I wish My fellow Student the best this year, may those that are not Landlord yet by the special grace of the LORD become one this year as we learn more.
From my own piont of view, I think that all the topics in this thread should be seperated as it as been doing before by Lord Spyder880. Becuase each buliding is unique and we have a lot to learn from them, bringing them under one roof will cuase a lot of confussion and the intrest and fun will no long be they. We should take an example from what happened when Lord AM Alone and Lord spyder880 were Educating us on Different project in thesame topic.a lot of confussion arised.But if Lord Spyder 880 can open up a new Thread whenever he have a contract, that will be nice and fun too as we learn from different angles and also issues since every buliding is unique.
Eze goes back to school.
HAPPY NEW YEAR To ALL. More blessings from above, as we all are already BLESSED.
JAH GUIDE. RASTAFRIAN I AND I,  MAN DIE GO. WOMAN BORN MORE !!!!!!! SHALOM.

Thank you prince. For 2 flats of 3 bedroom, you will need 3500-4000 blocks from decking till next decking, all depending on room sizes and other feutures. If its 9" blocks, you can get 33 good blocks from one bag of cement from moulding, and please dont forget to water your blocks for some time before use.

@Spyder: 3,500-4000 blocks? I would've sworn that they told me something like 6,500-7000 blocks! Maybe that's for everything till roofing but honestly I was thinking I need 6,500 for just the top two 3bedrooms flat. I also intend to use 9" only for the outer frame then 6" blocks for demarcation. So, how many 6" block do u think I can get per bag of cement?
As per opening, updating, and following up with the different and new thread, it all up to you. If you think you can handle it then that's fine. As for me whenever am here I just go back and read from my last post instead of searching from one thread to the other. All the same I think the last two guys kind of simplified it a little more! And like someone else also asked, what will you do or how will you handle the whole thread if you have 15-20 different projects going on? That will cause a whole lot of thread to be ab andone/neglected especially project under low budget/income.

For my clients who are trying to decide between internal and external piping of waste from their upcoming projects, just keep this picture in mind, after the young man packed into this house, soon there was a leakage of waste and they had to open the walls and do the piping afresh. Imagine how the whole house will be smelling.

Thanks for explaining more on the block. Will the blocks still be strong after getting 43/44 from a bag? Anyway, I'll deal with that towards the end of the month and when I talk with the guys that will mould the blocks.
Per the picture above, I have witnessed that at a friends house which is why all mine are external [b]except the electric cables[/b].

Pictures of external piping works being loaded now. To keep the debate balanced, we need to see the external pipes.
