Do We REGRET Adding BURGLAR PROOFING? GHANA BUILDING UPDATE 🇬🇭 

Hell no no burglar proof for me i dont wanna feel like i am in jail

Great video. I don't live in Ghana at this time but I understand the need to protect your home and your family no matter where you live. In the states some homes have bars on the doors and windows and some have alarm systems. I prefer alarm systems that will sound an alarm and alert the police if there is a break in. They both will deter crime. The more I watch your videos I think when I come to Ghana I would prefer to live in a gated community where burlar proofing and electric fences are not needed. I would feel trapped behind walls and bars on a small plot

I don't like them, but I have to put them in for added security.

I'm currently staying at a gated community in Accra. I hate burglar bars so, if I decide to live in Ghana permanently, I would prefer a gated community.

I love the design !!

Good discussion. We decided to do burglarproof exclusively for the ground floor. Cheers.

Well done family! The building is coming up nicely!

I like the design on your burglar bars, Sam. We are in the “hell no” bracket. I believe security is not supposed to be one way so assuming having burglar proof bars eliminates theft is not 100% true. I always say that if you give a thief all the time in the world, they will breach any burglar bar you install - case in point bank vaults get breached every so often so burglar bars aren’t the end all be all. For our project, we will add layers that will hopefully prevent anyone getting to the window more so try to enter.

I have learnt a few things here. Thanks for this.

House is looking good and coming on well. Keep on keeping on and it will be done before you know it.

Think about with lower windows open i would prefer to have BP-ing to create a layer of protection in the event I would want to leave my windows open on a hot night

Prob more of a deterrent. They used to breach the front doors all the time but perhaps with these new security doors BP + Security door shd suffice. One more layer of personal protection prob needed if both are breached n gh police can't be reached in time.

Burglar proof is not a new concept used in Ghana to deter intruders. It has become more common though and the placement has changed. It used to be installed outside the windows of residential properties, but now it is installed inside and into the wall to make it difficult to breach it. Unfortunately crime is more these days than back in the days. I don’t know why some people think burglar proofs are only used in Ghana/developing countries. You can find them in large cosmopolitan cities in the west as well as in small mountain villages in the west. I like the emergency escape inclusion, that is a smart concept. Good luck having Ghana police respond quickly when your alarm goes off. Even front walls used to be shorter so your beautiful house can be seen from the street but now front walls are taller hiding all the beautiful architecture and landscaping on the compound. Yes better safe than sorry. How I wish we didn’t need any level of security but sadly it’s a different world everywhere. For many burglar proofing becomes a more affordable and difficult choice.

Do the electric fencing and Cameras also.

I don't like them but it's a necessity to prevent burglary

Sir, my suggestion is that you have to paint them to fit the color of your building, I don’t know if this is it or you’re gonna change the color. Thank you.

I think it is the right thing to do you never can predict what may happen way in the future I would buy but never had them in US.That white design looks beautiful.

I don’t like the burglar proof but I don’t know why I put in

It's a shame that you can't build your own house and live peacefully without the worries of burglars. Those guys will attack you if you don't have them in place. I'm not a fun of it but I'm compelled to, considering my place is very remote.

I didn’t like it but I was strongly advised to have it so I did cleaning the windows is still a problem not easy at all but well it got to be done, congratulations almost there

If the security bars are metal, in the event of fire, they would be too hot to touch however, it is nice to have the option to remove them from the inside. You never know...

Nice BP-ing bars btw!

Put fire alarm incase of fire break outs

Bullet proof windows in US

You do need it, we all need the burglar proof.

You probably could've gotten a gates that lock in the inside .And you need a key in order to unlock it.

Unfortunately a It's a necessary evil in Ghana 😢, but even with burglar proof in-situ, our house got burgled 3 times in two weeks.

Better safe than sorry!

Just wandering, I am a Ghanaian living in the states and I am on social security earning $2000.00a month. I don't have any dependants in Ghanaian. Would that be enough to live in Ghana, accra for that matter. I really want to move to ghana

That’s a huge property.

I hate burglar proof.

Is burglar proof windows common in countries such as Nigeria, Jamaica and certain states in America? I know ww don't use them in the UK but I wonder if that's because our police service is better than Ghana 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’ll rather get home content insurance. I hate burglar bars

Hi, came across your video. May i ask where you got your interlocking blocks from and the cost. The reason i ask is because i am currently building but producing my own blocks and from what i can tell yours doesnt seem to be made very well. (No disrepect intended) im just curious.
