About the evolution of “Do It Yourself” projects; the tools and methods utilized to learn these skills; and industries to help the weekend construction warrior. We will survey methods of the past to help appreciate the tools of the present (such as Pinterest; YouTube; and HGTV); and learn how to take on a wide variety of DIY projects. The course will include weekly videos and discussions; along with in-class group activities to learn basic home improvement skills. The class will culminate with a final presentation on how this knowledge might help the students become better-informed homebuyers in the future.
