Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this posting, but here goes. I'd like to learn some home improvement skills, and I don't know where to start. I know that some things can be learned on YouTube, but for things like building a house foundation, or welding, I'm not sure that I should attempt that on my own without an instructor. I should mention I'm not mechanically inclined at all, just that I think I should learn some of these things so I can capitalize on the real estate opportunities my city has. Being just a desk jockey is getting kind of boring.
If I wanted to start, say, a Meetup, or some other sort of club dedicated to learning things with practical value, how would you go about doing it? Would you have multiple instructors? Would we tackle projects as a team? Is this even a good idea? I was considering volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, but I'm not too keen about the idea of religion. I'd also like to make some new friends, so turning this into a social aspect would really be beneficial for me. Thanks!
