Air Nailers

The trusty hammer will always have its place in any home toolbox but when it is time to tackle a larger job, you may want to consider an air nailer to make things easier.

Using an air nailer can make remodeling easier than ever.  Imagine the speed and accuracy you can achieve when installing new counter tops or building a new deck.

The Benefits of an air gun eliminates the need of having an extra hand.  You can position the item you are nailing and place the nail gun directly on the target of where you want to drive in the nail.  The speed and accuracy of the nail gun gets the nail in with the squeeze of the trigger. This also prevents splitting of wood in woodworking projects.

There are so many brands and models of air nailers available today that the competition keeps the costs down.  Now hobbyists and home carpenters can afford to have these once expensive tools as part of their tool collection.  You can still find nail guns on sale at local hardware stores and even better deals can be found online when searching for used or refurbished models.  Refurbished air nailers can often be purchased for half off a new model and often come with a warranty.

Give the old hammer a break on your next big project.  Air nailer accessories have also become much more affordable.  Don’t let the refurbished models of air nailers and compressors scare you.

Rental Furniture

Most of us would think it foolish to rent furniture. There are situations where renting may be the best option.

You buy a house and live in it until your family arrives. Do you go out and buy new furniture or do you rent a few necessities in the meantime?

• Right after you get married, you move into a new home. Do you rush your decisions or do you rent furniture until you find the style that will please you both?

• You graduate from college and accept a position in an unfamiliar city. You can’t afford to go out and purchase the items you’ll need right away.

If you find yourself in any of these situations, renting all or part of your furniture may be a viable option. The thing you have to keep in mind is that it’s never a long-term solution. From the figures in the first paragraph, you can see how expensive renting is over the long haul.

If you don’t have the cash or credit to purchase what you need, or if you only plan to be without furniture for a little while, short-term rental may be the best solution.

Most furniture rental companies offer several options from which to choose. Most of them also offer packages in different price ranges, depending on the style and quality of the furniture you require.

• The bedroom package usually includes a double or queen-size bed, night stand and lamp, and 1 chest.

• A living room package provides a couch, end table and lamp, cocktail table, and a chair.

• A dining room package includes a table and 4 chairs.

• A complete home package includes all of the above.

• You can also rent any accessories you may need, including cookware and china, rugs, additional lamps, TV’s, stereos, etc.

In short, furniture rental can be an economically sound solution to your problem, if you use your common sense and don’t get in over your head.

As long as you rent only what you need and do so for as short a time as possible, furniture rental may be the solution you need.
