#1    There is a greater chance that your husband’s fantasy football team will win than him replacing that bedroom light fixture.

#2   When your friend asks to borrow a screw driver and you think she’s talking about the drink with orange juice and vodka.

#3     You stopped using your sprinkler system because your neighbors began inviting their friends over to watch the geyser in your yard.

#4   You think that fixing your dry wall involves finding a picture big enough to cover the hole in it.

#5     You recently purchased a small fountain to disguise the sound of dripping coming from your bathroom.

Workshop for Women is a woman-owned small business that offers an inviting environment for women to gain home improvement skills. With no more than 6 students per class, there is plenty of personalized attention and instruction. These courses address the needs of women who often have little or no experience with basic skills required for many home improvement tasks. Courses offered include power tool operation, dry wall repair, basic electrical and plumbing skills.
 
If you’re overwhelmed trying to determine what class to take first, consider Workshop for Women’s ‘Become Your Own Handywoman’ series. There are two modules in this series, Basic Handywoman and Advanced Handywoman, which encompass a group of classes designed to increase your overall home maintenance efficiency.
 
During the fall and spring, Workshop for Women also offers a Sprinkler System Repair and Maintenance course. This course teaches the basics of troubleshooting your sprinkler system. More importantly for this time of year, you’ll learn the proper way to shut down your system in order to prevent freezing and breaking of your pipes and components.
 
To see what classes are being offered or to sign up for a course, go to www.workshopforwomen.com or call 303-284-6354.
