If you’ve ever started a home project and wished you had an expert looking over your shoulder, then Shop Nights are for you. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned DIYer, drop by our Building Works workshop to ask questions, get hands-on advice, tinker, and connect. Our resident expert, Noel Sanchez – a restoration carpenter and small business owner of 30+ years – will offer his experience and guidance on a range of home repair, maintenance, and carpentry topics.
