Storing DIY tools Ideal for golf

WHETHER you have a modest set of DIY tools, such as paint and brushes, to perform simple tasks and updates to your home, or a large tool kit that would make any decorating expert jealous, it’s essential to store your items appropriately. Common DIY supply storage errors result in destroyed materials and tools that are no longer functional, as well as possible safety issues from improper storage.

Storing products next to ra diators is not only detrimental to the quality of your products, but also dangerous. When radi ators heat up, any adjacent liquids and soluble sub stances are at risk of altering consistency because of the increased temperature

Additionally, aerosols, for example, can quickly overheat and expand, causing their containers to explode, rup ture, or even blow up, endan gering everyone in the house and inflicting damage to walls, furniture, and other goods.

Experts also warn against storing your DIY products in bathroom cabinets. Anywhere with increased moisture and damp air can spoil liquid supplies like paint and glue. Cabinets and cupboards that aren't subject to changes in temperature are ideal for storing your decorating essentials.

Stacking supplies, such as cans of paint, on top of each other or too close together can cause serious injury or damage as well as leading to spillages and leaks. Instead, create compact shelving that provides a firm platform for each heavy object, making them less prone to move

It’s also essential to clean your tools before storing them, however tempting it may be to store paint brushes without washing them first. After cleaning them by soaking in water, put paint brushes in a jar with the handles down, or hang on the wall or pegboard to maintain the bristles.

THE Costa Calida is often called the Costa del Golf as it is not just a hobby but a way of life in Murcia. Many of the properties that are available to purchase in this region are based on golf urbanisations. The small region boasts 12 top golf courses to choose from such as Roda Golf in Los Alcazares and La Torre Golf Resort in Torre Pacheco. The most luxurious and probably the most famous golf resort on the Costa Calida is La Manga Golf with three courses to choose from, two designed by Robert Dean Putman and one designed by Dave Thomas.

Every time a new course is built you can be sure that there will be a development of housing, often a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas, and those who purchase a property around a new golf course can normally expect to negotiate very good club membership deals.

It seems almost perverse that an area that doesn’t have a huge amount of annual rainfall and can be very hot for those enjoying the pastime is looking to build more courses, but you can reckon if these companies are prepared to invest 10s of millions of euros, their research will have shown that the market exists.

Golfers are often happy to travel a reasonable dis- tance in order to play on different courses and as they become more skilled, they want to be on the most challenging courses.

The Costa Calida is very popular with golfers offering a wide variety of topclass courses that are easily accessible with Alicante Airport only a 40-minute drive away. September is a popular month for golfers and the region will attract many golfers during that period.
