Notable Quotes

● keep in mind that with all the different things you're doing, there will be opportunities and things to look for to help underscore the main ideas of each space.

● One of the biggest things I would say you need to have in your home, in addition to all the new technology things people tend to want, is a recirculated hot water pump on a timer.

● Think about your intent for airflow and sleeping in a room. You may want to have air blowing, air movement, and background noise in the room; Is a fan right for you, a multi-stage AC, or both?

● Internet-related systems can quickly become one of the most haphazard items in a home, just like stuffing a modem here and some cables there and everywhere. Make sure you've got an area dedicated to all your home's data and wireless items.
