The previously linked sets were smaller and perhaps easier to integrate into some tile work, but this version of the same idea comes in more of a standard brick size - and in the end, the more options the better, really. From the site:

Flush-to-the-ground, integral solar panels generate up to 8 hours of light each night. So guests can follow a cheerfully illuminated path to your door...Sun Bricks come on automatically when darkness falls, and incur no operating costs. Just recess them in your walkway, and forget them!

Via PopGadget]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Solar-Powered-Sun-Bricks arch kits we've seen, this one by Creative Corners looks like it may be the easiest to install, at least judging by the quick four step process outlined on their site. The company lists four arch sets, three of which come in two corner pieces, and the forth being a full, one piece arch. ]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Another-Doorway-Arch-Kit
ExtremeTech.com walks you through the creation of just such a device with this tutorial on creating a handy RFID access controller for the front door of your home. This is a very nice, detailed tutorial that includes a parts list, tool list, software and schematics. The project looks pretty intensive, so set aside a good chunk of time to see it to completion.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/DIY-RFID-Access-to-your-Front-Door Hidden Door Company, but we hadn't realised that HiddenPassageway.com was out there competing for your secret room renovation dollars as well. The company seems to offer doors with more integrated technology and electronics, with specialty switches, biometrics, custom setups and whatnot. Their site has a few videos of their products in action as well.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Hidden-Doors-and-Secret-Passageways before, doorway arch kits seem like an easy way to make a doorway look a lot less cookie cutter while adding some extra character to your home. Although, as easy as the Insta Arch kit may be to install, the 15 minutes that the company is claiming it takes to do the job seems like a bit of a stretch, especially if you've seen their pictorial step-by-step instructions. That's not to imply that the installation would be difficult, but for a first time installer, 15 minutes seems a little optimistic, to say the least. ]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Doorway-Arch-Kit-by-Insta-Arch

The SolarCap Lighting system consists of modular, self-contained lighting devices that can be used for decorative or traffic flow purposes -- powered only by solar energy. These unique devices incorporate the newest "EnergyCache" technology for energy storage, instead of the high maintenance rechargeable batteries that are currently used in solar devices. Unlike batteries which must be changed every two to three years and cannot tolerate environmental extremes, EnergyCaches enable SolarCap lighting to be used in any environment without maintenance for more than 10 years with a wide operating temperature range of -13°F -140°F (-25°C - 60°C). ]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Outdoor-SolarCap-Light-Emitting-Tiles Gutter Stuff is a clever product that is so simple that it will leave many wondering how it was that they didn't think it up themselves. The product is a non-absorbent foam filler that fits in your roof's gutter, allowing water to drain out as normal while preventing leaves or unwanted debris from settling in. Check out the Gutter Stuff movie (direct link) for a demo.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Clever-Foam-Eavestrough-Filler CurveMakers.com offers these clever doorway arch kits. Modern homes are rarely built with doorway arches, which were much more common in the past. Arches offer so much character but usually require some significant renovation dollars. These kits, which are reasonably priced, allow any standard doorway to be made to look more elegant and unique. Very nice.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Cool-Doorway-Arch-Kit
