vickzie: I understand. The issue is that most of the folks here seemingly went tot he same school or for some reason the materials are not readily available here. These are some samples that I am still searching for someone to do.

n3xt: To the best of my knowledge it's all about being creative. It all gets down to how much one intends to spend in getting it done right. The option I described if done in an orderly manner and with a pre-cast slab will serve its purpose and also serve as added design on the plot while the other section takes the stamped concrete. All it takes is to make the plan(s) from the beginning on paper from the layout designs and follow accordingly. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2: The list of designs is endless. A not common design will mean the contractor will have to purchase the design mat or hire if possible to accomplish the work to be done. |

n3xt:I've been designing a particular landscape for the past one month, each problem I think would arise in the future, I look for a way to solve it in the design phase. As per ur relocation, installing this or something similar under ur hardscape during the construction phase would have prevented your current headache 2 Likes

EgunMogaji2: No. it is, we don't really separate toilet from bathroom over here, Baths are always attached with toilets, therefore, they go along with each other. Our definitions and interpretation too could be slightly different. 2 Likes |

I almost finished building my house. There are few questions remained, like choosing glass staircase to my living room. I've checked so many articles about building own house/design attributes and staircasedesign recommended some options to choose. I guess I would check some of their interesting reviews even more often. 1 Like |
