One of the most popular exhibits each year is the SeeThru
House, staffed by the experts of ConsultAHomePro.com.  Here, attendees will learn what happens
behind a home’s walls, above the ceiling and under the floor, and can ask
questions and discuss ideas with plumbers, electricians, carpenters, general
contractors and other professionals who will be at the exhibit every day.  The 3,000-square-foot exhibit is designed to
demonstrate the internal workings of a home including plumbing, decking, electrical
systems, security, fireplaces, insulation and more.
