There was serious merriment immediately this decking was completed as the owner brought out some cartons of shine-shine bobo, Gulder and pammy for the guys to relax with. |

@spyder880. Well done for a good job. Love this last picture. The beauty of the building is already coming out. No wonder the owner brought out shakis for merriment. Btw, you mean say you guys shack everything without remaining any for us that has been praying for you to have a good weather for this decking work?. @Fhemmmy. Iam sure spyder880 will not mind if you send that concrete machine FOC to him from obodo oyibo. |

NL1960: I reserved a bottle for each of my guys that prayed, just look behind your computer and open a bottle of e-shak to celebrate with us |

Thanks Spyder for demystifying the myth that surrounds building in its entirety. Do you blame a novice like me. I have heard it said that it's unthinkable for you to deck a house beyond one day. It's either it cracks or presents an uneven surface. But with what I've seen done through you and your team yesterday, the belief as far as I'm concerned is in the trash can. Thanks for your simplicity. Thanks for this "BUILDING MADE SIMPLE" and not only "REAL COST OF, ". Thanks for all the contributors in the house. I truly appreciate your efforts. I can't quantify the depth of knowledge passed down to us novices. Still waiting to get the details of the real quantity of rods, woods, gravels and sand used. Congratulations SPYDER. |

Keep up the great work coming |

Fhemmmy hi? Will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for the mails. Will definitely let you know the choice made and then we start from there. You're doing a great job in the Auto section too. God increase and multiply you. I appreciate. |

Lord Spyder880 I just love the way your blocks sit around the concrete. The pix are breath taking especially the innovation of using blocks on the parapet. So lovely  Well done sir. |

| Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by Fhemmmy: 11:46pm On Oct 24, 2011 |

When my friend and neighbor called me this morning, I thought we were going to talk about his favourite topic, lands, but he asked me to come and help his engineer supervise his decking coming up by tomorrow. He wants to make sure there aren't any mistakes. I just called my boys to move to the site tomorrow and work for their money. More stories after the decking tomorrow. |
| Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by spyder880(m): 11:55am On Oct 26, 2011 |
Still at the friend's decking site, these guys are really serious, lovely house but there are things about this plan and materials used that I dont like, pictures later. |
| Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by Fhemmmy: 1:40pm On Oct 26, 2011 |
Waiting patiently to see the pix and the list of what you dont like . . . so that we would know what to stay away from |

^^^ Oga mi its the steps o, I mentioned in one of my posts that the staircase should be wide enough to accomodate two people walking side by side and there should be landing step before you turn to complete your ascent, I also mentioned that the steps should not be too steep, 6-8" is okay for each rung, so you dont have to leap up each rung but shuffle as you climb. (Remember we will get old one day, and that it will be one heavy task for an old man/woman to climb steps if its too steep) . But the steps in this my friend's house is like one tunnel I have seen in the movies. One person (wey don chop up) will be squeezing to climb through the stairs. In case of emergency, that stair is an accident on its own. Houses should be built so the person living in it dont suffer but make his life easier. |

THE FOLLOWING 4 PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT A SITE OWNED BY MY FRIEND, I WAS CALLED TO LOOK THE DECK OVER BEFORE THEY START THE DECKING, I FOUND SOME FAULTS THERE AND DECIDED TO SHARE. This wooden step is usually made before a deck is poured, it will be used by labor boys to carry concrete to the top of the deck. No problems with this wooden method, but I prefer the concrete steps instead, that's what I do in my sites.

I don't like using these white pipes as conduit pipes in a deck. These are the brand we call 'destiny' brand and they are very soft to touch. It usually bends under pressure, blocking a pipe way when marched upon by concrete boys, I was not the engineer in charge, but I will not allow it if this was to be my site. The white pipes are cheaper, for the best, use 'Niger pipes'

This is the step that got me fuming with the architect who was also on site when I came, how can you build a 3ft tunnel as a stairway and expect a whole family to be using this 'trap' as the only stairway up and down this beautiful house?

I hate to see unsafe work, how can these people leave rods sticking out without being tied at the ends, (see those single rods sticking out alone?) I make sure my rods must reach the edge of the deck where it will be tied and bent backwards, we call it 'returning a rod', that will make it more firm and prevent a situation where it can slip out if excessive pressure occurs on the structure. My rod requirement may be more, but the quality of the house is over assured. 1 Like

@spyder880 : 'This wooden step is usually made before a deck is poured, it will be used by labor boys to carry concrete to the top of the deck. No problems with this wooden method, but I prefer the concrete steps instead, that's what I do in my sites.' If you concrete steps instead, what happens after the decking has been poured, do you then dismantle the concrete step or you leave it as an addition to the house?. To me, since it is just for pouring concrete during one or two days of decking work, a temporary wooden step is preferable. A wooden step is easier to tear down. spyder880: Looking at this picture, is this step one straight and continuous step or is there another one that takes you to the top of the building?. If it is one straight and continuous step, i wonder how people will climb it without getting tired. |

Thanks for the great lecture, unsafe work could be dangerous and do agree with you that we need to stay off it. |

@ Spyder880, What are the pros and cons of not using a German floor for a bungalow building? Is it safe to build the foundation with 14 pillars holding the building together and when the building gets to roofing level, the German floor will be done. The reason for this is so that the sand on the foundation can better compress over time before the roofing stage. By this time, the sand would have compressed some more, then more sand filling done before the German floor is finally done. What's your take and expert advise on this? |
