Building Moxie Goes to the Remodeling Show, 2011 Edition :: Take 1: Product Round-Up
12
And that’s where I am at. Our visit last week to Chicago, and only the 2nd time for me in my lifetime, the 2011 Hanley Wood and NAHB-sponsored Remodeling Show. If I didn't do a good job to point describing what it is, it is part conference, packed with educational seminars, and part product showcase -- a show. Targeted to those working in the residential remodeling industry, it is a great place to connect and network, and to learn. Barry and I attended as a team, we balanced personal interests with those of this blog . . . all part of this here work in progress.
Over next few weeks will work to get our thoughts down. Today -- start easy, with a short product roundup. [ . . . ]

Bob Borson :: When Does it All Come Together? (An architect becomes an Architect)
15August 6, 2010
I have been an architect my whole life. When I tell people that I knew I wanted to be an architect by the time I was 5 years old, they think how lucky that must have been! How great it must be to have a singular drive and focus towards a career! Admittedly, I have spent time thinking about how people can go to college and not know what they want to do with themselves - it's something that I never had to deal with. But am I really so lucky?
