baba, its not a waste of money if the water were channelled to a tank for use. Many do that to reduce the amount of water touching their building below and that's why u see most houses with tiles or granite below their building.
Collecting water?what about if you are from area where you got to much water ie my area?
Regards water touching your build. That will happen cos of wind.
Water collector is good when you can channel the water to a mains like in the pics shown previously.

with all due respect.
Where did you see quarrel.
In as much as I like to ask questions, for my benefit and or the benefit of others. I don't have any problems on my site that I need his input, Is it by force to have a problem ?

The only problem I can think of is that of the fake building approval, and after the next 5 weeks, the question I have for him is when the next payment Will be due, I don't mean payment due on Monday being paid on Wednesday !!

we are saying the same thing, the water should be channeled.

But u should know rain dropping from the roof touching our buildings below is higher than the volume carried by wind. smiley

Oh yeh U def need to collect water
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 5:37pm On Jun 19, 2016
For rentals, it makes no difference IMO.
Sentimental thinking, I can see why people who can afford it might choose to have one installed.

I have one question for the house, does the rain water collection help with a situation where wind is blowing water towards the external walls or this makes no difference. Just a thought.


danowena:




I don't know if this issue has been addressed, pardon me if it has. Of what use is the water collector on the roof aside from aesthetics? I live in a house with one and still do not see the essence when it rains. It prevents the heavy flow from hitting the ground directly? When it's not as if the water is channelled to a tank or container for future use. The water still gets to the ground anyway . Is it wise to use it on a rental property? Does it add any rental value?

@Brabus....stop all this drama. Maverick was once your client and from your conversation, you once had a cordial business relationship with him, even though you might have fallen out. He gave you business which you made profit, he introduced other customers to you, atleast that should account for something. Being a builder is a professional service based business. Your customers pay for your service and they have a right to be grieved, if they feel they are not getting there money's worth. You should be motivated by peace and not confrontation. Do you thrive on leaving a bitter taste on all your former clients. Iron out your differences with him in subtle way, tomorrow your service might be needed for something bigger or a new client might be inspired to work with you because of your professionalism and people skills.

No it doesn't help cos u can't control the water carried by wind to your walls, But u can control the ones dropping from your roof. Have u asked yourself why ppl tile their buildings below? Rain droppings from your roof will weak your buildings gradually. It will start from soaking your paints and plasters will start pulling off gradually.

Openable Local Burglar Proof | Idea


Design by Breachwood Interiors


@Brabus:

What makes this Burglar proof SPECIAL and DIFFERENT from what other have done or have been doing?

What are your / (should be our) YARDSTICK for judging it and saying "this is SPECIAL"?

Is it just because it is "openable"?

How does it open?

Thanks,

I just laugh.
It was actually his idea, he came up with it and I will provide evidence.
how many builders are sleeping on on NL instead of actually building houses. How many times do our see sege, skimanski, spyder spend the amount for time you spend here talking rubbish or hailing the chateau in the bush. They are busy doing good things for themselves, did I make the mistake of calling bosun a builder ? Lol

The other day egun molested him, he came to me crying for help. Egun molestation is just the beginning. My dossier is nearly complete.

I never termed it special. It's just another burglar proof protector just that's it's openable.

No..No! I am the one that termed it special! see rt of the statement in bracket, in my post.



I just want us to discuss it.

I want to see if there is something different in it, that l can take away.

@Brabus: Remember l said l was on a quest to build an "Iron Window Burglarproof" that does all the job it is supposed to do, while not imprisoning the occupants at the same time, in situation of emergency? Am still on it. undecided undecided

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 6:27pm On Jun 19, 2016
Maybe it's thrash info. That has little or no value.
Meanwhile, where is the Egun thread on how to select a builder? I wonder if it has any new stuff on it. I wonder if Bosun Shoyoye has come to DOBALE / prostrate for egun

Here's a sliding burglary from my rented apartment in 2000s
.

Brabus,

This idea is superb.... compared to using hinges.

But the question still remains "How does it fulfil the other requirements".... to make it stand-out?

Dont forget, l am on a quest to find "something better that the usual", that crosses all t's and dots all i's

Use of a sliding mechanism is a plus, in my own understanding.

@Brabus.....this openable buglary proof is a compulsion in every home. I believe that atleast one or two must be openable in a home and[b] it must be easy to open by anyone in the house not like the types that have padlock. [/b]The sliding buglary doesn't look appealing to me too. That's why I am fascinated with this thread because of the wealth of information that flows through often. Keep the ideas flowing.


Babalose

Thank you Babalose!

The bolded above is our yardstick for success: To design a Burglarproof that does the basic job of "SECURITY".... while at the same time fulfilling the requirements of SAFETY. Aesthetics is a bonus..

Thank you Brabus.

But please, dont just show me pictures of Burglar proof (l can self-search for those on the internet! undecided ).

What l want yo to please contribute on, is how to make it fulfil the requirements, as highlighted in Babalose's post that l responded to.

Lets share a "meaningful and creative design discussion" on that.


I know you have brilliant ideas at times.

You have so much to offer this thread due to your zealous commitment to showcasing innovative idea that inspire us all. Keep the info and concepts flowing about the openable buglary proof.

If I am reading this correctly then we also need to be aware of the wind picking up the roof like a sail it the hang is too much.
