# The Weekend Fixer

> Step-by-step US home-improvement and DIY-repair guides for non-professional homeowners. Written by Jake Morgan (Denver, CO), a mechanical engineer turned weekend fixer. Every guide is based on a project Jake personally completed, with real tools, real costs (2026 USD), and real time estimates plus a 25% buffer for first-timers.

The Weekend Fixer is an editorial site, not a contractor directory. We publish how-to guides, tool reviews, and seasonal home-maintenance checklists for American homeowners aged 30–55. Tagline: *Fix it Saturday. Brag about it Sunday.* All measurements are imperial (inches, feet, °F, USD). Building-code claims are cross-referenced with the current International Residential Code (IRC) and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
