And the Winner is … You Know . . . of a Trip to the Remodeling Show :: The Chosen One 2012

OK . . . I know there have been a handful of folks waiting patiently to learn the one Winner of our 106 Yard Contest.  At stake – a trip to the Remodeling Show in Baltimore.  The Show (& Conference) runs October 9th to October 12th this year.

Qualification in the Contest was as simple as commenting on this post >> Building Moxie is Looking for One Remodeler to Bring to the Remodeling Show 2012.  We received 15 total entrants (which I feel was a very good number), and thank you all who entered.

* “How exactly, jb, did you decide on one Winner . . . from such a worthy pool of candidates?” 

Well, for that, I turned to a few fine friends for help.  Three (technically four) to be exact.  Each, I feel, have a finger on the pulse of the Remodeling world, and all are also very familiar with the benefits of the Show itself.

Our Judges …

Mark Clement (& Theresa) @ My Fix it Up Life (Look for their new #fixituptalk chat every Wednesday night.)

Leah Thayer @ Daily 5 Remodel (Now back with daily posts & an official outlet of @ NARI National.)

Timothy Dahl @ Charles & Hudson (Together with Mrs. Dahl, Laura, catch him having fun @ Built By Kids.)

Used These Instructions …

1. Read the comment on the Contest post >> http://www.buildingmoxie.com/2012/08/building-moxie-sending-one-remodeler-remodeling-show-2012/.
2. Use the individual’s primary website (and any other resource available) to get a sense of the size, scope, age, quality, need of the individual’s business.

Each judge then returned a list of 5 Remodelers, ranking that list then from 1 to 5.  (A “#1 vote” represented the Judge’s pick for the one individual that “might receive the most value from attending.”)

I then applied a simple points system to these rankings.  A First position vote received 5 points, a Second position vote received 4 and so on.  I added all points together, and the one individual with the most points, well . . .

* A special shout here to Brian Peppel @ Handyguys Podcast for playing the role of alternate, tie breaker, the Decider (on standby, but not needed).  Thanks Brian!
