Drywall Installation & Repair

Where
Community Room

How did your last drywall project go?  

If it was a bit of a struggle or didn’t turn out as well as you hoped…you should join us for this class!  

Techniques and strategies make a big difference…sometimes it’s having the right tools…and sometimes it’s knowing what products work best in each situation. 

Let’s cover the basics and all become better drywallers, because chances are, if you own a home…you will have to do drywall work at some point.  

This program is sponsored by MG&E.
