The Essentials: What Every Girl Needs in Her Toolbox
Carter Oosterhouse, “America’s Handyman,” from the popular show Trading Spaces says women can fix up their places on their own. Get a toolbox to house the essentials listed below. Remember to keep your toolbox in a convenient and dry spot. Out of the way, but within reach when you need it.
TAPE MEASURE: Size Up Your Prospects! Do they measure up?
Need to center that picture? Is that area rug going to fit in your foyer – and still allow the door to close properly? Size it up with a tape measure.
HAMMER: Hit and Run!
While the bottom of an old shoe worked on nails when you were in college, time to play grown up and get a hammer. Great for those times when you need a little extra muscle.
PLIERS: Get a Grip!
Need a tight squeeze? Save your manicure ladies and find a great pair of Pliers.
SCREW GUN (12 V): Got A Screw Loose?
The most versatile of all, this handy tool has interchangeable bits and can be used for all kinds of functions around the house. They come in all shapes and sizes – choose one that fits your lifestyle.
PICTURE HANGING KIT: Hang Tight!
You can pick one of these kits up for about $5 dollars and they are worth every penny. Pictures can liven up any room – and if you are going to hang them – nail it the first time.
