About this Event
Are you frustrated by having to wait for those little pesky jobs to be done in your home and garden by someone else? Do you find yourself often paying over the odds for having those annoying bits fixed? Would you like to feel more independent in this area of your life?
Worry no more! I am here to help you discover or develop your DIY in the home skills.
No previous DIY experience needed at all. Ideal for complete beginners of for those who have dabbled with bits of DIY already but would like to expand on some skills.
I would be delighted to welcome you to my friendly and welcoming one day hands on practical workshop
Learn to be independent in your home and garden whilst making some new like-minded friends in a relaxed, supportive and beautiful environment.
During this practical and hands on day of DIY you will learn:
– Hammering, drilling & fixings: drill bits, fitting rawl plugs, screws & nails
– Checking for electric wires, water and gas pipes before drilling
– Hanging a level shelf & picture
– Filling gaps & fillers
– Electrical: about safety and fuses, rewiring a plug/changing a fuse, rewiring a light fitting
– Plumbing: fixing a leaky tap, repairing a leaky water pipe, bleeding a radiator, re-pressuring a boiler
– Painting and Decorating (descriptions and discussions)
– And many more useful tips
Please don’t worry if you are a complete novice! I will start from the beginning and explain all about the tools and techniques with some invaluable tips from my own experience.
Alternatively if you have dabbled a little in the world of DIY already, but want to develop your skills, then this is the course for you. The numbers are kept small (6 to 10) to allow for one-to-one instruction during the day.
Each workshop will run from 10am to 3pm with lunch break and plenty of coffee/tea/cake in between – Mum’s delicious homemade cream scones and gorgeous cakes are becoming rather renowned among workshop attendees!
Everything you will need for the workshop will be provided and is included in the price including full detailed notes for you to take home with you.
