Get what you need for every
project at HomeDepot.com

1. 1

   Remove the screws from the wooden top. Place the top upside down on the floor. Don't lose the screws because they are hard to find at the hardware store! Place the top somewhere where it can sit overnight undisturbed.

2. 2

   Take the first stripped screw hole and inset a toothpick. Push it in as far as it will go and then break it off flush with the top of the hole.
   Now fill the hole with wood glue.

3. 3

   Take a screw for the top and run it into the hole. If it's tight you are done. Remove the screw and let the glue dry overnight. If the screw is still loose add another toothpick. Repeat until the screw goes in really tight! Now...do the rest of them. Put the top back on the next day.

WHERE HAS NYC"S #1 ASSEMBLY AND HANDYMAN SERVICE BEEN??

Hello everyone, I am certain many of you thought our blog and perhaps even our business for the matter since we haven't posted in so long. Well, it's a long story but I will be as brief as possible. I and one of my subcontractors were leaving a kitchen we had just completed and came out beautiful. We went to the 14th street station to catch the train which was about 4:30 and rush hour. While standing there people were pushing and shoving which is normal except there was a mother with two other children just running a muck while she attempted to hold a cell phone conversation underground inching her way towards the gate for better reception. However, in the meantime someone hit the carriage and it fell off the platform onto the track. The man next to me was a mailman and asked me if I would help him get the carriage and child out. He was quite tall and sat on the platform and lowered himself down while I thought I was still 20 years of age and jumped down planning to land in the gravel, only "The Luck of the Irish" my right foot landed on the iron track fracturing my calcanius in Severn (7) areas and left dozens of small bone particles. This incident kept me hospitalized for 3 months and hoping to be done with physical therapy within two (2) years. In a way this was a blessing because I had my manager handle all the day to day work and as you notice we not only now offer more services we are ranked #1 on GOOGLE!!!! Please take a moment and visit our website.pdqassemblyanddesign.com with the PDQ standing for Pretty Damn Quick.

I am going to try to post several listings to make up for lost time so be sure to check back.

Tile Thinset a Thing of The Past with Tiling Backsplashes & other Areas!!

A company called BONDERA came out with "Tilematset" an alternative to thinset and other adhesives with the traditional mixing and troweling it on then setting the tile on the walls. This new material is like "FLYPAPER". You just peel off protective backing and adhere it to the wall, then peel off the front so you can start to place the tiles to the mat. No other adhesives are needed. You can grout the job the very same day. "Tilematset" is super sticky, but you can still adjust the tiles after you set them in place. It's not expensive either because you can by a 12" by 10' roll for about $39.99 at Lowes. Visit "Tilemaster" at www.bonderatilematset.com

At PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick) Assembly and Design, LLC we intend to use this product unless the customer objects.

TREE HUGGER FLAT PACK FURNITURE PICKS!

Flat-pack furniture, much like downloadable designs, owes much of its TreeHugger appeal from having the ability to create something three-dimensional from a flat (or nearly flat) material; this makes it easy to ship, easy to assemble and generally space efficient. Here are some of our favorite flat-packable pieces of furniture.

	1) Unto This Last is a London-based company that makes flat-sing furniture to order, using the latest 3d modelling software and a big CNC machine at the back of the shop. Instead of shipping and storing furniture, they have a load of sustainably harvested Latvian and Finnish plywood. When an order is placed it is manufactured to order, negating the need for a big warehouse, extra transportation or excessive packaging.
	2) DES Furniture takes a single sheet of FSC certified Europly, mixes "conceptual sensitivity with technical expertise", plays a CNC machine like a violin and creates furniture like this book-case without any waste at all. It needs no fasteners or glue and could be shipped in a (really big) envelope.
	3) raw studio makes these groovy garden chairs made from one sheet of sustainable plywood. They're made in Kent, by a local UK manufacturer, and the creator is an engineer-turned-art-student, who has also built a "coffee" table made out of (you guessed it) recycled coffee grounds. The remaining two picks are after the jump...

	4) Keijidesign has created a "heavy metal" flat-pack chair that's created from a single sheet of perforated (and bent) steel. Say the designers, "At first, we were surprised at how easily a sheet of steel could be bent along a perforated line…just like Origami, the traditional Japanese paper craft."
	5) The students at the Ryerson School of Interior Design started with a 4' x 4' sheet of plywood, and created some really well thought-out, well-designed tables; they're all sort of a backwards flat-pack -- just take them apart, and you're left with a square of plywood less than four feet square...all they need now is a manufacturer.

TWO LOOKS AT A HANDICAPPED BATHROOM by PDQ

When a handicapped accessible home is needed, whether it's caused by aging, chronic illness, or unexpected accident, there are dozens of easy to make improvements that help the quality of life for a loved one.

Changes you could make in the handicapped accessible home bathroom

The bathroom signifies personal independence more than any other room in the home. Because of this problem designers and manufacturers are constantly working on innovative products to preserve safety and independence for the disabled and elderly. Since moisture is a factor in the bathroom promoting safety from falls on slippery surfaces is of first priority for all members of the family not just the handicapped.

Installing grab bars near tubs and showers is a quick and easy first step. Apply non-slip adhesive strips or decals to the bottom of tubs and showers. If the existing floor is tile or ceramic with a slick slippery surface you can brush a slip-resistant glaze on it for safety.

Purchase ready-to-use shower and tub seats to make bathing safer and easier for the elderly and the disabled. You can also replace your shower head with an adjustable shower head mounted on a vertical slide bar. Often these come with a hand held option. These changes in the shower will make it more handicap accessible for seated bathers.

Keep the area under the sink open so wheelchair users can move up to the counter and have the sink accessible to them. When mounting mirrors over the sink, tilt them at an angle so seated users can see themselves easily.

Install a vent fan with a heating lamp to reduce moisture and help reduce slippery areas. Oftentimes the elderly are bothered by cold. Installing this heating lamp will warm the bathroom and provide a more comfortable environment for them.

Two Looks for the Handicapped Accessible Home Bathroom

The handicapped accessible home bathroom can vary greatly depending on the severity of the disability. Here are two examples of a handicapped bathroom. The one on the left is decorative but still very use-able for a handicapped person.

The one on the right is more functional and utilitarian, but often this degree of accessibility is needed to be of use to a person with disabilities. The ease of cleaning is also often a condition that also needs to be considered.

I Have also located several sites where the above mentioned may be entitled to GRANTS! Please post a line or two of intrest and I will get those out to you.
