Neighborworks Great Falls to Offer Winter Home Readiness Class Soon

Finding your perfect home and finally signing those papers is really a two-way street, or at least it was for my wife and I.  On the one hand, you have achieved the American Dream of your own little plot of land in Montana, white picket fence and all.

But on the other hand, owning a home comes with huge responsibilities, and I don't mean the mortgage or utility bills.  Home maintenance is incredibly important and adds value to it.  But what if you don't know the first thing about repairs, or which end of the wrench to hold?  Don't worry, Neighborworks of Great Falls has a solution.
