5. Walk through the AFS interactive exhibit

The pros at AFS, A Bayless Company, the leading Foundation & Waterproofing Company in the Southeast have an interactive exhibit on site to help pinpoint any potential foundation problems you could potentially have in your home. I took a spin through the exhibit and identified a few problems in my own home. It was a real eye opener!

Spring is just around the corner, making it the perfect time to consider that patio renovation. The Birmingham Home Show features many outdoor contractors and builders with awesome displays, but nothing was cooler than this faux flagstone fireplace. V cool.
