That leaves a huge opportunity for Taskers like <em>you<\/em> to be their Allen wrench-toting knight in shining armor!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We gathered the advice of some of the top Taskers who task in the Assembly category. If you enjoy puzzles, Legos, or building things, continue reading to learn the ins and outs of furniture assembly\u2014and if you\u2019re not already doing it, maybe consider trying it out!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <b>Communicate with your client<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While communicating with your client is important for every task, it\u2019s particularly important for Assembly tasks, because it allows you to learn about what you\u2019ll be assembling prior to the task. Our top Taskers recommend asking clients the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the product\u2019s name, make, and model? <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a cleared space in our home for me to assemble in?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you already have the box in the room where you want the item to stay?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy biggest tip would be communication. If I\u2019m stuck in traffic or my train has been delayed, if I feel the client\u2019s expectations are off, or I know I simply can\u2019t fulfill the task within my comfort level, then I let clients know. Transparency is key, from the second you\u2019re hired to the time the task is done. If a Tasker thinks, &#8216;If I were the client, what would I want to know?&#8217; they can\u2019t go wrong.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tr.co\/kimj\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim J.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, New York<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> IKEA Assembly tasks, which are a separate skill in the Tasker app, are scoped automatically.

Our top Taskers recommend placing a carpet, blanket, or cardboard box down underneath where you\u2019ll be assembling furniture to protect the item and your client\u2019s floor from scratches.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSave the larger pieces of cardboard packaging. You will use these to build on, and to protect the floor and the furniture pieces from being damaged.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tr.co\/seth-f--2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seth F.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, New York<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong><b>B<\/b><\/strong><b>ring the Right Tools for the Task<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting an Assembly task, our more experienced Taskers recommend ensuring you have the right tools. An Allen wrench or Hex key are obvious choices for Assembly tasks, but did you know some other tools are worth bringing along? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>stud finder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows you to locate appropriate areas on the wall should you need to secure furniture to prevent a tripping hazard. (This is also helpful when mounting pictures or shelves!) A <\/span><b>level<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensures everything is even and straight as you assemble pieces together. Our top Taskers also recommend bringing along a pair of <\/span><b>knee pads<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014this could save you from bruises and hours of pain as you assemble furniture items!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that furniture assembly is one of the top skills Taskers on Taskrabbit can use to make money? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":15010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[644937053],"tags":[644937091,644937102,644937136,644937133],"class_list":["post-15007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-assembly-tasking","tag-assembly","tag-furniture-assembly","tag-tasker","tag-tasking-fundamentals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
