Even as a dreary drizzle fell, the Estates of Pitchkettle Farms was enveloped by a flurry of activity on Monday.

There’s less than a week left until the opening of the Tidewater Builders Association’s 35th annual fall Homearama in the Suffolk neighborhood off Pitchkettle Road, and tradespeople of all kinds were on site putting the finishing touches — paint, carpet, tile and odds and ends — on some of the homes.

Les Ore of Ore Builders, who is building one of the six homes and also is chairman of the show, wasn’t worried in the slightest as tradespeople moved in and out of the Ore Builders home on Monday afternoon.

“You’ve got multiple trades that are doing multiple things,” he said.

It all seems to be cutting it close to an outsider, but everything will shape up by Friday, Teresa Howell said.

“To see how things transform almost overnight, it’s kind of magical once the show opens,” she said. “Come Friday, it’s like a different world.”

The single-site event will feature the six homes offering ideas on custom home features, landscaping and interior design, Ore said.

“Every home has got killer decorating ideas,” he said, suggesting even apartment-dwellers will enjoy checking out the ideas the show has to offer. “Every home has its own decorator, so it has its own flair.”

Homeowners will enjoy getting ideas for home improvement and landscaping as well as decorating, Ore said.

Not only the homes but also everything in them are for sale. Everything from furniture to wall décor to kitchen accoutrements such as plate sets can be purchased throughout the show and picked up on the last day.

Howell said the show is happy to return to Pitchkettle Farms after its initial outing there 11 years ago.

“We’re just really excited to be back in Suffolk,” she said.

The show will take place on three consecutive three-day weekends.

A one-day pass costs $10, with children 12 and under admitted free.

4Oct. 20-22: The first weekend is Military and First Responders Appreciation. A 50-percent admission discount will apply to active, retired and dependents with ID. A hospitality tent with refreshments will be open from noon to 5 p.m., and a variety of prizes only military and first responders can enter to win will be available.

4Oct. 27-29: The Bluegrass and Brews weekend will feature bluegrass music with samples of craft beer and ciders with ID from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
