To
empower and prepare partner families, Habitat has established a Home
Repair Center in our warehouse where partner families gain hands-on experience
in the repair of the most common household problems.
 | Adjusting and reattaching siding |
 | Replacing roofing shingles |
 | Replacing simple electric switches |
 | Caring for plumbing (removing traps, unclogging pipes and drains, and
replacing toilet parts) |
 | Repairing holes in plaster walls |
 | Painting, touching up, and care of equipment |
Area experts teach the workshops, which emphasize the responsibilities
included in homeownership. After demonstrating the topic skill, instructors
assist new homeowners in the repair. Each person learns and demonstrates
each skill. Simple instructions and diagrams are reproduced and
distributed for each class.
