Home automation and awsome renovtions to a home

Through out most of my blog I’ve mentioned in blog posts that I would love to have a place for my sons to play their music, and have other innovations added to my house. I was doing the hit and miss play on words to find a sight that was what I was really looking for. One of the sites I happened to land on was, home theater scottsdale. Of course I clicked on this since how great would it be to have a big theater, since the guys like to have a get together and watch their music movies and such. All of this keeps running through my mind and of course the financial aspect comes to mind also. It is home improvement, a great asset and may even help with bringing the family closer together. At least in my way of thinking.

What I totally am into is the home automation scottsdale. Truth be known it totally blew me away to know what this company can do for a home and also for the residents…especially me! Unreal! Everything from control of the music in the whole house, the movies and video. To security, lighting and oh shoot, the list goes on. I actually have to say that I’ve visited a lot of sites on my own and some that friends have recommended to me, but this one did indeed strike my fancy. I don’t generally rave about businesses, but then now and again one comes across and just flat intrigues me.

I really would love to have all of these home improvement ideas in my house. Unfortunately Scottsdale is a very  long way from here. But ya’ll living down that way, check it out. Like I’ve said, I’ve been wanting this this kind of innovation in my home for a long time. I love the whole concept.

Great Movies this Year for the Holidays

Going to the movie theater is something that I seem to have gotten away from and today I just realized how much I miss it. There is nothing like watching a movie in a big, dark theater with a hundred other people enjoying the action of the big screen with Dolby surround sound. I think it is cool to hear others gasp in surprise or laugh at the funny scenes. It adds to the viewing experience.

This year there are a lot of movies that sound really good scheduled for release in December. I guess they want to get people who are home from college and out of school for the holidays to spend some of their free time and money in the movie theaters. The one that I really want to see is the new James Bond movie, “Skyfall.” And of course I want to see “The Hobbit.”

If we don’t have a lot of bad weather this year I hope to make the trip to town a few times just for fun and watching movies. I won’t risk wrecking the car on snow and ice covered roads, but if the roads are clear I feel a big urge to get out of the house this winter and be around people and having fun. The movies are a great way to get me motivated and if I skip the popcorn and over priced sodas, I can budget for a couple of new release films and maybe invite a girlfriend or neighbor to come along with me.

Try direct tv or not

Lately I’ve been hearing a lot from my daughter about direct tv. I’m not really “up” on all the new changes in cable and satellite providers and yet my daughter told me that even reading about the services this provides, is quite informative and tells what kinds of service packages they have. They will tell you the up front cost and that since she and her husband already have a satellite dish that will mess up the television if there is a strong wind or nasty weather, they are seriously considering changing to this service.

Myself, I went to www.dx3.net   to take a look see for myself.  Now, mind you…I am not technology savvy about anything dealing with my television, internet and even the telephone. I haven’t gotten that far in reading yet to see if they deal with telephone services yet, but you can bet I indeed will call the number given, after I am finished reading all the information, so I can ask the questions I will have.

I know that I am not happy with my cable internet and television services. Not at all. Lately they basically have been telling lies about being a high speed internet provider, and believe me, they are not. As for the other televisions in the house, we have to shell out a heap of money to get boxes for my kids to be able to watch television in their rooms. We can’t afford it. But from what I HAVE  read about dx3 direct tv , a tech guy will come out and install the system and its free for up to four rooms, which would be awesome because it’s free. That alone is a good sign. I’d be saving some money! The channels available are really great, everything from sports to the media, movies, and favorite shows. That in it’s self would be totally awesome.
