Practical Hands On Education
DIY Electrical Confidence
The instructors have decades of experience with electrical installations. One is a career licensed electrician who services the Northeastern Illinois region. The other is the owner of a home remodeling business that is very active in Lake County and Cook County. Both are happy to share their knowledge with students interested in DIY. They put their experience into practice at TLLC and get satisfaction from seeing users gain confidence and use their newfound knowledge to complete home repairs on their own.
- When: Wednesday, December 3, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
- What: Demystify home electrical work! Gain the confidence to safely handle minor electrical repairs and upgrades around your house. (No, you won't be rewiring the whole neighborhood, but you'll feel in charge.)
Hand Tools
Learn from our TLLC volunteers. One instructor is a seasoned home remodeling expert and business owner that is very active in Lake County and Cook County. The other instructor has done extensive remodeling on her own 100-year-old house. She has gained knowledge working with tools borrowed from the Tool Library, and has leaned on our staff of experts to understand the methods and materials required.
- When: Wednesday, December 17, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
- What: This intensive, hands-on workshop is designed to turn tool-aversion into DIY confidence. We skip the complexity and focus on the core skills needed for essential household maintenance, ensuring you feel competent and safe handling your tools.
