- Metal roofs are durable, resistant to dents and fireproof. Tile roofs are strong as well, with concrete and clay tile roofs holding up better under extreme weather conditions than slate tiles.
- Tile roof coloration resembles the color of the source material, whether it is clay or slate, but can be painted. Metal roofs can be designed to match almost any style.
- Metal roofs are more difficult to install than tile roofs because of their complex designs, but because they are produced in sheets or sections and are quicker to install.
- Metal roofs reflect sunlight, which reduces the home's need for energy output and helps the environment. Tile roofs help the environment as well by creating good air flow for the home.
- High-quality metal roofs are typically more expensive than tile roofs. Both metal and tile roofs can increase home values and reduce utility bills.

21 January 201413 September 2013Futuristic Concept for Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
The Dust Ball by Dave Hakkens takes robotic vacuums to the next level. Punt your vacuum and clean at the same time.
Dust Ball is a robot vacuum cleaner designed for public spaces. There are a lot of robot vacuum cleaners on the market designed for households. However they are fragile and not made to go over any cables, thresholds etc. This one had to be strong, industrial, flexible. However I did not want to give it an industrial/robot appearance. The Dust Ball comes complete with its very own charging dock. 16 April 201304 December 2012Painting Tips: Rubber Band Trick
Use a rubber band across the top of your paint container as a place to
wipe off excess paint from your brush. That way you are not wiping the
brush on the side of the can, making a messes. This way you can store the paint longer.
15 August 2012Use Your Car Alarm as a Home Security Panic Button
Thought this is a good tip to shared with others, if you find it
useful share it ..........
What to take to bed with you - not a joke . Pretty neat idea.
Put your car keys beside your bed at
night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your
neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl
at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys
beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home
or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic
button for your car alarm. The alarm will be set off, and the horn
will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car
battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch
coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you
start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security
alarm system that you probably already have and requires no
installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere
inside your house and will keep honking until your battery
runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob
chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If
your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into
your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.
After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out
their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the
criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys
while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work
the same way there. This is something that should really be
shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual
abuse crime.
Would also be useful for
any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a
phone.
Please shares this.

15 August 2010The Occo Seat Design
A minimalist furniture by Melisa Indra, the Occo Seat Design is both convenient and won't take up too much space.It's a combination of the modern design and the traditional Asian way of seating. The Occo consists of four circular shaped padded seating piled together on a shaft and a table top to form a composite piece as seen on the pictures. The padded seats can be removed from the shaft of the composite piece and shared with others. The sturdy table top can be used with the seats to complete the whole set.
It's a perfect piece of furniture for those that do not have enough space in their homes.
