Slick new ways to make your house design shine are on the way

National Hardware Show and Lawn & Garden World have their annual exhibition earlier this month at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The best one word description of the event was great. Oh, my feet hurt, it was great!

Show manager Rob Cappiello, said there were 3280 producers who display their products in more than 767,000 square feet of exhibition space. Every man and much love to cruise the alley gals showing a hardware search for new things, but after five or six hours without a seat, you get a little numb.

There are many new things to see. So much so that two new product display area required: one for hardware and one for lawn and garden. As usual, many of the "new" items that enhanced versions of the model last year. I will devote two columns to some new items I saw at the exhibition. This week will include general-purpose items. Column next week will concentrate on improvement of tools and large items.
