With the little I know about architecture, I know that you live in your house the way u want it. You can have an anteroom if you want. If you do not want it, fine.

All we must know is that as an architect, you should be able to give an unbiased explanation about the functions of each part of the house. This will thus enable the client make. Decision as to how useful each spaces are and how to draw out a scale of preference that suits his needs and the space available. Because trust me, all these spaces have their uses, be it functionly or aesthetically

Then to bros Egunmogajji that doesn't like round pillars and archs. Me too. I do not like them but that doesn't mean they aren't nice. You need to see those buildings in Rome and Venice . I am not sure I know of any modern architecture that Appeals to me more that those. So that also Boils down to what you like and what you don't.

Bottom line is we all have the way we want our things. And we all should leave in it the way we want to.

Bros, did you say link? No o but I'll try get the details of the contact and post it here.

Oga Skimanski,
They normally air-dry the woods for several weeks before selling/using them. Apart from that, I've seen some 18ft logs that are very straight in ondo and Benin. I didn't take cognizance of this at all. I would have keep a very good record of their contact.

Sometimes in 2013, I posted this pic below from a project I did in diamond estate, sangotedo. The woods are cedar and they were air-dried (according the installer) in Mushin.

Give me some time to get the contact details.
I would really appreciate That a Lot. I need their contact this period Got a lot of Interior Design works coming Up

The idea is that if these woods used for the FRame works of the Designs aren't Straight, then our Ply-board and finished Product will look terrible and hence defeat the Idea of the Design

Treated woods right? Haa! Passing a camel through needle eye is easier than this. Sorry I just jumped on the thread.

Though, there are wood processing factories in ondo where you can get those straight wood but most of the places I know, they export their woods.
Hmm Straight Wood Wahala. I taught I was the Only one having sleepless Night Over this Issue. Its my everyday Prayer Point. Infact Look and the Possibility of Importing a Machine that will be solving that Problem for me.

Had to do a Living room Design for a Client Of recent and my carpenter guy traveled the whole town looking for Straight wood, which he eventually had to go machine it himself to ensure the accurate Straightness.

I also share these exact sentiments, how about my barbed wires, where will they be rooted if I don't have my concrete coping?
Those ones can be Casted in some Hollow sections of the Fence Block Links and the Height Calculated before the Design is Done or Can still be done Properly after the Design, before you block off the Top
