For example, I think I’ll need a ladder. I’m looking for any suggestions from tools to security cameras, or whatever else you can think of. What should every new home owner consider getting?

Edit: in Canada btw, somewhere that gets a lot of snow in the winter

    Graphite lock lube. Just hit every doorknob in the house. Trust me, once you get used to properly lubricated doorknobs lock dials you’ll notice when they aren’t.

      Reminds me of an old lock at my job, which was notorious for eating keys. I had the magic touch and could get keys unstuck without any issues. But apparently nobody else in the building could figure it out. I was getting calls to come get random people’s keys out of the lock, like it was a fucking sword in a stone. So a maintenance request was put in to fix the lock.

      The very first thing the maintenance guy did was blow some graphite into the lock, stick a key in it to wiggle it around and spread the graphite… And promptly get the key stuck in the lock. I had to walk all the way across the building, to pull the maintenance guy’s damned key out of the lock.
