items As a homeowner of a 200 year old Victorian, I do a lot myself around the house to save money. Here are some of my best products for DIY home repair.
An annual must in my area. I use these with a lawn chute for easy filling.
30 Gal. Paper Lawn and Leaf Bags 5-Count
This leaf bag chute makes filling leaf bags so much easier! Love!
Plastic Leaf and Lawn Chute
A very nice contractor turned me on to this product when my deck railings started to fail but I didn't have the cash to shell out for a new deck. He said this was the best product on the market and I agree!! My deck railings are secure again, and going strong after a year.
Bondo Home Solutions Wood Filler, Sandable in 15 min, 1.9 lbs with 1 oz Hardener
I bought this last month and used it to strip 8 layers of paint from a picnic table and I was very happy with the results. The scent is also very pleasing to me, citrusy and not overpowering. Highly recommend!
Smart Strip Advanced Paint Remover - Strips Up to 15 Layers of Acrylic, Latex, Oil, & WaterBased Paints, Varnishes, Stains, & Coatings Usually in One Application - DIY Friendly - 1 Quart
This set is a great addition to my home arsenal of supplies and I buy a new one annually. Includes 1 Ea of 1" Flat, 1-1/2" Angle, 2" Stubby Angle, 2" Flat & 2-1/2" Angle.
Pro Grade Home Wall / Trim House Paint Brush Set - for Cabinet Decks Fences Interior Exterior & Commercial Paintbrush
This is an item that I'm always rebuying because we use so much of it. It's great for keeping lines crisp when painting and doesn't damage walls in the process.
Scotch Blue Painter's Tape, 1.88 in. x 60 yd., 1 Pack, Original Multi-Surface, Paint Supplies
This is another product I buy often for my 200 year old home. Scrape out soft wood, use this product to harden the remaining wood, and refill with Bondo Wood Filler. Great for small jobs that can be easily handled at home.
16 oz. High Performance Wood Hardener
I buy lots of these and use it around the house in so many places in our trim work. Filling little gaps and imperfections seems like it wouldn't make the biggest difference in the appearance of a home but it actually makes a significant difference.
