is my other option, so I thought I'd post about the paint I'm using instead.

I'm in the process of refinishing my kitchen cupboards, and I thought I'd talk about the paint because it's a new product, and in Canada and the US, there are new regulations about paint that might affect you in your next project.( Read more... )

Hi, if you don't know me already, my name's Cathy and I and my partner own a house built in about 1880 with an addition built on around 1900. The house was also renovated about twenty years ago by an interesting individual. Our work on the house has been more about undoing than anything else, and I really wish I could have a Ctrl+Z in my toolbox.

I volunteered to write a post about what to put in your basic toolbox, and here it is. I'm using Canadian Terms for things, so you might call the same tool something different in your country. Feel free to ask for clarification in comments and please, please, offer up your own suggestions on must haves.

( Under the cut is my list of the must haves )

Add to the list! What do you have in your toolbox you can't live without?

What websites do you visit when you need to learn how to do a repair?

These three are my standards:
This Old House
Fine Woodworking
Repair Clinic (great exploded views of most major appliances)

I love sites that show video of repairs. Although in the videos, it's always better lit, more spacious, and cleaner than when I do repairs myself. (Ooh, we could have a post on trouble lights!)
