The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A carrier for holding a plurality of tubes of caulk, comprising: a carrier body formed with a plurality of compartments, each of the compartments being configured to receive one of the plurality of tubes of caulk; a cavity formed within the carrier body, the cavity being sized and arranged to hold a caulk gun; and a handle attached to the carrier; wherein the plurality of compartments comprises a first set of compartments arranged in a first row on a first side of the handle and a second set of compartments arranged in a second row on a second side of the handle, each of the first row and the second row having a lower surface and an upper rim defining a height; further wherein the cavity is formed in the space directly beneath the handle and between the first row and the second row, the cavity having a floor configured to support the caulk gun, the floor being relatively higher than the lower surfaces of the first row and the second row. 2. The carrier of claim 1, wherein each of the compartments is substantially circular in cross-section. 3. The carrier of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of compartments comprises six compartments and the second set of compartments comprises six compartments. 4. The carrier of claim 1, further comprising a projection for piercing one of the tubes of caulk. 5. The carrier of claim 4, wherein the projection includes a sharpened tip and is housed within a cavity having a rim, the tip of the projection being within the cavity at a location below the rim. 6. The carrier of claim 1, wherein each of the compartments includes a base having a central bore, the central bore being configured to receive a tip of a tube of caulk. 7. The carrier of claim 1, wherein each of the compartments comprises a diameter, the diameter of each of the compartments being substantially the same. 8. The carrier of claim 1, wherein each of the compartments comprises a diameter, wherein the diameter of at least one of the compartments is smaller than the diameter of at least one other of the compartments. 9. The carrier of claim 1, further comprising a first height defined by a top surface of a tube of caulk when housed within a compartment, and a second height defined by a top surface of the handle, wherein the first height is greater than the second height. 10. A carrier for holding a plurality of tubes of caulk, comprising: a carrier body formed with a plurality of substantially cylindrical compartments, each of the compartments having a lower surface and an upper rim defining a height and being configured to receive one of the plurality of tubes of caulk, the plurality of compartments further being arranged into a first set of compartments and a second set of compartments, the first and second sets of compartments being separated by an intermediate space; a shelf formed on the carrier body, the shelf being located in the intermediate space and configured to hold a caulk gun; the shelf being located at a level between the lower surface and the upper rim, the shelf further having a width between the first set of compartments and the second set of compartments; and a handle attached to the carrier, the handle extending upwardly and overlying the intermediate space at a position that bifurcates the width of the shelf. 11. The carrier of claim 10, further comprising a means for piercing one of the tubes of caulk. 12. The carrier of claim 10, wherein each of the compartments includes a base having a central bore. 13. The carrier of claim 10, wherein each of the compartments further comprises a diameter, the diameter of at least one of the compartments being smaller than the diameter of at least one other of the compartments.
