Hi All,<p>Now that I have enough connectivity in my village. I have decided that I will build a nice comfortable home for myself and work remotely.
I already have an old house (almost 100 years old) which is a bit crampy. As an extension to my house I am building a bedroom, spacious bathroom, office and a pantry.<p>On a forum where people have lived off in cars I am sure there will be some who will have good tips and experiences to share about building a space right from scratch. I need ideas.<p>Note: I live in India.
CABLES & WALL SOCKETS!!!!<p>Keep that in mind! There is nothing worse than having a lot of leads and cables through your house. If you are lucky enough to build your house from scratch think it through:<p>Think about where will you need wall sockets, how many of them will you need<p>I would suggest you think about the gadgets you will use in your house and design it around them.<p>Of course this is to be taken in account only if you get seriously annoyed with cables and leads (as I do).. otherwise... not much to say :D
Depending on how geeky you want to go, whether it's all for work or you want some pleasure out of it, I would say get a bunch of x10 devices. You can get lights, security systems, coffee pots, etc that all work off of the wireless x10 protocol so they can be used to build a smart home for extremely cheap (not sure what the cost would be getting everything in India though).
