Dear Homeowner,
If, relative to home improvement, we define information as what-to-do, then there’s a lot of information out there. But only a small percentage of that information is accurate, specific, and complete; in other words, useful. And if we define knowledge as how-to-do, then proven home improvement knowledge is hard to come by.
Even if you can find both useful information and proven knowledge, their combination results in ability only. And while ability has greater potential than either information or knowledge by themselves, it’s still just potential. Potential that’s realized only when that ability is intelligently applied. Intelligent application of ability results from insight. Insight provides understanding of context, efficiency, and value. It’s the product of not just experience, but of substantial experience that’s been well considered.
The biggest obstacle most face regarding improving their homes themselves is, most accurately, fear. Fear of the unfamiliar or of tackling a large project. Maybe both. I can relate. But after a couple decades of improving homes by myself (performing the same tasks in the same way that you will) I’ve realized that while the fear is genuine, it’s without merit. Because the most important factor in home improvement success isn’t ability. Or skill. It’s true that both skill and ability are necessary. But the key to successfully improving your home yourself is, more than anything else, the right attitude.
The most you can gain from an educational experience is expectation. To expect, in this case, that you’ll not only improve your home, but that you’ll improve it substantially - and the way it should be done. Expectation is the opposite of fear. And it’s the right attitude. This course provides the ability, and insight, that will create that expectation in you.
I’ll see you in class,
