CXLD - Home Repair Essentials

About this event

This is a paid Adult School class.

Learn the fundamentals of home repair in this practical, hands-on workshop taught by Robert Haas, instructor of the popular Woodworking 101 and Advanced Woodworking classes. Held at Montclair High School, this course gives participants a behind-the-walls look at how common home features are built and maintained.

During the class, instructor Rob Haas will construct two demonstration walls that include doors and a window, showing how these elements are installed and how typical wall structures are assembled. Participants will also learn how traditional double-hung windows operate and how they can be repaired, including basic glass pane replacement.

The workshop will also introduce the basics of residential wiring, demonstrating how outlets and lighting are installed and connected. Throughout the session, Robert will answer questions and offer guidance on a wide range of home repair topics.

Whether you're a homeowner looking to handle basic repairs yourself or simply curious about how things in your home work, this class provides practical knowledge you can use right away.
