Chairperson’s Message by Molly Johnson
Spring is here! It’s time to start your spring office cleaning and get prepared for the busy season. Follow-up on jobs that were quoted this winter or leads from the Home & Garden Show. Homeowners are tired of waiting to start home projects and are taking the plunge! Thank you to Granite Transformations for hosting our February monthly meeting at their new showroom. It was a great opportunity to learn about the products and services they offer in addition to meeting their Lincoln team members.

Best of the Best Best Bathroom Winner
Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery
The Tour of Remodel Homes is April 21-22. We have 18 homes on the Tour. Please take time to visit these great projects. Our next meeting will be at Valentino’s at 35th and Holdrege Streets on April 4. We have an attorney from The Hoppe Law Firm who will be educating members on the EPA lead paint rule. Some members submitted excellent questions to be answered so we all have a better understanding of the law and how to manage the paperwork and extra time required by the contractors. Congratulations to Ferguson for winning the “Best Bath” contest for March! If you have any pictures you want to submit for April’s “Best Windows” contest, please send them to Kayla@hbal.org I look forward to seeing you all at the April lunch meeting and hopefully during the Tour of Remodel Homes.
