What do you think is right with this living room (parlour)? Take a look at the picture.

All I see is a very busy parlour: from the busy wall tile to the badly put together PVC ceiling. No character, no ambience. Looking at the picture what comes to mind is a poorly put together beer parlour instead of a cosy living-room. On a scale of 1 - 10, how satisfied are you with the design of the parlour where 1 is completely dis-satisfied and 10 is completely satisfied? I will rate it a 4. For me is that bad. Solid house, poor finish.

3. I wonder why tile the siting room at all? Maybe wallpaper, stones or simple screed and paint would have been better.

You registered on 23rd September and your only post is to recommend an entity.

If I were a client, I'll be suspecting that you're linked to the company. You can clear doubts by posting evidence of your previous dealings with the company.

Seconded!

Pls I just decked a room self contain and my fence where mark X sign today. I don’t wanna make mistake or be rip off. Where is the best place to rectify this? At Local Government or Lasbca

Thanks

LABSCA, ofc.

But what are you "rectifying" sef?

Is it not cheaper to get your Building Permit, that to allow those guys to keep milking you for "rectification"?

or even if you "rectify" small now, please start the process of obtaining your own documents otherwise, if they post that your contact out of the place and another one replaces him/her, you will need to start the rectification again since he will mark his own 'X'.

Govt needs to make the cost of obtaining a building permit more affordable and less tedious.

PHOTO CRITIQUE

Lets go on some academic jingoism. I say academic because I'm about to critique some projects on Nairaland but as we may well know, the projects might all have been completed and in full bloom and the home owners are already enjoying the fruit of their labour so any critique is just academic. But we should learn a thing or two for future project.

I kick-off with the first kitchen (Photo). What do you think is right with the layout of the kitchen? I think the wall tile is well done and I also like the POP work. The worktop is also half decent. But things go down hill from there. The layout of the first kitchen can be better designed:

1) there is scope for the window to be bigger to let in more light and ventilation.

2) the wall unit is too high, reaching items on the unit without a stand will be a problem even if the user is tall. All height should reach wall units without over reaching themselves.

3) the kitchen zinc looks like an after thought. More could be done in this area by working the zinc on the worktop. It is an L design layout but poorly done.

4) the most miffed aspect of the kitchen is the position of the Gas cylinder. Obviously there was no provision for the cylinder in the design of the kitchen. Cylinders as a safety recommendation should be outside and the connection pipped through the walls into the kitchen. This is not the case with this kitchen. This is a huge fire hazard. Cylinder gas heads are notorious to leak a lot. Imagine one is cooking and the gas head is leaking; there is real danger of gas explosion.

The second kitchen (photo) is a better designed "L" layout kitchen though I'm not sure with the choice of units colour of green and the busy wall tile. Having said that, the design layout is spot on.

The first kitchen is not bad but the occupier is just an untidy person.
Everything is strewn, everywhere!

The second Kitchen is horrible, the colour combination can wakeup a dead person.
Generally, l think people should colour-march their Wall Tile and Kitchen Cabinets, to produce a blend that is aesthetic.
Too many colours is like shouting inside a small room. Not Cool, at all..

That living Room, Hmmmm.... No Comment sef.

What caught my attention mostly, was the Gas Cylinder.
People are brave o!
Or are they just reckless with their lives?
please, go and advice the occupier of this house to PLEASE move that Cylinder outside, since like yesterday!

If l may ask, how safe is this other method whereby people put the Gas Cylinder inside one of the Cupboards, ususally under the Kitchen Sink?
I see a lot of people do this and l am just scared.

There is an item l saw online which detects gas leak in the Kitchen and automatically shuts the gas supply, using a Valve.
I think every Kitchen where gas is used, should have such item.

It is not safe to put the Gas Cylinder inside one of the cupboards. This is even more dangerous as gas leak may build-up in the enclosed area fast. It only need an ignition to course an explosion. Even a gas detector needs attention to details with respect to constantly monitoring the battery life. Such detectors need batteries and in Nigeria with fake batteries everywhere, the detector might fail when needed as the battery may have ran out without the occupants knowing. So it's good advice to keep gas cylinders outside.

What is wrong with this building (photo)?

This is a case of severe rising damp. Look at the foot of the building and the "black" build-up of algae as a result of damp. The case is even more peculiar as the compound is floored with concrete already so the building should not be experiencing such severe case of rising damp really. So what's the usual culprit of rising damp? Simple: No DPC.

We've had this discussion in the past with the need for German Floor or Damp Proof Course (DPC). Some homeowner would do German Floor, others would not. But let it be made clear that ALL foundations as best civil engineering practice should have a DPC in one form or the other. Any building without a German Floor (DPC) is susceptible to rising damp. Concreting the rooms and tiling over is just papering over the crack. The sandcret blocks without the DPC would still absorb water and moisture from the ground causing damp walls.

Another cause of external rising damp which is so often overlooked is doing your interlocking or concrete compound flooring ABOVE the DPC. By doing this, you've inadvertently breached your DPC especially when you did not bevel your interlocking or concrete flooring AWAY from the foundation. This may also be one of the causes of the severe case of rising damp with this building.

NOTE: your interlocking/compound flooring should be BELOW your DPC. Rising damp is a serious problem; the odour in the rooms alone can be off putting.

Please, i need info about this ceiling board i got an offer for.

I have checked Nigerite range of Kalsi ceil ceiling boards which are similar but not same colour or pattern. I wonder what this actually is. I also want to know the company producing it, its durability and market value.

I have seen homes with DPC having same problem. Roof gutter would have solved most of the issue of the dampness. The amount of water dropping from the roof directly to the base of the foundation is so enormous and causing the water to rise. If owner of the house can eliminate water coming from the roof and channel it elsewhere, most of the dampness can be eliminated. Don't underrate the water dropping from the roof and sinking into the foundation base. Think about amount of water that can be channelled away from the roof dropping to the foundation base if owner can just introduce roof gutter and funnel.

Yes, it looks like it but not as brittle as abestos and the colour isnt close light brown vs grey. I poured water on it and it held water for about 5 mins without showing on the other side.

they are manufactured pop ceiling boards which are bought ready made instead of moulded on site

hello

smallsmall:


Not Asbetos but Gypsum material.
Some call it POP Ceiling sheets
Around 2K/SqM (+/-)
Said to be fire resistant
Water resistant properties very poor (imagine a roof leak dropping on your Bed )
Comes in 2ft x 2ft suares.
Comes in various colors and design as well (see another below)

Never used it myself but l am considering giving it a go, very soon.

Possibly gypsum quite alright but it is 4x4ft.

It didnt absorb water. On handling, it leaves a you with a dusty hand.

Looks like POP.

Okay sir

Good afternoon good people. I tried reading a few pages back but then decided to just go ahead and ask my question. What quality of a three bedroom bungalow will N4m give me? If I raise my budget to N5m, what advantages will I get? I would like to know what I can get in terms of interlocking (half plot of land), PVC ceiling for the sitting room, tiles for the bedrooms, water tank, lighting, etc. Your input will be highly appreciated. Thanks
