OK, while the carpentry work is still on, we will proceed with the casting while waiting for the carpenters to round off.. The mixture must be well mixed and watery too but not too much.

Leveling that is well done is key for a good parapet and roof.

Shortly after bamboo scaffold, we have to kick off with the fascia otherwise known as Parapet

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 3:11pm On Oct 22, 2017
the frontage looks will be wonderful with porches. However lets see how the porches will make the building better .

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 8:12pm On Oct 22, 2017
Why workmen finds it difficult to take safety measures in sites is what I can't just tell...


The brace support needed for the parapet are here, all we need are straight planks for this kind of fascia.

The block holes must be filled with some pieces of block.

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 4:51am On Oct 23, 2017
Almost done with it but the earlier the casting the better so that the planks won't get bent by the weather, which will affect the shape after casting.

Parapet reinforcement is a way of chaining the parapet beam with a sizable millimeter bar to the centre pillars of the house.

Parapet reinforcement is key and should be observed in all parapet construction to avoid collapse.

See how we reinforced the parapet...

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 7:50am On Oct 23, 2017
More on the parapet, its a careful construction that needs accuracy. More pics of how this design looks As well as the porches will be shown after loosing the plancks.

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 10:15pm On Oct 25, 2017

Parapet casting... Of course not with a very watery concrete for workability sake.


We consider an eletrical piping for a droplight under the porches


...wall plate steel rope for the roof reinforcement is very necessary

We are done with parapet and under-deck Plastering, ongoing now is wall plastering.

With Yoruba plaster sand only, you are likely going to have several cracks on the wall but a mixture of Yoruba and sharp sand in equal proportion will give you a perfect plaster morter that will not crack.

Don't mind me sir, that is the common name down here in the Eastern part of Nigeria, but what I mean is mud sand.
