Posted on November 20, 2009
Filed Under Buying Your New Home, Valerie Zinger
Sometimes having a list is easier to use than a long descriptive paragraph. Here is a list of the things that could be in the new homeowner’s basic tool box:
- hammer
- multiple bit screw driver
- pencils (for marking things like where to hang pictures)
- pliers
- putty knife (because sometimes you need to patch a hole in the wall)
- work gloves (there is a yuk factor in some home repairs)
- sanding paper and sanding sponge
- the ikea allen key (we all have one or several somewhere in the house)
- level (the longer the better)
- measuring tape (again, the longer the better)
- utility knife
- adjustable wrench
- stud finder (easier and better than tapping the wall)
- flashlight (If you have a leak under the counter how else will you see it?)
Most of this list is from the TV Show Downright Domestic .
