you should see the tiles and the kitchen layout, full teak and marble combination. even the ceiling panels were teak, all cupboards,draws,etc in teak,,no other type of timber was even allowed on the compound (fear of termite infestation)

house also has an elevator, attic with hideaway staircase, every bathroom has a jacuzzi eh,,,plus lots more.

Casfab are one of the best metal door fabricators
you would need a proper drawing for them though.
they made these doors. the glass part can also open like a window.

I saw the ad in the express today, it is not in classified but a little 2inch ad somewhere around 1/3 of papers.

Don't forget to move your electrical meter from the front of the house.

moving an electrical meter can very expensive - the cost of the wire alone

I hope you are putting guttering on the roof and running the spouting to the 4" PVC also because if you cover over those drains in the front and down the driveway you will have ALOT of rain water flowing down your driveway and staying in the yard instead of finding the drain and exiting the yard.

The Clark Drain covers would have been ideal and they have stainless, galvanized, brass, copper and black steel finishes.

If you bury those drains in your front yard all the water will go into the garden area and flood it. Don't underestimate the work those drains are doing right now, especially without guttering.

don't be shocked, bhagwansingh and roopnarine have doors for that price and MORE, normel normel


i recently installed 5 doors for my pal which cost him 210k for one eh, i must admit the doors are really beautiful,safe,14 locking bolts all around each door,metal but plastic/sheet coated in mahogany/teak color/patterns.


ppl use 4" schedule 40 pvc pipes as underground drainage channels, but they dont secure it eg: lean concrete reinforced with #35 brc mesh surround to the pvc, so eventually it loses the form(crushes and clogs).

jsr, why all the surface electrics? why not notch the wall and have them in there?

soon i will upload some pdf drawings of architectural designs that i did,



wait what ? 210K ? honestly i find that hard to beleive i'm not doubting the price but it ranks unbelievable in my books

^ definitely not my style
the stone work around it is nice though

I want to get rid of the burglar proofing in front the door all together and have a door that is secure enough to not need burglar proofing.

and I dont want to put the burglar proofing on the inside.

I know you said you don't want burglar proofing on the inside, but if it isn't the main entrance consider a bar behind the door. Btw nice house, looks clean and simple.

the stone work is actually a coral mortar that was plastered on the walls and then a special technique to give it the porous effect.....

those glass doors are actually very easy to break open, hence the reason we put the burglar proof...as well as the "steel doors are made of 3/16" steel and the space made up with a type of laminate......also the strip between em could be easily removed and the locks picked....

Duane, there is a place San F'do by the cross where Royal Castle was that has security doors. Metal ones with defferant colours and comes with locks and security bolts real nice.....Single door around 3k-4k, double 6k-10k, even has the security glass.
One door i like was the single with the extra panel that can open to bring big stuff in the housel.

Its not so much about the door being secure because as you already know, any good hardwood of suffifient thickness would work, but more about the hinges and door frame to support the weight.

Duane, I must say well done... That's probably 1 of just a handful of Trini houses that I actually like. Most of the other houses I've seen are very overdone with outrageous colors & more bling than an Almera at a MK show. You took the design term "less is more" and applied it very well. Chain gutter idea is also very clever

very nice ! 8-)


who really likes having burglar proofing on his house - we never had any til some1 broke in back in d mid 90s & we were forced to install it , in these times is better u still have b\proof even though u have a "strong door" - tief will find a way to break in , put it on d inside so it wont spoil d look of ur home , i sure u all heard of ppl being cleaned out due to break ins - who wants that to happen at d expense of looks ... :|
