Students will gain a basic understanding of carpentry, electrical, and plumbing systems of the average house. Paul will discuss topics and terminology that relate to old and new residential construction.

Each week there will be lecture plus a class project where students will use hand and power tools. The project will start with building a small wall. Students will learn how to measure, cut, layout, and join wooden studs. In the electrical class students will install an electrical circuit through the studs and a receptacle, wall switch, and light fixture. The final class project covers learning to finish the wall with drywall, tape, and joint compound/spackle.

The key aspect of the class is that students have a start in making their own home repairs or improve their current skills. Students will also be able to make knowledgeable decisions when it is time to hire a contractor.
