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.

Ha! OK.

Rounding off interior plastering

Gauge workout for outside plaster...


* cut the flat wood
* mix mortar
* fix the flat wood on the already placed mortar
* the gauge should be at the two ends
* use long plum to confirm the level
* transfer the level inbetween the ends


Example.....

....so we continued

Installation of windows, Dressing of windows and window inbuilt security

We did plaster Window hood because it's better , hood design are simple but appears Beautiful especially on casement windows. However our considerations are:

*Size of the window hood is 3inches by 6 inches
*Light thickness ( if huge it's likely going to fall over the years)
* At least an inch gap from the window frame
* Immediate cleaning of the window and lubrication for proper opening after work is advised

Immediate cleaning of the window rail and profile is advised for free opening.




Casement Window configuration

* Nigerian profile (economy) white
* front windows are patterned 3 panels ( for beauty)
* blue reflective glass 5mm thickness
* flip up mosquito net ( not yet here )
* sliding toilet windows (6pcs)
* parlour windows size (1.2 by1.5m)
* rooms (900 by 1.5m)
*Toilets (600 by 600)
* Kitchen (750 by 900)¿

Cost total #650,ooo

Is preferable to install doors with door installers not masons. After which the masons can going on with dressing the doors hence foreign door is involve.


American steel door is one of the cheapest foreign doors in the market.

Don't mind the name (it's a Chinese door)

To achieve the purpose of a door with American steel door, you have to employ a door installer otherwise the door will be installed inappropriately. (based on experience)


Cost of one door -- # 17500 (American steel Enugu price)
coupling ----- 1000 per door
Installation ---- 1500 per door

So, # 20,000 * 18 cps = # 360,000 ( for foreign doors)

Handrails and balcony under construction


Configuration:
Balcony :
1) Flat bar 1.5inch by 3mm thickness
2) Black square pipe 1.5inch by 2mm thickness



Handrail:

1) black round pipe 2 inches by 1.5mm thickness
2) black square pipe 2 inches by 1.5 me thickness
3)flat bar 1½ inch by 3mm thickness
4) small iron ball.

....Considering little children we spaced the handrail cautiously.

Total cost of handrails and balcony materials with labour is #90,000


Handrail installation details :

* measure / position the handrail.
* chisel the marked area for the handrail down to the rod
* weld the rail to the step rod you chiseled for a stronger rail.
* the construction /installation should be done carefully, Avoiding unnecessary spacing because of kids.

The rail construction should be very convenient for the step users.
