NAHB Show Orlando


Anyone going to the show next month?

I'm thinking of going, would be the first time.

What do you come away with, is it worth going to it?

Any suggestions concerning going there?

rwtapp...

you should be going to the world of concrete this week in Vegas, it's a blast

the builders show is really good too, but my main focus is concrete so, it's off to the concrete show for me. If they move the builders show back to Vegas I'd go. Nothing against my Florida friends here, but it's a bitch to get there from California, kills the whole day just flying there

I just got back from Florida this afternoon, if you think that you are going to walk around without a jacket you have another thing coming! Rain, overcast Sky's and cold weather..... what a great place to visit.

BTW, you should post you daily walking plan if you want people to run into you. The show is really large and the odds of two people meeting are slim.

Re: NAHB Show Orlando


Nathan you realy going to be there, I want a T-shirt. I am going for my second time this year. It is a huge show, walked it all in a day last time and was too rushed. If you can plan on two days. I got my ticket for free online about three months ago. I know they try to sell them but if you search around enough they are free too. They have booths on every thing you need to build a home from concrete and trusses to ovens and blinds. Its is maily for contractor that want to see the most current trnd and ideas. Always good to know whats out there even if you don't plan on using it. Hope to see you there I'll be the 6' white guy with brown hair not giving out T-shirts

I really wanted to go to this in Vegas but we're working on a project.

Next year though?

Can you tell I'm a Cubs fan?
