WATERLOO | It's a good time to be selling home heaters and insulation.
Another dose of snow and frigid temperatures may have hurt attendance at the Eastern Iowa Home and Landscaping Show on Saturday in the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. But Eric Weber was keeping warm in front of a row of toasty fireplaces at the Fireplace Creations booth.
"It seems like (attendance) is down a little bit," Weber said. "I don't know if that's due to the weather or something else. It's been steady though."
In the next booth, Dennis Kayser also said the unusually cold winter wasn't hurting his business, Arctic Seal Urethane Insulation Systems of Jesup.
"The colder it gets the more business we do," said Kayser, who insulates quite a few exterior home foundations to keep out the cold. "It warms the basement up so the pipes don't freeze and the wind doesn't blow through it."
About 175 vendors focused on home construction, remodeling, landscaping and related businesses filled the convention center for the annual event, which started Friday and concludes today.
"It was a little slow (Saturday) morning because of the weather," said Barbara Miller, of Iowa Show Productions Inc. "It's picked up this afternoon."
Vendors weren't the only attraction.
DIY Network star Paul Ryan, also known as "The Kitchen Magician," held seminars providing tips on home remodeling projects from hanging drywall to plumbing and tiling.
"Let's talk about the bane of my existence," Ryan told the crowd. "Plumping can be one of the most frustrating things you can do or one of the most rewarding if it's done right."

David Adams' house at 210 Gates St. in Portsmouth's South End, built in 1743 and gutted by fire in 2012, is the scene not only of a painstaking reconstruction process, but also a documentary.

David Adams' house at 210 Gates St. in Portsmouth's South End has come a long way since 2012, when a fire left it considered a "total loss" by the insurance company.
But Adams was not willing to give up, especially after spending more than 30 years restoring his 1743 home in the style of the craftsmen who originally built it. From structural repairs to plumbing, wiring and insulation, there was a lot of work. Throughout it all, Mike and Dottie Lockhardt were there capturing every moment with their cameras.
From day one, the husband-and-wife team has filmed Adams' re-restoration. It started as a Web series called The Craftmen's Journal. With more than a year's worth of footage, Adams and the Lockhardts are now hoping to create a 13-episode series to be broadcast on Portsmouth Public Media (PPMtv), but they need your help.
The Craftmen's Journal is taking pledges on Kickstarter.com through Feb. 21 to help fund the venture. It is seeking $4,500, enough to help fund the series' first episode. If the goal is not met by the time limit, all money will be returned to the backers.
While Mike Lockhardt said Channel 11 expressed interest in seeing the finished product, the station does not have resources to help fund the project. That is why Adams and the Lockhardts turned to Kickstarter.
Money from Kickstarter will help produce a 30-minute premiere episode to air on PPMtv. With the first episode, Adams and the Lockhardts hope to find local supporters to help sponsor 12 more episodes to broadcast on PPMtv.
The series will explore the re-restoration process, the story behind the home, how to get through a fire loss, and the tools, economy and history of the time in which it was built.

WOODBRIDGE, Ontario -- Royal Building Products is proud to introduce its Conceal Trim System - an innovative hidden trim system designed to work with virtually every exterior material.
Royal's Conceal Trim System -- which consists of corner boards, skirt boards and standard trim -- can be used in countless ways to add value, curb appeal and customization to any home.
Made from Royal's successful S4S trim, Conceal has all the aesthetic benefits of milled wood trim and none of the drawbacks. Closed-cell technology keeps board face and edge surfaces clean, ensuring low maintenance for the homeowner, while the "true square" edges allow for faster, cleaner installation. All profiles in the trim system can accommodate traditional siding, Celect Cellular Exteriors and Portsmouth Shake and Shingles. Conceal is paintable, available in smooth and embossed versions, and backed by a never-rot warranty.
Conceal Corner Board provides a clean, seamless appearance to the home's exterior and eliminates exposed fasteners when installed with the Royal Moulding and Trim Cortex Hidden Fastening System. Available in Traditional Square or Rabbeted Corner styles and 10-foot or 20-foot lengths.
Conceal Skirt Board features a built-in drip edge unlike any other competitive trim on the market. This feature is a water management system that prevents rainwater from streaming down a home's siding and reroutes it to drop directly onto the ground. Available in 18-foot lengths.
Conceal Standard Trim is used specifically for windows and doors and allows the siding to tuck behind the trim piece, giving the home's exterior a finished look and eliminating exposed fasteners. Available in 18-foot lengths.
