About the clay pots, @Abdulwastecx got it spot on, exactly like in the books.. I think he should be a lecturer.. I will like to add that they should be used in areas where there wont be too many live loads. That is, don't use on walkways etc.. Imagine you could reduce the cost of a decking from 1.5 million to about 900,000... That's mega cost saving in these hard times.. @Lastpage First of all, glad to know you and Hajj have become best of friends.. Secondly, don't be afraid your decking won't fall off at all @HajjMufutau "Do not be afraid. Thus sayeth the Lord.." Let us use you as the clay pot lab rat.. . 1 Like |

KolaShangOne:you know if you was using 9" solid block would you be able to bury the waste pipes same way? |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by wanaj0: 7:06pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: The cost savings will come if the building has long span. Otherwise, there is hardly any cost savings. I know a building that the deck was done in a similar way (used blocks instead of clay pots). |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by KolaShangOne(m): 8:36pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
erico2k2: Of course not.. Might have to do a "U" to bury the pipe along the wall.. |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by Nobody: 9:15pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: If you have time please expand on this U. I'm still stuck on getting waste out without cracking the walls, incoming water is solved. |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by erico2k2(m): 10:51pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
KolaShangOne:ok I get you, what would you use in covering the open part of the "U"? |

KolaShangOne: I've heard about this your rain o. It's causing me logistical issues and keeping me awake 8,000 miles away At least your crew is out of the ground already. Looks good. |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by KolaShangOne(m): 6:27pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: You really have ears to the ground.. On Monday it rained from morning 6am till night.. Even when I got to Ibadan around 12am, it was still raining.. But I think that's the last heavy rain we will have. It's September already. |
Re: Construction Diary: Building a Duplex on the Rocks. by Nobody: 7:02pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: Yeah I learned something this morning that I've never had to worry about. Site access to heavy trucks. Here all the roads are graded and tared/cement. So the idea of including that in my logistics was foreign. But we worked it out and I'm very proud of my supplier, he did a fantastic job for me. I hope the rain abates, I've got stuff to do. I salute all you guys in Nigeria that are getting stuff done in that challenging environment. "Shyte ain't easy baby". |
