In order to stay current with new trends, tools and materials, editors from Fine Homebuilding regularly attend the major building-related trade shows. Early November found Tom O’Brien and me at The Remodelers’ Show in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Below are links to two quick articles on what we discovered there. What those articles don’t reveal is just how much fun these shows are for us. While we walk miles of aisles at most shows, for me, the best part is hanging out at the Fine Homebuilding booth and meeting the magazine’s readers. I’m constantly reminded just how important Fine Homebuilding is to the people who buy it and pay my salary. If you find yourself at The International Builders’ Show in Atlanta next February, stop by our booth and chat.
