Do You Have a Match? No, I Use a Lighter!

February 27, 2023

Wood Street Cabinet hosted our February event with a 1920’s Speakeasy themed event. Guys and dolls alike packed the showroom last Thursday evening for a rollicking good time!

Thank you to everyone that attended, dressed to the theme or not, and especially thank you to everyone at Wood Street Cabinet for putting together such a fun and well attended event. From the food, to the beverages (shhh…. don’t tell!) to the themed music and movies on the TV, it was a top notch event.

Be sure to check out our photos in the photo gallery and also keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming events!

SSHBA New Year’s Kick Off

February 16, 2023

The SSHBA started the year off on a great foot with their New Year’s Party.

Over 60 people were in attendance and multiple vendors put together tables to showcase their products and services. We also had an extremely talented musician keeping us entertained with his acoustic performance!

If this is foreboding for the year to follow, then 2023 is going to be AMAZING!

Thank you to our vendor table sponsors Westlake Royal Building Products , Velux USA and Edmund Allen Lumber / Beacon Supply

If you need a superb musician to play for an event or party, we would highly recommend Dave from David’s Bazaar.

NAHB Webinar- Inflation Reduction Act

September 21, 2022

As previously noted on NAHBNow, on Aug. 16, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, unleashing a slew of new programs and hundreds of billions of dollars in new climate-related federal spending. Although many of these new programs offer new or expanded financial resources and tax credits that could help home builders, remodelers and housing consumers, several are focused on increasing energy code requirements, which could severely impact housing affordability.

To help our industry prepare, NAHB is hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 2 p.m. ET, during which NAHB staff experts will help explain how the Inflation Reduction Act will influence energy code adoption, home renovation, training and tax policy.

Although the federal government is expected to slowly roll out the regulations governing these new programs, this webinar provides an opportunity to ask questions and learn how NAHB can help you navigate the new law.
