Home repair and maintenance can be intimidating to many men and women. Historically, fathers often teach their sons how to be handy but neglect to take the same amount of time to teach their daughters. Eighty-five percent of American women will, at some point in their lives, take on sole responsibility of a home. Now is the time to learn how take care of it.
This beginner's course is designed to give women the information and skills needed to handle many repair and maintenance issues around their homes and apartments of any age, including when you can do it yourself and when you need to use an outside professional.
Fee: $76 for each 4 hour class. $69 each
for two or more with one payment. |
