Think home repairs are only for pros or people with tool belts passed down from Grandpa? Think again. This beginner-friendly workshop teaches you practical, confidence-boosting skills to fix the everyday stuff that breaks, leaks, or just plain bugs you. Over two sessions, you’ll get your hands dirty learning drywall repair, caulking, basic plumbing and electric, tile fixes, and how to install things like shelves without drama. No handyman required—because it’s you now.
When: We’ll schedule this workshop again when we get at least 3 pre-registrants.
Where: TBD
Price: $225 + $25 for supplies
Pre-registration is free; we only charge your credit card when we're ready to schedule (and you say ok). When 3 people pre-register, we'll set up the next workshop with your input on dates!
From patching drywall to stopping sneaky leaks and rewiring that one stubborn outlet, this workshop will walk you through key home maintenance skills. You’ll leave with a stronger toolbox—literally and figuratively.
We don’t just talk about fixing things—we do it. You’ll practice real techniques with real tools under the guidance of someone who’s done it all (and taught it all, too). No experience necessary—just a willingness to learn and maybe a little sawdust on your sleeves.
You’ll gain the know-how to identify what you can tackle yourself and what’s worth calling in backup for. Understand the right tools for each job, and start building your own personal fix-it toolkit.
