No matter those holes, i am not sure it is a great idea oh, i will never allow my enemy to reside in such, it is too dangerous, anything could happen and besides, what happen if something happen and the generator caught fire?

spyder880:

The holes are for ventilation for the generator, the fumes will leave from the exhaust pipe and lead outside the compound completely. If the generator catches fire, there is an escape staircase at the side where the gateman can climb down from.

spyder880:

Welcome James, carbon monoxide poisoning happens where the fumes from the generating source has no way of assimilation into the open air in the environment, like in a confined space where the fumes cannot escape easily. This is more reason why we are creating enough holes on two sides of the house, top to bottom, this will aid more ventilation and air circulation, thereby avoiding the build up of smoke that might be poisonous.

Also consider the position of the gate house, right on top, there is no way the fumes could build up easily inside the gate house because the breeze in the environment will always spread it into the atmosphere.

If you notice, most of the cases of carbon monoxide poisoning we have experienced are from buildings on the ground floor, below the fence level where ventilation is poor.

vivienbabe: Methinks this is what the owner wanted. That being so has put our bros Spyder in a difficult position, arguing from a weak position. It is not so good in that people of all backgrounds,and from different parts of the world are reading and following. Safety is an on going issue in building construction in Nigeria and people are concerned in situations like this one. I hope the owner will review the situation.

spyder880: Work done so far at the tank stand

peaceland:
Bros Spyder;
can you be generous enough as to give the 'structural composition' of this elegant water tank vis a vis the following
1- cost of the H beams & size of the H-beams
2- cost of the other accessories (the connector metals - layman language)
3- how many litres of water can this tank safely support & how many tanks
4- how deep are the foot mats
5- how deep should the foot mats be assuming a normal soil; not sandy/hard
6- what lessons learnt in building this tank or advice to people that wants same
7- why is the ladder towards the wall; wont it be an attraction to unwanted guests and wont it be too tight for a normal climber?
8- I assume the top flat mat is to accommodate 2 tanks; should 1 tank be empty; wont it affect/compromise the stability of the tower
9- what paint (name) would be used on it to prevent rusting
thank you sir
PS: i have modified this like 3 times; just curious and excited; (praying the price will be right!!)

spyder880: The tank stand once again.

Onuokwu:
I like your project management skills. You are a multi tasking guy!

spyder880:

Replies later Sir. Thanks.

spyder880: The tank stand is also getting a lot of attention.

koman: Oga spyder,
What kind of profile do you intend using for the windows, aluminum or PVC profile?
