Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity Kicks of Women's Home Improvement Confidence Course

2/3/2020

 
In January, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity kicked off a 12 week home improvement course designed to give women an opportunity to learn how to do various home improvement tasks in a safe, nonjudgmental environment while remodeling a Habitat for Humanity home in Iowa City. The Women's Home Improvement Confidence Course is a series of Saturday classes where participants are introduced to the challenges and obstacles faced in a real-world remodeling environment. Classes include hands-on experience with:
  • Demolishing and remodeling a kitchen
  • Major and minor drywall repair
  • Tiling and grouting a kitchen backsplash
  • Shower tiling
  • Replacing ceiling fans and light fixtures
  • Replacing interior and exterior doors and jambs
  • Trim and finish work
  • Installing various types of flooring
  • Plum, square, and level
  • Sequencing of improvements

Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity wants to thank Sandra Steil of MMS Consultants for her essential role in getting these workshops established. Sandra says, "My hope is that as women take these classes, they will develop confidence to take on other projects within their own homes." Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity plans to continue offering similar educational opportunities to the public. Stay tuned for updates on the Women's Home Improvement Confidence course and more!
