Labor Day, and the Remodelers are Working


I spent a good part of the weekend in downtown San Jose dressed in petticoats, and demonstrating square dancing with my club. Next to our performance area was Parkside Hall, filled with vendors of all sorts. As I walked through the building, I noticed that a very large number of the booths were taken by home remodelers of all sorts...dual pane windows, sliding doors, solar panels, kitchen and bath displays, and a big Home Depot setup...It was almost like a home show. I couldn't help but think that this industry must really be hurting when the economy takes a dive, and the former "easy money" from refinances has dried up.
