Rooting cuttings is a way for home gardeners to reproduce fine pecan varieties without mutation.
Best Type of Cutting Two types of cuttings can be taken from pecan trees for rooting: softwood or hardwood cuttings.

Appliances like Lavazza expresso machines that heat water can build up lime scale. Heating tap water extracts the minerals from it and forms a white film inside the water tank.

Large buildups of lime scale will not allow coffee to flow and can be detrimental to your machine.
Cleaning your espresso machine with a descaler keeps it in functioning properly.

Over time, metal that is exposed to the elements can become rusted. A padlock used outdoors, such as to lock up a garden shed, is repeatedly exposed to damp conditions. This can result in oxidation--rust forming on the padlock.
If the rust is not promptly removed, it will continue to spread and eat away at the iron in the lock. In addition, the more rust that builds up on a padlock, the more difficult the lock will be to open.

How to Clean Caulk. Caulk in the bathroom can sometimes get a black or gray discoloration. This discoloration is mold, which you should clean as quickly as possible.

Miter-box saws are most often used for trimwork, and for a reason: Trim generally is installed with mitered (angled) cuts in the corners. A miter saw is the only way to get that angle exactly right.
If you want to install trim without a miter box, however, there is a way to do it using only square cuts, which you can make with a standard circular saw. By using corner blocks to form your corners, you avoid mitering altogether.
