“A tube of bathroom/kitchen caulk and a tube of superglue. Caulk covers all manner of evils as far as gaps in frames and baseboards. A single little crack can really throw off the finished look of a door or window.” – MrFurrypants

“A good ladder. Don’t fuck around. Get a ladder four feet taller than the gutters of your house. Get a sturdy aluminum one. Use it to install stuff, paint, patch the roof, repair the gutters, clean the gutters, all manner of things. Then you can ditch it in the weeds alongside the garage and forget about it for six years.. until, one day, you will need the everloving shit out of it again. Then it’s I HAVE THE BEST LADDER HOLD MY BEER I GOT THIS.” – yobsmezn
