Abstract: A portable canopy assembly for providing shade for outdoor events includes a mat that is foldable along pre-determined fold lines such that the mat forms a box. A plurality of stakes is each extendable through the mat at predetermined locations when the mat is folded to define the box. In this way each of the stakes penetrates a support surface for inhibiting the box from sliding on the support surface. A frame is provided and the frame is positionable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. The frame defines a half shell when the frame is positioned in the deployed position and the frame is positionable around the box when the mat is folded to define the box. A canopy is coupled to the frame such that the canopy extends partially over the box when the frame is positioned in the deployed for shading the box.

Abstract: A debris collecting chute device facilitates the collection of debris while repairing sheetrock on a ceiling surface. The device includes a tube having an open top end, an open bottom end and a perimeter surface coupled to and extending between the open top end and the open bottom end. The open bottom end of the tube is configured for positioning over an open top of a waste receptacle. An attachment member has an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface of the attachment member is coupled to the open top end of the tube. The lower surface of the attachment member is configured for attaching to a ceiling surface surrounding a damaged area of the ceiling surface.
