Farm1:
I am not sure it's ground water... My location is by Arepo along Lagos/Ibadan expressway... I suspect rain water.

Whatever it is, I am just particular about a solution. Isn't the surface of the concrete supposed to be prepared before the paint application? Do you only sell paint or do you also do the job?

I am ready for the job by this weekend oooo.

You dont need a silicate sealer since its not ground water affecting it.
You can use acrylic ffloor paint or epoxy. you would need 6 drums of acrylic floor paint at N18,000 per drum or 10 gallons of epoxy at N13,000 per gallon and 2.5 gallons of hardner at N16,000 per gallon. The combined gallon has
a spread rate of 40 sqm per gallon.
I understand the application for epoxy is charged per square meters but you can ask hajj mufutau to ask his painter. We did discuss and the man seems to know about epoxy paint application and he may not chargr per square metrrs.
Any experienced painter can apply the acrylic floor paint though.
I listed their pros and con earlier so the choice depends on you preference.

OK people, this is the "Grand Finale" of the painting process.
I really love the outcome of the color combinations of the Paints and the Painter.
For those who are interested in the floor paint, you can see it below in or in the other post below.
The floor paint is not just an ordinary emulsion or gloss paint.. it's a special concrete floor paint,
I am sure Gbadexy will chime-in and remind us of the name and the duration..
This is a non-glossy and non-slippery paint, so you don't need to worry of falling when it rains and
it protects the floor concrete; same as we use here (USA) for concrete floors and terraces.
Gbadexy knows his stuff about paints.. Thank you.

@ Hajji: Please i see a water tank that isn't elevated on a platform.
Don't mind my asking if theres a new technology involved there.
I believe gravitational force is required to provide supply to the house from the tank.
what's the secret Sir?

No. There is a 2 platforms of 25ft Water Tank Stand beside the house to be used for the building, if you look closely beside the building you will see it. We are still putting the finishing touch on it, so we can mount two Water Tanks on it... It's not good to have the water tanks on the floor like that to be used for building because you will not get enough water pressure. Thank you.

Note: See picture below.

Gtrust, please explain.. You mean attach pump to the water tank? And operate the pump each time you want to use water in the house?
Please I don't understand. Thanks.

The plumber "pressurizes" that tank, connects a pump to it and to the house. Tank connects directly to bore-hole.

You can also buy 300 litres water heater 240 volts and do same for your hot water piping.

My plumber worked these out ab initio (right from before the foundation)!

Any plumber in the house

N/B: I'm not sure what you mean by "operate the pump"...the pump is connected to electricity and automatic whenever you open any of your taps!!!

@gtrust,hajj..;it is possible to get water supply to the house. Without erect a stand for tank and also get high pressure of water.
(1)If you source your water direct from govt water all you need is to connect what we called presure pump to the main source then this pump will supply the whole house without using any safety tank,once you open tap the water will come out will full pressure (depend on pressure bar you set for the pump normal domestic water bar is 0-25bar) the problem of this is once there is no light you can't have water
(2) If you have your own personal water source supply (bore hole,well) then you have safety tank just connect the pump to the tank then to the building you will start enjoying high presure of water every where in the building but problem there is that is not every pipe can withstand the pressure of this system of pump In most cases leakage here and there,light issue,the pump presure tank also need to be service or replace when needed (depends on usage

Post on the floor paint and designs was posted on the blank spaces above before but l feel its better to create a separate thread for that so l requested that it should be moved so it wont be double posted.

Thanks Hajji and i say a big amen to your prayer. I have seen Gbadexy's link on floor paints. This project is in the village and as such, do not know how they will be able to maintain it. Village people are very rough.

I did not create a separate dining area. From studies and from what i have been seeing when i visit people, i have come to realise that people do not really use the dining section for eating. They just put a dining table there for decoration. That was why i discarded it. Moreover, there is still the family living room upstairs that i can easily carve a dining area from as it is fairly big. While i was at home, myself and the family were spending most of our time in the family living room upstairs(eating, gisting and relaxing). Downstairs was just for receiving visitors.

That is quite understood... why having an un-used space. The VIP lounge is very nice... Thanks.
