My Oga at this site is very strict about his standards, he is the kind of man that will go for the best just to ensure that all building processes are well observed, He arranged for a "Dumpy level" to be brought to this site so that the foundation levels could be accurately determined. It was a new experience for me, we are all in school and learning everyday cheesy

A humble declaration from him who knows a whole lot yet nonhesitant to show he is open to learning new things. Kudos to you and you can only but go from strength to strength. I see you going very far in this sector.

We used it on all portions of the floor, you could also see my carpenter setting up the wooden boards to frame this foundation for concrete casting.

Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by spyder880(m): 4:34am On Jul 11, 2013
