Episode 103
Week of Feb. 2, 2008
Housing starts and home sales may be down, but remodeling homes defies these downward trends. Right now is the time to get those projects going. It's also the time for a reminder to attend the National Kitchen and Bath Association's "Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference". This year the event is a month earlier and professionals are encouraged to sign up now for the conference, which is from April 10-13, 2008 in Chicago.
Segment 1:
Remodeling is a trend that will never go away, and this is a perfect time of year to get those projects underway.
Countertops are a large investment – and getting something beautiful as well as practical is easy to do. And getting more natural light into a kitchen or bath space is as easy as installing a skylight – or four.
