Looks like a rape dungeon. That might be appropriate since OP has an admitted fear of people and sunlight.
Brickwork looks like shit. I guess the Mexican bricklayers were hammered when they did this. Good luck if you ever decide to sell it. |

3 cameras per corner is a fuck ton. why so many? I have 3 cameras on my house and can see about 330 degrees around the house. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: 3 POE = Three times as many as one As in three drops per corner. As in 12 drops for a square shaped structure, more if your architect is more creative than a preschooler. When you setup your cameras you didn't measure each possible ingress point and figure out the angle of coverage and effective resolution along each approach? How can you have triple redundancy with only 3 cameras (unless they are all facing the same direction ).
OP wants to live in a home with very few windows, I was just suggesting that he compensate for his lack of glass with some decent camera coverage. Cameras are dirt cheap - for the price for a few large picture windows and some skylights he can be rocking a nice 5MP or 4K system. Hell, he could probably swing for one or two Hik Darkfighters or Flir units. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's 2018, not 1982. You might as well have full coverage. Besides, more cameras (and better cameras) makes it easier to do video content analysis and to pull viable stills for vehicle identification and facial recognition.

That is not a house I would ever want to enter in a fire to do a search and rescue....and venting the heat would be a bitch. Hope your local FD practices residential roof cuts frequently.
It would not surprise me if an incident commander would not allow an interior attack in a place like this. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The rear lot is fenced, I'll be installing a gate for the horse, and a 'lectric fence so she doesn't butt-lean it, which I had bought all that literally the day before the fire so I still have it all. The bedrooms have egress windows, the office/gunroom has a commercial grade door (it opens out, with steel studs and a full commercial deadbolt. The room itself has double thick fireboard drywall and Simplex-Grinnell fire protection sprinklers with glass ampoule fuses) The porch used to be part of the LR, but Roxie needs a place to go in a hailstorm. And fuck windows, I hate sunlight, and clear skies. I wish it was 100% overcast 100% of the time or night.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
See there's that, "What will the neighbors think?" pussywhippage again. "The neighbors" is a euphamism for emasculation. That's when men agree with their wives, so she doesn't get mad and cut off access to the vagina, that it's better to make things look pretty instead of actually work well for the purported function. Like when you make it harder to prepare food in the kitchen so that when you aren't using the kitchen for preparing food, which is why you even have a kitchen in the first place, it is nicer to look at. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: OP will be "That guy" on his street and will have to order Girl Scout cookies online. Besides, my wife can't cut off access to vagina, for me. She can only cut off access to *her* vagina. Frankly, if she wants to play that level of a game of brinksmanship, she'll find me an apt opponent. |

So, I think I know what OP wants to do. He is going to line the interior walls with flatscreens the size of windows, and feed his cameras around to all of them. Sort of a virtual window. What do ya think?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I like that the OP is standing up for what he likes and building his house how he wants it. I like to go outside for sunlight and don't really want it inside much either... but not being able to open all the windows and get fresh air in the house would bother me. Hope OP has a whole house fan, at least. However I also think the house looks creepy and odd. But fuck me, good for you OP. If I ever build a house, it will be odd in my own way as well. I basically want one big ass open space with bedrooms/bathrooms in the corners, and it'll be similarly unconventional if I ever get to build it. If I had the money my house would be a huge warehouse with 21' clear height. It would have an indoor sand volleyball court and a big concrete slabbed area for whatever furniture I wanted. The kitchen would be on that floor. There would be a mezzanine level with bedrooms. Underneath would be all parking and workrooms. |

I've got a question that's not related to your lack of windows. Did you rebuild on the slab or did you tear out slab and start over from scratch? If existing slab, any concerns of steel reinforcement being compromised by heat? It did render the slab HVAC ducting non-cost effective to reuse, and we went with overhead pex plumbing to simplify. The drains were ok. |
