While covering the fields with green grass, the rainy season also uncovers your poor home repair skills. The roof leaks all over the house turning your daily life into a modern version of Noah’s Ark say so. Despair not, the Annual Home Remodeling & Decorating Show & Eco-Expo is here with hundreds of home improvement ideas to rescue the novice do-it-yourselfers like you and I.

The 32^nd Annual Home Remodeling & Decorating show & Eco-Expo is much more than nails, lumber & drills with dozens of workshops and seminars by renowned home specialists like HGTV’s Belma Michael Johnson from Designed to Sell, Chris McWatt, host of Weekend Warriors, Nick Federoff, America’s most listened to gardening expert or award winning chef Bill Kelly of Smokin’ Willie’s fame.

This year’s show features thousands of products (no more excuses like: “I can’t seem to find the right size bathroom exhaust fan honey” or “does Home Depot sell 4 to 6 inch duct reducers for the laundry room’s project?” Go here and spot the items that your home’s been missing from decorative to structural.

Are you a junkie for all things green? (btw, you should be to the point of addiction). Well, if you are, rejoice because the Eco-Expo is what its name implies: eco-friendly solutions for the home meant to leave you feeling better about your home repair and upgrade choices. Keeping up with the Joneses in today’s sensibility implies some local time greening your house, your neighborhood, your workplace.

It’s probably not a bad idea to stop using your wife’s silk sarong as your home office’s curtain so while at the show make sure to check out the 21^st century solutions offered by vendors like Allbright Window Coverings. How about electronically controlled blinds or curtains? This will definitely bring you into modernity and allow you to achieve some parity between your window’s blind system and your Intel-run computer system.
