20 viewsThe vertical supporting rebar structure has be wired on. The height of the structure depends on the roof height of the house. For an average house the columns are 3 meters tall (above ground) for an overall height of 4 meters.

The vertical metal supports are created from rebar. The vertical long strands are 4 hun full. The horizontal support pieces are typically 3 hun full. This is the structure you see in the following photo which will later have cement poured around it and form the foundation column.

20 viewsMost metal companies do screen doors. They will come and measure and install either a sliding or push to open door like this one.

20 viewsThere are two basic types of hung ceilings, one being sheetrock and the other made from prefabricated ceiling tiles. The prefabricated tiles are easier as far as maintenance since they are not permanently affixed and can be adjusted as required. Each tile is supported in a square frame. Should a tile break or discolor, it simply is removed and replaced. This picture shows an example of ceiling tiles.1 commentsdozer
