3-Week Intro to Plumbing: Bathrooms and Kitchens CHICAGO

09/20/2023 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm CDT

Learn all about your bathroom and kitchen plumbing systems in this 3 week series!

This is a 3-session class that meets on consecutive weeks (the sessions are exactly one week from the previous session at the same time, ex: Saturdays at 10:30am).

‘This course is designed for the aspiring DIYer who wants to be comfortable doing their own plumbing work outside the wall.

Day 1: We’ll cover how water flows through your home with a special emphasis on drain maintenance and diagnosing/fixing clogs. Participants will learn how modern drain systems work. We’ll cover drain pitch, internal and external venting, cleanouts and traps.

Day 2 Bathrooms: We’ll get hands on in the workshop. Participants will practice removing and installing a tank type toilet, including supply lines, and installing a vanity, sink faucet, supply lines and drain connections.

Day 3 Kitchens: Participants will practice how to install a kitchen sink, faucet and garbage disposal. We’ll also cover soldering copper pipe connections.

Our instructor is Dean “Coach” Rennie. Dean has many years of experience training in the construction trades and has a wealth of tips, tricks and helpful advice to share.

Scholarship available. Contact indigo@rebuildingexchange.org
