Adebaxton - really impressed me on how he went about his work. He really made a commitment to get it completed without a hitch. I highly recommend him. He was able to solve issues onsite without dragging me into it. That was commendable

Here is the link tom the fencing portion being completed by Adebaxton.

I am very happy with his attitude to work, pace and quality. I was finally able to make it to site on Sunday About a week after they started work and i had no complaints or cause to correct anything. that is a personal record. Thanks for being a professional.

Mr. Festus has always been the person who does all boreholes on any project i handle.

EgunMogaji:
There are many borehole sinkers in Nigeria and the more the merrier but Mr. Festus has something of value to me. A recommendation by a Nairalander that he has done work for and most importantly, pictorial evidence of this work.

Do you have as such as this for Mr. Femi?

Thanks.

God Bless You Sir, Do have a prosperous week ahead.

EgunMogaji:
Thank you for your time. I perfectly understand the differences now.

I thank all of you builders that take the time to educate curious learners such as me.

PS: I also enjoyed seeing 6" blocks used for fencing. Sometimes I doubt my decision to use 6" for my fence but I feel better seeing you and Oga Spyder880 using it.

I do appreciate your observation Sir,
In addition, The picture you attached had mat because it's going be a load bearing wall and also the partition walls remain constituent of a building unlike a fence.

God Bless You Sir.

EgunMogaji:
Guys, please I have a learning opportunity here. Not a criticism but simply trying to understand building methods.

In first picture I see stacks of rebars which I presume is for the pillar in between the fence to support it.

In second picture I see the walls are up. I don't see any evidence of a mat that the pillars will tie into. I looked closely but I don't even see any mat at all.

In third picture (from SPyder880's thread) I see an example of pillars embedded into the blinding from the get go.

How will the pillars have strength if assuming they don't tie into the mat? Please explain this findings please.

Thanks.
