So who knows a good school for general carpentry, electrical, plumbing and building skills?

Because I'm convinced that going to school and learning all these things would take less time and aggravation than waiting for effing service firms that lie about when they are going to show up for appointments, assuming that I can get appointments in the first place.

I , too have always wondered if you could

just show up at Habitat for Humanity builds and learn by doing right there.

And I have a local landscape irrigation guy I won't recommend. Late, messy,
watering the paths, over budget, etc. But he was the only one who showed up for an appointment at all. Now we muddle though the sprinkler system ourselves.

There is probably some stuff at community colleges. But there are so many. I think CSM and Foothill have horticultural stuff. But I don't know of any offhand that have construction trade skills.
