As a homeowner, I absolutely love these shops! I do them for two different MSCs. I get to bring in my fixtures and ask real questions. I get tons of decorating ideas. The reimbursement is $5. It's not high, but it goes a long way. I've gotten hex keys, odd shaped batteries, spackle, hand tools, a hose (coupon), fertilizer and plants.
