One of my favourite things about being a homeowner is updating the look of my home, and with a house that’s over a century old, there is a lot to be updated! Room by room, I have been tackling projects and modernizing the look of my house, and recently Canadian Tire gave me the chance to update one of the rooms that I’ve been longing to tackle for months…my living room.
The living room is fairly small, like most rooms in the house. The floor was covered with the same carpet that had been in the house when I was born, making it about 35 years old. Half the walls were drywall but the other half were still lathe and plaster. The room had been painted back when I was a teenager, but the beige shade was outdated and overall look of the room was rather haphazard and old fashioned. I couldn’t wait to tackle the job and turn the room into a comfortable and modern area for spending time with my boys.
Canadian Tire supplied me with a new power drill and an assortment of supplies to upgrade the look of my room and I couldn’t wait to get started. Since I was doing all the work myself, I decided to tackle the room one wall at a time rather than try to do too much at once. It was the right decision, because even repairing the damage to the existing walls was quite a job! But as soon as the first wall was washed, repaired, sanded and painted, I could tell that the work was going to be well worth it. The change in the look of the room was phenomenal!
After seeing how useful my husband’s Dremel 8200 Cordless Rotary Tool was, I couldn’t help but find myself curious about Dremel’s newest innovation, the Cordless Dremel Multi-Max. The Dremel Multi-Max was the very first oscillating tool backed by the Dremel name and when my husband and I were given a chance to try the brand new cordless version of this amazing device, I couldn’t wait to see what it could do.
But the usefulness of the Cordless Dremel Multi-Max didn’t end there! In the coming weeks, my husband used the tool for everything from sanding and smoothing the edges of some wooden cupboards he was refinishing to planing down the frame of our screen door, which had recently started sticking when we tried to shut it. The cordless design made this the perfect tool for any awkward space and my husband was blown away by just how many things he could do with the Multi-Max!
