In this workshop, you will get practical information about the parts of a cabinet, different kinds of cabinets, and what is a bet fit for your project.
July 17 – Plumbing
Free
1-3 p.m.
Whether it is a unique vintage faucet or a brand new model, plumbing fixtures and projects can be daunting for any homeowner. This workshop will help participants shop for fixtures, understand code requirements, and replace parts. The Environmental Coalition of South Seattle will join to talk about conservation and environmental responsibility.
Normally, Second Use does not accept aluminum windows, as they don’t typically sell well. However, for the weekend of May 14 and 15 at Second Use (7953 2nd Ave. S.), we will accept salvaged aluminum windows for recycling. They must be aluminum, and they must be in tact (no shattered glass). We, in turn, will pass them along to GC Recycle. The company says it’s able to recycle 100 percent of the glass, aluminum frames and space bars. The service is free, but Second Use will accept small donations to defer the cost of the collection. For more information, contact elena@seconduse.com.

Installing windows can be a tricky task for beginners. However, a few dos and don’ts can make the job high-quality and efficient. Learn how to both remove a window and install a new one. In the workshop, you will also learn about the different parts of a window and how the parts function together. The West Seattle Tool Library will join to inform you about tool sharing—a unique way to be green and save money.
