Oh hi Jatin Shah, I see you have attached the drawings. I'm not really good at layout and architectural plans, just noticed your dilemma and wanted to tell you how you could attach the plans the others were asking for. I guess they have been busy with other things and didn't have time to come back to your question. I will say that the plans look too small to get a good idea of what is going on. If you can find a way to upload them so we can see them better... Maybe start a new dilemma with the larger plans attached. I hope people who know about these things will respond to your dilemma. Good luck!

Hi sriram227. Are there certain areas of the home you are looking to control? We would suggest evaluating what your needs are and what parts of the home you'd like to control. What we have found is that consumers are looking for solutions to specific areas of the home. With the garage door being the largest moving object in a home, and the front door for many families, we have developed a smart home technology, MyQ Garage. MyQ Garage is a simple DIY product that can be added to your existing garage door opener (check compatibility) and gives you control direct from your smartphone from anywhere. It provides a simple solution to an issue we have all faced, leaving the garage door open. Here is some additional information: http://www.chamberlain.com/smartphone-control-products/myq-garage. We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!

Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

first of all, Thank you guys for those valuable inputs. yes, as far as cleaning goes, its just been finished installing and I have asked them to clean them up. And also, I observed that the frosting on the glass didn't look that good, so I am going for the filming on certain portions of the doors n windows. - Is there a particular quality of films that I may choose for this ? - Yes, lighting is definitely the criteria I had in mind which can bring up the finish to this. And i am worried about this , as I did not go for False Roofing, bcos the ceiling is already at a low height. I should really refine my ideas on the lighting part. - the stairs are floored with white Marble stone..My mom loves it and the matting on it might hinder its beauty, but yes I will surely consider that as well. Thank you again.
