Thousands of homeowners visited Pheasant Run Resort in Saint Charles for the 54th season of The Old House New House Home Show, held September 24 and 25. Practical projects prevailed this season, such as roof remodels, kitchen updates, window replacements, basement renovations and bathroom makeovers. Three hundred companies participated in this event, hosted twice yearly by Lisle-based Kennedy Productions.
Celebrity guest, Lou Manfredini enlightened homeowners during his standing-room-only presentation, chalk full of helpful tips, industry insights and plenty of humor. Manfredini encouraged audiences to choose quality building materials for projects and to consider doing improvements in phases to ease the monetary responsibility over time.
The Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley hosted a Builders’ Breakfast for participants on behalf of their ReStore. Director, Deanna Davies, and her team of volunteers reminded homeowners and businesses to consider donating gently used or surplus materials to the Elgin-based ReStore. Beneficial tax deductions can apply as well as reducing construction waste in landfills.
Green building continues to spark interest among area homeowners and booths were buzzing for tankless water heater suppliers, geo-thermal heating installers, high-efficiency furnace technicians, bamboo flooring specialists, energy-efficient appliance distributors, and solar/wind energy experts.
This event returns February 10, 11 and 12, 2012. For more information, visit www.kennedyproductions.com or call 630/515-1160.
