So you are not a contractor, but you are a weekend warrior. You decide that you can swing a bathroom remodel, but do not want to invest money into expensive tools, as you will only be using them once or twice. Oakland has a tool lending library in the Temescal district! To borrow tools you need to have a library card and have proof that you live in Oakland, Emeryville or Piedmont , (a utility bill or property tax bill). The tools are free and you can keep them for 3,5 or 7 days depending on the tool. 5205 Telegraph Avenue - 510-597-5089, open Tuesday thru Saturday
