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
