Disposing Debris The Right Way 101

Learn how to get cash for your trash! along with other money saving ways to reduce renovation waste.


Whether you're updating a room or gutting the entire house, chances are you have piles of junk taking up valuable Real Estate. No problem finding a ton of takers for the claw foot tub, but what about the stuff you can't unload on Craigslist or Ebay? You've got garbage, but you're not alone. Lets take a look at some ways you can do the right "Green" thing with what would be considered trash.

Carperting:

In the words of National Association of Home Builders, " The bulkiness of carpet and padding waste can make disposal VERY costly. Today's Manufactuers are making an effort to help give you a push in the recyclying way instead.

• If your carpet is in good shape without stains or big worn patches, donate it.

• If you have damaged carpet or worn carpet or area rugs, click on a map at the Central America Recovery Effort website (carpetrecovery.org/waste.php) where you can find a place to drop it off for recycling.

• IF YOU MUST DUMP IT... ask the sanitation department when & how to put the rugs out on the curb.

White Goods

These Big, bulky items--- your dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer, Fridge, & Freezer--can push a job-site container to overflowing without even trying.

• If you have a Vintage stove or refigirator, sell it to a dealer or restorer such as AntiqueAppliances.com

• If your appliances still work and are somewhat on the new side, ask a second hand store if they will pick them up such places like the Salvation Army or Goodwill will give you a tax reciept in which you can use as a write off at the years end.

• If you have no other takers and can use a few bucks, consider selling your old appliances for scrap. Dealers normally pay aout 10 cents per pound which can equal $30-$80 per appliance. However, Please note they WILL NOT accept appliances which contain coolaint.

Lumber & Scrapwood
It may grow on trees--- but all the more reason to recycle if you can.

• If you have unused tongue and groove flooring, take it to a dealer or resale store. These places may also want large pieces of undamaged lumber and wooden doors. Even our company EZ Furniture Assembly & Interior Innovations will take old undamaged doors, locks,handles, as well as molding and furniture which we refinish and resell and donate the proceeds to local charities. You can contact us at www.ezfurnitureassembly.com

• If you have lumber scraps or left over pieces of raw lumber, contact a wood waste dealer for recycling purposeing. You may have to pay a small fee, but it would be far less than what it would cost at a disposal agency.

• Also place an ad on Craigslist for free scrapwood now that winter is here many people could probaly welcome it if they still have wood burning stoves and heaters.

This is all we have today but we will be posting more GREEN recycling tips throughout the next few weeks so keep checking back because YOU do make a difference!

Please contact us at www.ezfurnitureassembly.com with any questions or ideas on how and what else we can recycle.

How to Feng Shui a New York City Apartment, Loft or Condo

Feng Shui Manhattan Apartment

We look at the front hall and bedroom of a Manhattan apartment that was designed with the ancient Asian art of Feng Shui.

Using the principles of Feng Shui, a designer pays close attention to the flow of energy, or Ch’i, through the rooms of a home or office. Ch'i meaning "flow". A thorough Feng Shui design takes into account everything from the placement of the mirrors to the color of the walls, all with the goal of creating energetic harmony and balance.

This apartment, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is owned by Kathleen and John Ullmann, and was designed with the help of R.D. Chin, a leading Feng Shui master based in New York City.



This room offers a good example of how versatile Feng Shui is; you don’t have to have an Asian-looking interior in order for the principles of Feng Shui to go some distance towards creating a home that functions well and makes the inhabitants simply feel good in their environment.

Here is a great, better yet the top website for finding ALL your Oriental & Feng Shui products




Looking at the living room, we see that not only does the room work in terms of Feng Shui, but it also adheres nicely to the Sheffield Guidelines of Interior Design: function, mood, and harmony. The function here is just what one usually looks for in a living room: to provide a public area of the home for entertaining guests, while also allowing for private activities such as reading.

