Care For Tools Properly

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE

Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

* “Before traveling, I write down the numbers, expiration and contact information for any credit cards I plan to bring with me. I keep one copy hidden in my luggage, and another is le with a friend back home. is way, if anything happens to my wallet, I can easily call and cancel cards and arrange for replacements.” -- R.E. in New York

* “When getting ready to entertain, I use sticky notes to organize my serving pieces. For each dish, I make two sticky notes. I label the dishes and set them out on the bu et. When I am satis ed with the arrangement, I remove one sticky note and attach it to the place the dish will remain, and the dish goes to the kitchen, still labeled until it’s lled.” -- W. in Texas

* Lipstick on your linens? Dab with petroleum jelly, then dish soap. en launder as usual. Be sure the stain is removed before you dry the linens.
