I don't like most security bars and I wanted to do something different when I was renovating a basement bathroom in our last house. It was a Japanese themed room so I had a pal help me with his gear. We cut some leaves with his plasma cutter and used a couple of different sized rods. I was happy with the results. A couple of squirts with the left over rattle can of Mazda pickup touch up paint and I was done. I lined the deep window well with mirror to bring even more light into the room. It worked well. I also left the stringers of the stubby stairwell open and backed them with sand blasted glass to provide some more light from the back porch door that had full glass in it. I miss that bathroom big time!
Reply:Looks good. If you ever do it again and want the rings on the bamboo, it is easy to. You heat around it and hammer on the end. It will pooch out a ring.
Reply:Hey, that's a great idea. I never thought of that. Oh well, 15 years too late!
