apartment – Christy Grace Scarlet Pen

What exactly should be in a toolbox? I’m talking the Essential items that every home should have?

Okay, I’m moving into my first place, and I know NOTHING about tools. Seriously, Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor would be shattered with how little I know about tools.
I understand that you need them (I’m always searching for a screwdriver at home), but past that – i got nothing! I need the “Toolbox Essentials” I’m sure, but a tool connoisseur, I am not… With Bunnings only click and collect thanks to lockdown right now, it means asking a hunky Bunnings staff member what to choose is out of the question.

When I move to my new apartment, I want to stock up on the Toolbox “essential” items. I have a set of screwdrivers, and a small hammer currently in the pile, but that’s it. Personally, I was hoping that once I get into the apartment, I’d realise what I needed – but it would be too late! It could be entirely possible that I’d end up with nothing helpful, or a giant hole in the wall that I can’t fix…

Because I am an absolute tool “newbie”, I decided to reach out for advice. Only people who already have the essentials, would know how to start! So, tool fanatics – What are the essential items that you need for a toolbox? Is a saw numero uno in the pack? Or how about a monkey wrench?

Tell me what to include in the comments, so I’m at least a little prepared! I’d love to hear your answers!

See You in the Adventures!

Stairs…?

Four flights of stairs?? No thanks!

I couldn’t image having to go up four flights of stairs every day, never mind 20 flights!

Recently in the Hannah Carmichael Chronicles instalment THE FALL (HCC 69) Hannah had to chase someone up 20 flights of stairs!
Even though I don’t really address the absolute EXHAUSTION that she was probably facing after that trek, I was very much aware of it myself.

I’m not the most fit human being in the world (although I am working on that!), so the though alone, of having to trudge up 20 stories, 20 sets of 10 or more stairs, was the WORST thing I could think of.

Luckily, Hannah had athleticism and adrenaline on her side – although what happened next wasn’t the BEST out of the possible options (but you’ll have to check out the story to see what I mean).

After thinking about this, I realised there are people who are FORCED to go up stairs every day – those people who live in apartments with no elevator!
Four floor walk ups, or buildings with six stories and no lift…. ugh.

Props to those people, but if I wanted to rent/buy an apartment, it HAS to include an elevator!

I’d love to know which type of person YOU are. If you had the choice, would you use the stairs or the elevator? Pop your answer in the comments below, or head to the CGSP Facebook page and let us know!
