Is the storage space in your home overflowing? Many of us wish our basement or garage was less cluttered, more spacious, and more efficient. But when it’s time for a new project, sport, or read, we tend to run out and buy tools, sports equipment, and books when we could borrow or share instead. Renting or borrowing is a great alternative to buying expensive household tools used infrequently, a good idea when trying a new sport, and a great resource for books, movies and other media.

Some ideas to help you get started!

• You can rent many tools from your local hardware store.

Merlin’s Ace Hardware – Chanhassen
The Home Depot – Chaska
Mayer Lumber - Mayer
True Value – Norwood Young America
       

 
By borrowing and sharing instead of buying, you’ll spend less money, keep your home organized, and simplify your life.
