For example, I think I’ll need a ladder. I’m looking for any suggestions from tools to security cameras, or whatever else you can think of. What should every new home owner consider getting?
Edit: in Canada btw, somewhere that gets a lot of snow in the winter
Really depends on your home, but a few that I had…
If you have wood floors, a bulk pack of sticky felt pads for furniture you buy to not scratch them up
Robot vacuum (or vac/mop)
Basic power tools
Electric lawn mower/weed whacker that uses the SAME BATTERIES as your power tools
if you’re a nerd and wanna do “smart home” stuff, don’t buy smart lights, buy smart switches
a touchless live-wire tester
A label maker
Big pack of furnace filters
an accordion folder thingy for the billions of documents you’ll wanna keep (receipts/user manuals for appliances), property tax assessments, etc
Bulk pack of lightbulbs with the same colour temperature (it looks idiotic if all your lights are different hues)
nail-in picture frame hangers, wall anchors (they’re YOUR walls now!)
keycode deadbolt
most microwaves have a way to enable “silent mode”, do that
water sensors (smart if possible), put under your hot water tank and dishwasher
double check your laundry room drain actually has a slope to it, and isn’t the damn high point in the room
if you’re not living with a romantic partner… I’d suggest not blowing your budget decorating… Let them have the space to feel like they can make the space thiers as well, and accept that means some of your decorations are going to be retired
100% on the water sensors! Gas sensor and carbon monoxide sensor too! I have a gas stove and people are always leaning against it and turning the gas knobs on.
