When I first learned that I was going to be living on my own, I decided I needed to get some tools so that I would be able to at least attempt some minor repairs myself around the house once all "his" tools had moved away. The first thing I got was a cordless screwgun/drill. The first project was putting barrel slide locks on the two garage doors that didn't lock closed. My next tool was more simple, a nice 25' ruler. Then came the rachet set. Pieces always seemed to disappear from that, but I usually found them later mixed in with Cory's tools. I believe the shop vac came next then the tools buying ended for a while. Cory was living here more and his tools moved in with him. Now Cory is living with his girlfriend and I'm assuming the tools will move again. So I have decided to start up the Tool of the Month Club once again. So last week I went out and got my first set of screwdrivers. Because it had been so long since I bought anything, I splurged and got some stuff for the air compressor also. I have picked out a tool box and then perhaps a work light on a drop cord. Then I have looked at a powerwasher at times also. And to think they say that only men enjoy looking at tools!

I have tools too! Since Doug died I bought my own skill saw, a hacksaw, a coping saw, a battery-operated drill that doubles as a screwdriver, needlenose pliers, and a small toolbox. I carry all these things in my car so I can use them if needed when I am at John's house. In a house with teenagers you can't count on any tool being found when you need it!
