Today’s outdoor amenities go far beyond the traditional grill and deck. The latest for the backyard include an all-weather, permanent installation outdoor television, as well as outdoor cabinets and outdoor carpeting that looks like it came straight out of a living room. See how sleek and stylish auto body finishes are now being used for kitchen cabinetry. Inspired by the designer of Ferrari performance cars, this cabinetry handles fingerprints, is dent-resistant and puts a kitchen on the fast track to style. Also included in this episode is the WeatherHawk, a system that monitors the weather from the backyard and beams constant live information to your home computer. Hook the WeatherHawk up to a home automation system and it will actually become a personal house sitter, performing tasks such as closing shutters when wind speeds exceed a certain limit or turning off the lawn sprinkler when it starts to rain.
