@EgunMogaji, let's talk about the old barn doors. I'm working on one presently at NextHome H52 |

brabus: I like them and the plan is to use them in every opening that has a slide able space. Pros: Saves space as you don't have to leave room for the door swing. You can use the same wooden door slab in most cases. Cons: Hardware price but I'm going to bring a sample to my iron guy in Nigeria to see if he can duplicate. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 2:41pm On Jan 29, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: The Cons are no big deal. I just read up a blog online that instruct you on how to use skate board tires. 2 Likes

brabus: Sweet. I like. The one thing I wish for is the ability for the doors to be linked. So when you slide one door the other does the same. Will require chain and pulley or internal gears, def more complicated. Just a thought. 1 Like |

brabus: Na ideas o my oga. I use them as comedic relief which is what it is to me As you can see all of them combined can't put me down. During all of this another member realize that he can combine US locks with Nigeria doors. Success. Some motivate, some denigrate, I'll rather motivate and whomever is intimidated by me can go eat a 45 slug or pokunso |

babalose: Your enquiry seems to be mission impossible through nairaland. I am at a crossroad finding a very good aluminium profile for window. These tiny aluminium profiles available in Nigeria don't cut it for me. |

Dominionng: To answer your questions. The depth can be more than 600mm if you wish, but the standard (general depth) is 600. This allows for convince in use. For concrete, I guess 100mm should be good for you. As we don't advise or use concrete slabs. I guess you would have done your plumbing and other services before constructing your concrete slab. The gas duct should have been provided as well. There is no issue about your cylinder location. Just lay a 1.5 inch pipe in the wall which your gas pipe will be passed through. The pvc pipe can be directed somewhere outside the kitchen where the gas cylinders will be. Standard height for a kitchen worktop is 900mm. You are correct. There are various sizes for free standing cookers. From 500mm, 600mm, 900mm and 1000mm. It all depends on the type of cooker you intend to use in the kitchen. My take is this, you can get good granite top for your kitchen top which will serve you better and look neater than any concrete worktop. We hope we have been able to answer some of your questions.
