@topsy23 how can this return of bad odour be .corrected. It's a serious concern in my build.

Better to separate the waste pipe and soil pipe. Also tell your plumber to use magic waste for all the wash hand basin and also use floor drain with trap.

Thanks

It's better if the magic waste is trapped or using bottle trap for WHB

I have the same issue in my bq.

1) Redo the exterior plumbing.

2) Create s new path of least resistance by venting the soakaway directly.

3) Do the internal drains properly as pictured. Introduce a P trap.

J-bend is what they called trap. It will retain some water and prevent odour from coming in

I snuck in and out via the Epe/Ijebu Ode route and it was midday during the week.

Every indication makes me feel it would have been a traffic nightmare if I went through Lagos township.

I have always wondered too. Since there is no contact between foundation blocks and the continuation blocks because of the nylon. It would appear the building is suspended and not have firm grip on the foundation. This is not actually true. But looking at it in-depth, the columns and beams are what actually hold the building and very little weight goes to the blocks. Which are still rested on the beams anyway..

So the advantage of having the damp proof membrane ( nylon) outweighs the effect of the negligible air gap at that joint.

Thanks for this eye opener. Seem I understand the basis now, I use to think is the sand and cement mixture applied at each block edges that bind the building. So you mean the entire building is only sitting on the foundation but the column and beam provide the support

Not all buildings have columns and beams.

How do people using stamped concrete cope with the heat it generates/retains in the compound or it is not peculiar to stamped concrete flooring alone?

There's at least 4 to 6 inches of granite. Any grass that grows deserves an award. But if they do a quick spray with "Weed B Gon" will sort it out.

Thanks.

This is why I've previously said go green. Design the compound to use minimal concrete flooring and then plant grass in the majority. But una say una no get power to maw or cut grass and una dey fear snake. So make una manage the heat.

The heat generated no be here o. I dey tell you.

it's not a rumor but confirmed that there's a continuous upward review of iron. Reason is the current cost of diesel which goes for around 750

I have not gotten to that stage sir and no, I don't really like stamped concrete flooring, I raised this because of the heat that almost fried my kidneys when I visited a place of recent.

It was like I was standing on an opened oven.

When I get to that part, I will surely come back here to seek the best design available.. A mix of grass and solid pathway for foot and cars..

That is If the above is possible.
