mufutau55: I bought each of these tanks for N26,000, some fittings and accessories like taps, non return values and elbows were also bought. Things are going up in prices. 1 Like

spyder880: Hajj, 500 litres or 500 gallons as spyder specified. This tank looks bigger than 500 litres to me.. Observing |

Onakomaya: Damn! Thank you Engineer Onakomaya.... Yeah, he did say 500 Gallons... not Liters... Thanks for the observations. I will edit all my earlier messages. I am not used to Meters/Liters, we are still using feet/gallons over here. Thank you Hajji M. |

spyder880: @Spyder880, you have done a great job, in record time too. I am really impressed by the quality of your work. I took time to read this thread till this 36th page and I must commend your diligence. I really learnt a lot and I believe many people here did as well. Please I realized you didn't detail the budget for this project. It is also not necessary to share the whole details here but I would be grateful if you could give me an idea of the estimated budget for each stage of the building. Say: foundation to casting, block work to decking, decking, upper floor block work, roofing, plastering, fittings, finishings. You don't have to detail a lot, just provide estimates. Cheers 1 Like |

The focus here is the completion of all works here and to leave site as prospective tenants are trooping in to express their interest in the flats. All my men are busy and we are looking at a couple of weeks to move out from this site. |

We are ensuring a well treated ground before applying interlocking stones, we have used water to sink the loose soil here,

The work schedule today is to use this manual vibrating compactor to travel over every inch of ground here, to further compact the earth before the next step of the work.

spyder880: Oga spyder, which part of Enugu is this house located and is it still available for renting? |
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by spyder880(m): 4:44pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
Val2001: This is Standard layout of Emene Enugu, near to Thinkers corner. The flats are still available, although we are trying to complete the works 100% before renting them out. |

spyder880: Thank you for the speedy response. So even this space that looks small in the picture (I have old eyes) is almost 10 feet across? **mental note to self, must get an oversized lot** 1 Like

This has come out really nice. It looks like the top half has been painted. When are you going to paint the bottom part and the fence? |

Empiree: I am planning a surprise building, expect the unexpected in architecture |
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by Nobody: 7:51pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
mufutau55: Not for me too Oga and this proves the old adage of "money can't buy class". |
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by Nobody: 7:53pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
spyder880: Yes please build something more modern and non traditional. Don't just step out of the box, literally, but take the box out and give it a good trashing |
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by Empiree: 8:33pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
spyder880:lol, I saw one few yrs ago in Abuja. That was aircraft architecture. I guess hajj mufutau55 just doesn't admire those unusual designs. Neither do I actually. |
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by mufutau55(m): 8:48pm On Jan 22, 2015 |
Empiree: NO. No Sir. Not even that Pilot guy who married that so-called celebrity girl in Nigeria whose house was made with old Nigeria Airway's plane.. I am not into those types... Just build me a good house with plenty bedrooms and large Living rooms... because I get big family. Go look in Kkonsults, Ihebrooke and those other good Architects we have on Nairaland with my comments of their design swhen I see a good one. Hajji M. |
