controversy is one thing that keeps this thread going. The front and back argument and counter argument plus the advice.

Good morning all. I need advise on the top floor of my build. We have completed the ground floor and done decking. The bricklayer is suggesting we use 9" block for the outer walls and 6" inside.

Isn't it possible to use 6" for the entire first floor instead of combining with the 9" on the outer walls.

Thank you
Listen to your bricklayer.
The 9" outer wall with wider cavities will reduce sound and heat ingress.

Hello everyone I need your help

Our engineer gave us this estimation

Though it's water logged but the water is not too much.

We want to know if his estimation is not outrageous for roofing and fencing


Get another quotation from another person or price from different sawmill yourself but go with someone knowledgeable in wood . The price on the quote is way different from what I know . eg ojaagba is just 200 to 250 naira at lukosi and ikorodu don't know if it's more than that in other area

@jasobry how’s it at your end? I mean the carport project.

I knew I’m kinda slow at things like this cos what’s worth doing at all is worth doing well.

I’ll be painting the steel members tomorrow. All things been equal, we should have it standing by next week.

I’m also considering profile light (pic 3) in the carport. Already in talk with supplier.

How to install Large and Expensive TVs on hollow walls

Though I’ve even a lot of beautiful Media Wall designs recently. I’ve only seen a very few professional installations of large TVs.
Most installers just do a direct install on the hollow block and that’s it.

All that said, I need to reemphasize this valuable information that “a hollow block is a poor mounting surface for walls holding expensive and large TVs.”

Unless your hollow block is filled and you can hit the filled cavity directly, I’d advice you not to roll dice on installing your expensive and large TVs directly on hollow surfaces, the risk is pretty high.

Beyond risk of pull out, installing your media wall directly on hollow surfaces can lead to condensation unless there is sufficient insulation that can keep your boards above dew point.

A lot of people do chose form over function. We do things different.


See more details on how to professionally install expensive and large TVs on hollow surfaces on https://www.kobocity.com/d/244-how-to-install-large-and-expensive-tvs-on-hollow-walls

If it’s 5 star hotel, I’ve got the blueprint of some of the most interesting multi-level hospitality designs in Nigeria where we can steal some beautiful ideas.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects with us even when we’re not advertising.

I closed 3 more deals in your estate already. They just won’t stop coming grin

Accept my congratulations in advance.
Na you gangan be my man of the year!
You kept going despite the fact that they’ve almost turned your project into something I cannot describe.

I learnt a lot from your perseverance and tenacity. That’s exactly what separate men from the boys.

Shockingly, we didn’t kill anyone while trying to manage a very bad situation. We managed to carry everyone (the good, the bad and the ugly) to the finish line except those who don reach their bus stop.

I’m glad you’re happy!

Because they are special woods for special purposes

you can't use it for roofing carcass wood work.

No architect, engr, qs, builder or roofers will recommend it for roofing.

The prices they gave him above is too outrageous for woods to roof house.

Pressure treated woods are expensive not for roofing.

Good for flooring, staircase, etc
