A Tip From The Pros You Can Use At Home
Next time you mount something to your wall with keyhole slots, use this hack to do it precisely and without hassle! Lay a piece of paper over the keyhole slots, and gently shade over them with a pencil. This will create a template for your screw placements. You can then level your template on the wall where you plan to hang your piece, and position your screws to perfectly fit the slots.
Children’s Minnesota Virtual Joy Drive
This holiday season, on behalf of our customers and partners within the construction industry, Crawford Merz has made a donation to Children’s Minnesota’s Virtual Joy Drive to help spread joy and cheer to the patients of their hospitals and clinics! In addition, we will continue to match any donations made on our fundraising page (up to $1,000) to support this wonderful cause.
By raising money, we will allow Children’s Minnesota’s Child Life Team to supply toys and activities that match their patient’s ages, needs and interests. These items help cheer up patients after a difficult day or procedure, celebrate holidays year-round, and other milestones like birthdays and end of treatment parties.
Thank you to everyone who helps us move closer toward our goal – every donation counts!
