erico2k2: Yea, the burglary proof you install when building to budget. I'll try and show you one of the furnished apartment, I didn't even see the burglar proof again. One of those areas where we need to get our priorities right in a build-to-budget projects. |

kopell: Looks very good, one of the regrets I have was not using 9 inchers for my fence. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by kopell: 8:00pm On May 03, 2016 |
Empiree:No, I mean the entire building in and out including the fence. |

erico2k2: Pics of the windows while furnished. Even at the moment, the interior is super wow and there was no sense of intrusion of privacy in any of the rooms. The rooms were well lighted by way of natural lighting at daytime

kopell:Wait, let me understand you. You seem to be talking about building a house and fence it out, and you looking for who to give the job, correct? Or you talking about the one i posted? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:14pm On May 03, 2016 |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:15pm On May 03, 2016 |
erico2k2: 6 inch blocks. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:16pm On May 03, 2016 |
Empiree: It's just a personal preference thing for me. I'm going to be running cables through it which means weakening it a bit. |

Lower Windows have different applications in different builds. One of the most lovely view on my chateau is the kitchen glass block window which is 1/2 block from natural ground level. The reflection of lights from the kitchen dry area into the flower trough at night is very lovely. It's just about the right amount of light required which was later supported with solar garden lights. The same thing applies to the Windows at the porch which takes cue from TV reflections in the main lounge. These things have functions. Pics - different types of Windows in my chateau. 1 Like

n3xt:Ok cool but if you was living in the west that wont be approved, unless you get laminated glass .but I get the idea,we def need more natural light and ventilation. But regards the burglary proof, what do you think if we invest that money into toughened glass? |

erico2k2: Toughened Wetin? Ask FastShipping and Babalose |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:34pm On May 03, 2016 |
Guys I have a quagmire. It's getting time for my padlock chicken coop to get adorned with windows. I'm thinking of doing the embedded security bar thing but it's keeping me awake at night as I can't in good faith our non removable steel bars on the Windows thereby trapping residents. I know we discussed this in passing many pages ago but have anyone visited this issue recently? The best idea I have is the sliding accordion looking one. Any thoughts. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 8:41pm On May 03, 2016 |
erico2k2: I know. That's why I drag babalose into this. There's a plan to build something like an infinity pool from his main lounge to the perimeter wall. What this mean is that we need a clear (unobstructed 2.4m high by 6m wide glass) glass from the main lounge overlooking the pool. The bill of the glass is even more than the pool. Some cool ideas are flowing but the cost implication is an overkill especially on item like glass. Though we are exploring other options atm. 3M Window Film is also a cool option but my guys want something more secure than that. |

n3xt:Noted but on the flip side,SAFETY FIRST.No job is too important that you might not take time to do it safely says my boss. |
