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

      I don’t own many tools, let alone enough tools that would necessitate an entire chest. What in particular do you suggest I fill it with?

        Inevitably you are going to need tools after you tire of paying contractors to fix or install things.

        A set of screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure, hammer

        That’s your starting set. As a homeowner trust me, you’ll find places to use them.

      Definitely a shop vac. Specifically a wet/dry vac so if something good wrong and leaks all over, you have a quick solution.

      Besides a typical big corded model, I also have a small cordless one which is super convenient. Depending what kind of stuff you plan to do, the small one might be enough. Be aware this can be another way to start the vendor-specific battery lock in. (Though you can get adapters.)
