About the Event
Older homes were not built to handle the electronics we have today. Wiring ages over time, and as homeowners repair and remodel, they have a great opportunity to upgrade old and outdated wiring. Instructor David Donnelly will have a stud wall and discuss installing new construction outlets and new existing wall outlets. We will install a basic switch and lighting circuit. David will also discuss updating old wiring and fixture basics.
Instructor David Donnelly is a licensed contractor, Realtor, old home lover, food truck builder, and lifelong Twin Cities resident.
