Greater Springfield Home and Builders Show

Photos from the
Greater Springfield Home and Builders Show
Prairie Capital Convention Center


A DIY type show recently featured a project on how to design your own cat veranda.
I was delighted to see that someone is marketing this neat item.


Every home show has a jacuzzi...right?


These wood "paintings" are incredible.



The CWLP display.
Check this page for heat pump and other rebate forms.


I really like the informative book CWLP gave out on designing an energy efficient home.
Be sure to get one if this topic interests you.


The POD PEOPLE ARE HERE!

Creative Concrete Resurfacing


A t-shirt from one of the displays at the show.
No, I didn't win one of these t-shirts.


Tankless water heater


Yep, one of THOSE toilets.
Want to see a cheaper solution?


The Gutter topper mascot. Isn't he cute!


Back-up power generator


Furnace air cleaner

I love how the Mike Williams Plumbing truck has their name backwards like an ambulance.

Edwin Watts Southwind Park plans

Handy links...

Springfield Parks website
http://www.springfieldparks.org/

BTW, the Park District will take donations for the park.

For instance, if you want to donate a water fountain, or tree, or
whatever...give them a call. I like the idea of a doggie water
fountain, like what they have at Washington Park.

I'm also hoping that someone will donate that swimming pool facility.
