Instructor Jay Bond has always liked taking things apart and has gradually learned how to reassemble them successfully. In addition to work experience in a hardware store, home improvement center, machine shop, and 10 years as a bicycle mechanic, he lived in a 1950s-era house for more than 30 years, successfully tackling a wide variety of repairs and improvements involving carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, and more. Course topics include:

• Safe use of basic tools, manual and power

• Assembling and installing things—hanging pictures, mirrors and blinds, installing a bi-fold door, replacing a door lockset

• Basic plumbing—water supply and cutoff valves, toilets, drains, installing faucets

• Basic electrical issues—circuit breakers, outlets, lamps

• Carpentry—quality repairs, reinforcements, using clamps

• Exterior, lawn and garden tools, and repairs
