Tips - Wrap your water heater with a water-heater blanket, especially if it's in an unheated area. Wrap the tank and pipes for additional savings.
- Use a wire coat hanger if you're cutting tile: just score the tile, lay the scored line along the bottom of the hanger and snap it off at the scored mark.
- Vinegar isn't just for salads anymore: soak a rag in vinegar and wipe away soap scum and hard-water stains.
- To make a curved cut in tile, first score it, then cut it with nippers.
