Building Romance - Framing, Drywall & Patching

Get ready to build a wall from scratch, then learn how to fix one. In this hands-on session, you'll frame a small wall section, hang drywall, and practice patching techniques side by side, working through the exact steps a pro would use on a real home repair.

Building Romance is BBR's DIY date-night series, five Friday evenings a season. Come with a partner or come solo and meet someone. LGBTQIA-friendly, all backgrounds welcome. Learn real home-repair skills, from framing and drywall to wiring, painting, fixtures, and deconstruction. Home repair skills and a good date night, one and the same.
