Erik has created the perfect size half-court. At 30 feet in depth and 46 feet wide he is able to get all of the three point line all the way across. The white striping gives competitive players point of reference while practicing. A very well done court. Great job Erik!

Corbett has done a great job with his court taking full advantage of the Diamond's five foot extension arm allowing for a regulation baseline in front of the main pole. He has painted the key, three point line and boundary lines in red for good contrast making this a competitive player's dream practice court.

Meet the Pros: Sound Design
To celebrate it's 20th anniversary, Sound Design built a 6,500-square-foot showroom in Horseshoe Bay, Texas to demo technology in a "relaxing, luxurious ambience that appeals to our local clientele."
“We’ve learned a lot over the years, and our experience helped us design the new showroom in a way that presents a relaxing, luxurious ambience that appeals to our local clientele,” says Sound Design owner Chris Bean. “We used the best-of-the-best in every category, from the Runco 63-inch plasma TV framed and hidden by a VisionArt motorized art print to the ultra-high-end CAT MBX Sequoia speakers and of course the ELAN g! system.”
The showroom’s entrance living room features A/V and lighting control from an Elan TS10 10-inch in-wall touchscreen, an Elan TS2 in-wall touchscreen and Elan HR2 handheld remote. The system distributes audio and video content to a system consisting of a Runco V63 63-inch plasma display, a Planar 2×3 Matrix Wall with six 46-inch panels, a Planar Mosaic wall with four 46-inch panels and four 15-inch square panels, a two-channel audio system that uses two 7-foot-tall CAT MBX Sequoia’s, and a surround system that includes an Integra DTR 50.4 receiver, Newport speakers and two Sunfire HRS-12 subwoofers.
“Many of our clients are tech-savvy homeowners who have become mobile tech enthusiasts through their everyday interactions with iPhones and tablets, and they want that same instant satisfaction to apply to their household media and home functions,” says Bean. “Just a few years ago, the most common client request was for an amazing home theater to enjoy the newest DVDs or Blu-rays. Consumer culture is now moving beyond just high-quality audio and video and our clients are demanding easy, fast, total control of everything in the home from their touch panels, smartphone or tablet.”
The most unique part of the new showroom, Bean says, will be the 640-square-foot simulation room, which is still under construction. Featuring AboutGolf’s newest three-projector continuous curve screen golf simulator, a LaserShot shooting simulator with five-channel surround and 30 competitive games for two players, and a VRX iMotion triple-LCD display driving & flight simulator, this room is a virtual playground.
“The simulation room is a step forward for CI showroom design and for our company, and it allows us to open the imagination of our clients to show them that anything is possible,” says Bean. “Homeowners in Horseshoe Bay are all about recreation and a luxury lifestyle, so we wanted to show the unique ways people could enhance their home’s fun factor. From controlling lighting, heating and surveillance cameras on an iPhone to a hyper-realistic golf simulator that makes you feel like you’re really teeing off on the course, our Horseshoe Bay showroom is as state-of-the-art as it can be.”
Sound Design also built a commercial-quality home theater that uses a Display Development HD3 projector, a 184-inch Stewart Filmscreen Luxus Deluxe screen, a Kaleidescape M300 player connected to a Kaleidescape CinemaOne server in the lobby, a Theta Casablanca III preamp/processor, Theta Compli-blu Blu-ray player, a PrimaCinema server, and a bevy of California Audio Technology speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers.

Sound Design Builds State-of-the-Art Showroom for 20th Anniversary
To celebrate it's 20th anniversary, Sound Design built a 6,500-square-foot showroom in Horseshoe Bay, Texas to demo technology in a "relaxing, luxurious ambience that appeals to our local clientele."
Sound Design, a custom installer with offices in Horseshoe Bay and Lakeway, Texas, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in a big way: with the opening of a 4,500-square-foot showroom on April 1, 2013.
The state-of-the-art space will be a “veritable candy land” that includes Elan g!, Planar, Runco, Sunfire and many more top-of-the-line brands.

In recent years, the way people watch television has changed dramatically. Traditional cable and satellite subscriptions are gradually being replaced by modern streaming technologies that offer greater flexibility, more content, and better accessibility. Among the growing number of IPTV solutions available today, Hakuna TV, also known as Hakuna IPTV, is becoming a popular choice for users looking for a premium streaming experience at home.
With the rapid development of smart TVs, high-speed internet connections, and streaming devices, IPTV services have become an essential part of modern home entertainment systems. Hakuna TV provides access to thousands of international channels, live sports events, movies, and on-demand content — all through a simple internet connection.
This new generation of television allows viewers to enjoy content anytime, anywhere, without the limitations of traditional broadcasting.
What Is IPTV and How Does It Work?
IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television, a technology that delivers television content over the internet instead of through satellite signals or cable networks.
Unlike traditional television services, IPTV streams content directly to devices such as:
- Smart TVs
- Streaming boxes
- Smartphones
- Tablets
- Computers
Services like Hakuna IPTV make it possible to centralize all entertainment in one place, offering a wide range of international channels and media libraries.
Why Modern Homes Are Switching to IPTV
As homes become increasingly connected and digital, many families are upgrading their entertainment systems to include smart TVs and streaming platforms. IPTV fits perfectly into this modern ecosystem.
There are several reasons why IPTV services such as Hakuna TV are gaining popularity among viewers worldwide:
1. Unlimited Content Variety
Traditional cable television often limits viewers to a fixed selection of channels. IPTV services, however, provide access to thousands of international channels from different countries.
With Hakuna IPTV, users can explore content from across the globe including:
- International television channels
- Sports broadcasts
- Movies and series
- News and documentaries
- Entertainment channels
2. Perfect for Sports and Football Fans
Sports are among the most watched television programs worldwide, and football remains the most popular sport in Europe and many other regions.
Many IPTV users choose services like Hakuna TV specifically for sports coverage. With the right IPTV setup, viewers can watch major sporting events, international leagues, and tournaments in high-quality streaming.
Football fans especially appreciate having access to a wide range of sports channels that broadcast games from different competitions.
With a reliable IPTV provider, fans no longer have to miss important matches.
3. Seamless Integration with Smart TVs
One of the biggest advantages of IPTV services is compatibility with modern smart TVs and streaming devices.
Hakuna IPTV works with many popular platforms including:
- Samsung Smart TVs
- LG Smart TVs
- Android TV devices
- Amazon Fire Stick
- Android smartphones and tablets
Instead of installing complex satellite equipment, viewers simply install an IPTV player and enter their account credentials.
Within minutes, the entire entertainment library becomes available.
A New Era of Home Entertainment
Modern living spaces increasingly revolve around digital technology and connected devices. From smart lighting systems to intelligent speakers and streaming platforms, homes today are designed to offer convenience and entertainment.
In this environment, IPTV services like Hakuna TV play an important role by simplifying how people access television content.
Rather than relying on traditional broadcast infrastructure, IPTV allows viewers to enjoy their favorite shows and sports events with just an internet connection.
This technology also allows for:
- faster channel switching
- improved streaming quality
- greater flexibility for viewers
Easy Setup and Installation
Another advantage of IPTV services is their simplicity.
Setting up Hakuna TV typically requires only a few steps:
- Install an IPTV player on the device
- Enter the account credentials
- Start streaming immediately
This ease of installation makes IPTV accessible to a wide range of users.
High-Quality Streaming Experience

