Hi all. I stumbled on this thread 3 days ago and I have been able to read up all the pages staying up late in the night. I must say its a blessing coming across this thread. Thanks to the creator of the thread ladywriter and all other gurus in the house you have been a blessing to me and many others.

I opened my freelancer account the first day after reading a few pages of tge thread. my profile is yet to be completed cos I paused to read up the thread so as not to make any mistake.

Now I am ready to start so I will go and complete my profile and start bidding for projects.

I hope to update you all with positive testimonies soon.

Yiyee!!! I have just been awarded a project on FL. 8 milestones were set and I'm chatting with the guy. Do I go ahead and request for the milestone.

I read the whole pages of this thread but still dont understand the concept of milestone. A client just set up 4 milestones for me. Do I request a release right now or after the project

Embedded/conduit piping has better appeal or esthetics compared to surface piping but its not the best.
Sewage pipes are made of pvc, and pvc doesn't last forever (not even whitchtech IPS fusion system that promises 50yrs warranty) and so there's need for maintenance in the long run.
Whenever the there's leakage or maintenance issues, you must crack the wall before you can assess the sewage pipe.
This means whenever there's need for maintenance you'll probably the the services of a plumber, a mason, & sometimes a tiler to fix a single problem.

Another problem with this system of piping is during the casting of columns/beams and decking, if the pipes are not properly sealed it might get filled with concrete and no one will notice it,
You get to know about the blockage during final installation and by then its already late so you end up doing surface piping for that particular line.

The question now is what's the best way to fo about this.

The solution is,
During the architectural/structural design, provisions should be made for duct.
The ducts are created with blocks & sewage pipes/supply line run in them.
The ducts have covers (aluminium sun breaker as it's locally called) to cover them up when all the plumbing job has been completed.
Whenever the need for maintenance arises, you open them up, do your servicing and close them back.
The duct covers also adds to the esthetics of the building.
