Free class is among HRRC's February courses

A class at HRRC.

The Home Repair Resource Center (HRRC) will hold several workshops this month, beginning with a session on concrete countertops on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Participants in that workshop will learn the ins and outs of using concrete in countertops, including how to measure, pour, cut and finish it.

On Tuesday, Feb. 12, HRRC offers its popular power tools workshop. Those attending will get experience using miter, circular and reciprocating saws, as well as angle grinders, nail guns, and different kinds of drills. This class is a perfect primer for those thinking of making costly home repairs themselves.

The cost for each of the above workshops is $25, and discounts for residents of Cleveland Heights, as well as income-based discounts, are available.

A free class on natural building will be offered as a part of HRRC’s monthly Free Monday series on Monday, Feb. 25. The class will cover how to build durable, long-lasting structures using natural materials such as mud, clay, straw and sand.

All workshops begin at 7 p.m. and take place at the HRRC office, 2520 Noble Road.