In this living room, the furniture is grouped to allow for comfortable conversation among family members or guests. Two people could snuggle in to the corners of the sofa for an intimate conversation, or guests could spread out among the sofa and chairs to form a few different conversational groups, and everyone would have access to that wide coffee table for drinks and snacks. The oversized corner chair makes an ideal reading nook, with a side table with a lamp that provides good reading light.

One of the functions of this particular living room is to hold the collection of Russian gardener figurines. Before the home was re-decorated, Ullmann says, the figures, mostly white, didn’t show up against the white wall behind them. In fact, one reason Kathleen Ullmann wanted to use Feng Shui in re-doing her home was that the collections in the living room made the room like a museum. “It was dead energetically,” she said.

Now, the collection is lit by the recessed lights, and the bright yellow wall sets off the figurines, making them seem to come to life.

"It has helped my husband to remember the thrill when he started to receive these figurines from his father; he takes pride in the collection being something from his family home in England, and then in being successful enough to buy them on his own,” she said.

The redesign has shown the Ullmanns that the collection is “no longer just about acquisition,” but now can serve as a reminder of their accomplishments and positive life memories. In Feng Shui, each section of a home represents a different aspect of life, and this particular wall represents creativity, so the placement of the collection there encourages the creativity to flow into the home and therefore into the lives of the inhabitants.

“My husband, who is timid and conservative, is proud of the room, and I find he’s more likely to bring guests up and entertain in the living room. The Ch’i, the life, has come back in,” she said.

John Ullmann likes the home’s new look too. “He’s so proud he invites people over to see it,” Kathleen Ullmann said, something he didn’t do so much of before.

The color of the walls in this room was no accident. Ullmann says she elected to use the yellow because she “wanted any wall the sunshine kissed to be yellow,” and she wanted the color of the sky on walls that looked out of the apartment. “I wanted to feel the sense that I wasn’t blocked by walls, but it was an immersion in the sea and sky,” she said.

Because Feng Shui focuses on the movement of energy throughout the rooms, it’s important to consider all the entrances to a given room. This is the reason we’re showing you two slightly different views of this living room. In the first photograph, you’ll note that you can see a doorway to the left, which leads into the bedroom. This portal is open, allowing the energy to move through the living room and then into the bedroom, which is set far back from the entrance to the home, giving a more intimate and private feeling to it.

With the third Guideline, harmony, we evaluate whether everything comes together in the room, and here it does. Achieving harmony in a room’s décor is one of the main goals of Feng Shui, and here we see that the whole room works together. Harmony doesn’t mean that every piece of furniture must match every other piece in terms of period or style or fabric; it just means all the disparate pieces must work together.

In looking at this living room, we can see that the principles of good design and Feng Shui are not far apart from one another: achieving balance and harmony and making sure a room functions well are the goals of any designer’s project. For Kathleen Ullmann, Feng Shui has made what was once “dead space” come to life: “It is absolutely different. Every time I come in, I get happy because I feel that the sun is dancing and kissing my walls and saying Kathleen, look what I did with this wall over here,” she says. “It’s an interaction with the room.”

Can I use regular paint to refinish my Kitchen Cabinets????

If the cabinets are made of real wood, frequently found in older homes, they can be painted with normal paint. They need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove any grease that has accumulated from cooking. Kitchen surfaces collect a thin film of grease and dirt over time. If the cabinets have a gloss or semi-gloss finish, the old surface should be lightly sanded before repainting to help the paint adhere better. Use a gloss or semi-gloss latex paint for kitchens and bathrooms. These paints are intended for use in areas with higher than normal humidity levels and are more resistant to wear.

