FacilityMaintenance







The ability to perform basic home repairs can save both time and money for the homeowner. As well, home safety information is important for all family members. Students begin the IIU by performing a flame test on a variety of cloth samples to determine which ones are most susceptible to an open flame. Next, students explore the use of smoke detectors and perform a smoke detector test. The second half of the IIU is devoted to home repairs. Students use a bench top trainer to repair a leaking faucet and change a water supply tube. Using the trainer they learn how to correctly replace a light switch. Students are reminded that they in NO way are qualified to perform ANY electrical repairs at home, etc. Finally, using a bench top drywall trainer they learn how to repair a hole in drywall. To complete the IIU students use a software program to design a loft/study space.
