Abstract: A tile leveling device and a method for using the same is shown and described. The method for using a tile leveling device begins by placing at least one tile leveling device beneath a tile to be laid. In one instance the at least one tile leveling device is comprised of a malleable metal material. After the at least one tile leveling device is placed a tile is then set on top of the at least one tile leveling device. The tile is then leveled. When the tile is placed the tile leveling device is left under the tile and there is no need to remove the device.

Abstract: A spackle pall holder for holding a spackle pan having a closed bottom end, an open top end, and inclined peripheral walls. The holder is an open top holder having inclined peripheral walls, a bottom wall, and a clip assembly located on one of the inclined peripheral walls of the holder adjacent to the open top. The clip assembly enables the holder to be detachably attached to the belt of a person. The clip should be large enough and of suitable construction to ensure that the weight of the holder, the pan, and the spackle compound contained within the pan are adequately secured to the belt. The holder has a shape approximating that of the spackle pan to provide a frictional engagement therebetween. Alteratively, the inclination of the peripheral walls of the spackle pan is greater than that of the side walls of the holder to substantially eliminate friction therebetween.
