And if you’re planning to go to the now alphabet soup of three “co-located” shows–R|D|J for Remodeling, DeckExpo, JLCLive!, respectively–I’ll be there doing demos and getting into my “Top-Down Deck Framing” and pergola demos, which I touch on in this video (Note: This was produced for a wide audience, so please endure the DIY-ish-ness that might come across, but it is my go-to deck framing process).
Anyway, I started writing this post to tell you about last year, not this year (it’s in Lousiville, Ky., this year, by the way). Getting back to last year, my colleague, Andy Wormer, walked the show floor and found some slick LEDs that don’t glare and a cool post/beam support that looks like it will solve some problems and more. Check out Andy’s report.
