You’ve moved into your new home, set up all the furniture, put away all the dishes and now you’re ready to hang your favorite pictures…do you have a hammer and nails?
Most people who have already owned a home in the past have a pretty handy set of tools but when you’re a first time homeowner, chances are you don’t have a complete tool box. And since you’ve purchased new construction, it should be awhile before you need to do any repairs on your own. But the time will come and it’s a good idea to be prepared.
Along with your basic hammer and nails, I have a list of tools that you really should have on hand that includes a drill, pliers, wrench and measuring tape. For a good complete list, check out this article for everything to stock up on in your tool box – you’ll be happy you did!
