Pawn shops.
Good point. Can't hurt, certainly.
One thing I have learned about owning homes and owning rental property is this:
Improperly-seated toilets are the highest ratio of (potential damage)/(cheap to fix). If your toilet wiggles at all, pull it and reseat it properly.
Second-highest is probably basement drainage, a check-valve on your sump pump outlet line and a $10 watchdog water alarm from home depot
No basement, unfortunately. Single floor ranch style.
Gotcha, reseat the seat. Will pick up a few basic plumbing books. Not planning on doing my own for anything major, but I want to know more than my limitations. So I don't get ripped off, if nothing else.
I'd consider just replacing all the toilet wax rings anyways. Get it done with.
Water supply lines to the toilets, dishwasher, and reefer if so equipped.
All the above is half a day's work, tops.
Replace all the ac/furnace filters
consider having someone come out and clean the hvac ducts. Couple hundred bucks usually but can improve the air quality in the house considerably.
Good points. Check and replace water lines and filters, gotcha.
Will check into the ducts.
Tools, etc?
Plumber's wrench
Ladder long enough to get you on the roof
medium step ladder for smaller in house chores
Chainsaw (since you have property with trees).
Gas powered trimmer
Axe
handsaw
couple shovels.
couple folding sawhorses
wheelbarrow (Two wheeled ones are the bees knees)
Rakes (leaf rake and a metal mulch rake)
Buckets. Several 5 gallon and maybe a few smaller ones
If you keep most of your tools in the garage, make a "house kit", small tool box with the basics for quick projects.
What kind of vehicle do you have?
Pretty much matches my list. Tho I intend to get a cart in addition to a wheelbarrow. The property is on the side of a hill. Pondering what to do with that. Do want to clear a section of the high ground and make a small firepit. Maybe eventually put a gazebo or very small pavilion up there.
Fortunately, re trees, my sister's boyfriend is in the tree business. So likely kick him some loot for most of that sort of thing. But a chainsaw is a handy thing.
Currently have a four door sedan. Looking into used pickup truck in addition.
