OK sir, will start working towards it
the best way to construction the soak away and septic tank is to do a precast from the surface and sink it to the ground . there will be pumping machine to pump the water out on the day of sinking and it will be property sealed. That is the way we do it Lagos island where the water level is high . NB u need a capable hand to do this.

There are certainly Solar Water Pumps.

I will see if l can get a picture of one for you but l am sure there are some other people here who may have it as well because we have discussed that issue on this thread in the recent past.
You may also scroll through the thread or do a search with that keyword (Solar Wate Pump), maybe it will throw it up for you.

thanks

Not a must, but it is good. Considering the strength of our blocks.

Setting block not more than 3 days for bricklayer and labour 18k carpenter and welder day job so 8k. Bricklayer fills the mould with concrete and plaster cover 2 days 12k so total of 38k should do for the chambers. You buy all materials.

Block, cement. Sand, iron rod, plank. Granite or gravel.


gabbytabby this your chamber cost dear o ! 38K for ONE chamber or unlimited chambers per soakaway? I mean 38K just for labour? How many chambers? Please give us more information. How was this costing done?

I did about 20 chambers at N3,500 per chamber labour only All inclusive; bricklayer, carpentry work, iron bender etc AND safeguarding of the pipes; that is demarcating the pipes from damage. So the pipes are covered with loose sand and gravel on top for accessibility for maintenance work. The photo is NOT my site, just for illustration purpose.

This tank of mine was done for the downstairs. Slightly above 4meters. Used galvanized pipes. Plus casting everything cost about 110k (Stand was 90k cast 20k). This was mid 2016.

He said 12 chambers and it's for all. I also said 3 days max so he might be able to shave off 1 day off 6k off the block work. 3.5k versus my 3.2k not really an issue I don't think

Hello house, good to see that the properties section is still going strong. I would like anyone who has an idea on borehole construction to fill me in. It seems that there are several types of boreholes? I am not sure why i keep getting quotes that are so far apart. Someone said N250,000. Another person said that it is done for N350,000. The location is Kaduna. Thanks

I was just laughing at myself this morning that you think a self proclaimed iya ijebu will pay 38k for a single chamber they better make it into a monument of sort which will attract a tourist fee.

Not sure about how many bags of cement but can give you a break down on the 12mm road. Buy 20 lengths that will be enough.

Breakdown

Let's assume you are using a square ring (irrespective of the size)
* doors = cut maximum of 5ft per length by 4 (square ring) = 20ft /door lintel by 17 doors = 340 divide by 38 (a length of rod is between 38ft-40ft)=8.9 lengths of rods

* window (let's assume your windows are 4ft by 4ft) cut maximum of 6ft per length by 4 (square ring)= 24ft /window lintel by 14 windows =336 divide by 38 = 8.8 lengths of rod

* toilet windows (2ft by 2ft window) cut 3ft by 4 pcs = 12/toilet window by 4 windows = 48fts divide by 38 = 1.3 lenths of rod.

Total = 8.9+8.8+1.3= 18.9 lengths
Can I use 10mm Rod instead of 12mm?
