How to learn DIY home repair skills for free

del piero

The handyman looked at the plaster dangling from the top of our downstairs window. Then, he headed upstairs to check the seal on the window directly overhead.

“It needs some caulk,” he announced when he returned. “If I come out again and fix it, it’ll cost $250. Or, you can pick up caulk for two or three bucks and do it yourself.”

My husband and I exchanged a nervous glance. The last time I’d held a caulk gun was 10 years ago. He never had.

But we’d just been told how to knock 99% off our potential repair bill. It seemed like now was the perfect time to learn!

CT Tax Free Week starts Sunday; experts worry COVID could impact sales

del piero

CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — Connecticut’s Tax Free Week kicks off Sunday, Aug. 16, but experts worry COVID-19 will impact shoppers’ willingness to buy.

“Sales Tax Free Week comes at a time of year when families typically purchase new clothing and footwear, which can add up to real savings,” Department of Revenue Services Acting Commissioner John Biello said. “While the back to school shopping season will look a bit different this year, taxpayers should keep in mind that Connecticut’s sales tax holiday applies to eligible items purchased in stores, and from online retailers. We encourage taxpayers to support our business community and take advantage of this opportunity to save.”

Tax Free Week applies to most clothing and shoes purchases under $100. It’s a time when most guardians would do their back-to-school shopping, but experts feel COVID and the uncertainties with the upcoming school year could change that.

Containers of rice with braised beef are filled at the People’s Kitchen at El Compadre in Philadelphia, Pa. on July 15, 2020. The group made 200 meals for the needy.

“Purslane is a very delicious weed that a lot of the gardeners don’t care about,” says Carly Pourzand, 27, an avid gardener who’s also been coordinating the transformation this spring of El Compadre into the People’s Kitchen, where these greens would soon be cooked.
