For too many people, the simple act of contacting a plumber or repair person can feel like a game of chance. As a trans woman and a professional maintenance technician, Mercury Stardust has discovered (the hard way) that we live in a world with much to fear. If you’ve ever felt panicked about opening your home to strangers in order to fix a maintenance issue, this book is for you. Mercury Stardust is a Professional Home Maintenance Technician, author, performer, and award-winning activist. Known widely as the Trans Handy Ma’am, her unique brand of compassionate education in the Home Repair space has earned her internet fame. With over 2 million followers on TikTok, Mercury spreads DIY knowledge with love. Her expertise includes rental maintenance, landlord negotiations, clogs, drywall, painting, minor electrical repairs, caulking, and more.
Safe and Sound includes:
  • Guidance for over 50 simple home maintenance projects, such as replacing your shower-head and troubleshooting a faulty garbage disposal.
    Chapters covering basic and handy repairs for your plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and safety needs.
    Advice tailored to renters to minimize permanent changes.
    Helpful illustrations and QR code links to videos to help you on your journey.
Remember—a little bit of knowledge can go a long way toward making you feel more safe and in control of your own life.
No registration required. Free event. First come, first serve.
