PLS WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF THIS FOUNDATION CAST

No propaganda or fake news can cover all the recent corruption revelations. Maina, 26b and co.
buhari is the highest thief in Nigeria.

AntiWailer:
Idiots


So i honestly think the f00lish idiots the dullard have around him have been paid and are trying hard to bring down this Govt.

So AGF who initiated the letter was working for the Jonathan and his job is still intact ?

Head of SSS who provided security for the guy are working for GEJ and his job is still intact ?

It is sad that we went from a Clueless Buffon to a Dullard.

We are in trouble and there is no hope for this country again at this rate.

The most amazing thing is that we waited for months for this crop of m0r0ns to be assembled.

No common sense, no graceful words, no actions.

believe me brother, those you liked your post are the ones who read the later part of your post.
you were talking rubbish bro.

to answer you just weak me.
this world is just an irony. A fairytale.

spyder880:
I am always willing to go "plant" a house whenever you tell me to move.

nice, how about planting a similar structure in imo. how would you make out time knowing that you always on tight schedule.

spyder880:
This house is small, total area is only 167.84 Sqm (10275 X 17850)

The ground floor and upper floor rooms..........

I have started stocking up materials for my house, very similar to this one and also same size approximately 10380 by 18750.
so far i have about 10k blocks, different sizes, my y16 rods are 100pcs, y12 rods 300pcs, granite stones 1 trailer of 3 trips already on site and i'm expecting another delivery of more stones.
now my problem is that the architect i contracted my house to is really delaying my work. i would have used others but their charges were extremely too much so i settled for this guy that is delaying my job. i dont really want to rush him though so that i can have enough time to gather everything in place before my work commence.
pls i'd like to know, what numbers of those rods were used in this your structure. and how many trips of stones, from foundation to roofing.
i want to have an idea of how much more materials to get so as not to exceed the required quantity and have too many excesses.
thanks.

A second issue I have is the plan itself. It was made for me by a friend, a Julius Berger architect who didn't do a modern plan for me. Being a novice I didn't realize that the reigning separate roofing of modern buildings is established and determined from the foundation itself. He just drew a rectangle kind of a thing and the builders are saying that my roof has to be one big rectangular shape. Is there any amendment I can do to alter this? Pls I need help as I will commerce decking work. Thanks in anticipation.

I'm so much in love with this your gate, can you tell us the cost sir.
thanks

spyder880:
I have just gotten to this land, to properly mark the whole perimeter beacons around this land.....

oga spyder pls i need an update on this project

spyder880:
As we all have seen , only 3 plots of land has been paid for in this whole land. This is not encouraging enough for me to keep putting more money and resources into this venture. I had stopped updating the thread in the hope that people might ask further questions, especially this dry season, but it seems the pockets of the inhabitants of this state is dry now.

The lesson I learnt here is that land and property business is not as hot as it is in Enugu/Anambra axis (maybe I am wrong sha)

I am planning to refund the funds of all that sent me money for this planned estate in Owerri and move for another new estate in Enugu or Anambra State later this year.

Ndi Owerri, Ekelekwaa mu unu oo

so have you finally abandoned this wonderful project?
pls i need an update on this project sir.

spyder880:
You can do it that way, but it's important to get a qualified professional to look at the ground and also see if it will work in your location. All grounds are not the same.

thanks alot sir, the location is ideator north, imo state. a very strong solid ground.

spyder880:
Can I use 6" blocks to build my house instead of 9"?

The choice of blocks to use is backed by so many factors, most people prefer to use blocks with less width to reduce their expenses on concrete and even reduce their cost of blocks since 6" blocks are less costly that their 9" counterparts. Reduction of building costs is usually the main reason for this. Other reasons include the need for more room, as slimmer blocks can add some millimeters to your room sizes, other reasons might include weight reduction.

There are so many situations where we need to be very careful on the block type we use. There are places in a building where the width of your columns matter so much. Those corners of the house the columns bear a substantial load and thus needs to be more sturdy.

