lol! Funny Ken! Well turned out for the better any way because instead of doing up the entire building which was the idea initially we knocked the hole lot down and rebuilt it and much bigger! the building far left was the building to the right side of the fallen wall in the video and its the only part which was left up!  I am trying to find the photos of the roof I did i built the roof in a big field and then we got a crane to lift the roof on in a few sections. It was fun never made a roof on the ground for it to be lifted up.  |

That's one heck of an incline to walk up and down. Must be fun in the winter when there's ice on the ground.

JMB,
Maybe it's just me, but I am concerned about you're clientele. Why do they need so many hidden rooms? Other than the fact that it's cool, is there some special reason for them to have a rooms with a hidden door?
Just curious
Steve

No just they have the money and its like a game to them. They love having stuff going on around them all the time they love people on hand. One day they might just want round windows the next day they want square and same with secret doors its like they go through phases. They would have use do stuff we would not see them for months they come round one day and alter everything so ripping out everything we done. JMB |

Must be nice! What a cool niche market - hidden science labs, gambling parlors, speakeasies, weapon and ammo rooms, war rooms, "hiding from the kids" rooms . . . the list is endless. I am starting to want one. Steve |

JMB, I see a great opportunity for you here.. suggest to them that you can build some panic rooms (easy peasy.. lots of shuttering and even more concrete), they must also have some cash to blow on sub-terrain cinema rooms :-) p.s are those all garages? |

Lol. Yeah they got the cash. We built a dog house. When I mean house I mean house. Proper building roof on tiles all done they came from holiday and wanted it knocking down and rebuilding on the other side of the property. Started the footings for it again then they decided they wanted the house extending over that area instead. It just kept going on and on.
Unfortunately that job is finished now it's an old picture I just brought up as it's associated to the secret doors.
Apparently so the electrician told me they found out I went self employed and asked him for my number not so long ago so might get a call in the future to work back on that job again. They don't have the company doing any work for them any more you see it kinda ruined the company wen they stopped all work on this property and all der other properties I left the company 4months before it happened and the company had to let all 20 contractors go and 14people on the books so lot of people lost dee jobs.
And yes they are all garages for his nice cars lol

Okay, all of you pros have covered this pretty well, but what I am not seeing is how you hook up the statue, say a small bust of Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, Beethoven... and then activate the secret door by tilting the head of the statue. I will not be impressed until I see a Sketchup of that!  |

Well if you do get a flip top bust with secret button inside, make sure you get the appropriate music to go along with what you're activating.  ...and for god's sake, take off that cape! |
