msogunro: The answer could be yes or no depending on the site and soil conditions (bearing capacity of the soil, etc) as I mentioned above. |

msogunro: Mine could have been done just like yours too. I had three nairalanders at my site sometime last year. One recommended I do it the way you are doing your fence. Two recommended concrete walls. I decided to go with the concrete walls. The decision was based on the terrain and sloppy of the land. The double wall cost four times less than the concrete walls. This gives me rest of mind. 3 Likes 1 Share |

msogunro: Personally, I would trust the judgement of the local artisans on the ground. I did. You're building a fence on rock solid ground and not building Cocoa House on swampy land. They don't even need to carry the double wall past the level of the soil being retained. 6 Likes |

So with fencing progressing well, my fears have been subdued and I can now get back to the issue of borehole drilling. Remember the geological survey I mentioned earlier? Well, the result said I would need to dig 80-90m. From what I've learned so far, borehole drillers in Ibadan typically charge N5K per meter. Let me do the math for you. N5,000 × 90m = N450,000. I'm taking donations. 12 Likes

msogunro: I haven't found one yet but rumor has it that the Indians have the market cornered in Ibadan at least. In terms of quality of work and honest pricing. That's the route that I'm going when I come home. I've been quoted $350 to $450 for mine. But I don't desperately need water on this project. Good luck Sir. Fence looks great. What cement are you using? 1 Like 1 Share |

EgunAnigilaje: Thank you sir. Slowly, but surely. I was told Dangote. One of the pictures has a cement bag in it but I cant quite see what it is to confirm. |

msogunro this your plot is unique and vintage. It will be a crying shame if all the stone works just ended with the foundation only. Your final build should be sympathetic to the geological history of the area in terms of architectural execution. One should look at your completed build in 20 years time and still "see" the nature of the topography in the building. To start with, it may not be too much ask to look into adopting Gabion Wall for the front of the on going fence work. You may also use Gabion for your landscaping or cobbled stone floor like in medieval European streets, Gabion Wall barbecue, stone wall cladding etc. The possibilities are endless with those stones. A proper and well thought out use of those stone will set your build apart from the rest I swear! See pix below to familiarize yourself with the possibilities: Included is the architectural plan on how to build a Gabion Wall. 13 Likes 4 Shares

diordaves: I purposely excluded the road side portion of the fence from this stage of construction for various reasons. I like the Gabion Wall you've just introduced to me, but it won't work for the front fence. I want to be able to appreciate the view at any level. I like your idea of incorporating the rocks into my build and I will definitely make an effort to do so. You've given me many new ideas. 6 Likes |

msogunro:They are called hardcore fillings. That was the first thing i thought when i saw the boulders, you could use that as your hardcore fillings if the soil is too marshy. They are usually expensive. 2 Likes |

Foundation (base) for the fence work. No need for a sub base as you are building on a weathered granite which itself is stronger than laterite msogunro: |

correct, i agree with you on this. also the other concrete wall is not on a rocky formation buy a sandy one with bamboo trees adjacent to reflect proximity to a river/stream path. Double wall would not suffice for that swampy formation, concrete raft as done is the best option. You guys have two different geological terrians EgunAnigilaje: 3 Likes |
