Home Improvement Circles
Home Improvement Circles
We don’t fix houses in silence.
We pass the flashlight, the coffee, and the hard truths — one tired neighbor to another.
What Happens in a Circle
Small groups (8–14 people) meet online or in person for 6–10 weeks. No experts on pedestals. Just real people trading scars, shortcuts, and the occasional small miracle.
Renovation Real Talk
Contractor horror stories, budget meltdowns, and the one trick that actually saved someone’s kitchen.
Garden Grief & Glory
Dead plants, surprise perennials, deer warfare, and the year the tomatoes finally forgave us.
Energy & Time Bankruptcy
How to keep going when you’re out of both — and still want a home that feels like yours.
Second-Hand Triumphs
Craigslist rescues, dumpster finds, and the quiet pride of making broken things beautiful again.
Weathering the Weather
Midwest winters, prairie winds, and the projects that survive them.
Passing It Forward
Every circle ends with members paying the support forward — to the next weary soul.

How Circles Actually Work
- One trained facilitator (just another homeowner who’s been through it)
- Weekly 90-minute meetings — evening or Saturday morning
- Everyone brings one current struggle and one hard-won lesson
- We protect confidentiality like it’s sacred (because it is)
- No sales, no sponsors, no “influencer” nonsense
- Cost: whatever you can truly afford — $0 to $80 for the whole circle
Your seat is waiting
