"Well 4th class finished for the BYOH Be Your Own Handyman. I am now prepared to maintain and repair my home. Brian was a great instructor and made sure we all were comfortable with the techniques he was showing. He took the time to answer all our questions even our extra ones not related to the current project. Great class for every homeowner to save money on many home repairs that could be costly to call Someone in to do."
