So they didn't have to break any concrete?

I'll be looking at the whole entry point as a whole.

On the issue of security I have come to realise that the prayer needs to be God's protection cos I locked myself out once and if you see the ease with which this was resolved, I now know that only the opportunist is kept out not the career criminals.

True o sister... God should always be our security... and then goes the saying "God protects those who protects themselves".

I did those last three pictures from the blog on my own house as a test, and it has never given me any problems for 4 years now.

6.1mts as against the 4.5m on the building plans. I hate roofs that lie flat like a lizard cheesy
This will probably cost more money to roof but I hope to scrape through.

Mi Oga, I wouldn't mind seeing close up pictures of that EWT in the background.

I want to construct something similar with two levels.

Also, when you have time can you please do a lecture on plumbing and what work to do and at what point.

I keep on seeing pipes (like in the picture) but I can't understood where they are for.

For example I see this one going into the attic but there is no toilet up there. And where is the termination point on the bottom? Does it go directly into the sewer?

Ive gotten the german floor one down. I understand the covering, the reinforcement, the pillars, etc it's just this plumbing that I can't figure out.

Thanks.

What we did here is the conduit plumbing (internal piping) We usually start this by laying pipes inside the foundation walls, fixing and joining it through bricks and concrete as we go up till it gets to the very top. We can then cut the pipes and use a bend to form a vent that points outwards. The pipe you saw protruding was later cut so we could cast the parapet.

The one that will lead to the sewer is done by continuing the piping from the foundation, get a good gradient through the compound, drop chambers or service points along the way till it terminates into the soak away system. This will make for a free flow of waste from the building to the sewer.

So the same "vent" pipe (light red) by the parrapet is the same pipe that goes to the soak away and takes shyte alongst with it?

Edit: Okay I think I've got it, if this diagram is correct.