Sound Design Marks 20 Years with ELAN-Centered Showroom
By RS Staff March 12,2013
Marking 20 years of success and growth in Texas as a custom installation firm, Sound Design is opening a new state-of-the-art home technology showroom in the resort community of Horseshoe Bay, TX on April 1.
Sound Design showroom
The new 4,500 square foot showroom puts the ELAN g! Entertainment and Control System on the main stage, according to owner Chris Bean, who wants to make sure that it is the first thing clients experience when they walk into the entrance living room.
“What better way to celebrate our 20th year as Texas’ premier custom installation firm than to open a beautiful new showroom with all the latest home technologies?” Bean said. “We’ve learned a lot over the years, and our experience helped us design the new showroom in a way that presents a relaxing, luxurious ambience that appeals to our local clientele. We used the best-of-the-best in every category, from the Runco 63-inch plasma TV framed and hidden by a VisionArt motorized art print to the ultra-high-end CAT MBX Sequoia speakers and of course the ELAN g! System.
"We have another showroom in Lakeway, TX where we’ve been showing off ELAN g! since the system debuted in 2010. When we first got into custom home installation, multi-room audio and video systems were the biggest client request. Today, we are increasingly finding that homeowners and homebuyers are as interested in complete home control as they are in their TVs and music, if not more so. Expandable, easy to use control systems that utilize mobile devices and simplify home living are going to be major sales drivers of the future for both the CI industry and the home building industry.
ELAN g! System
The showroom offers a tour of top-of-the-line home electronics, starting with the entrance living room that features AV and lighting control from an ELAN TS10 10-inch in-wall touchscreen, an ELAN TS2 in-wall touchscreen and an ELAN HR2 handheld remote. The system distributes audio and video content to a system consisting of a Runco V63 63-inch plasma display, a Planar 2x3 Matrix Wall with six 46-inch panels, a Planar Mosaic wall with four 46-inch panels and four 15-inch square panels, a two-channel audio system that uses two 7-foot-tall CAT MBX Sequoia’s, and a surround system that includes an Integra DTR 50.4 receiver, Newport speakers and two Sunfire HRS-12 subwoofers.
“Many of our clients are tech-savvy homeowners who have become mobile tech enthusiasts through their everyday interactions with iPhones and tablets, and they want that same instant satisfaction to apply to their household media and home functions. We’re using the ELAN g! System to show them that home control can be just as easy as using an iPhone,” Bean said. “Just a few years ago, the most common client request was for an amazing home theater to enjoy the newest DVDs or Blu-Rays. Consumer culture is now moving beyond just high-quality audio and video and our clients are demanding easy, fast, total control of everything in the home from their touch panels, smartphone or tablet. ELAN g! does it in spades, and for many clients it’s simply the best choice out there.”
The most unique part of the new showroom is the 640 square foot Simulation Room. Featuring AboutGolf’s newest three-projector continuous curve screen golf simulator, a LaserShot shooting simulator with five-channel surround and 30 competitive games for two players, and a VRX iMotion triple-LCD display driving & flight simulator, this room is literally a virtual playground. Bean wanted to show that he’s an outside-the-box thinker, and that, in this resort community, there is a custom installation professional that can bring dreams to life.
“The Simulation Room is a step forward for CI showroom design and for our company, and it allows us to open the imagination of our clients to show them that anything is possible. Homeowners in Horseshoe Bay are all about recreation and a luxury lifestyle so we wanted to show the unique ways people could enhance their home’s fun factor. From controlling lighting, heating and surveillance cameras on an iPhone to a hyper-realistic golf simulator that makes you feel like you’re really teeing off on the course, our Horseshoe Bay showroom is as state-of-the-art as it can be.”
Sound Design also built a commercial quality home theater that uses a Display Development HD3 projector, a 184-inch Stewart Filmscreen Luxus Delux screen, A Kaleidescape M300 player connected to a Kaleidescape CinemaOne server in the lobby, a Theta Casablanca III preamp/processor, Theta Compli-blu Blu-ray player, a PrimaCinema server, and a bevy of California Audio Technology speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option!
