Paul Wilson grew up in La Habra, California. After college, he spent three years in the U.S. Army. He then headed into police work where he served for 18 years before retiring from the force. During that time, Paul's interest in tile led him to also become a licensed California tile contractor. His traditional approach to the installation of stone and ceramic tile on floors, tub surrounds, showers, countertops, fireplaces, exterior building facades led to many loyal customers.

Paul is currently a ceramic tile consultant and still does limited contracting for his most special clients. He holds the honorary position as the assistant director for the Ceramic Tile Institute of America in Culver City, CA. His duties there include a teaching, conducting ceramic and stone tile inspections, and writing specifications. When he is not working, Paul enjoys hunting, fishing, riding ATV's, mountain and road cycling, and mountain hiking.

Paul began his work with DIY Network while appearing in a Habitat for Humanity expose shot in North Carolina. Now he hosts the popular DIY workshop, Tiling Techniques.

STARBUCKS

We're conducting a blood drive each day at Florida's Largest Home Show.

Are you aware that Florida blood supplies will only last for three days if we had a large disaster?

Give now while there's still time. Visit Booth TBA to donate.

Every summer the Tampa Police Department and the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office put together a friendly competition in effort to help us with our blood supply during the summer. Blood supply drops to a very low margin during this time due to school close for the summer, vacations, visitors go back home, among other things. Yet, the demand for blood never takes a vacation. In doing this, non-active staff from both TPD and HCSO help us recruit blood donors during the summer. We have a special t-shirt that we give away to our donors during this time. The art on the shirt is submitted by TPD and HCSO.

Saving Green by Going Green

We've all heard about "going green." However, the going green process can be expensive and lengthy in terms of return on investment. Today's economy demands more instant gratification. Florida homeowners face unique challenges. Cooling the home is a major expense. Florida's Largest Home Show offers many products and solutions to neutralize the ever-increasing energy costs. Immediate savings can be realized with just a few changes.

The majority of heat enters your home through the attic and windows and doors.

Solar powered attic ventilators - Attics reach temperatures of more than 140 to 160 degrees in spite of soffits and roof vents. During the course of a day, your attic insulation becomes a giant heat blanket, forcing your air conditioning to run many more hours than it should to cool the interior of your home. Solar powered attic ventilators provide the only efficient means of reducing those high temperatures to equal the ambient temperature outside.

Sunblocking screens - These innovative screens provide no limitation of light, but reduce the heat entering your windows by 30 to 40%. They increase privacy by limiting visibility from outside the home and help protect furnishings from fading by blocking UV rays.

Variable speed A/C and dehumidifier - When the A/C system is turned on and has brought the home to the desired temperature, it automatically enters a maintenance mode that reduces energy use by 50%. The dehumidifier runs 24 hours a day at very low energy costs, maintaining the absolute perfect 40 to 45% relative humidity for maximum comfort. A home kept at 78 degrees with the proper humidity will feel like 72 degrees.

Electronic energy management systems control every electrical device in the home by only allowing that appliance to use the amount of electricity that it needs to run properly without wasted energy. This can save more than 20% monthly.

Now that we've identified and given solutions to help conquer the major energy pigs, there are many other hi-tech energy-efficient products that can improve the consumer's lifestyle and save dollars.

Steam washers and dryers while being energy efficient offer other benefits. They provide 99.9% bacterial removal from clothes and eliminate wrinkling due to the steam process. This can lead to a significant reduction in dry cleaning costs.

Energy efficient refrigerators extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and meats up to 50% using temperature and humidity control compartments. This reduces waste.

Induction cooking is the most efficient method of cooking. The magnetic field heats the pot and the food, not the burner. This results in a cooler kitchen and reduced cooking times. Water will boil in 90 seconds. That's high performance.

Coconut shell charcoal produces no toxic fumes while cooking at nearly twice the temperature of normal charcoal and half the cooking time for efficient outdoor cooking.

The above are just a few of the energy-saving products that will be displayed at Florida's Largest Home Show. There are many new products that are innovative, cool, and fun.

ProSun Sunshower is a tanning system that can be installed in your shower, bringing all the benefits of the sun to your bathroom. An additional feature of The Sunshower is skin rejuvenation which is achieved by high-intensity LEDs. This award-winning product will be debuting at Florida's Largest Home Show.

Touchless products: Touchless flushing toilets, trash cans, soap dispensers, hand dryers, shower controls, kitchen and bathroom faucets, touchless and voice-activated lights, touchless door locks, interior and exterior. These products reduce bacteria exposure and provide water savings and no hot water waste.

Avalanche Scooter Bike is perfect for that quick trip to the store.
