somehow:
The house should spot the difference.

Conduit piping

And

The normal MEP.

The former is what I have issues with which was handled solely by Bosun and as part of the total carcass package.

The normal MEP is the one I gave to Twinskenny which in the process discovered that the pipes used during conduit piping were mostly inferior and blocked/wasted as seen in the link posted by @itsrm.

Do not let him confuse you.
With regard to pipes been blocked......I guess it's the decking pipes
(1)Who was on site doing supervision of the casting of the decking slab.........
(2) What the man who did the piping also available when the decking was receiving cement.......

Those people do come with their molding tools and charge per bag.


They could spend weeks to mold just 100bags


Except the building project is an emergency, or the client insist otherwise or no space in the purported site/land for minimum setbacks I will always prefer hand mould blocks on site.

As regards the bold from what is obtainable with those who mould for me, the minimum a moulder moulds is 10 bags per day. So in moulding just 100 bags it will 2 moulders 5 days. Spyder880 have spoken concerning the type of sand to use to getting good blocks. Every location has good sand for making such and in some areas you'll have to mix 2 types of sand in the right proportion to get good blocks that will compete favourably with those so called vibrated blocks.

If you're moulding during the raining season ensure you have DPM so that it can be used to cover/shed the blocks from direct hit of rainfall. It's the duty of the moulders to cover it as long as you make the provision at least that's how it's been done by me with those I've been working with and in other areas I know.

Another factor that gives strength to the block is in how you go about doing the watering/sprinkling of the blocks as they set. Not many people pay much attention to this in it's initial stages under the right atmospheric conditions.

Not many people understands cutting costs in the built environment while still maintaining efficiency.

No offense intended but I really don't see accomplishing the bolded as a difficult task when the build is even on the same site. It's all about planning, management and workforce as long as the required funds are within reach.

This is wrong

My dad used black, used engine oil on one of his build up north.
It been over 17 years now
As a matter of fact last two years
I went up there to the roof
Abi na inside the roof.
I was walking on those woods
Trying to hide from kidnappers
Lol.

I did same thing to my school build.
That's basically what everyone does in North.
They use engine oil only.
Nobody uses chemical.
Atleast around builds that I have seen
I am praying and hoping this thread comes back to normal.
We don dey use a mix of solignum, kerosene and condemned motor oil since 1759. If you're not in so much of a hurry apply it while the wood is on the ground and after 2-3 days you can start to use for your roofing work.

Just 2 days ago, I got a call from LafargeHolcim (one of the largest producer of cement in Africa). They wanted a storey building completely designed and built with Lightgauge steel.

My last 2 projects had Fibre cement Cladding that reduced the need for cement.

Just yesterday, I found and decided to experiment polystyrene ceilings. The prices are very interesting and friends. It’s lightweight and also very easy to use.

I was able to pull an over 300sqm suspended ceiling within 72 hours because I wasn’t doing the conventional pop installation.

I’ve shared picture of a gate column built by the Chinese in 2014. It has no single concrete and they were all tiled with 60 x 120 tiles.
The structure is still standing today without any sign of visible defect.

The world is constantly evolving. We need to move with time.

Pic 1-4 | Polystyrene Ceiling
Please do you have any idea what's the current price for suspended ceiling and what likely designs are out there for use in a church building. Also what's the installation price per square meter.........
Thanks.

It's so painful boss.

Agreed there is no mod here, some people here have become alpha and omega on this small thread.
I remembered michilins

People tried to discredit his works without even using it

Next issue with somehow was something that would have been solved.
Someone was already calling next for 80 minutes or so
At that moment the priority should have been how to get somehow money out of next hand. Then thereafter they can go after him.

But at this stage

Next will not pay a dime

Except if somehow can get it through a court of law or through another means.
Which is very very unlikely.
Next is not someone that can easily be bullied.

They just ruined the chances. Of somehow getting his money.

Btw
Next is the criminal here and doesn't deserve to work on anybodies build. I am most supporting him, just trying to get tons reasonable conclusion.. somehow was someone willing to shift goal post
I don't believe somehow can't get his refund back as agreed by both men. The contract agreement is there for starters. At least n3xt on this platform has been a solution provider on such issues so I don't see why he would go back on what he aids others to accomplish rather than making it prolong unnecessarily.

You are equally a bully and that is very very bad.
First of all y'all shutting people from having a different opinion, secondly you are bullying them into doing your biddings and polluting this space,
Lastly you are all hypocrites, I noticed when few elders like egun and abdulwatest made post here, none of you bullies including dunka and vanbonattel spam their post
But you did it to every other person here.
You are nothing but bullies.and you are right next to fraudsters like next who shouldn't be here.


Next issue is purely simple.
Mod should ban him from coming back here and disclaimer should be posted that people should not work for him

Somehow should put more pressure on his offline move to bring him to book.
All this online talks won't bring anything since the fraudster has been known to default on making refunds over and over.
So somehow should get intalk with his lawyer or go the traditional way..


Lastly
Y'all bullies read when someone complained of another thief(segzy), nobody said a word.
Is that not double standards
They have been operating double standards since they created the thread and that was why a moderator was removed and those remaining kept a blind eye to activities here because it turned out to be some form of cartel............michlins was nearly lynched by them till God used Oga Spyder to rescue him and some people tried to used back hand practice to lynch him again and I hope he has learnt certain lessons on here.........
