Home Show


Well...our fisrt home show is over and done.....I have signed on to build 2 more ICF homes, and I wasn't even planning on being there. So here is how it works:

My son is trying to get his insulation business off the ground....we are building an ICF home and I am getting inquiries....so I tell my ICF rep about the show, and he pays for the booth to set up an ICF display, and my son gets a slot for his insulation display...great. I was at the show for a grand total of 2 hours, meeting other contractors, and and left a stack of pictures (portfolio) and the phone has rang all weekend.....my son has several estimates to do this week, some confirmed jobs, and met a lot of people....but the thing that got me was that other contractors are asking me to quote basements, doing ICF's.....ok, I am up for a challenge......and shall I roll the dice and see what comes?

Re: Home Show


Sounds like a win win! You might need another son to keep up with the business.
