A Toolbox for Repairs

A toolbox will have all the tools you need to work on various projects in your home and is also perfect when helping friends or family with their DIY tasks too! In addition, it is essential for repairs, so you'll be able to fix anything on the spot.

A Lawnmower

A lawn mower will make the job of cutting your grass much more effortless. Additionally, a gas engine powers the mower, and it has a rotating blade to cut the grass efficiently - saving you time and effort! If you combine it with the best electric weed eaters, your lawn will be immaculate. 

Leaf Rake

A leaf rake will help you clean up fallen leaves and debris from your lawn quickly and efficiently for the autumn months.

Stepladder

Whether you're painting a wall or putting up holiday decorations, a stepladder helps you reach those hard-to-reach places in the house.

Extension Cord

An extension cord is perfect for when you need to plug in a power tool. It gives the electric current more reach, which will make your tasks much easier and faster.

A Tool Belt

A tool belt will make carrying and storing your tools much easier so that when you need them, they're right there on hand! It also helps protect from injury as well as saves time looking around for a specific item.

Pressure Washer

You can use a pressure washer at any time of year - whether to get rid of moss on your driveway or wash your car- therefore; it is an excellent tool for any home. It is a cost-effective way of maintaining your home.

A Shovel

You can use a shovel for all sorts of tasks at home like digging in dirt or snow - making it super handy! But, of course, you'll never know when you might need one, so make sure you have one at home.

A Hose Reel

Keeping an unused length of hose on hand can be helpful for many different tasks in your yard, like washing a car or watering the garden. But it can also be dangerous if left lying around! That's why using a hose reel is preferable because it keeps the water safely stored away after use, so you don't have to worry about tripping over and hurting yourself.

A Power Drill

You will need a power drill for drilling holes in various surfaces, applying sealants and even tightening screws! A cordless model is perfect if space isn't an issue. However, if this doesn't suit your needs, a corded model can be plugged in and is more powerful.


In conclusion, these are some of the best home maintenance items to have in your home for tackling all the usual household chores. As time passes, I am sure you will add many more!

Parasites

 I fall a little out of 
love
with the world

more and more
each day

The noise
pollution
static
it gets in the way

it's right there
below us
seething and turning
while we
pretend
it's not happening

There is no change
you say

While she screams
and moans
beneath you 

The agony 
of
the host
being murdered slowly by these

parasites

the muted hum
has become an alarm

But convenience
outweighs the 
life of
mother

I fall a little out of
love
with the world
every day

I have to

It will make it 
easier
to watch
it go 
away.
