DIY Micro-Classes
Real tools. Real skills. Real confidence.
These hands-on classes are built for homeowners, renters, and anyone tired of watching repair videos instead of just fixing the problem.
Each session runs about 90 minutes and covers the basics you actually need — no fluff, no jargon, just the real stuff no one ever taught you.
You’ll learn how to handle common home repairs safely, use tools with confidence, and stop paying for every little fix.Every class includes tools, materials, and step-by-step guidance — all you need to bring is curiosity (and maybe a little courage).
Tool confidence 101
You finally have a place of your own. Now what happens when something breaks?
This class is for anyone who’s ever stood in a hardware store feeling clueless — or worse, bought a 172-piece tool set that still didn’t have what they actually needed.
In this hands-on mini class, you’ll get familiar with the essential tools every homeowner should own — no fluff, no gimmicks. We’ll show you what works, when to use it, and how to avoid wasting money on junk you don’t need.
You’ll handle and learn about:
Cordless drill and driver (and when not to use it)
Screwdrivers (flat, Phillips, hex — and when to use each)
Stud finder, level, and tape measure (so you can finally hang pictures straight)
Pliers, adjustable wrench, and utility knife (the unsung heroes of quick fixes)
Wire strippers and outlet tester (for when you’re ready to change a switch or outlet down the road)
We won’t be replacing, fixing or wiring anything in this class, but we’ll show you what tools you’ll need when you are — and how to walk into your local big box home improvement story with confidence and a no-nonsense shopping list.
No experience needed

Light it up or Turn it on
You flipped the switch… nothing.
The lights are out, the fan’s dead, and now you’re staring at your breaker box like it’s written in ancient runes.
This class is for anyone who’s ever felt intimidated by home electrical stuff — the kind where you know you should call someone… but wish you didn’t have to.
In this hands-on, no-fluff session, you’ll learn how to safely tackle the most common electrical fixes around the house. We’ll walk you through what tools to use, how to use them, and how to stop feeling dumb when someone says, “Did you check the breaker?”
You’ll practice on real mock-ups — not just watch someone else do it — so you leave class actually knowing how to handle these situations.
You’ll get your hands on:
Voltage testers and outlet testers (so you know something is off before you touch it)
How to change a light fixture without frying yourself
Replacing a basic switch or outlet (yes, with the wires)
Resetting a tripped breaker and understanding your panel
When to call in a pro — and how to explain the issue like you know what you’re talking about
No experience needed.

Wall Warriors (Anchors & hangers)
You eyeballed it. It’s crooked.
You hammered a nail, hit nothing, and now your picture’s sagging and your drywall’s cracked. Sound familiar?
This class is for anyone who’s ever stared at a blank wall and thought, “I should hang that shelf — but what if I screw it up?”
In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to conquer your walls with confidence. We’ll walk you through how to find studs, choose the right anchors, and mount things so they stay put — no more leaning shelves, swinging TVs, or drywall disasters.
Perfect for renters, new homeowners, or anyone tired of asking for help every time they want to hang something.
You’ll get your hands on:
Stud finders, levels, and anchor types (so you’ll know when to drill, when to tap, and when to walk away)
Mounting shelves, picture frames, and small TVs with the right anchors and hardware
Fixing mistakes like stripped holes and drywall divots (because we all mess up sometimes)

Water & Electric Emergencies for Homeowners and Renters
You hear it before you see it—drip… drip… drip.
Water’s pooling under the fridge, or maybe the toilet’s overflowing thanks to a toddler’s plastic log. The power just went out, and you’re not sure if it’s the whole house or just the kitchen.
Panic sets in. What do you do first?
This class is your calm in the chaos.
In this hands-on micro class, you’ll learn how to shut off water and electricity in an emergency fast and how to safely turn it back on once the crisis is under control.
We’ll show you:
How to locate and operate key shut-off valves behind toilets, under sinks, and near appliances
What a GFCI outlet is, where to find it, and how to reset it
When and how to check the breaker panel for a tripped circuit
How to safely slide out appliances (like dishwashers and washers) to access hidden shut-offs
What tools (if any) you may need—usually just a flashlight and your hands (we’ll provide them)
This class is a 60/40 mix of hands-on practice and demonstration, designed for anyone who’s never dealt with water or power issues on their own.
No experience? No tools? No problem.
You’ll leave knowing how to stop a small disaster before it becomes a big one—and how to walk your home with confidence, not confusion.

Homeowner Safety
You bought the house… but if the smoke alarm chirps or the power goes out, you freeze.
You’re not alone. Most folks have no idea where their main water shutoff is or what half the breakers in their panel do.
This class is for anyone who wants to stop feeling helpless when something goes wrong — and start feeling like they’re actually in charge of their home.
In this practical, hands-on session, you’ll get a crash course in the safety basics every homeowner or renter should know.
We’ll walk your through the “what, where, and why” of emergency shutoffs, fire safety, and electrical panels — all with tools and real-world examples, not just scary theory.
Whether you just moved in, have lived in your place for years, or are renting and want to feel less clueless, this class gives you the knowledge (and checklist) to step up as the first line of defense.
You’ll learn how to:
Find and label your water, gas, and power shutoffs before there’s a crisis
Test and replace smoke/CO detectors — and know which ones to buy
Read your breaker panel so you’re not flipping every switch during an outage
Spot real emergencies vs. simple fixes — and when to call for help
Build a simple “home readiness” kit so you’re not scrambling in the dark
No experience needed.

Replacing Locks & Door 101
You just moved in, lost your keys, or bought a new lock… now what?
You’re staring at your door with a screwdriver in hand, hoping YouTube will magically make you a locksmith.
This class is for anyone who’s ever tried (and failed) to swap out a deadbolt, tighten a door that won’t close right, or figure out why their doorknob spins endlessly.
In this beginner-friendly, hands-on class, we’ll walk you through how to confidently change out locks, replace doorknobs, fix latches, and get doors aligned — without stripping screws or losing your temper.
Whether you’re upgrading security, fixing a stubborn door, or just trying not to look like a maniac wrestling a hinge, this class will show you how to handle it all with the right tools and a little know-how.
You’ll learn how to:
Swap out deadbolts and doorknobs — smart locks, too
Adjust hinges and strike plates to fix doors that won’t close or latch
Understand door swing and fit so you know what to buy and how to install
Use the right screwdrivers, bits, and hand tools for clean, damage-free installs
Avoid common lock install mistakes (like upside-down keys or misaligned bolts)
No experience needed.
