Are you not a builder? Why ask us... If you know your onion you should know how/where to perfectly site a VT

No. The only place they know to put V.T is in the mouth of the home owner so that his visitors will not even have to stress themselves standing up to pee.

Hope you're able to resolve your issue.
Good day sir.
Visa said it was an undisputed payment. So, my request for cashback was declined.
I have moved on.
Thank you for checking on me sir.

An estate just installed a 0.5 hp submersible water pump to power the estate water supply.

Isn't it too small?

I'm using 1hp for just one household

So it appears that people have a new scam where they claim a transaction was declined and get their money back. I know a petrol station dealer who was complaining bitterly about this. So now this is the outcome. It will be much harder for honest people in sorting out failed transactions.

Nigerians have done it again

Where else then would your visitor go use a toilet? In your bedroom or the next compound? Maybe throw their waste over the fence?

The visitors toilet can be at entrance of the house, veranda area.

I've been to a few houses where the V.T. is sited by the gate close to the security post. I think it's also an idea worth considering.

I don't support this idea having visitor's toilet at the gate house. The best is to have it close the Ante room or external terrace but MUST not be close to living room.

This visitor’s toilet issue is easy to redeem in most cases. It just depends on where you want the door. If a door opening to the living area or ante room is not convenient, a different door could be made at another position. While the first is sealed.

So a story was told of a king who called his subjects to a feast.

The king promised to provide enough food to feed the entire village, however, he said he wouldn't provide them with any wine.

In order to strengthen their sense of community and foster togetherness, the king asked that the wine be provided by the villagers instead.

He put a very huge pot at the village square and asked that each household poured a keg of palmwine into the pot. If every household donated a keg, they should have enough wine to last them for the entire feast.

On that appointed Eke market day, the villagers started trooping to the village square to donate their quota.

Now, the king decided not to have this process supervised. He trusted his subjects to act accordingly.
You only needed to declare your attendance after you must have poured your keg into the pot.

While this was going on, one man, Mazi Okoro, thought to himself, "If no one is supervising the donation of the palmwine, why do I need to donate at all?"

He reckoned, "If everyone poured in a keg of palmwine and I poured in a keg of water into the pot, no one would be any wiser, and my keg of water would be but a little dilution to the wine and it wouldn't make any difference."

And so he did.
He poured a keg of water into the pot instead of a keg of palmwine.

The days passed, trickled down until the feast day finally arrived.
All was well at the feast until it was time to drink the wine.

Lo and behold, it was only water!

Because while Mazi Okoro thought his keg of water would go unnoticed since everyone else was pouring in palmwine, Mazi Okeke also thought the same.
And so did Mazi Okafor, and Mazi Okonkwo, and the entire village.

So in the end, they had to endure their pot of water throughout the entire feast.
Because who could they complain to? The king? He had nothing to do with it.
They themselves had brought this misfortune upon them.

As elections draw closer, do not be like these villagers and assume that others are going to vote your preferred candidate even if you don't vote.

Do not think "after all, we did million man marches all around the country and people came out in their thousands, so my one vote won't make any difference."

Your vote makes all the difference.
Please, go and collect your PVC!

Our problem in the building industry is "this is how it is done" syndrome. And because many architects don't like stretching their brains in thinking out new ideas, they'll prefer using a stereotyped pattern. That's why in almost every house plan, the v.t is almost at the same place. Before all these visitors' toilet madness started, houses were being built and people lived in them conveniently. But good as it is to have it in our modern homes, it should be strategically located to serve its purpose.

As an Architect, design to suit your client's life style and as a homeowner, insist on what suits you because the Architect is not the one to use the house.

You are right, for me i think the most suitable method is to provide a small lobby that leads to the toilet, incase of whatever smell, or odour, or even the need to prepare after coming out of the toilet. Imagine bumping into the living room directly from the toilet.

Yes I filed for a dispute and possible cashback through my bank because the transaction was not initiated by me.
Visa said that the transaction was successfully carried out using the correct information on the card, no hacking was involved. Hence, undisputed.
The card was used to purchase gift cards which were redeemed same day.

You can still get your money.

But this has to be through law enforcement.

I know the FBI doesn't joke with this kind of crime.

Even the Nigerian law enforcement has the capacity to unmask the guys.

But it is totally up to you to provide the details of the complaint for action to be taken.

If you are willing to share details privately with me, it would be possible to do this.

But I respect your right to move on.

Here's what the FBI said following sentencing in a similar case last April.

“If these defendants thought their million-dollar fraud would go unnoticed simply because they targeted a trillion-dollar company, they were sorely mistaken,” said U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham. “The Justice Department will not tolerate fraud against any company, be it a multinational corporation or a mom-and-pop operation. We are grateful to our FBI partners for their work on this case.”

Under US law, its called wire fraud.
