An automated drywalling system network that including one or more automated drywalling systems that each has a robotic arm. The automated drywalling system network can also include a computational planner that generates instructions for the one or more automated drywalling systems to perform two or more drywalling tasks associated with a target wall assembly. The two or more drywalling tasks can include a hanging task that includes hanging pieces of drywall on studs of the target wall assembly; a mudding task that includes applying joint compound to pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; a sanding task that includes sanding joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; and a painting task that includes painting sanded the joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly.

A tool for supporting tiles on a wall being applied to the wall while drying between two countertops. The tile support device includes an elongated body and two longer side pieces that can balance on each countertop. The tile support device includes a ledge or ridge that couples to an angled surface or sloped surface. The tile support device can be positioned beneath a last level or row of drying tiles without having to fasten the tool to a wall surface or other surface therefore preventing damage to the wall surface or other surface from fasteners. The tile support device can be easily positioned and removed from beneath the last level or row of drying tiles that are drying on the wall.

A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

A siding panel includes a hanger section adjacent to an upper edge and a lower locking section adjacent to a lower edge. When installed, the lower locking section of an upper siding panel partially overlaps, extends into, and interlocks with a hanger section of a lower siding panel in an interference fit.

This invention refers to a one-piece ceramic-tile levelling system comprised of a base from which a longitudinally partially-threaded stem rises perpendicular to the flat surface of the base. The device also consists of a torque hood composed of a partially-threaded cylindrical orifice, to the walls of which said stem is attached in an arrangement concentric to said orifice by means of frangible connections. The stem thread and the torque hood thread are complementary to one another so that when the frangible connections are broken, the torque hood is screwed onto the stem in such a way that a face of the torque hood parallel to the flat surface of the base closes in on the same, levelling the two adjacent tiles as it does so.

The device comprises a combination of an inflatable air cushion member of a flexible but non-stretchable air tight sheet material and a support block. The inflatable air cushion member is formed as a bag unit comprising opposite layers of said sheet material provided face to face and joined along an edge area to form a double layer edge.
