One of my favorite parts of running HomeFixated is attending trade shows. I love running around from booth to booth learning about all the interesting tools and products on the market, generally from well-spoken, attractive PR people. If you’re a regular reader, you know that The National Hardware Show and STAFDA (it’s not an infection, it’s a tool show), are two regular stops for the HomeFixated show circuit. This month, I’m adding a new show to our coverage, and it’s right in our San Diego backyard: PCBC.

PCBC_logo_redThe show has been around in various forms since 1959, and during the housing boom time (remember those days?), it was the fastest growing trade show in the country. I think the show was originally the Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference, but these days, they prefer PCBC.

To get more live coverage of trade shows with the latest in tool, home and construction products in the future, be sure to follow HomeFixated on Twitter. Even if you’re not on Twitter, you can find our coverage of the show detailed below. You may also see more detailed coverage of some of the products we discovered at PCBC in the coming months on HomeFixated. Enjoy!

About Marc Lyman

More from author
Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine! For his complete profile, please visit our About page. Really, it's worth it.
