Congratulations. What a way to start the new month. When you’re good, do good then good things will come to you. Good luck.

Thank you very much sir and amen

Hope the cracks are not before the plastering, If notice any before, that a different case. If the cracks are after, it will disappear with additional cost to pocket. There should be no cracks after plastering if the mixture aggregate is right or the cracks should be very minimum. You’ll see secret of quality of work after 3 weeks to a month after the plastering. This are samples of good finish after one month of plastering

thank you boss, there are no cracks before plastering.

The picture below is when they are still plastering unfortunately I don't have a close view pic.

I love the simplicity of your house Sir. Clean lines and moderate size instead of some monstrous obscenity.

Well done.

I came to find out about this when making hikes to install my CCTV.

Some areas are thick and some are thin. Maybe Gypsum is my future material due to consistent thickness throughout.

Gypsum stays winning.

Boss welcome back to the forum

Life lessons are powerful and rewarding. I argued before but I have now seen that it's near impossible for consistent thickness with POP. It's possible but it will require a conscientious and disciplined manufacturer.

Sorry o

Did you say 109 bags o plaster this house?!




Was it not too much?

I prefer the old thatch roofs because these new stone coated roofs generate too much heat.

Read, absorb and reflect!

Jesus, it's actually a disaster in the making as it's four story building. It seems like it's an older construction too.

Hi guys, so there this three-bedroom I am building here in the north, I spent 190k to plaster in and out, with 109 bags of cement.

However, a few weeks after plastering I see cracks vertical and horizontal on the plastering.

When I took it up with the person handling the project, he said they are crazing and it will go away during screeding.

My question is: how true is that? Considering the fact we made use of sharp sand and ranged was used.

Kindly assist please

Let me quickly attend to this.

Plastering plastering plastering.

There are so many things that can lead to this cracks
- poor workmanship
-non appropriate mix ratio
- quick hydration
- sub-standard materials

Poor workmanship.
At time when non professional handle this aspect of work it can lead to this cracks. ( example when appropriate wall thickness is not adopted, when cement and sand is not well mixed.)

Mix ratio
Plastering and rendering comes in different mix ratio ( if truly you used 109 bags of cement it too much for this building means this can lead to the crack … too much of cement . Yes I was though this in sch as building technology student then and also as I put this into practice as a builder now to always check the appropriate mix ratio to avoid cracks) here you cement shouldn’t be more than 70bags to covered this building

Quick hydration
When you are in hot region or in dry season you needs to check how to do your plastering/ rendering reason why you must wet your wall before plastering unless if the wall is wet bit before … this wet serve as curing with this you will not experience cracks

Sub standard materials
Cement, sand even dirty water can cause this cracks.
Your cement must be in good state condition , make sure you used fine sand for your plastering more so don’t used dirty water.

Finally you don’t need to be panic a well mixed ratio of screeding solution coupled with good workmanship will solved the problem.

your local carpenter will make it for you. It's expensive something though especially if you're going to a very durable wood

It's completely worth it though.

I'm still waiting for the rest of my wooden doors to be manufactured, 19 pieces. I wasn't aware it would take this long or I would have ordered much earlier

they quoted 200 bags but, when I posted here I was advised against it and I had to take a leave from office to monitor it.
That's why we ended up with 109 bags, if not I may have spent 200 bags on the air