It is a very good idea to remove the shelves, doors, mounting hardware, and the door handles before you begin to work on the cabinets. The cabinets are much easier to work on if you don�t have to mask the hardware and paint around it. This takes some time at the start and finish, but the cleaning, sanding, and painting go much faster and more easily. The final job will look better, by eliminating those brush marks around the door handles and hinges

The cabinets in many modern kitchens have a simulated wood finish or a non-painted coloured finish. These are fabricated of a synthetic material, such as melamine. The finish can be painted over with a normal gloss or semi-gloss latex paint for kitchens and bathrooms. It should be prepared as described for wood cabinets, with particular attention to sanding. The existing surface should be sanded until it is evenly dull everywhere. If the paint does not fully adhere to the old finish, it can chip, flake, or peel off quite easily. If the new finish becomes damaged in this fashion, you will need to sand the area around the defect to feather the edges of the paint around the defect. This will help prevent a visible ridge when the surface is repainted. A poor finish will look terrible once it begins to chip.

It is a very good idea to apply a coat of melamine primer, or other primer intended for use on synthetic surfaces, before you apply the final finish. These primers are designed to adhere to the existing finish more effectively than regular paints and they provide a good surface for the new paint to adhere to. If the cabinets had a dark finish, two coats of primer may be required. The use of a suitable primer is highly recommended.

Learn Professionally Tiling in Just a Few Hours!!

I want you to KNOW that if you are Remodeling your Kitchen or Bathroom where you more than likely want to add tile this is by far the BEST INVESTMENT you will make! We have a Professional Mason with over 20+ years experience and was AMAZED at how detailed these instructional videos are and he explained that it took him a 4 year apprenticeship you learn what is on these videos. I actually ordered this program and actually have a technician who NEVER did any masonry and who has just completed his first tile job on a countertop after watching the videos. The average mason will charge you anywhere from $16.00 to $32.00 per linear foot so you do the math.

Here is what our client had to say about the countertop our technician completed for his first time.

" The counter came out absolutely amazing! I wouldn't, and still don't believe the tiler never did this before "

