SUMMARY:Before You Panic–What Every New Homeowner Should Know
DESCRIPTION:I’ll be speaking at Canada’s largest home and garden event\, the National Home Show\, running March 6–15\, 2026 at the Enercare Centre in Toronto. \nIf you’re already planning to attend the show — or even thinking about it — I’d love for you to join me at the Main Stage on Friday\, March 13 at 1:00 PM. \nYou’re coming for the inspiration\, the ideas\, the experts\, and the scale of it all. Come by the stage and spend an hour getting steady about your own home. \n\nThe Session\nOwning a home for the first time comes with a learning curve. \n\nA breaker trips.\nA toilet keeps running.\nYou notice moisture where there shouldn’t be any.\n\nYour brain goes straight to: This is going to cost thousands. \nBut most of the time? Your house isn’t breaking — it’s communicating. \nIn this practical and steady main stage presentation\, Tammy Watson — Home & Farm Editor at Harrowsmith Magazine and founder of Canadian Handywoman — walks you through what new homeowners actually need to understand first. \nWith a background in consumer protection and years as a professional handywoman\, Tammy teaches you how to move from panic to perspective. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n\nThe essential “Big Three” systems every homeowner should understand \n\n\nHow to tell the difference between normal maintenance and a true emergency \n\n\nThe early signs your home gives before small issues become big ones \n\n\nWhere to draw the line between a confident DIY repair and calling a licensed professional \n\n\nHow to think clearly before making expensive decisions \n\n\nThis session is not about memorizing complicated mechanics. \nIt’s about learning how your home works — so you can respond instead of react. \n\nWho This Is For\n\nFirst-time homeowners\nRecent condo or house buyers\nAnyone who skipped a deep dive during the purchase process\nHomeowners who want confidence without becoming full-time DIYers\n\nWhether you’ve just moved into a downtown condo or a suburban classic\, this talk will help you feel more grounded in your own space. \n\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With\nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA simple 30-day homeowner checklist\nA clearer understanding of your home’s logic\nThe confidence to pause before panicking\nA practical framework for handling the unexpected\n\nNo overwhelm. \nNo scare tactics. \nJust clear\, calm guidance. \n\nUse promo code HARROWSMITH5 for $5 off general admission tickets online.