I will also sound a note of warning here, please ensure that a qualified professional looks at your building plan, the land and then the methods you might want to use before he will advice on the type of blocks to use. Things like the block type to use are usually spelt out in the structural drawings of a house plan.

great insight sir,
just a little question to ask, i believe in your judgement much more than that of alot of other engineers.
I initially wanted to build my duplex with the 6'' solid and hollow blocks due to space constraints but now i'm thinking of changing my mind to use the 9'' hollow blocks for the foundation and external walls of my down floor only (to give enough room for large pillars and columns), I intend to use my 6'' solid blocks for partitioning on the down floor too, while i use only my 6'' hollow blocks for all walls on my upper floor.
pls i really need your advice on this.

Chekitaut:
Location sir?

imo state

spyder880:
This are pictures of the foundation, now filled with soil.

mentor spyder, i have a plan to erect a 5 bedroom duplex on a small land of 50*80, i would have loved to use 9" hole on the entire ground floor but do to space constraint, it may not be possible. So i ask, will it be technically ok to use a 9" block for only foundation and then use 6" solid for demarcations on the ground floor and 6" hollow for the upper floor.
thanks

spyder880:
There may not be any difference.

i really appreciate your prompt response sir, i wonder how you manage to give attention to each of the questions thrown to you despite your tight schedule.
pls sir, my last question is about iron rod storage. As a low income earner, it is alot easier for some of us to buy iron rods installmentally while getting ready to start a building project, but the challenge there is the rust. Does rust have any significant effect on the stability of a building. Like i explained earlier. It is almost impossible to stack the entire money for iron rods as the price may rise in response to the exchange rate. And i don't plan to build in batches, i intend to have all important materials but the roof down before starting the project.
i hope you understand me sir.

spyder880:
It is not a bad idea. I have done this in the past. In one site I was making blocks, I noticed that their river sand is too sharp (has too many teeth) that it will be breaking as you remove the metal mold.
We bought more trips of soft plastering sand and added to the sharp sand, it solved the problem and we had very good block products.

Oga spyder, i started moulding my blocks for a 5 bedroom duplex 3MONTHS ago due to ur inspirations and to the glory of God i have over 6000pcs moulded and stacked, and will be up to 10,000pcs by november, i've also made arrangements for iron rods and stones.
my question is, my dad is in charge of my work in the village and the initial sands i bought b4 coming to Lagos was the whitish sharp sand. I sent my kid brother home last week to get pictures of the ongoing work and i discovered the recent sand they used wasn't the whitish sharp sand but the usual local sharp sand. Pls is there any difference in the strength and stability of blocks moulded with these two types of sand because the size they are moulding now is the 6" solid i intend to use for foundation.
meanwhile my dad said there is no difference in the two.
pls what's your opinion about this.

spyder880:

spyder880:
joining and elongating the rods to connect the foundation with the rest of the structure

is this a 16mm iron rod sir?

and a new trend is born

THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA....

Two kids are born August 31st, 1980, one in Kano (Jubril) another in Enugu (Emeka). They go to primary school in those areas and get to Primary 6, now the twist begins.

They both take Federal Common Entrance, Emeka scores 168/200 and Jubril 16/200. For some silly quota system, they both end up in the same class at Federal Government College, Enugu (FGCE). Emeka continues to come 1st-3rd in the class of 30 and Jubril 25-29th/30. 6 years later, WASCE and JAMB are taken. Emeka had 6As and 2Cs (WASCE) and 286/400 (JAMB) while Jubril had 5Cs and 2Ps and 106/400 in JAMB. Again by a warped and weird stroke they end up in the same Law Faculty in University of Nigeria, Enugu campus.

5years later Emeka graduates with 2-1 and Jibril with a Pass! Emeka is done with Law school at Abuja - No Job after NYSC. Jubril as soon as he gets out of Abuja Law school then one year NYSC gets a job as a Magistrate at the Federal Magistrate Court Abuja, 2 years later he is promoted as a Judge.

Emeka still struggling, decides to join some Trio Igbo Law outfit in Abuja as a junior lawyer. 5 years later he is still carrying files and coming to defend low level cases at Jubril's court.

Now, you are Emeka or Emeka's relative, kit and kin, will you want Nigeria to continue like this. No way! That's the problem with Nigeria as it is. It's strongly skewed to the advantage of a particular ethnic group in Nigeria and cannot continue. Plain and Simple!!!!

Then one day Emeka finds his way to Canada or England, he immediately thrills them with his brilliance and in less than 5 years he becomes a full fledged Professor. That's what Nigeria is doing to the Igbos.
My dear, I want Biafra.
