FEGEITOK: 2:17am On Jul 08, 2023 |
I want to do what is called recessed curtains. I don't want to see any curtain rods above my windows. I also want my curtains to start from the recess in my ceiling to floor. I have a feeling that they look stately. Has anyone done something similar here? What considerations should I bear in mind as I embark on such a project?

FEGEITOK:I saw this little cute gadget on Amazon that one can attach on a curtain rod and it automatically draws the curtain by voice command or from phone. If you don’t have an exposed rod, you might not be able to adapt it here. |

FEGEITOK: Just give a recess of about 200-300mm from the wall to the start of the ceiling for easy installation n your ceiling board need to be thick so as to hold the curtain anchor and not drop later due to the thickness or weight of your curtain. |

bolu1986: My question is, how do you find enough space to nail or screw it to the wall, you can't possibly use a hammer or drilling machine in that little space up there 🤔 |

Olumighty123: Easy. I have installed a couple of motorize curtain in that kind of space… drilling machine will do the job |

At what point is it decided weather to add pillar with rod to a fence or to use block pillar, is it just majorly by choice or there is a structural rational to it?

Horlardorjah: You would normally screw the curtains anchor to the wall and not the ceiling/pop so the ceiling is safe and protected from dropping. |
Horlardorjah(m): 12:42pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
diordaves: Some are screwed to the ceiling sir, I know what I am talking about. |
diordaves(m): 12:43pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
FEGEITOK: Your POP design should accommodate the recession/grove from conception. You may even screw in the curtain braces/anchor in place before commencement of the pop installation. It is a straight forward process. |
diordaves(m): 1:17pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
Horlardorjah: I believe you. If this approach is adopted, there is the risk of dropping ceiling like you said. |

If you have 1,000,000 and decide to save to build a house by keeping it in the bank, thinking it will be sufficient for the type of home you want to build, you do not understand what inflation is because, in three years, you will need to find additional funds to add to that in addition to the rest you need to complete it. That is if you don’t spend recklessly cause you wouldn’t have 1,000,000 to begin with. Buildocrat gives you a disciplined approach to regularly accumulate building materials with any amount of money, which is far better than holding it in the bank or investing it in liquid assets where you can quickly withdraw it for emergencies.

sonnie10:Hi sir. Do you have any idea on how to get these doors to Abeokuta? I’m not around currently. The doors open to the left hand side. Yeah? |
sonnie10: 7:01pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
MrOkenwa:When you stand outside (approach) and open the door, it swings inside towards your left. In other words, when you are inside the house and open the door, it swings towards you to your right hand side. For transportation from Lagos , I would assume they will charge between 15- 20k. We can split that even. Fair enough? 1 Like |

rotecch77: Can this be done after plastering has been done? Or it had to be factored in from construction |

sonnie10: Thanks for sharing. I have nothing against curtain rods, I just want them out of sight. So I don't mind using curtain rods, but I don't want them visible. I also plan to automate the opening and closing of curtains. Watched a few videos on that. It is way cheaper to use curtain rods and hide them than buy those curtain track systems. |
