Reply To: Home Ownership

I just bought a house and need all the advice I can get. Its my first so this is all new to me. Appreciate any help you can give.

When a project come up around the house, use that as an excuse to buy a tool instead of renting/borrowing (within reason). It is a good way to accumulate the tools you need for things around the house.

HA!! How many times have I heard my husband say that old line. But it’s true :wink: Menards/Home Depot is like ToysRUs for men. After many years of marriage we’ve settled into our “repair” lanes. I’m good at measuring and precision, and lord help me he’ll NEVER pick a paint color (colorblindness he refuses to accept) but he’s a wiz at figuring out the problem and the steps needed to fix it.
