It was not hard and will save a ton of money. I used the recipe from <a href="http://duggarfamily.com/content/duggar_recipes/30455/homemade_liquid_laundry_soap_front_or_top_load_machine_best_value">19 kids and counting's website</a>. It will make 10 gallons of laundry soap. Someone posted that it ends up costing about 1 cent per load based on buying the ingredients, which you still have plenty leftover to make a t least a few more batches (except the Fels Naptha soap bar which you use entirely). See my Cost Breakdown at end.<br>
<br>
Been using it for 2 weeks now... and using approx. 1/4 cup white vinegar as a fabric softener (it does not smell after dry) placed in fabric softener dispenser on front load washing machine (1/2 cup in downy ball for top load)<br>
<br>
Have been really pleased with the results. I am now giving away my store of detergent and fabric softener.<br>

It is needed since the house is on a steep hill and the front yard hill has been gradually slipping down. And he decided to build me a waterfall in the process :) I will post pics on his progress, still going to be awhile til it's done.... he finished the steps before winter and the bottom tier of the wall is done.<br>
