I want to build or rebuild sensibly
Will you be building or rebuilding? Aside from building materials, put good protective equipment on your shopping list too.
The right work gloves are a must for building/rebuilding jobs. And there is the perfect pair for every job. Depending on the job you do, choose ones that are finger-sensitive and/or water-resistant and/or have a lot of grip.
Substances and/or vapours are released during many jobs. Protect yourself by choosing the right face mask.
With most jobs, you get good and dirty yourself. Protect yourself with the right overalls.
