The first thing you should do is to design your house according to the shape and size of the plot you hold. You must maintain the natural shape and beauty of the land. You must avoid cutting trees in your plot and start thinking about designing landscapes to maintain the natural greenery look. Trees are required to protect your house from direct sunlight and this will keep the rooms in your house cooler.

Save maximum rain water, which will be more useful for you during the summer season.

Try to grow live plants around your house to keep the environment around your house fresh. You must only use fluorescent light bulbs because they last up longer. Avoid using toxic paints for your home. It’s a good idea to choose solar panels to save electricity and to make the maximum use of sunlight. Such type of simple changes can make your life greener and safer.

The frame was still good, sorry I forgot to take before pictures

Here is the design picture

The deck is Correct Deck CX composite. It has a single picture frame border, DCL railing, fascia, treads, and risers in Mahogany color, and the decking is in Pebble with Pebble lattice.

The DCL railing has Deckorators round metal balusters

In the picture below -
I would like to point out the squash blocks under the center of the 2x4 DCL rail.

You would be surprised how many decks I have seen without the squash blocks installed.

Every railing I have seen without the squash blocks have sagged pretty bad.

Something so simply makes a big difference

How to Choose Best Configuration Tablet in Low Cost

What make tablets more beneficial and useful than laptops, is its smaller screen, easy portability, light weight and extended battery life. Tablets can be much compared with netbooks. People using tablets give it more importance for Wi-Fi surfing, Ebooks reading, movie watching and gaming. You can say tablets have become a status symbol in society.

We have a lot of choice of tablets in market. But having more choice is not always a good thing. Now that there are numerous brands, different sizes and multiple platforms, it actually requires some work to find the best device for you. Here I am sharing some points that you should consider when choosing your best configuration tablet under Rs. 15,000.

1. When selecting a tablet, you should be crystal clear what youre mainly using it for. Is it for work or entertainment or both? Is it for taking notes at meeting or for gaming and watching movie?
Most tablets in market can fulfill both roles pretty well, but there are some more suitable than others. Here i will suggest you to buy Lenovos A2107 Tablet and HP slate 7. These tablets have some additional features for both entertianment and work.

2. Once you have your need fulfill, you should think Whats the right size of your tablet.
Tablets can start from a modest 5-inch display and go up to 13 inches. Now days 7inch tablets are becoming  very popular in market. Obviously, the devices with the larger displays will be heavier and less portable and also require a powerful battery. Also a small screen tablets are not worth buy. Small screen tablets will not give you more satisfaction while playing games or watching movie. So i will suggest you 7 inches tablets like HCL Me series tablets, Samsung Galaxy tab2, Acer Iconic B1.

Besides the size of the display, you should also look at the screen resolution. You can find a list of tablets with high-resolution screens here.

3. Whats the best choice Processor of tablets?
You have single core processor as well as dual core processor in your range. You have to carefully examine the speed and performance. I here suggest you to choose dual core processor tablets like Samsung Galaxy tab2.

4. Operating System
You have of choice of iOS and Android. In your range, the best operating system is undoubtedly Android. But point comes to the versions of android available in this Rs.15,000 range. You can get latest version of android Jelly Bean in this range tablets like in Samsung galaxy tab2, Hp slate 7 etc. You should make sure that is your tablet support google app store or have any other store like HCL Me tablet.

5. Memory
This is not a big discussion point, because a range of mobiles are available in different RAM and Rsaya. The best choice for memory is 1GB RAM and 8GB Rsaya (Expendable to 32GB). Here i can suggest a number of tablets, but will prefer HCL Me Y1 and Y3, Huawai Media pad 7 lite tablet.

6. Voice calling and 3G supported
 This is really very important point to discuss before selecting a best tablet. Mostly tablet doesnt have Sim slot or not having voice calling feature. Voice calling is important feature which differentiate tablet to laptop.
So while looking the specification, you should carefully select voice calling and 3G supported tablet. Huawai Media pad 7 lite and HCL Me Y1 and Y3 might be best choice.

7. Connectivity
Carefully examine the connectivity specifications of your tablet like bluetooth, sim slot, Wi-Fi, GPS etc.


I end this guide with a summary of what you should consider before getting a tablet. I will recommend you going to a retail tablet store and trying them out, dont completely rely on specs and review on websites.

Cuffs Cove in Edgartown

Here is a fantastic home in Cape Cod! It is hidden in a small enclave in Edgartown, Massachusetts, called Cuffs Cove. Another gem designed by Hutker Architects.

All photos from Hutker Architects website

As usual we find spectacular architecture! This room really needs no adorning. What an unbelievable fireplace - a testament that great mason craftsman still exist. Simple upholstery , almost no accessories, allow the architecture of the room to speak. The kitchen continues the wonderful post and beam design. I love the use of the butcher block with the solid surface counter. Notice the overhead lighting used, soft schoolhouse house pendants which cast a soft glow rather a harsh overhead light from canned recessed fixtures. Very simple cabinets, hardware and backsplash tile. Again your focus is on the architecture of the room. The Solarium! A serene space, again using a very neutral palette so the focus is on the incredible conservatory. I love the zinc lantern!
Walkway to pool and outdoor entertaining area. I have always preferred grass walkways to complete stone walkways. I like the contrast of texture and especially the way the grass softens the hardscapes. The addition of the pergolas, calling out for climbing roses, will be quite beautiful in the summer. Care for a dip in the pool or a cocktail?
A beautiful home on Cape Cod, with architectural detail that speaks for itself!
