Safety, security and more

Many people still do not have an idea of what we are building. They think what they see is our house. Actually the two guest room pyramids we are working on now are 'only' two (luxury) bedrooms of the house. We are around one and a half years on the process that all together will take many more years. So, so far we are only building bedrooms ;). 

Safety and security were the main parts of my former Dutch profession. So, infected with that long virus, it's part of our building process. Fire prevention is involved in all the parts of our building process. Smoke detectors, emergency lighting, Fire-extinguishers, in all the pyramids. And last week we installed a brand-new (2021/2564) CCTV system with several (cabled) cameras. Just to keep an 24-hours eye on our growing property and to store for some time what was going on around at the time. 
It's really amazing what kind of modern features and high quality (and yes, quality has it's price) are included in this present security systems.
The installation we did for now is just the start and we will even more expand the system building next constructions during the process.

The outside of the first pyramid room now is nearly finished the front door with special (double) stained glass and automatic door closing mechanism high quality (Häfele) locks and hinges installed and special sun protection side glass. 

We treated the wooden doorframe and door with special anti-termites sealing and put a first layer of clear varnish on. This changed the basic color of the wood and we will find a second an third color paint and protection layer later to get the door in the right and wanted appearance. 

It took some time and effort to get the right slopes for the cement bathroom toplayer of the floor. We worked with the laser and hope after tiling it shows we did it right. Schower and  scrubbing water flowing to the right places of the sewage system.

The second air-conditioning is installed. People laugh about the capacity (BTU) of this technique we brought in, but we want to be sure about the cooling capacity for my children and our guests who want to visit us in the future. 

Also we made some progress with the electricity system. Some parts are already running but to finish it will take more time. 

Find some pictures again about our progress so far.
