Thank you my brother, with all this vast knowledge that many of these professionals give us online for free of charge. Although there are alot of good professionals out here that help to provide information for free, which we are very appreciative of their kind gestures. This is an advertisement for their line of services and that's how we compare their competencies. On the other hand, there are others that are here to rip people off of their hard earned money. Most of these bad ones targeted disaporates that have not returned home for some time. The good ones in my opinion compare their professional service fee to the ones that render services aboard. Many of them forget in this part of the world, the system is completely different, from paying taxes and levies through their professional licenses. Many of these professionals are held accountable for any mistake that may consume them and their professional licenses, or even often end up sitting in jail for years. I am not saying that any professional should be working for free, I don't mind as humans for professionals to charge extra 2-3% for their services. In most cases, some of these professionals after over quoting materials and still charge extra 25-35% above average and subcontract most of the job to those artisan, this is where I have a serious problem with them. Especially with my engineering background. Many of them may not know what we do for living aboard. They forget before many of us approach to enagage them, we have done our intensive research to challenge whatever numbers they submit for the jobs.

What's your point?

arcnomec:
From what I can deduced,there is a water body close by.It is a sand filled land.Only one particular self con is having this challenge amongst the units of blocks in the compound.

DMerciful:
Saw it on another thread and I was extremely disappointed with people preaching southern unity rejoicing that the president declined accent, very shocking!
This is a good bill that will benefit the Niger Delta region but as usual the intention is always to undermine the goose that lays the golden eggs!

Unfortunately this coming NASS will be worse than a rubber stamp, another 4 yrs of declining loading. Sha make him sign the electoral act before he will claim it's too close to 2023 elections!

Look at the quoted comment for instance! Bubu's main reason for declining accent is because of reduction of powers of petroleum ministry and this shows a president should not be the petroleum minister.

arcnomec:
Good evening fellows,please I need some advise from you guys.A client contacted me that one of self Con built for her by an engineer is flooding inside the room.That water use to come out from the floor and it will raise to a level and then affect a two bedroom unit close to it.
She asked if I can remedy the situation.I intend cutting the wall from about 450mm above(finished floor level).Then break the floor and dig down to about 600mm,fill with sharp sand and blocks, and recast(cement & 3/ with a damp proof membrane.

Please if there is another way I can achieve a desired result, kindly help me out with such.
Thanks

Evaowokotomo:
Nice point but I don't know if this can still be done, we are on the structural drawing now. I will talk to the architect today because this is a nice and beautiful point. Thank you so much for the suggsetion

tbright007:
JUST AN OPINION

first floor - cross ventilation can be provided for the 2 rooms at the rear end , so why not make provision for it .

first floor - the walk in closet would be very dark if not totally unusable when there is no light, so why not remove the door that leads to it from the toilet and make it a whole wall then make the walk in closet a U - shape facing the windows, this can be achieved by removing the walk in closet walls after entering through the door of the room and leaving only the enclosure walls of the toilet and bath

theoldpretender:
DISCOS cannot make any improvements because they aren't earning enough cash.

OK...let me have someone explain it...



You see the problem.?

P.S...I have no link, nor do I work for any DISCO. I even had cause to have a dispute with them over metering of my former residence. I am a bill payer. I also read a lot.

theoldpretender:
At the same time Nigeria is shortchanging the power industry.

1.DISCOS are being forced by law to charge for power below the cost of production. That is why DISCOS cannot accept all the power GENCOS send...they can't afford it.

2.DISCOS are owed N1trillion by government agencies, and also are owed same amount by consumers. And as a recent BBC programme put it, about 1/3rd of consumers pay for power.

3.Fixing power requires billions of dollars...and since Nigerians and their government are not paying up...how do we fix power?

tempex88:
Engineers in the house, please I need clarification on the picture below, I have about four columns with this kind of adjustments and my engineer told me it's to correct an error and there is nothing to worry about.

Should I be worried and is this right?

Dominionng:
Running 2x2 woods on roof beam is the trend now by most carpenters. It might save you a token but it's not safe for POP works. Follow your POP man's advice. Do a proper noggin for your POP ceiling irrespective if you are using PRECAST or PLASTERBOARD. Safety before budget please.

Charmingrascal:
The fact is APC can't win Akwa Ibom for now maybe 2023.

And I keep saying it Akpabio is a betrayal, he betrayed GEJ by dumping PDP so soon
Akpabio that was so loyal to mama Peace and also a friend of GEJ. They say no permanent friend in politics but permanent interest but still some interests don't worth betraying a friend.

KEVIND:
South South don't need any fuckin' Senate presidency. This divide and conquer tactics the so-called SWCF and her caliphate masters will not work this time. So after the coming together of the South West and the North to kick our own Jonathan out, what they're now planning is to give us the Senate presidency so as to keep the oil flowing unhindered and to spite our cousins from the S'East who supported us wholeheartedly through out our travail. The earlier this Country is restructured the better. Sometime I blame our political leaders who are blindfolded with personal greed and the lack of foresight. Look, you and your Fulani masters cannot deceive us no more. What we want is the 100% control of our Oil and resources and not any fuckin' bribe.

amaniro:
Ooh please cut that oil producing bullshit. So you want them to be building Flyovers where is not needed? or being doing elephant project just because Kano is doing it? Kano has a potential of Lagos but less lucky. Kano is the 4th richest and enjoys federal presence.
