1/2 steps: Steps are being pre-built for the following projects: 122, 134, 151, 156, 203, 204. If we have pre-built them, they will be delivered prior to Rebuilding Day and your team will be removing the old steps and installing the new.
Railings: Due to the complexities of each project regarding railings, it's best if you call the Rebuilding Together office and talk with Jerry Zuniga, our Safe at Home Project Manager, about what you need. He can be reached at 578-9519 or email him at jzuniga@rebuildingtogether-sv.org.
Grab Bars: We will have your requested grab bars here at the warehouse when you come to pick up supplies. We will also have Toggler Brand Toggle Bolts if you need them. These can be used if one end of your grab bar is not going into a stud or if you are installing in tile or fiberglass. Check out this video on how these work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC1ZuxuZ2PU&feature=related
When you install a grab bar using these bolts, use a 1/2" drill bit and move it around a bit once you've made your hole because these togglebolts are slightly larger than 1/2". Be sure to use a glass/tile bit if drilling into tile. It is suggested that you use clear silicon on the back of the grab bar before screwing it into the wall for added strength.
Other Accessibility Items (such as shower seats and handheld showers): If you've asked for a toilet seat riser, we need to know whether it is the regular seat or elongated. These can also be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot.
