The Rebuilding Information Service will offer a free seminar for homeowners at noon on April 4 at the Community Center of St Bernard, 1107 LeBeau St, Arabi.
On Saturday, April 4, 2009, the Rebuilding Information Station (RIS) will partner with the Community Center of St Bernard to offer a free seminar on “Scheduling and Sequencing Your Home Rebuilding Project.” The seminar will begin at noon at the Community Center, located at 1107 LeBeau St in Arabi.
The guest speaker at this event will be LSU AgCenter Associate Bill Robinson. Building a new home or rebuilding a damaged one is a major project that can easily become overwhelming. Mr. Robinson’s presentation will focus on practical tools that experienced builders use to run construction projects efficiently.
Homeowners will learn effective tips on developing a budget, using basic scheduling techniques, and setting priorities so that they can take control of their own rebuild. Mr Robinson will also discuss how to avoid common mistakes such as spending too much emphasis on finishing materials while neglecting basic but essential items like foundations and windproofing.
The Rebuilding Information Station (RIS) is a collaborative effort of the University of New Orleans Center for Hazards Assessment, Response and Technology, the LSU AgCenter, Tulane University's City Center and The Road Home. The Home Rebuilding seminar on April 4 is open to the public and no reservations are needed. For more information, please contact RIS at 504-280-5577.
