Most of you don’t know that a huge portion of my career was spent as a buyer for one of our major Home Improvement chains. I bought Lumber, Building Materials and Tools. So when I go into one of the big boxes, I can spend hours just roaming up and down every aisle, and I love the tool section. At our house we have his and her tools, so I always know where my hammer and screw drivers are. I have some Mother’s Day money, so there are a couple of things I am shopping for.
My son just bought this wonderful workbench and I think I need one too. 60″ wide, 4 drawers, a shelf on bottom for storage and a super substantial work surface. He found this beauty at Harbor Freight and it is on sale for $159.99. You can check it out here http://www.harborfreight.com. I keep using the kitchen island, and then have to clear everything off so I can cook. This beauty would let me just leave my projects on the workbench and finish up later. (See, I think I really do need this.) For all of you other ladies, can’t you see yourself really using something like this.
Another thing, I would love to add is a nailer/stapler to my tool box. I think this would be so handy to use for a ton of different projects, especially moldings that I want to add throughout the house. I spied this jewel when I was browsing online for the workbench.. Light weight and can use either staples, nails or brads. I think that fits the bill for a ton of different projects. Plus it’s on sale for $19.99. Just snap on my compressor line and go to work.
Ok, I love shopping online, but they have a store near me, so I think I NEED to go and spend a few hours roaming up and down the aisles. Money is burning a hole in my pocket. lol
So, what about you, do you have your own tools and do you drool up and down the aisles of the home center and every hardware and tool store you can find?
Oh, I also have to show you that I was spoiled with some gorgeous flowers too. Aren’t they stunning. Tools and flowers, what more could a girl want!!!!
Plus getting to spend the day with these two, made it a really super day. (They quit tickling each other long enough to get this pic.) My daughter and youngest son.