"WHO ELSE Wants To Learn To Lay Tile In Less Than 6 Days By Taking Advantage Of My Easy To Follow Do-It-Yourself Tile Videos...?" If you answered YES click below to watch how you can! From the desk of: Randy Davis Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008. Dear future tile setter, I have laid ceramic tile my entire life. Well, roughly a little more than 20 years. So you should know you are getting advice from a professional tile setter. Not BS from some infomercial "guru". Now, I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that everyone who watches my videos will be able to grab their tools, jump in the nearest pick-up truck they can find, and start making a living setting tile. That's ridiculous. As with anything, becoming a professional takes practice. Besides, most people are to lazy to turn this into a full-time profession. But, assuming you have an average IQ of a twelve year old and the motivation it takes to pick up a few tools and watch me on TV for two hours you can do this and do a damn good job too! However, just so that you don't think I'm some weirdo who is just trying to take you for a ride I want to let you in on a few facts.. 5 Reasons Why You Should Believe My Videos Are Everything I Say And More... 1. I have worked in the ceramic tile industry for over 20 years. I've done just about every kind of tile job you can think of many times over. Here's just a small sample of the companies I’ve worked with and helped… University Of Southern Mississippi Pier One Imports Applebee's Restaurant Wards Restaurants Burger King Moore's Funeral Home Barnhills The Pain Center Subway Wal Oil Gas Stations Anderson's Paint B And S Appliances Engle Construction West Lake Manor Retirement Home Forrest General Hospital William Carey College Seashore Retirement Note: If you prefer individuals that you can call personally and check their references call me and I will be happy to give you a list of numbers. However, I can't do it on this web page because it gets thousands of hits a month and I do not want my clients to kill me. 2. Also, I'm not just a "tile setter". I'm also a certified teacher. Anyone can "show" someone how to lay tile but can they teach them? Well, look at my credentials. I spent five years of my life working for the State Rehabilitation Center of Mississippi where I taught troubled teens and disabled veterans how to master many lines of work. Have you ever read a book or watched a how-to video and asked yourself, "Huh? What the heck did I just learn" as if someone filled your head with hot air? Well, you will not get that from my videos. I'm very precise and I teach it in a way that you can understand and pick up what I'm saying fairly quickly. I am trained to do so. 3. I am a real person! I do not hide behind a P.O. Box. My home phone is listed at the end of this page. So if my package is not everything I say and more you can call me and cuss me to the moon. And you can do it in front of my wife! 4. While most people will only guarantee their product for 30 days I give you 8 weeks! It's simple. If my package isn't everything I say simply request a refund. No questions asked. I don't care if you break my CD in half, mix it in with two tons of manure and use it to fertilize your plants! I am still going to give you your money back! Period! Try getting a guarantee like that from Joe Schmoe's info package. Bottom line: You will not find this being sold from some guy on an infomercial that knows about as much about setting tile as a monkey knows how to ride a bike! This is a real educational course that comes with years of pride and experience. 5. No waiting for your mail to arrive! After your order you are sent directly to a private download page where you can download all my videos straight from your home computer. So you can literally be watching my videos within minutes of placing your order! Burn it to a dvd if you like or simply watch it on your monitor! Note: Orders will also be sent to your home. So you get both access to our private site where you can download the videos and our entire package by snail mail! Never downloaded videos online? I'll show you. It is literally as easy as clicking a few buttons. If you like I have no problem mailing them to you. However, I seriously doubt you'll find that necessary once you see how easy it is. So how much money and time will these videos save you...? Here's Proof! Let's assume you do have a small job that doesn't require all the information in my package. Can you afford to make one simple mistake? Let's take Caesar for example: "That worked perfect!" (in audio) Caesar New Orleans Click play to listen Hey Randy my name is Caesar and I'm calling from New Orleans. I went ahead and downloaded that video on how to cut a circle out of a tile and that worked perfect! Thanks for the tip and I hope you make some more videos. Caesar had a simple problem. He simply needed to know how to cut a circle out of a tile. It only took me about 3 minutes in one of my videos to show him how to do it. How much do you think that one simple problem would have cost him if he didn't watch the video? We're not even going to take into account the time and headache it could have cost him. Let's simply talk brass tax. On average a piece of tile costs about two dollars. Even though Caesar is trying to do this all by himself, we are going to be modest and assume Caesar is a total genius with an IQ of 180 (his mom must be very proud) and he only breaks 10 tiles while trying to make a circle. Money saved: $10.00 × 2 = $20.00 That's 20 bucks for one simple problem! Aren't you glad Caeser got my package? "After watching the video I figured it out in a heartbeat!" (in audio) Jonathan Brewer Tennessee Click play to listen Hi, this is Jonathan Brewer. I'm calling from Tennessee. I ordered Randy Davis's videos from the Internet. I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed it wasn't going to be what I needed. But, I ended up watching the videos. One of my problem areas was what to do around the toilet in the bathroom. After watching the video I figured it out in a heartbeat. He did a real good job explaining it. I was just calling him to let him know I appreciate it and thanks again. Oh, the bathroom toilet. That can be a nasty job. However, once again we will try to be modest (Remember we're pretending Jonathan did not get my package). Obviously there is a number of things that could go wrong with this job such as flooding, or even severe plumbing damage. However, let's assume the best case scenario for Jonathan. Besides, he seems like a pretty smart guy. I bet he was a straight A student in high school! Perhaps he only causes a small leak that is quickly repaired resulting in the staining of his grout stretching only 6 feet of his tile job. Six feet = about 28 pieces of tile he's going to have to chip up in order to replace the grout (we're not even going to count the cost of the new tile he's going to have to buy). Money Saved: The average piece of tile = two dollars. 