Tool & Parts Planner
Plan what to measure, what to bring, what to ask, and what safety signs to watch for before starting a project or going to the store.
Many project mistakes happen before the work starts: missing measurements, wrong parts, no safety check, or buying before understanding what the project really needs. Ask Uncle G helps you slow down and prepare before spending money or touching anything risky.
Do not shop instead of responding to danger
If there is a gas smell, sparks, smoke, burning smell, shock, active flooding, water near electricity, sewage, ceiling sagging, structural danger, or someone may be hurt — stop and contact emergency services or qualified help now.
