More updates from the garage house

EgunMogaji:
So today marks the end of filling the foundation on my main house. With a final push today it was done after 400 tonnes of laterite at a cost of N283,000 for laterite and N74,000 for the people that did the filling to a total of N357,000

Do I win the award of most laterite used in a foundation?

Oh the padlock chicken coop garage apartment also took an additional N84,000 for laterite and N24,000 for the people that did the filing. Total tonnage for that one was 120 tonnes.

So for my project 520 tonnes at a cost of N465,000

Don't buy a sloppy land and if you do for the love of God design a building that can be stepped. Don't be like EgunMogaji AdekeJeje Jabi Esu

From what u can see here o, I don't think you have a sloping site. Most of the fillings are above natural ground level.

Onuokwu:
Hehehe...that's the reality of life in these present times. They abound especially amongst those that move in groups to cast DPC or suspended slabs. True...always better than runs or being wholly dependent on a man.

It is just the society that discrimate against women doing technical job like carpentry, Masson, tiler etc. Those job are much better than odd job of selling pure water on the highway

EgunMogaji:
An excellent side benefit to her from her work though is that she'll be as fit as a horse, naturally and without gym or supplements.

I pity the Husband that's going to try to push her around, shovel upside the head will work to reset him

Domestic violence is not that comon among Nigerian men....

Onuokwu:
Did you say that is a gate house? Hmmm.....with the way it is turning out, maybe i will come and rent the thing.

What type of roofing are you going to use here cos it seems so close to the fence if not merged with it? Please be sure to show us the finished product when you are done!

Yes my oga, we are going to put a slab on top as the roof.

We will definitely show you the finished product my oga

EgunMogaji:
More example of bad work, this time it's german floor that wasn't well compacted.

This is structural failure as result of variety of problem like.
1. Poor compaction
2. Inadequate thickness of floor slab,
3. Poorly reinforced floor slab.

skimanski:
I remember the Argument I had with Eghosa Johnny Regarding one of his Bungalow he didn't Put Iron reinforcement. This is what Happens.

I remembered the argument then.. . He was building a raft foundation according to him and he fail to put reinforcement in the dpc.

People always mistaken slab on grade as raft foundation. Slab on grade can be built on perimeter beam supported by piers. But raft foundation is mainly built to spread the load uniformly over a large contact area.

The major problem with that foundation type is not even settlement of dpc but shear failure and diffential settlement of the perimeter beams that are not properly connected by floor slab

Good rendering job! I like the groove. Not so many renders can do such a perfect job. Hence the reason I go for PVC groove in larger walls.

How do you do that pvc groove my oga.. . Do you have any pictures so that we can learn as well?

bros Qatar is the richest country in the world,having them on our side isn't a bad thing. And i don't think they made her cover her hair. Which one is the ibo talk again, aren't we all Nigerians, Lets not allow tribalism divide us, there's strength in number and we have that together as a nation. #onenigeria

Qatar is not the richest country on earth man. It is embarrassing to always be second class everywhere you go because of our social economy situation

AbuHammaad:
People just love to say what they don't know

Unfortunately, we're in a country where ignorance holds sway.If any of you know how much weight that name Al-Saud carries in Saudi
Arabia, you'll all bury your heads in shame.The house of Saud is the ruling royal family in Saudi Arabia.That's the most powerful family in the country alongside the Aal-As-Shaykh family and it's eternal .Anyone from these two families is an authority.The fact that Buhari didn't meet king salman doesn't mean he met lower-class people.Saudi doesn't operate our kind of system.There's nothing like president and besides we're talking about Riyadh.Incase he doesn't know, Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

But because this is coming from someone who people see as an "intelligent" person, everyone agrees with him.Herd mentality

Smh

It is an embarrassment to Nigeria a country of 175million people to be disrespected by a corrupt Saudi ruling family, a country of just mere 27million people. People need to. Educate themselves and stop this slave mentality towards Arabs or white because of man made religion.

Without crude oil, Saudi will just be another Yemen ( barren unproductive desert)

EgunMogaji:
Out of curiosity, was the approval in place before ground breaking and there was an issue with construction or it wasn't in place?

Thanks.

It wasn't in ongoing

masterpower:
Ive always said that its its only a few Yorubas that truly acquired good education and they are very sound as icons in their various fields but the rest are nothing but chaffs because they are product of Quota system.
Let the woman honourable resign.

Senseless comment... This means you know all the yorubas in Nigeria?
