Tip of the Day



Homes Of The (Near) Future

Wondering what's coming to tomorrow's home? Here's what's just around the corner: Look for more and more alternative materials. The use of natural wood and quarried stone is giving way to all sorts of manmade technology. Laminated and recycled wood hybrids and earth-friendly replenished genetic lumber, harvested from local managed forests, and lightweight concrete soon will come to the fore. Countertops will be anti-bacterial with integral sinks and recyclable when they wear out. Homes will be more user-friendly for all ages, with adjustable countertops, glare-free surfaces and skid-resistant floors. With easy access ramp entries and solar heat and electricity, homes will be totally prewired for the electronics of the future. Robot servants, video phones, 3-D television? Maybe not yet, but soon. And that's the On The House tip for today.
