About this Class

Do you ever have minor electrical or plumbing problems that you aren’t comfortable tackling because of limited experience? Are you a do-it-yourselfer who would feel more comfortable having a skilled craftsman show you how it SHOULD be done instead of watching a YouTube video or learning from the salesperson at Lowes or Home Depot? In this workshop, participants will learn through hands-on experiences how to make electrical and plumbing improvements that are safe and code compliant. Terry will help students understand when the job (fix or repair) goes beyond what a DIYer can handle and when it’s time to call in a professional. This knowledge can save a homeowner hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The workshop is divided into two days: Saturday focuses on plumbing and Sunday on electrical work. On Saturday, Terry will discuss and demonstrate ways to shut off the main water valve, stop a toilet from running, replace the inner workings of a toilet, unclog sinks and toilets, replace a toilet, fix leaky pipes, stop leaky faucets, and properly install and glue plastic pipes and how to sweat copper pipes. On Sunday, he will demystify electrical projects by teaching students about wiring, the necessary tools, and how to make connections. Students will learn about watts, amps and breakers as well as other wiring systems like cables, boxes, switches and outlets. Most importantly, Terry will teach participants how to identify the three types of conductors (wires) in your home: hot, neutral, and ground wires. Wives, take this class. Wives, make your husbands take this class. Terry is by far the best in the business.
