Default Home Improvement: Courses or Classes?

Hello all,

Does anyone know where a home owner can go to take courses or classes
for home improvement (electrical, plumbing etc) in NJ or any other
locations

I would like to learn from a professional and not the home depot guy
who doesn't even know where they keep the toilet seats in his own
store.

Some of them couldn't find a toilet seat in the bathroom.

Try calling some of your local adult ed programs, usually run through
the high schools.

In my area (Twin Cities, Minnesota), there are usually many different free
home improvement-type fairs/shows that are co-sponsored by city governments
and local businesses.

A typical show includes seminars, how-to demonstrations, and booths staffed
with professionals from various trades that are on hand to provide free
"how-to" advice.

If you have a similar type of thing in your area, I'd suggest going. In my
experience, they've proved to be a valuable source of free information and
guidance.

Check out local community colleges. Probably offer something close to
what you seek.
