There is no shame in letting people know that they have issues. your secrets are safe with us. we will all join u in prayers.






Okay. Go ahead and tell us how sick your parents are since you now know their secret can be kept with us confidentially. For how long they've been mentally sick? Just let us know so we know the best village to relocate both of them that won't be far from you attending to them.

The emboldened part has been the bone of contention here that makes some people feel they have to camp on this thread and dictate whatever we discuss here. If you don't fight their fight, you are an enemy and you must have worked in hand with Brabus or any fraudster that swindled them.

I have said here some group of persons of interest has the same kind of parole. They are very bitter is No longer business as USUAL. If you want to do a class thing in order to create an opening to defraud people you better look else where.
I will always have my deep respect for spyder880 who has shown here that customer satisfaction is key to getting more jobs and also he does not descriminate and does not feel pompous like alot of people here. We also have some engineers here like abdulwastecx etc that falls in this class.
People with money dont make noise. If you like make your papa be bill gate, naa for your pocket.
Lastly alot of sycophancy are displayed which shows a micro level of what is displayed in Nigeria on a major scale.

I wouldn't know if this question have lbeen asked before, so pardon me.
I believe it's a general practice to use 6 inch solid block in fencing our homes; is there any risk or harm if I use same 6 inch solid to build a two or three bedroom bungalow house as against using 6 inch hollow. Pls don't chastise me, it's an innocent question.

There is nothing wrong with using 6" solid blocks to build your house. Just make sure the house is designed by an architect so he can balance the load and specify column sizes in consideration to your desired home plan.

Thank you sir Spyder;
I'm glad you responded. you, Hajj and other gentlemen here are the reason we identify with nairaland. I will engage an architect wey no go charge me so much for the bungalow.
However, sir will there be a different consideration/design or effects if I use 6 hollow. Honestly the reason I asked is I wanted a situation were the moulder will just continue moulding same type of block until the contractor say "that's enough block". No excuse of "we don't have 6 hollow moulding machine".

[b]I would like to believe that most of us here reside in USA/Canada/UK/Europe. While others are either those that come here to do business with us by enlighten us on how/where/what/when on most subjects relating to properties/materials/contractions. Yet, there are others that come here to learn something new through posts of exchanging ideas between the two groups and more importantly they do contributes too because they live in naija and they know the current price of building materials too. By doing this, we all appreciate each other and it’s a win-win thread for all of us.

To my diaspora brothers and sisters, I know how much time and energy it takes to go out there and get the “9 to 5” thing out of 24/7, especially this time of the year when it’s freezing like Antarctica. No doubt the hustle is real, painful and long thus, nobody wants to let their “papers” down the drain. I get that!

What I don’t get though, is why we made this forum our second home, after a long painful day at work, only to come here to misbehaves. Y’all c’mon menh! …don’t be telling me y’all ain’t gotta berra thang to do? We’ve fished out the maggots on here already, moreover, by now we all know who is who? Thirdly, I’m sure we will not hesitate to stop future fraud on here before it even commenced. We really should clap for ourselves and move on! Why? The fraudster amongst us is apprehended and now facing the music. Why can’t we just go back to do what we used enjoy? The same thing that brought all of us here! We represent the civilized amongst us buy yet acting uncivilized! Let’s sheath our swords already and move on! Trust me, I should know. I’ve lost a lot by conducting a business with someone I met here. But to God be the Glory, moving on have pushed me to higher level in life.

Let’s stop this behavior already. We are men. If I want to read about boys dissing one another, I will go to the front page. Most of us here are grown-ups, more importantly; the leaners come here to learn. Let’s keep it that way.

To my engineers/builders here, you need to do more by quickly identify the bad eggs here before a business is transacted. If things continue to go like this trust me, it will affect your family directly or indirectly because even though we hustle abroad, yours begins here. You don’t sh!t in where you eat! Now please, don’t get me wrong, we know the good ones among you, but you need to do more to protect your business here. Please protect our investments too. We thank you for your enlightenments on building talks.

To others, we are sorry! We will stop these bad behaviors ASAP and get back to why we are here again.

No excuse of "we don't have 6 hollow moulding machine".

[b]Aside the issue of "weight" raised by Spyder, you should also be aware that when it comes to Plumbing and Conduit elelctirc wiring, 6" Blocks with holes gives you more flexibility as it can be "easily and delicately" chiselled/troughing (despite its small width) and the pipes placed inside.
Same cannot be said of solid 6" blocks and the process of trying to create the same troughs in such blocks to lay pipes, will incur a lot of vibration which will eventually affect the stability of your walls.

That is one if the reason they are used for fences, because it does not need much, if any piping at all, ...so less troughing.
(Plumbers and Electricians in the house can buttress my point)

In terms of stability, the solid 6" Block does not provide any extra stability for your building, rather it adds weight!
The reason l say this is that such stability is achieved only when the 'depth' of the Block is a certain proportion of the Length and breath and if you notice, the 6" Hollow blocks tend to be fatter (depth) than the solid flat blocks.


Also, when you consider the way we lay blocks here, you will notice that the hollow 6" Block becomes more stable as the Mixed cement/Mortar enters into the cavities (holes within the block), providing added grip as a result of more friction, than when it is just on a flat surface of a 6" solid block.

Let me conclude by issuing a caveat: The above scenario changes when you use a 9" solid block as this provides the needed depth to achieve the same stability or even more, compared to a 9" hollow block.

My opinion is that you save yourself some stress and money, mould 6" hollow blocks and they are as good as any, as long as the sand used is not in excess (32 blocks to a bag, maximum). You will be saving on mortar mix during block work, if you are using 6" hollow Blocks. [/b]

My 5cents.
