The International Builders Show is BIG. Really big! Perhaps the second largest annual convention in the United States. It's so large that they actually construct full-scale houses to demo products and building techniques. And every manner of building material, equipment and fixture is represented.

Each morning we would be shuttled from our hotel to the massive convention center complex by our cheerful driver Mohummad. He always took good care of us and put up with our frequently obnoxious conventioneer behaviors.
