Upgrades to our new apartment

James and I are here for a month to open our new home and tidy up a bit before returning in February or March to settle in.  We are moving from Southern California.

Is there a forum or list of where to find competent help to build some shelving, do some plumbing or other new home upgrades/fixes?

Also, we would like to take Portuguese lessons face to face instead of online, any suggestions?

Looking forward to hearing from anyone with suggestions.

Obragada!
