bukolo: Please what could be responsible for the dampness in the pix below and what is the solution?
Please note that water doesn't enters thru the window but from the outside wall. And this is a duplex,it happens to the rooms upstairs. I guess hollow blocks were used. The bricklayers like to fill the block holes at the windows with all manner of junks and mortar. It will take a longer time for moisture to dry out from that solid section than the other normal wall areas. You don't have any problem. Make sure it is dry before painting with a water-resistant paint. |

The most affected of the conduit pipes are those for electrical wires. Sorry sir. This is so painful. Knowing your desire for excellence, I'm surprised you didn't do due diligence on the plumber/electrician. Anything embedded in the concrete must be properly supervised. |

We all know that the pipe in the attached picture are inferior.. for decking piping high quality dignity pipe is recommended!!! Now we have to start laying pipes on the floor… something I hate much.

debeey87: Good morning all. I need advise on the top floor of my build. We have completed the ground floor and done decking. The bricklayer is suggesting we use 9" block for the outer walls and 6" inside.
Isn't it possible to use 6" for the entire first floor instead of combining with the 9" on the outer walls.
Thank you Listen to your bricklayer. The 9" outer wall with wider cavities will reduce sound and heat ingress. |

BiigTee: Good evening to all Esteemed engineers on this platform.. I have a quick question.. Does a building having chain lintel require a roof beam again? Yes. The roof beam receives the weight of the roof and transfer it to the substructure. It relieves the block from carrying the load thereby preventing cracking walls. Do it if you have money. If you don't have enough money, do lintels at windows and doors and do the roof beam. |

Born2conquer: That’s how life is, he could spend money to arrest lenny all the way from abuja to lagos
But he couldn’t work with kenny to arrest the borehole guy, he claimed he’s a civil servant who doesn’t have money but he suddenly have money to arrest someone who merely recommended?
Why is micgray handling Twin (not supporting twin) like he’s the culprit here while handling the borehole guy as the saint?? You believed what the BOREHOLE guy said as against what Twins who’s been there has been saying since??
This is a lessson to everybody here, even if you know the way, do not show people the way because when the people you show the way get lost on the journey.. they will come back to blame you.
You’ve always had the intention to deal with twin, initially, i begged you to drop the borehole guy details so i can work on it but you dropped it like “Twinskenny Fraudster Borehole”, na there i lose interest in the whole case.
You wanted 100k refund, twinskenny offered 50k, spyder gave 20k, somehow offered 10k and we all know twins already spent 20k on tracking
What else do you want? The guy is shameless. From first day I never trusted him. Dropping his acct number left and right. He is cashing out with twinskenny name. Shame! |
