Hot tubs, granite countertops, new windows and patio furniture crowded into the convention centre this weekend for the annual Home Expressions home-and-garden show. Hundreds of people roamed past the displays, planning renovation jobs to tackle this year. It's the 40th anniversary of the home show, and a highlight this year was the hockey-fan cave, a den decked out with a hot tub, tons of NHL-related decor and a patch of synthetic ice.

We asked a few patrons what inspires them.

Norm and Vienna Black

What's first on your to-do list now that it's spring?

Vienna Black: Change the wood stove to a gas-burning fireplace. We're getting too old to chop wood.

What has given you home-show envy?:

Norm Black: Windows. The other thing after that, is kitchen cabinets. We got some nice ideas for kitchen cabinets.
