If Jeff Can Do It

The First Skill

  • One evening.
  • Shut off the water, or change a tire on flat ground.
  • If it is unsafe, you stop.

Who it is for

A person who wants one ordinary skill done the safe way. Not a shop class. Not a dare. Not a business owner shopping for a shop tool.

Two skills. You pick one.

Shut off the water to the house

This is the valve that feeds the whole house. A valve under one sink is not that valve. The kit shows you where the main shutoff is, how to turn it, and what to check after.

Change a tire on flat ground

This is the spare that came with the car, on flat ground, with the jack at the mark the car maker chose. A person who stops because the ground slopes has done the skill correctly.

Pick one for tonight. The other can wait.

What you get

One download. One zip. Inside it: the lesson, the video, and the pages you print. The stop rules are on the page where the step can go wrong. You do one skill in one evening.

What it will not do

  • It will not teach electrical work. It will not turn a gas valve.
  • It will not teach medicine. It will not say a person is on the way.
  • It will not tell you to get under the car.
  • It will not tell you to open a wall or a breaker panel.
  • If you smell gas, leave and call emergency services.
  • If someone is in danger, they call emergency services. This kit does not.

If Jeff can do it, so can you.
