Yes, there is no problem with this if the gravel is of high quality.

Loll grin I wont be surprised one bit if they start throwing in containers of China gravel for our people. But what I meant was the good quality gravel, which means a gravel sample with the least amount of mud, dust and other types of foreign objects that is not stone pebbles. The best type of gravel is the river pebbles (washed gravel) I am expecting a consignment of it on site now.

Does this also apply to granite?

No. Granite, being mostly produced by industries crushing stones are more refined in their segmentation and seperation processes. (One day I will bring in pictures of my study in a company based at Lokpa Ukwu.)

Granite are mostly free of dust and other particles because it's the lump stones that are fed into the machines (crusher) that will be channeled out and then seperated. Granite are mostly very clean, comes at a high cost though cheesy

So, as a professional, what size of granite is suitable for foundation, pillars and lintels?.

We are getting samples from intending suppliers of bamboo, (for the decking stage) but these are too short for my liking.

At this stage, the decking beckons. We are more than 80% completed on this second stage and we are supposed to commence arrangements for the procurement of materials and other negotiations for the delivery of the deck for this building.
We might start talking with the suppliers for sand, stone, bamboo, cement and planks by early next week. The sooner they deliver these materials, the faster we can deliver this house and move to another site. More pictures from this site later tonight.

spyder880: The chaining effect

So this is the chaining I've been hearing about! One picture, one thousand words. Well done Oga Spyder!

Does it make sense to build a duplex like this without chaining?
