With a theme of Remodeling Done Right, Wisconsin's largest home improvement and remodeling show will have more than 250 Milwaukee NARI member exhibitors. Association contractors will display the latest home improvement and remodeling products and services, including design and build, kitchens, decks, cabinets, win- dows, wall covering, bathrooms, lighting, landscaping, roofing, painting, fireplaces, siding, and more. This year's presenters include members of Milwaukee Blacksmith from the hit show with the same name on the History Channel, Melinda Myers, The Plant Doc- tor, and Nick Kerzner, The Construction Guru. Several members of the Knapp family from Milwaukee Blacksmith will be partic- ipating in the presentation at 5 p.m. Feb. 18. Kent Knapp, the lead blacksmith, has more than 20 years experience, running the fam- ily business with his wife Shannon, the operations manager. He does the major forging and assigns portions of each proj- ect to one of the couple's eldest four chil- dren. He also manages the lessons and work of apprentices and teaches classes on Saturdays. Myers' presentation on Feb. 16 will be on Containers For Every Size and Style Land- scape. She will share ideas for creating con- tainers suited to various growing condi- tions and gardening styles, providing ideas for mixing edibles, flowers, and shrubs. "I will also show ways to create fun container gardens for kids, water and bog gardens in a pot, and drought-tolerant succulent planters," Myers said. There will be tips, techniques, and new products for making container gardening easy. The Feb. 18, seminar will address Small Scale Plants with Big Impact!, with Myers explaining how to fill every corner of the garden, balcony, or deck with plants that create year-round beauty in the garden. Small plants with colorful foliage, fruit and form can add beauty to any size landscape, she said. Kerzner, owner of Kerzner Remodeling & Construction in Oconomowoc, will speak on ways for consumers to search for con- tractors and what should be included in a remodeling project contract. Author of numerous articles on industry-related sub- jects and host of the "Construction Guru" radio show that airs Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. on WISN-AM 1130, Kerzner will con- duct presentations on Feb. 17 and Feb. 18. In addition to the presentation stage, there will be live music by Joe Kadlec from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 18 and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 19.
