So much conversation like this, it's crazy. Here's the simple truth. Apple makes phones. The best phones you can buy. Nearly every person over the age of 13 buys a phone. Many buy a new one every year or two. Apple controls approx

I agree with the trend in home theaters. While a few of my recent projects had traditional "movie theater" designs, the trend is moving towards a more casual setup. The living rooms, family rooms, master bedrooms all have the same

What's the point of making that statement? 'Cotton production requires a fraction of the number of employees needed to accomplish the same tasks 150 years ago.' The bottom line is this: It's an advanced economy sector in

Lutron RA2 systems are very reliable. I centrally (home-run) wire all of the switches for future upgradeability, but I have very little issue with their systems. They can run wirelessly, but if its new construction, must also wire. Unless t

So quick questions: Is this Elysium Health supplement I'm taking going to give me cancer?!

Definitely need to protect the processors/servers on a location by location basis from voltage surges. The switches and outlets will be fine.

Serious question: How much would I have to pay you to consult on a new, high-end residential project? It's a 12,000 sq. ft. single-family residence.

This is the only way to build these systems. If you are building a new house, wire everything to a central location. This way, any necessary upgrades can all be a matter of swapping out hardware. Even with the switching, if Lutron goes out

The issue with the generator could have been as simple as the Generac smart switch not properly managing the load requirements of the panel.

The big issue of this story is this: NEVER INSTALL CONTROL4. It's utter garbaged. I hate to say it, really hate to say it, but if you want this level of integration in a system the only option is Crestron. I was hoping for a while that

This is one of the biggest issues. If you do not have a smart builder advising you on every step of the process, you will eventually take horrible advise from a salesman and end up screwing yourself. Nothing wrong with "smart" lig

The system installed sounds like a Lutron RA2 system. These systems can work wirelessly, but if it's new construction, you're a fool not to hardwire it was well (THE WALLS ARE OPEN).

These are good alternatives until you are building a large house, where you have, say 300 switch legs, 90 dimmers, 75 keypads, etc. You start to realize Lutron is your friend.

If you haven't noticed, people are more wild just before a full moon. Always a good idea to plan parties the night before. This is just my observation but I've found it to be very helpful in social situations. I could, from an emp

Remove the "ism" here. It's not a damn philosophy or religious movement. What people basically want is simplification in an ever increasing world of sensory overload. That's it folks.

I, for one, would rather be building on sand rather than clay. Clay is an absolutely terrible substrate for construction. Not to mention it does not drain. Hills don't become saturated with water... the water tends to flow to ze bottom

And people go install 4,000 and 5,000K LED lights in their kitchens and homes because it feels modern, can you imagine the disruption. I always insist on installing 2,800K at a max with my clients.

I think it's important to take a longer term look. Google has been a real force to be reckoned with, for what, >15 years?
