Basic Home repair/maintenance
by Jennifer Hassell 25 Oct '18

Has anyone done a hands on workshop covering how to handle some basic household needs? Draining your outdoor faucets for winter, cleaning gutters, hanging pictures, changing an air filter on a furnace.... I'd like to reach out to a local business if possible but more importantly I would like someone who can comfortably present and teach. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
