Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity is proud to offer a new learning experience for women in the Johnson County area: The Women's Home Improvement Confidence Course. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to do various home improvement tasks in a safe, nonjudgmental environment as we remodel an Iowa City home. This series of Saturday classes will introduce you to the challenges and obstacles you will face in a real-world remodeling environment. This is an à la carte course, so you can attend the Saturdays that fit in with your schedule and what you would like to learn. You will get hands-on experience with:
Demolishing and remodeling a kitchen
Major and minor drywall repair
Tiling and grouting a kitchen backsplash
Shower tiling
Replacing ceiling fans and light fixtures
Replacing interior and exterior doors and jambs
Trim and finish work
Installing various types of flooring
Plum, square, and level
Sequencing of improvements--quite possibly the most important aspect of any remodel
And much more!
The series cost is $250 and is composed of 11 Saturdays beginning January 11th and ending March 21st. Each work day will run from 8am to 5pm with a one-hour break for lunch from 12pm to 1pm. Once an individual is registered, they will receive an email with the password necessary to sign up for individual classes, as well as general course information.
