Thanks sir The cantilever is just 1.2meter

Ok.
It was looking beyond 1.2m. Nice job anyway.

All I can see here is beauty. well done Roteech. What is the length of your cantilever?

Good job.

But where in Nigeria do you get 9 inches block at #200?

Pls, explain how you related iron bender workmanship to kg since iron rods are measured in lenght.

I wrote my final exam in July this year, few weeks later I was in Delta when my course adviser called me to come to school (Uniben), that it's a matter of urgency, I went to school, then I meet her in the HOD office. She told me I failed two courses in my final exam. She said the department is going to upgrade one to "" then wave the other one to me but by imprecation I will graduate as a 2.2 student.
When, I thought about it if I should accept it or come back again to write the two courses (one in 1st semester and the other in 2nd semester) to get 2.1. it was a hard decision for me to make but then I made the decision to accept the offer because of the following reason.
1. Uniben is becoming too stressful/ I'm already tired.
2. The financial expenses involved
3. Economics department in Uniben is not a joke.
4. The probability of me getting "A"s if rewrite the two courses is very low.
5. ASUU and strike
Based on the following reasons I accepted the offer, result came out I graduated as a 2.2 student but some how I started feeling sad. Though 2.2 is not the best but then I also graduate myself. I can't come and kill myself ( schooling in Nigeria university is like war).
If I may ask, did I took the wrong decision?
Opinions please!

You have made the best decision. A bird at hand is better than the one you are expecting.

In the market today, it is not about grade but grace, competency, smartness, technically know how, favor etc.

If your moulder is good at what he does, go ahead with moulding. I recently hired one for a kobo kobo project the blocks were very very strong. We were able to save like 40% of buying from block industry.

Happy Sunday

jabberjawz:



Oga next & other pros in d house, abeg I have one quick and curious question for you....can one use 12mm rod instead of using 16mm rods for the top floor of a 4 bedroom duplex?....I mean for setting the block work of top floor after decking?

Looking forward to your feedback.

If that is the last floor, yes.

Mental Health Issues

Yesterday, my supervisor came to inform me that Peter (a very committed construction worker) started speaking incoherently and we may need to stop him from work.

Peter, a Pastor according to friends, was fully kitted in our health and safety kits but this kit wasn’t enough to protect him from anxiety and depression he’s facing as a result of stigmatization. So he decided to do drugs instead of talking to people again about his challenges.

Most health and safety policies in our companies focus on physical wellbeing of workers instead of becoming an open-book on addressing the mental health issues.

Creating enabling environment where every worker feel confident that the way they feel is okay and you're going to be supportive, not judgemental would help manage more mental health issues in our societies than spending heavily to protect their body while leaving their minds unguarded.

____

I’m not there to diagnose mental health issues. I’m there to quickly detect events of stressful life on my sites and counsel the person involved on the next steps to take.

I’d meet Peter later today.

I love your uniqueness in approaching situations and the healthiness you are creating in built environment. I pray that the "black" in Nigerians don't make one regret doing good.

I started the journey on September, 2020.

And the first thing i did was to look for a plot of land in a dispute-free area.

This is very important because there are many government owned land in Badagry and its environment. Apart from Government owning some land, there are places that people don't really like due to one issue or the other.

So after inspecting 3 different plots, i finally pick a choice. By the way, it was discovered that one of the 3 different plots inspected was in government owned area. Thanks to the proper investigation.

I got the plot of land for 1.8 million Naira. 60ft by 120ft

Congratulations.

Which part of Badagry is your site situated. Am from Badagry.

Keep on the good work.
What is the lenght of the building?

Barrmary:

Response please

Please how many days do I have to wait after the ground floor decking before raising blocks on it for the first floor?

You can start raising upper floor wall after the 3rd day of casting with daily wetting.

Secondly the blocks on my ground Floor have been completely raised from DPC and now waiting for lintel and decking but I want to leave it like that until end of February before going ahead with the next step. Is it okay leaving the blocks open for that long?(5 moths)

Knowledgeable members kindly help with this urgent question.


Thanks

You can leave the structure for that duration, nothing will happen to it.

abuiltech:


Those are not fittings in plumbing, fittings are elbow, tee, sockets etc, while WC, basin, bathtub etc are sanitary wares

That's true. You are right. Thanks.

Icecream4U:
What is fittings?

likes of wc, shower, tap etc.

Icecream4U:
Please, should I do the plastering of my bungalow before plumber work or it's plumber work before plastring?

Run the pipes first before plastering. Then install fittings after plastering and tiling

essayHelp:


Thanks. Do you have any figures for any location? It will still be useful as a ballpark.

There is no ballpark in architectural designs. It ranges with several factors, majorly the brief ( what you want to do/achieve). State the kind of design you want and you will be guided.

Good morning Architect.

I’m honestly selling it as investment land banking for near future use. Lots of people are living there and buildings are springing up, but it’s a new site.

I also like to under promise but over deliver

My suggestion is to do a site visit, either physically or remotely via Google map.

Thanks.

PS: I’ll add some current Google pictures later.

Okay sir.
All point noted.
Will get it in touch on the decision of the Clients.

Good morning Egun. Am about informing one of my clients about your land but when I read that it is not an area habitable now, I got stopped. Does the statement still hold waters?

Good Afternoon People,

Pleas your advise. I want to construct a brick tank stand such that it looks like a room. it will be 6ft x 6ft. for the columns, can 12mm iron be adequate to take the weight of a 2000 litres tank? the height of the stand is proposed to be a total of 16 courses.

kindly assist.

Although the width is short but for betterment sake, use 16mm.

You can only speak for yourself not for everyone.

samoranononi:


Thanks for your contribution. Should we remove it or start another building plan? He said he’ll correct anything I want him to correct but I should not blame him in future if anything goes wrong.

Pls, remove the wall pointed at and the bevelled wall to give you wider family lounge. Extend master bedroom wall to align with the wc & bedroom wall for more spaces of the mstr bdrm.

Nothing will happen in the future, he is just playing on your intelligence. It is not a structural drawing that can pose structural failure.

debeey87:
.

Any suggestion on how that can be improved upon.

There is no way it can be improved. I just downloaded the image, the design is not good one.

Send your ground floor & your site plan & let me see if i can help you do a better upper floor.

Congrat.
