Segcymoor, where's the ante room? Wetin I wan take am do? With all the spaces shown here and there.

So unfortunate, I cannot do a walk through video for you until December.

The porch door opened directly into the dining, with the back parlor just to the right. Once you make it past the porch, you're more than a casual friend.

Pics: 30sqm Porch and Kitchen Dry Area in case you come in wet.

Imagine the possibility, imagine the savings. No plastering, no screeding, no painting = more $ to use on aesthetics.

Bulletproof doors
Burglaries
Aluminium windows

No escape route
A whole family and two visitors

Very sad.

We will not have security bars on our doors and windows, but we will have several measures in place to prevent being burglarized.

Regarding fire, we will have several fire extinguishers strategically placed throughout the house. We're even considering a sprinkler system overhead the kitchen and utility room.

agarawu23:
what if I decide not to do your own method especially a house that's fully completed and occupied? There is nothing impossible to me if we can make research


I'm not asking you to follow my method. I'm just telling you to think of the reason why you wanted an openable burglar proof is to have a means of escape in case there's fire.

However, isn't it far more better to think of how to prevent the spread of fire in the first place.

If it's a built up house, it won't be a bad idea to think of collapsible burglar proofs like the one Trellidoors is marketing

An Ante room is a space or lobby prior to the main area in the house.in such a way that door does not lead directly outside.

So what are we saying?

That's our dream. The design of our house depends heavily on exposed cement block. We're even considering polished concrete floors in the bathrooms.

What I'm saying is that I'm not having an ante because I don't want doors that lead directly outside my house.

I think different!

In pic attached, the visitor have their place outside. And the second pics shows the blind opened and a view of the out world from the settee. The cake was Val cake. Don't mind me!

So, for me, visitors are either in our out! Not in-between

Good ideas, mimics my plans also.

Prevention is ideal, sure, but proper response is also an important aspect.

It is my intention to have polished stained concrete floors throughout the house.

We think alike, or at least have similar taste cheesy

Nice! Initially I was thinking of ways to reduce the costs of building, but then we started falling in love with what we we're seeing with some of these unfinished materials.

Have you investigated how you will polish the floors? I'v asked some family members if it has been done, or if they know anyone that can do it and they said no. I also searched this site and found nothing.

I'm just going to kidnap one of the artisans that do outdoor concrete on here. Everyone I've asked thinks they can only do outside so I will show them how to do it. It's the same thing but curing times will be different.

Some of them do fantastic outdoor work.

You won't find much stepping out of the box ideas on here but I'm used to it. My courtyard as an example, I have only found one other person doing a very small one.

But don't be dissuaded, you can get a lot of things done.

Oga Segun,

I have never involved myself with anything that has to do with Brabus. But what you pointed out is very clear and his denying what is glaring is quite appalling. Sometimes, a man should apologize and if need be, clarify any thing that was misconstrued. I see no reason why he couldn't apologise then admit that it was later modified.
