Qc1:




I don't need no silly proposal, I WANT A FIX !!!

3strikes:
Oga QC1 so this is what you've been going through for your site?

But Bosun said he advised you na.

FastShipping:


Wow!!

This is a big problem. I remember this problem. I thought it was fixed.

This problem would have been best fixed during the dry season. All hands must be on deck. I have a competent hand I can recommend to help you.

Should I link you up?

Qc1:


I know you told him to meet on off the forum but he continue to run around. He never showed up. I called him couples of time and he refused to pick up.


Here he is, trying to offer a fix for another dude and looking another victim!

FastShipping:


Forget about Brabus for a minute. Have you got competent hands to fix this problem once and for all or do you need me to link you up?

Qc1:


I'm trying all I could. Everyone that came to fix the problem advised me to sue him.

FastShipping:


Suing him wont stop the problem. Top notch engineering work is what you urgently need.

Qc1:


I agree, that's why I'm trying to fix it on my own.If you have a professional that can look at it please forward his contact to my email : keem4ever69@gmail.com. Thanks.

FastShipping:


I have a professional that can come out there to take a look at it. This is not something you can fix on your own. You need to hands-off to professionals now and let them do the right thing. It is going to cost you a lot of money to you have no choice but to fix it once and for all and be happy.

I just called him to explain the situation to him. He is working for me now but I don't mind him leaving mine to solve your emergency situation.

Qc1:


I'm not in Naija right now put I've given my wife (who's currently on site as we speak) the instruction to talk to him. Thanks.

I am not an engr...but there was a site I worked around makoko with similar problem..the engr raise the floor level by using filling sand...the problem stop I believed. Not sure if this will work in your own case. You can contact the engr sir fastshipping recommend

Qc1:


^^^

This is what was suggested and this is what we did. I'm on the phone with my wife right now and she's telling me that it seem's it's working.
We dug up the DPC and raised the floor another 2-3 inches with water proof cement and we are going to do the same again for tiling. Right now, we are just observing the fix for a while before tiling.

twinskenny:


By God Grace it will work...it can be frustrating

Pls hold on tiling. Deal with the compound. If possible, floor the compound. When the soil (laterite) beneath the foundation gets wet, it become a problem. It won't be able to support the structure anymore.

I know your terrain more than anyone here and I'm speaking from experience. You know I've walked the whole estate behind you, the buildings beside and in front of you and even the Cele Church behind experiencing similar problem and their fix.

Water must be kept off the property. The building or foundation is not the problem. The problem is non-stop flow of water usually experienced during period of heavy rain or 2 - 3 days rain.

For me, I want to collect all the rainwater coming from the roof and channel them out of the compound to a safer distance.

I agree I'm a Mr-Internet-Fix-It but what I'm telling you since 2013 hasn't change and it might worth trying.
You won't have a need to fix a foundation if there's no water in the first place.

So deal with the cause of the problem and not the effect of the problem.

Crack, damp, water ingress are all effect of water in foundation and not the cause.

The causes remains leaky pipes, roof rainwater, runoff, drainage spill, blocked drainage etc.

Qc1:


Amen my brother! It's even more frustrating after spending N27m pluse, and you're about to retire and relocation to Lagos. Now that I'm totally broke....I rest in God's hands.

EgunMogaji:


This part got to me, I'm sorry my Brother but you'll conquer this one too in sha Allah.

Qc1:


I just wonder what is worse than a paid contractor that wont fix his own mess but throwing suggestion from far distance?

My God will fight for me, just as he did with Sodom & Gomorrah by thunder by fire may he deal with this fraudsters!

n3xt:


Once again a big amen! May your God fight for you and every other persons around you affected. I like as you put it to God.

One thing you know is I'm not a greedy person when it comes to money and that you know for sure.

But to clear the air, I didn't throw any suggestion from distance. I tidied up my job since January 2014 and never had any backlog of work left undone except you have a contrary proof.

I didn't take money from you for any job and not do it. So apportioning blame to me for what we didn't agree on its cost is what I really don't know. I'm never keen about what comes in or out other than advice you on the best selection.

In sure you know I was just a builder on paid commission on the project and not a contractors and as such I'm limited in my capacity to make judgement for you sir. Neither do I make a unilateral decision.

A visit to the thread will show that I was upfront with all the site challenges right from the beginning of the project. And proposed all the known fixes to you right in the thread and on site. I never had to carry out any of the solution for you because you have your own way to do them. I can recollect how mumuni led a team of abokis to come and backfill the house with the laterite. I was just an observer and cannot do anything about it.

Bros, I'm sure you knew I even advised against using laterite for the Sandfilling of the house because it's not good for the terrain but before I got back to the site after completion of the raft, Sandfilling has been done. Even though I recommended getting rubbles from Julius Berger site at Ikorodu and the road construction. Your supplier and bro can attest to this. I didn't have to impose anything on you. The only time I suggested a supplier to you was a granite supplier who did just one trip and nothing more.

Bros, how am I a fraudster? For telling the problems and challenges faced on site that you visit everyday we were there but chose to take with a pinch of salt or allowing you to take a lead while watching your back and advising you on the challenges ahead.

When we found neighbors waste pipe as the main culprit in your compound, I asked that we do everything on our part to safe your structure forgetting what the neighbour should have done because we are at the receiving end. Did we do that?

I'm sure you'll agree I'm not a fraudster when I went to locate where govt drainage in the area and the affected buildings around so that we can plan a proper channelisation of water in that area. Has that been done? Because I know there was never a kobo credited to me over this.

Bro's lastly, when you called me back a year after for your roofing, and I got to know about the fence you did that fell, I told you that you need to fix the water issue ASAP and adviced against using stone coated roofing. I'm sure you'll remember we walk this same walk sometimes last year.

It's so painful but how I wish there's something I can do other than telling you what I know. The structure isn't the problem, the water is. The same water affecting everyone around you.

You just have to deal with problem and not the cosmetic effects.

Qc1:

Amen my brother! It's even more frustrating after spending N27m plus, and you're about to retire and relocation to Lagos. Now that I'm totally broke....I rest in God's hands.
