Do-it-yourself clubs offer help with home projects

Got a home project you'd like to do yourself but need a few helping hands? Try joining or forming a do-it-yourself club with others interested in improving their house or garden. Working with a group makes home repair less overwhelming. It also saves on money on tools, since you can borrow instead of buy.