28 × 2 = $56.00 Wow $56.00 for a simple leak! I don't know what your project is or how big. But I do know any job worth doing is worth doing right. Furthermore, I sincerely believe you will find my videos to be a household staple for years to come. Also, nothing is going to compare to the money you are going to save every time you run into a simple problem. Here Is Exactly What You Will Discover... Making Cuts On The Cutter Board. As with anything, there is a right way and a wrong way. Warning: Do this the wrong way and it could cost you a lot of money in broken tile. I'm going to show you the correct way to cut your tile to ensure you get the slice you need. Don't worry it is as easy as doing what I do! Making Cuts With The Tile Saw. See it in action! You may not even need the saw but just in case you do I show you exactly how to use it safely and effectively. Watch Cutting Around Faucets, Jams And Wall Plugs. Sound difficult? Once you watch this video, not only will you be able to perform this task effectively but with speed. You will not believe just how easy it can be! Using The Tile Nippers (When And How). This is another critical task that could cost you big if not done correctly. However, once you master this bad boy you can literally cut the time of your tile job in half! Sizing The Joints. The size of your joints can mean the difference between a professional tile job and an amateur job gone bad. However, using this one short cut I'm going to show you, you could not only save the entire tile job but it is so effective that...your friends will swear you've been doing this for years! Installing Backer-Board. How hard can it be? A hammer and a few nails and you're ready to go right? Not so fast. First, let's go over the do's and dont's. The last thing I want you to do is end up ripping it up and starting over. Watch as I walk you through the correct process. See How To Lay It Out. Don't go by your instincts alone. Watch my video as we get this down to a simple science using up-to-date short cuts that even many seasoned tile setters don't know about! How To Mix And Spread Thin-Set. Without proper instructions you could waste a lot of thin-set (and money) trying to figure this one out! You don't want to mix your thin-set to thin and you sure as heck don't want lumps in it! I will show you exactly how to mix it to a perfect stir. It is easy as one, two, three! How To Grout Ceramic Tile! It's really simple once you learn it. Let's make sure you get it right the first time by leaving no pinholes in your grout (trust me they are ugly). I'm also going to show you the easiest way to clean it so you don't end up with smudges covering your beautiful tile job! These are just a few of the topics I cover in my videos. Let me break it down. You will receive... Videos 1-2 The Basics How to install floor tile Installing backer-board Make cuts using the cutter board Using the saw (just incase) Installing decos Laying the tile out correctly Using spacers Sizing the joints Using the tile nippers Dressing the joints Cutting around faucets, jams , wall plugs , and more Video 3 How to Mix and Spread Thin-Set! Including... Measuring and thickness Why gray or white Avoiding lumps Using the correct tools How to correctly spread Video 4 How to Grout Ceramic Tile! Including... Measuring and thickness Choosing the right color Spreading of grout How to get it clean the first time Mixing the grout Grouting with epoxy You could always try setting tile without the help of my videos. But is it worth the risk...? Warning: These Mistakes Could Cost You A Fortune! How much money do you think you could save simply by avoiding just one of these costly mistakes? Let's do a rough estimate... Mistake Example #1 Laying out floor tile incorrectly: of course this one problem alone could cost the entire job. However since we're trying to make a point, let's assume the best case scenario. So, your job is off course causing a small curve in your floor. Nothing a small grinder can't fix. We will even take it a step further and assume the curve only stretched out 6 feet resulting in only 12 ruined tiles and a hand full of grout. $12.00 Mistake Example #2 Breaking or chipping more than 20 tiles: count yourself lucky if you don't have any knowledge about cutting tile and you only break or chip 20 pieces = $18.00 Mistake Example #3 Ruining only one good bag of mortar: once again we're assuming the average newbie is very lucky = $12.00 Mistake Example #4 Ruining only half a bag of grout: you would be surprised at how easy this could happen simply by not following a few simple instructions = $11.00 Mistake Example #5 Not correctly spacing your tile: depending on how many tile you misplace this one mistake could really add up. But let's just say you only misplace about 20 tiles = $18.00 Mistake Example #6 Using random size tile: it happens all the time. You think you're getting a good deal on your tile, pop your line, make your cuts, then before you know it you notice the tile you spent your hard earned money on is all different shapes and sizes. How did this happen? Let's assume that this is just a glitch (very unlikely) and you only come across 17 odd shaped tiles. Wasted tiles = $16.00 Mistake Example #7 Not cleaning the grout correctly: you may not even notice the mess until the next day. One minute you have a nicely done grout job and the next minute you notice smudges all over your beautiful tile! Hiring someone to clean this mess could cost a fortune. However, let's be modest and assume all it needs is a good buffing. Cost to rent buffer = $40.00 Mistake Example #8 Re-assembling pipes, toilet or sink incorrectly: obviously there is a number of things that could go wrong when making this mistake such as flooding, or even severe plumbing damage. However, let's just assume the best case scenario. Perhaps you only cause a small leak that is quickly repaired resulting in the staining of your grout stretching only 3 feet of your tile job. Three feet = about 14 pieces of tile = $28.00 Mistake Example #9 Incorrectly grouting with epoxy: this could cause a real problem with your grout not setting up properly. However, once again, we're going to be fairly modest and assume you were only grouting a small area resulting in a loss of only half a bag of epoxy. = $19.00 Mistake Example #10 Not properly preparing the surface: once again, this is something that could cost the entire job. However, for the sake of proving a point we will assume the best case scenario. Let's assume there were no problems with the actual "surface" itself. Although, it wasn't properly cleaned resulting in loose tiles. Furthermore, we will assume this was a fairly small tile job resulting in the following losses: half a bag of grout, only 5 chipped tiles and half a bag of thin-set. Modest estimate = $22.00 Note: Those are just a few of the small mistakes people make. Much bigger ones could cost the entire job. However, I think you get the picture. Join now and save BIG.

