You can't tell me who to support.

I'll rather not vote, than to vote sowore.

Hope it really works cos I'm thinking of going natural.

Painting of walls

Sad, no where is safe again.

A rising star shot in his prime.

When will human lives matter in this country. Even our hospitals aren't equipped enough to save lives.

RIP to the dead. �

Some women are not just entitled but stupid too.
Seriously did she type this and expect us to clap for her?.
Doesn't your mum have her own children as well?
He is building for his mum, you too build for yours simple. If your mum deserves one her children can contribute money to buy land and build for her.

Na wa o.

The bolded is the issue you need to attend to.

The columns and the hollow blocks can't withstand the pressure from the water hence the fall.

You need to provide a channel for the water to flow through or construct a reinforced concrete retaining wall at that point to withstand the water pressure otherwise this collapse of your wall will be a reoccurring issue.

ThisisBuhari:
This particular side of my farmland fence failed for the second year running as a result of rain water. The back of the fence is sloppy, so all the rain water coming down from behind lodge at the back of the fence. So last year after the fence failed, we constructed four concrete pillars, and still it failed yesterday again. Although, someone suggested that I do a drainage to pass through the farmland but I am not disposed to the idea because of reptiles that may be gaining access into the land, so we didnt do that.

Engineers in the house, please what do you advice I do to stop this recurrence.

Thanks

It's sad that his daughter is sick and needs a kidney transplant but why not go thru the right route.

There are people who are willing and ready to donate their organs and are above 18years. He should have sought those one and look for a match for his daughter instead of this mess he's put himslf into.

Here's one country that works cos he would have gotten away with it had it been he wanted to do it here.

Post your email address I'll send a mail.

Please check your mail . I replied already concerning the Intern

His message to her is unnecessary and childish. It shows he's still angry with her for not marrying him.

hope all is well with him and his marriage too?

She should just ignore him.

True Talk..

I accommodated my church member once and had to tell her to leave after some months cos I had become a squatter in my own house. She brought in her family and almost took over my house( my space, food stuffs, privacy..)

I learnt to help from afar especially when it's money and accommodation related issues.

Plastering completed.

Scaffolding removed.

Sand filling around the building commences

Aluco cladding

The Engr. of course should take the blame for poor supervision.

But here I was assuming the possible cause of the issue at hand.

I said it could be that the carpenter did not transfer the right door size / height which means the door installed might be smaller than the carpenter's opening just as you suggested.

Lintel level to me, is not about number of block courses even though most people work with this, but height of door. Your lintel level should be such that gives enough clearance for fixing of the doors without breaking the concrete or having to fill so much. This will be easier if the door height is known and worked with.
Pre fabricated doors come with their dimensions for a reason. Most people assume all doors are of the same height which is not always true infact most times we assume the door is 2.1m high.

This is just a possible cause of the issue...

diordaves:
Engr Aforzxy how is the bolded possible? In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the carpenter. This lies squarely on the engineer.

Lintel are introduced after about 9 courses of block for "standard design". Let me know if this is incorrect. So the carpenter take the level from the 9th course to construct the formwork for the lintel. With this the issue of so much floor clearance as with this situation should not arise. Or the [b]doors are extra short.
[/b]
Please feel free to correct my understanding.

If it is indeed the lintel level like you guessed, this is very worrying regarding the quality of the tradespeople handling the built.

It's either the caprenter did not transfer the right height of door around your walls while forming the llintel or your floor level is uneven. If it's the latter then the level difference should have been noticed while laying your blocks.

Anyways get a tiler to transfer the tile finshed level across the rooms and see the difference in the levels. Then make up the difference with concrete or mortar before laying the tiles.

MrOkenwa:
Engineers, Builders and homeowners.
I need some advice here.
I’m concerned about the wide gap between the floor and doors installed at the front doors and in all the rooms.
It’s so wide that I have a feeling the tilers may not be able to close them all.
What could have Been the reason for this?
Pls how do you deal with that in construction?

More plastering

I smell lies.

Aunty continue dey deceive yourself by yourself.

This is disheartening.

Whistle blowers cannot be trusted too. We just need to be extra vigilant.

topsy23:
We need to get whistle blower around our site . This is an estate with no access to outsiders except people working in that estate . Government can't do everything for us now. We to be vigilant especially people leaving in that area. Those guys doesn't know the worth or values of those cables. Some of them are just wicked soul.

Cables and pumping machine were stolen.

Yes, some parts of the works were subcontracted.
We actually have a team of subcontractors that we work well with..

zexy2030:
Did you sub contract ? You did a good job.

I saw a vacancy on the newspaper. I applied for the post cos I met most of the requirements. I was short listed , did the interviews and got the job..

No connections whatsoever but divine favour

Brownshoe:
how did you got the job? Is that the answer to the question.

I got a high paying job with an oil and gas downstream company. I was their project engineer.. I handled their projects across Nigeria. It was a highly rewarding job..

I saved my extras..

Wow!. Educative, informative and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

The completed building

How can a grown woman allow herself to be deceived like this because of religion. Your bishop asked you to remove your cloth and you foolishly obeyed then went back again even after being raped only to be raped again.. Are you okay like this?.

You should have left his church and reported the idiot the very first time. Or could there be more to this?

This pastor should be dealt with as well. You deceive your followers and rape them. Not one, not two. He should be castrated.

Gullible followers everywhere.

Plastering continues

Aluminum windows in place

It's really sad what you are going thru.

I wonder how your relationship was before you guys got married. I'm sure you saw the signs but assume she's goodly type.

Anyways, your wife could be one of the overly religious ones that believe intercourse is for procreation only or she is circumcised which could make her not to enjoy the act.

Also how is her work schedule? Is she a working class lady or house wife.
Is she always busy and overwhelmed with chores? Cos this can be so demanding , couple with taking care of the kids.

Take her out and have a heart to heart talk with her and if necessary, seek a marriage counsellor to help out. Hopefully she will change for good.
