CityNG: I see we share an eye for detail. That ladder and several other building equipments are capital investments. Buy once use across several projects. At op good supervision with bad tools will be fetching water with a basket. Not a criticism of your work. Also just for my knowledge, do we still cure blocks for 28 days in Nigeria? Real proper curing with the blocks covered with tarpaulin and watered every day? Do we use engineered wood (construction grade plywood) in formwork in d country? Good concept of putting nylon on the formwork for d decking... It keeps the water in d concrete long enough ideally for 28 days PS: I am not a civil engineer or building technologist (I work in IT) but my old-school grandpa was a builder and growing up, dat man used us as free labour to cure his blocks 1 Like |

kkonsults: the gate house, we are currently at lintel stage. Oga kkonsults, iam thinking of building something like this to be used as kitchen by my mom before she starts thinking using firewood inside the kitchen i have in my project. Village people always prefer outside kitchen where they can use firewood to cook. Please, is it possible to get an estimate of what it will take to complete especially the number of blocks and cement. Iam going to use zinc for the roofing. |

Hello KK consults, I have been following your thread with very keen interest. Good job. I have two questions Firstly, do i assume the two flats on one side- 1 top, 1 bottom? Secondly, do the residents of the flat have a separate access gate? because your initial 3D plan doesn't show this Thanks |

NL1960: Why not just raise blocks of say up to 3 feet and then position round metal rods by the corner to hold the zinc roof. I dont think using firewood will work in a fully walled house no matter the ventilation you put there. Meanwhile be sure not to do german flooring o as firewood cooking must be on sand. If it is charcoal cooking, then its a different matter as you can use those things the women wey de cook moi-moi for my area dey use. |
Re: Construction Of A 5bedroom Duplex + 2 Flats by NL1960: 10:23am On Sep 15, 2014 |
Onuokwu: Thanks for this great idea. The only problem i see with this is that if it is raining and it is windy, the wind might blow the rain into the kitchen through the opened sides. Another idea is to fully the three sides and then make the front to have the raised blocks of about 3 feet. What do you think?. |
