Planning a reno? Here's where to start

Saturday and Sunday are the last two days of the Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The show runs today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. If Friday's crowds are any indication, this may be the most popular show in recent memory.

This show has always kicked off the new year for home renovations, and Manitobans lead the nation in that department. Manitoba is the only province where more money is spent on renovations than new home construction on a consistent basis.

The KBR Show is unique in that it provides a free avenue for consumers to test the renovation market. The Ask a Renovator segment of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association booth is staffed with two professional RenoMark renovators available to answer your questions about a job you may be planning.

They are there to provide free 15-minute consultations to help steer you in the right direction toward an enjoyable and exciting upgrade to your home. Just come to the show and you will be able to pick the brains of one of Manitoba's finest renovators.

Whether the job is big or small; whether it's something you're committed to or just thinking about; whether you are a do it yourselfer or looking for a professional to help, this is the perfect place to start.

Along with presenting sponsor FloForm Countertops, we are proud to feature Sarah Richardson, star of HGTV's Sarah's House and Sarah 101. Last night, over 800 people were wowed by her fabulous presentation. Today

(Saturday) at 1 p.m. is your last chance to see Sarah in person.

Tickets are available for $20 plus agency fee at Ticketmaster in the Convention Centre. It's rush seating and doors will open at 11:30 a.m., so come early and stay late as your ticket to see Sarah Richardson also gets you into the KBR Show.

Tickets for the grand prize are being sold by volunteers from Variety'the Children's Charity. Tickets are two for $5, which enter you to win the Ultimate Kitchen Experience, valued at almost $20,000.

The Kitchen and Bath Renovation Show is today and Sunday, so don't miss your chance to see Manitoba's best suppliers located in one convenient place.

Mike Moore is president of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association.
