This is a “Great one day DIY” projects A couple helpful pointers for better results and Kitchen Hardware recommendations:

Your cabinets need to be solid wood and not veneer otherwise you could sand right through the veneer. You can’t use any old paint or stain. You need some high quality stuff with an enamel hardener otherwise it will look like crap…not to mention that painting them with a brush is not a good way to do it. Recommend using a drawer handle drilling jig to put on the hardware…otherwise, good luck getting them lined up correctly.

The hardware you select for your cabinetry should reflect the overall style of your kitchen. There are four main categories of kitchen cabinet hardware: traditional, contemporary, transitional

And it is perfect for on the go biking, walking or outdoors – regardless of the surroundings – heavy traffic or zooming down a hill with the wind howling, this thing cranks out plenty of good quality sound.

The instructions are not very good in explaining how to connected to Alexa. What must be done was first, is to connect the DOSS E-go to your phone via Bluetooth, then download the DOSS E-go app and open app, you must wait for a minute or two for it paired. Once paired, click on the Amazon Alex login button in the app. Once this is done you can click on the microphone icon in the app to ask Alexa questions or play music or you can press the microphone button on DOSS E-go.

Kindle Oasis E-reader– Waterproof – Latest Kindle Version

Now comes the advances of the Oasis, which retains a 7? screen size, but perfected its size even further where it can be easily held in one hand. It light, thin and small case is a great new feature. Some were disappointed about the battery being split between the Oasis and its cover.

The new Oasis finally brings a fully waterproof device that most customers wished they had with the Voyage, and are really appreciating the Audible integration.

Amazon Kindle Voyage – Upgrade from paperwhite

The Voyage is a huge improvement in both clarity of text and conformity of screen lighting over the first generation Paperwhite. The screen is beautiful and the resolution lets you read at the smallest font possible while still having each letter look as crisp as a printed book.  There is an improvement on a battery life. And the higher DPI of the display is noticeably smoother with better contrast to the previous Kindles. The return of the page turn buttons on the bezel is a nice addition.

Best for Audiobooks: Amazon Fire HD 8 with Alexa (8″ HD Display Tablet)

The beauty of the Amazon Fire HD 8 is that when your eyes get tired of reading (which is probably due to the fact that this tablet lacks E Ink like the Kindles), you can switch to listening to your book. Thanks to integration with Audible and Amazon Alexa, you can say “Alexa, read Mission Impossible,” and she will pick up reading right where you left off. You can also ask her to pause, resume and skip ahead. Existing Audible members who have credits can purchase books simply by asking Alexa to read a book they don’t yet own, while non-members can purchase from the Amazon or Audible website.

Barnes and Noble Nook Glowlight Plus

It is amazingly easy to set up. It is light and easy to hold. There are different text size options, so customizing your preferences can be easily done.  The lighting is perfectly displayed for ease of reading. Reading in the sun or in the darkness has no affect on the quality of the screen. The device is perfect for night reading eliminating the need for a bedside lamp so disturbing someone else is not a problem. The device is water and dust proof, ideal for an outdoor lifestyle.

Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell in Satin Nickel

Ring Video Door Bell Reviews

The Ring video doorbell is a solid choice for people looking to get into smart home technology, and provides security, peace of mind, and ease of use that is not present in many other options at this price point.

Communication:

This works, but your mileage may vary. You will need to have a very solid WiFi connection to the Ring, so make sure it is close enough to one of your WiFi points (or an extender/Chime Pro) so that it can handle an audio and video stream. It can take a few seconds to establish the connection if you’re powering it from a battery, causing a slight delay when trying to see motion/ring activity or speak with someone at the camera.

GET INSTANT ALERTS:

This works flawlessly for me – when it works. I get motion and doorbell alerts instantaneously, notifying me of movement on my porch or visitors/delivery people pressing the button to ring the doorbell. I have to admit that Ring sometimes misses motion on my porch, but this is due to sensitivity and zone settings, which I must finely tune due to my proximity to a busy street. Those located away from busy streets will likely not have this problem.

WATCH IN CRYSTAL-CLEAR HD VIDEO:

Ring falls short here. While it is technically HD at 720p, it looks much lower quality in my installed location. It is not terribly grainy or pixellated, but it is not video quality worthy of preservation or bragging. It does the job, but the promotional videos you see on TV or their website are not indicative of the actual video quality you will experience. I’ll sum it up as “fine.”

PROTECT YOUR HOME WITH INFRARED VISION:

Reliably switches between infrared and no infrared depending on ambient lighting. A noticeable clicking sound occurs when the camera begins recording at night, which I have seen scare away someone thinking about lurking on my porch. It is loud enough to be heard outside near a busy street, but does not detract from the experience.

Kindle Oasis E-Reader Fully Immersible Save

Kindle Oasis E-Reader Fully Immersible Save

Each generation has been a further refinement of Amazon’s design philosophy for Kindle: by making the device a more comfortable experience for the reader. First they did it by trimming the size and weight. Then came the illuminated screen, eliminating the need for separate lights. Then the Voyager version further reduced the size and weight, while adding auto-adjusting illumination.

Now comes the advances of the Oasis, which retains a 7″ screen size, but perfected its size even further where it can be easily held in one hand. It light, thin and small case is a great new feature. Some grumbled about the battery being split between the Oasis and its cover, but the 2016 Oasis came the closest yet to disappearing while reading.

The new Oasis finally brings a fully waterproof device that most customers wished they had with the Voyage, and are really appreciating the Audible integration.

The device has more control you can easily grip the unit with one hand using the hump on the back and then use your other hand just to support the other edge. This allows you to access the page turn buttons with your thumb. You can also flip the unit upside down if you’d like to hold it with your other hand and the display will flip accordingly so your book is always right side up.

Kindle Oasis E-Reader Fully Immersible

First off, the build quality is great; there is no question that this is a premium device. Navigating through the menus and screens is super snappy. Having more screen real-estate is great, especially with how much sharper it is than the screen on my aging Paperwhite. The LEDs illuminate the screen with perfect evenness.  The touch screen is very responsive. This is an unexpected improvement over my Paperwhite. The new Oasis is also considerably lighter in the hand than my Paperwhite.
