if it gets to what it should be today i might attempt to wash mine... i got a pressure washer, but the only outside tap is plumbed to our well water and thats pretty hard stuff. i'll wait until i get a soft water tap, plumb both hot and cold to it and give her a real treat!!

Thats a good way to do er. How hard is your water? Ours here was pretty hard till we got the culligan system, and wow it has been amazing ever since.

I love this kinda weather, I read the forecast this morning and it said high of minus 3 and cloudy. So far its pretty sunny out here, so i hope it gets in the plus.

our tap water is now on a town system pumped from melville and its really good. we don't use the softener now and all is well. our well water is really, really hard. i dunno what it measures, but it's pretty bad.

Ours out here was 2.4 I think. It was pretty bad, but the water softener is amazing.

i should measure our well water... the tap water is so much better though, no softener needed. my inlaws use a softener for theirs, same water system, and they hardly use any salt...

How much do you pay a month for the city water though? If you use alot, like we do, the softener is the way to go.

See all we pay out here is zero haha. But we did have to buy the pressure system, get the well dug, and the stuff for the septic. Oh we do have to pay the little bit of power to run it too.

I guess for the rest of the stuff its needed for a house that a person buys anyways.
