spyder880: I have been enjoying this building, the detailed application of engineering processes which the builders are giving us here is very educative. Please let us all try and tone down our words so as to keep this beautiful thread and project alive.
@ enugubr, please call and confirm the roles of everyone who is a part of this building, in my own opinion, there is just too many layers of supervision and this always breeds friction as everyone tries to assert their authority. In building and in life in general, "Too many cooks spoil the broth" Please handle issues with your builders in private, we are only interested in the completed building, and God will bless you to finish this house in good time, but not in two months time Sir Hajj Mufutau may be afraid of such hastily assembled house and may "dodge" the house opening ceremony.
@ abdulwastecx and Podosci, my friends, I just love your works. But do more of working and less of replying. This our work is the most stressful job in the world, often times, Un appreciated by those on the ground. But you will go far in this work. Please, "Always say less than necessary" try and resolve issue offline. Keep up the good work, thanks. Thank you sir |

EgunMogaji: Process is a bit slower than I expected.
Lesson learned, the slope of the wall should first be constructed before the roof goes on.
I'm very happy for the way its coming up though. Roofer is locked and loaded. Sir the best way is to construct the roof truss before the gable wall. The reason is that the tie beam can rest on the wall below, you can even have a wall plate below. When you construct the gable before the roof truss, you will have to break something part of the gable which may not be too OK. |

EgunMogaji: More fancier ones I love these roof drains, beautifully done. This method collecting water keeps the site very dry and the collected water can be use for wetting of flowers at least. I will copy some of these ideas for my subsequent job |

EgunMogaji: Thank you Sir.
Thea reality is that it could definitely be faster but I am purposefully going slow. House construction is a marathon, slow and steady wins the race. I like what I have been seeing so far, you make sure each stages of the job are attended to properly |

AZUH: @ Abdul . What did you see ? State the errors . I don't really like to criticize other people's work, but I think attentions ware not really paid to details or may be you didn't provide them the required materials. From your pictures, those pillars (column) were cast using local stone, cement content seems very low, the section looks too small etc. The plastering looks very rough, may be you give it to your village people because you want very cheap workmanship etc. Vertical alignment look very poor |

AZUH: Corrupt Nigerians . More pictures ! Pls advice . Thanks We need more pictures oga. If the water coming in is as a result of surface run off then you can carried out the following remedial work provided you foundation is off sufficient depth. 1. Construct a channel round the building. The channel should be at least 3ft wide and 1ft deap. 2. Lay blocks across the other side of the channel. 3. Screed the bed of the channel with concrete of 1:3:6 4.Plaster the channels with a very rich cement content (preferably 1:4, one bag of cement to 8 head pan of plaster sand) 5.apply a sealant across the building area or wetted perimeter of the house in the channel. 6.Landscape your site so that it will drain easily into o the channel. 7.Connect a pvc pipe across the channel at two different point to main drainage. 8.The PVC pipe shouldn't be less than 4,, and must be cast into a culvert like to protect breakage due to traffic above it. 9.Install roof drain and let it drain into the channel. 10.Finally provide a small bridge across the channel into you from varrander and out of the exist. Sketches to explain the listed procedure will follow soon

HardMirror: I will keep this simple.
Many believe in God and Vodoo (black magic, charms, spiritualism), but as the popular saying goes, "Action speaks louder than Voice"
I see no reason why we should put so much effort in talking about God when demonstration of God is all we need.
Here are some cases to consider.
1. Where do you rush accident victims? Church or Hospital? Even pastors would say it is foolish to take accident victims to church instead of hospital. Why? Are they indirectly saying it is foolish to trust God?
2. Where is God in times of epidemics/pandemics? Has God ever stopped any disease outbreak? Polio has been eradicated from any countries through vaccines and research. How many diseases has God ended? Within the last 15 years we have suffered, SARS, BIRD FLU, SWINE FLU, EBOLA, LASSA FEVER, ZIKA outbreaks. While science was giving tangible proven solutions, what was God doing?
3. Who are the richest people in the world, are they those who did Blood money? Are they those who worship God? Even if you say some of them believe in God, what about Millions who go to Shiloh and Holy Ghost Congress every year and shout amen to Mighty prayers of great wealth? How rich are they today?
4. Where was our Juju when the whites were colonizing us? Where was God?
5. If something works, would there be need to get something else? If Juju and God works, why do we keep improving on Technology and Science why not Improve on Juju and Faith in God? Does it make sense to spend Billions of dollars on Milatary research when Juju is ridiculously cheap? Why build space crafts when Witchcraft can take you to space within seconds?
6. Why conduct experiments to solve medical and life problems when all we have to do is just go on our Knees and ask God? Or Ask Ifa? While developed countries are "wasting" Billions on research, why are we not simply asking our oracles for direct answer? Or asking God. Don't you thing we would have made Trillions of dollars from secrets Ifa or God reveals to us?
You can preach God all you want, you can praise Juju all you want. What I know is they don't matter where it matters.
Thank you
