Ideal Bite

Need help getting in the spirit to tackle a home repair project? Ready...OK: March to Tipre Hardware in Old Towne. TH'll rent you power-up gadgets (it's got 60 or so) - drills, saws, carpet cleaners, even tile cutters. Grab a water gun-esque, drain-declogging sink rodder, and buh-bye plumber. TH rents for 24-hour periods, just call in advance to check availability - and tap the handy know-it-alls if you need advice. Case in point? We rented a caulking gun for our leaky tub, bought a tube of caulk, and picked up an important tip: tape first. You'll save cash and storage space - all while helping to decrease the 100 million tons of air-polluting steel that American mills churn out each year. Now rally.
