Our First Toolbox

Colin and I took a trip to the Red Hook Home Depot in Brooklyn today. What became very apparent, this was not your Chelsea Home Depot. This was a serious business Home Depot, not for novices. Our mission: put together a toolbox.

As we're now homeowners, I thought it was time to invest in some basic tools. We bought a screwdriver set, a hammer, a level, and an electric drill (and a box to put it all in). That's right - AN ELECTRIC DRILL! I love it.

We put the drill to good use over the weekend as we dismantled one of the Ikea wardrobes. This was a story in and of itself but as far as tools were concerned, that drill made a big difference. I can't wait to use it again. It's very gratifying to screw and unscrew at the push of a trigger.
