<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFire Extinguisher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There may be some items on this move-in checklist that you\u2019ll want to skip to save some money, but a fire extinguisher should not be one of them. We all know how quickly fires spread; in case of an emergency, a fire extinguisher will either take care of the situation or buy you some crucial time before the firefighters arrive. We recommend purchasing one for each floor of your house.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go with a multi-purpose fire extinguisher that\u2019s rated for use on regular combustibles, inflammable liquid spills, and fires instigated by electrical apparatuses. When you\u2019re in a state of panic during an emergency, you won\u2019t have time to assess the type of fire and decide the best way to smother it; this is the perfect kind of extinguisher you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curtains\/Blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Not only are curtains and blinds a nice accent to add to your new abode, but they\u2019re also practical in maintaining your privacy as well.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silky elegant curtains do a magnificent job at keeping the streetlight out of the bedroom for a perfect night\u2019s sleep and keeping the early morning sunlight out if you want a lazy lie in over the weekend.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also go with blackout curtains to prevent outsiders from catching a glimpse of you walking to your bedroom completely exposed post-shower. Blackout curtains are also great if you have children or other members of your household that sleep during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have small children around the house, you may want to opt for cordless blinds to avoid asphyxiating hazards. They also offer a much cleaner look that many homeowners appreciate. No more cords hanging on the ground, waiting to get tangled up in your vacuum cleaner!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Need a happy medium? Go with dual-layer roller blinds, which will keep the light out when you want and provide sunlight when you need it without fully exposing your home\u2019s interior to the outside world.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With any blinds, you\u2019ll want to factor into your budget the cost of custom-fitting them to your windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toolkit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another very handy item to add to your new home checklist is a toolkit. You may not think you need it right away, but once you start to find things that require fixing around the house, you\u2019ll wish you had a tool kit nearby.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for something that contains all the items you\u2019d need for any DIY repair in your home. That includes pliers, sockets of different sizes, a drill, a saw, and a screwdriver set.
