Who gave the hediot chair to sit?
Why release him after this confession, he should be handed over to the appropriate authority..
Or better still castrate him.

Defending his shenanigans

Use of chicken mesh wire for crack repairs.

When settlement occurs in a building, cracks can occur between some concrete structural elements and the block wall due to thermal change.

When repairing such cracks , it is advisable to use chicken mesh wire. This is placed at the joints between the two members before plastering the crack.

The chicken mesh wire will strengthens the plaster against forces that might want to pull them apart.

The second part of the warehouse renovation works.

For a bungalow, I would suggest option 2, cos using steel to roof a bungalow can be quite expensive but you will still need internal colum(s) to support the beam.

Why not share the architectural plan so we can see how best to break the span and still have your open living/ kitchen space.

jelloh:
I'm in the process of working with my architect to design a simple 4 bedroom bungalow and I need the inputs of the esteemed members of this community. I want to have an open plan living area that combines the living and dining rooms and the kitchen, and I don't want there to be any pillars. This living area will be 32ft long by 28ft wide

My architect is insisting that there must be at least one row of pillars in the middle as well as along the perimeter walls to make up for the reduced walls. I'm fine with pillars in the perimeter walls since they will be hidden but I don't want any pillars in my living room. So what are the most structurally sound and economical options?

So far we have these choices
1. Use thicker roof joists and have a normal wood frame roof
2. Use concrete beams to span the width of the house and mount a normal wood frame roof
3. Use a steel frame roof

Please can you advise me on the best option and what dimensions to use. Thanks a lot in advance. Below is the sketch I gave my architect

I'm humbled. Many thanks.

FEGEITOK:
I had wanted to comment who else sees something wrong with that comment.

I am glad you have come to the rescue.

These streets explain why some people will prosper and others will forever ask "God why?"

If I needed an engineer, I would pick the lady over and above the guy you quoted.

I am sure I speak for a lot of reasonable people on this thread

Thanks. I appreciate.

As far as this forum is concerned, I would rather say thank you to her. My personal opinion anyway!

Minimum distance a building should be away from road to avoid demolition

Federal Highway (Primary) – 90 m right of way. 45 m from the centre to the property line (75 ft, 60 ft)
State Highway (Secondary) – 60 m right of way. 30 m from the centre to the property line (50 ft, 45ft)
Local Road (State) – 24 m, 18 m, 15 m, 12 m, 9 m, 7.5 m, 6 m right of ways respectively from the centre to the property line as applicable (31 ft, 25 ft).

In fencing a land located along a main road, what's the standard setback from the main road to the fence?

Selfish politicians.

They are owing pensioners but busy approving money for themselves and their wives.

These are the people thunder should strike.

Not every woman becomes dark and ugly during pregnancy, Some are pretty or nice looking.

This guy needs rehabilitation

FACT. Renovation is not cheap.

Amosaloud:
I am not sure about the scope of renovation you want to carry out but I can outline the steps I followed in my renovation project.
1. I sat down with an architect to conceptualise the ideas and changes I wanted and how I wanted to make use of the space. He then measured the old building and produced a few computer generated images with these ideas and some suggestions of his own. Once we were both in agreement, he produced final drawings for the builders to work with.
2. I got myself a builder/civil engineer (the choice is yours if you just want to use an experienced bricklayer but due to previous experience I opted for a certified builder.
3. I purchased all the materials (your builder will advise you) to meet the various milestones until completion of the project and paid for labour as required.
4. The biggest lesson from all these was making sure the artisans were well supervised. So many corrections had to be made due to deviation from the original plan and in some cases negligence/laziness or just wickedness (I think!). Always let the professionals guide you but also watch your budget. Some may make you do much more than originally planned.
5. The biggest surprise was totalling my expenses and finding out that renovation is not as cheap as they make you believe when you start!


Good luck.

How old is this building?

Even If you are not remodelling the building, you still need to itemise what and where the upgrade will be.

Hope you are not removing the "solid clay blocks" cos you need to be very careful if there will be any breaking for new openings for doors or windows during the process.

Better get a professional to assist with the new design and engage a builder or engineer in construction works.

yinkaoke:
Hello guys, please what other options can one employ to develop or upgrade a building without engaging a developer. The building is old with solid clay blocks and need not be demolished and rebuild but just to do upgrade to maintain the one story building. Note the owners has not money for the upgrade and does not want to do developer contract thing?
Thank you as you suggestion great

These ones aren't bothered about the unemployed youths roaming the streets in search of jobs.

How will they get into the workforce if the old ones don't want to leave.
This isn't good IMO

Very true. The teachers and school curriculum need constant trainings and reviews.


Mr Yao described the curriculum as overloaded, outdated and short of present-day development, hence the need for review.

We are getting ready to construct another set of residential apartments .

We are done with all the design drawings and
the approval is out already.

More pictures showing the Baptistery.

This is a mini pool located on the second floor of the building. It is common in Baptist churches for baptising their members.

Waist beads are fashion and cultural elements some women wear to beautify their bodies. It can also be used to check weight gain or loss.

Congrats to her.

Couples need to embrace and seek alternative to natural conception early.

God bless and keep the child and parents.

He should have informed the bank instead of spending the money. He no do well at all.

This is seriously serious. Go for deliverance.

Oni yeye

My mum would wake me up in the middle of the night to correct me. She will tell me to open my Bible and read the book of Proverbs 4: 20 -22.

After which she will now tell me the story of my birth. Then end it will prayers.

All these in the night oo.

Every sane Nigerian youth and all should be tired of a country that isn't working..

A country with abundant human and natural resources failing and falling anyhow.

He talks and acts anyhow. He will just implicate himself.

This is sad very sad. May God comfort the family especially the parents.

May such never occur in our lives.

The things we hear can make even the ears go deaf.
