Happy New Year! Here’s a January treat from Sears Hometown Stores, Sears Home Appliance Showroom, and Sears Appliance & Hardware Stores. This month we asked a question: "What’s on your home improvement to do list in the New Year and what tools help you get the project done?”
My husband and I rented for the longest time! We finally decided that it would be best for our entire family’s future to purchase a house! We got preapproved for our loan and the house hunting started!
My husband really wanted to purchase a new house! My dad is very handy, and one of my biggest desires was to find an old house that was a fixer upper that I and my husband could work on together! The house we finally agreed upon appeared to be in great condition, it just needed the fun cosmetic fixes, a great compromise for myself and my husband! He didn’t have to take on any huge tasks, and I still got to do little fixes around the house! Oh boy were we wrong.
Not even a year into home ownership and we have dealt with a leaky ceiling, a clogged tub, a cracked toilet, a broken sump pump, a flooded basement, carpenter ants, faulty outlets and ruined carpets!
We are still a young couple, and decided to purchase this house so we only had to fix cosmetic things! But with the problems we had, we decide to grab a few DIY books and learn ourselves! We quickly learned how to fix things ourselves, and realized a lot of problems around the house can be fixed with a quick trip to Sears to buy needed hardware!
Our junk drawer used to hold just a simple screw driver! Now we have a shelf in our basement filled with tons of tools from the local Sears Hardware Store!! A saw, a hammer, a drill, a wrench, a level, and tons of different paint brushes!
We had no idea the can of worms we were opening!
It started with painting our house and cleaning the smoked stained walls and replacing the carpet in the whole house.
Here it comes.. before and after pictures!
