The Details
Home repair, demystified
From patching drywall to keeping your water heater happy to 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.
Hands-on, not just hands-waving
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 drywall dust on your sleeves.
The right ideas and tools for the job
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.

How should I dress?
Wear sturdy clothes, closed-toed shoes, and tie your hair back if it’s long.
What should I bring?
Bring ear and eye protection, work gloves, something to take notes with, and a chair.
Are minors allowed?
Teens 16 and older are welcome with an accompanying adult. Everyone must have their own ticket!
Will food be provided?