I know I could charge a fortune for this information considering the money you'll be saving (not to mention you won't find anything like this anywhere else). However, my goal is to make my package affordable to everyone and not just some tile setter that wants to make a quick buck using my strategies. So, how much would you expect to pay for these killer shortcuts? $300.00? $150.00? Well, even if I sold it for $150.00 it would be a steal considering how much it would cost to hire someone. However, I'd like to go overboard a little... *** WAIT! *** NEW! For those who act by Saturday, September 27, 2008. This is absolutely crazy. Believe me when I say I will go up on this price soon. It could be as early as tomorrow. However, I just launched this course and I need more testimonials. So, if you promise to email me your experience with my videos (good or bad) then here is the killer deal I have to offer you today. If you order now you will receive this full package at the ridiculous price of only $27.95! As anyone with two brain cells can tell I'm practically giving this masterpiece away. I repeat this is a limited time offer. If you think this is nothing more than a sales pitch then you're wrong. Feel free to check back as often as you like because I will be going up on the price. You can count on it. I didn't put my blood, sweat and tears into this project for nothing. If you're waiting for the right opportunity to order then the time is now. Also, don't forget my rock solid guarantee! There's nothing to lose and time and money to save! Two Month Unconditional Money-Back GUARANTEE!

Furthermore, on top of all that, I have given you my rock solid guarantee that is good for eight weeks. How could you not order my package? You wouldn't attempt to repair a car without the proper tools would you? Neither would you attempt to build a house without first designing a blueprint. Do you honestly feel doing this tile job without my videos is the right decision? I can't make you order my package, all I can do is recommend it. However... I will leave you with one final thought: Over the years I've employed several different tile helpers to assist me with my jobs. It was never hard to teach them simple things like grouting, laying tile, cutting, etc. However, there is one thing I found myself repeating several times over... "Do a perfect job," I would say, "because, if you do a perfect job then you will only make a few mistakes. That comes with being human. However, do anything less than perfect and people will notice." There is no doubt about it. Millions of people all over the world will go about their tile jobs without knowing about these videos. Some will waste hundreds if not thousands hiring a tile setter to do the job for them. Some will try it themselves without any professional advice at all and it will cost them a fortune in losses. I don't want that to be you. I want you to do a perfect job! Why leave one stone unturned? Let's do a perfect job! Let's do it together! May every tile you lay be as beautiful as the home you live in. Sincerely, I want to take advantage of this special offer today and receive Tile Made Easy.™ I understand the members area is full of goodies and by ordering today I will have full access to all the videos plus bonuses. I also understand I have eight weeks to request a refund if I am not 100% satisfied and if your private site is not everything you claim I will do just that!
