It will be better if something like a 16mm rod is passed through those pipes when fixing, for reinforcement instead of extending the pipes

I think you are right. A 16mm rod will make it very difficult to cut for an intruder. But those pipes are very strong on their own.

Isn't that front part supposed to be decorated with tiles or stones cladding. Why plaster It first?

There's something I am trying to do there, I will smooth the upper part for a paint, divided by a belt, then the lower half will be completed with either stones or tiles.

It's a headache my brother. cheesy

Look at the ones I fitted on a house last year, it will always get dusty especially if it's on the external of the house near a dusty road. But I spray painted it with a high quality oil finish so I can always wash the doors with water and soap. I plan to repaint again by the end of this year to retain the bone white effect I love.

Soil compaction in building construction is an important process. We do this to ensure the soil surrounding the foundation footings and the soil under the floors and rammed in so they can be no spaces which can allow air pockets or speed up the capillary action of ground water.

To achieve that level of compaction, a lot of measures could be employed, from ponding the foundation with a steady flow of water to help sink in loose soils, to following it up with a physical method of ramming the soil into the ground with "rammers" made for the purpose or to walk a manual vibrating compactor which can shake the earth and compact the soil to resemble the original natural earth settlement which is always hard.

Also, compaction is best done in layers of 300mm

Invest in Land.
Buy a land with a Governor's Consent at #6.5million
Just invest the money and sell the same land for 20m in 2 to 3 years time.
