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.

Do you have the Home Depot CD-ROM? I can't remember what it's called, something like 1-2-3. There's a book and a CD-ROM, but I don't think they come together. Anyway, I use the CD-ROM to explain how stuff works. I haven't done a GFCI outlet, but I've read about doing them. There's also some useful stuff online.

The only thing I've done is install a ceiling fan, which was hairy enough. (I also have a fear of heights.) But the electrical part was a snap. Wire nuts rule.
