Remember when everyone spent 2020 watching home renovation shows, ordering power tools online, and convincing themselves they could knock out a wall with no problem? If your pandemic DIY phase ended with three trips to the hardware store and a lingering fear of contact paper glued to countertops, here’s your chance for redemption. This free series breaks down the basics of residential construction with this month’s entry being on blueprints, material estimations, inspections, and working with subcontractors. You’ll leave with much more practical skills and, ideally, fewer leftover screws than your last IKEA project. – Allison Shelton
