PropertiesRe: Bio Digester (modern Sockaway) by double3(m):
All I see is a hole dug beneath the soil, how u do trap the biogas for use,how do u get rid of the digestate product of breakdown?.
Down to the chemistry, would there be enough food waste from kitchen sink that can be broken down into gas(can't remember when last I flushed food waste down my kitchen sink, it's mostly soapy water from washing of plates)
Which then leads to the final question what are the effects of detergents and other chemicals flushed into the kitchen sink on the bacteria needed for breakdown.

Using the concrete poker to ensure that all concrete is vibrated into the beams, this helps to eliminate air pockets.
From observations u cast the beams before the slab,any advantageous reason or is that the standard.?

I have a tokunbo Toyota camry 03 that I just started using. Everything is going on smoothly with it. Over the weekend I notice the picture below on the dashboard after washing the car.

What could this mean and what can I do to make it dissappear. Thanks
Its a malfunction indicator warning light, meaning ur car has detected some faults that requires attention. You would need to scan post codes and help would come ur way...in another news I don't buy the idea of washing engine, a simple clean with soap, water and rag would suffice.

Hehehehe.

You weren't ready for the road trip but opened a thread about it.

Whichever means you choose to travel, do have a safe trip.
A 12 hrs trip with spare fuel pump,spark plugs and 2 etrxa tire speaks volume of the car.
OP if u ain't certain about the condition of ur car u might wanto start by embarking on shorter trips say 2-3hrs observe the performance and know what u might need to fix before embarking on longer distance.

Been following ur post for quite a while and I must commend the Good job, more feathers to ur cap... please can u point me in the right direction the process involved in getting a building plan registered with relevant authorities. The site in question is in enugu (close to lomainda estate), I've been to ECDA(capital development) office at the new state secretariat but they seem lackadaisical toward guiding me tru the process.(typical behaviour of civil servants).
I would appreciate if I could get a reliable contact or a tip or two from u.
I would kick start the project next year Jan and wouldn't want obstruction from these guys.

goodday nairalanders.
am a young boy looking for a place to stay around Lagos.
I want to leave my comfort zone,and go tried something out there.
I know it'll be hard for a stranger to accept or allowed me to stay with you.
but am a promising that a trial will convinced you.
kindly help me out with squatting with you.
I will really appreciate if there is anybody that will accept me .
Thanks!.
This is 2020...consider feeding and daily transportation costs so u don't get frustrated into crime n social vices; I'm of th opinion u can make it anywhere all u need is determination. If u need to expand then u can move to lagos,migrating now without a place to stay would be hell

Honda civic 03 to 05 is better than Honda civic 06 to 09.
If I get u
There were some factors u listed for consideration,I guess assumptions were based on all those factors.
With that in mind, then u can say the 03-05 model is better.

Please someone should give me an idea on how much I can get a first grade naija used Toyota muscle 2008/2008 model

Thank you
To be honest the price depends on th state of th vehicle and seller's desperation. With that said, all things being equal first grade goes for 1.65-1.7 million.

adanny01:
So, once again, I have made series of trials yesterday and have arrived at a conclusion.

First, I sanded the last paint with soft sandpaper. I was able to experience the difference between wet and dry sanding. I must confess, as small as the part was, sanding took some time and effort to even out. So, I can only imagine how stressful it would be to sand an entire car.

Secondly, I bought the paint in same quantity but with more thinner. I proceeded to paint the base coat.

The result of this stage was a cause for concern. I wasn't satisfied with the base coat again like last time. I added more thinner, did another coat and the result became poorer.

I proceeded to buy more thinner, washed the new coats of paint. The thinner even washed other previous coats and left an uneven surface. I did another round of sanding, bought and sprayed another coat of base coat. This time, it was presentable but not of the quality I was looking towards.

At the end, I sprayed the clear coat which came out very good.

In conclusion of the trial session, the problem experienced is spraying the base coat. The clear coat comes out neat and smooth devoid of orange peel. The base coat is not smooth at all no matter the amount of thinner applied.

The final resolution arrived at is that, I have no issue with clear coat but have serious issues with base coat. The clear coat being thicker. The main reason for such a result though is the nozzle size. I did mention before the trial that recommended nozzle size is 1.3-1.5mm. My spray gun has only one nozzle of 2.5mm which is quite large to give a good result especially with the base coat. Until I am able to find an appropriate sized nozzle, am afraid I won't get a good result.
Been following this thread for quite some time and I'm loving ur DIY Spirit cos we share similar traits but for real I don't think painting an entire vehicle is an easy DIY task,if it were just the bumper or fender I'll give my full support but doing a full body spray job; I'll advice u leave it to the experts.

Hi all

After washing my Toyota Matrix engine , the check engine light came on
Though car drives perfectly. It’s just the stable check engine light . Please who knows what I can do
First step is to scan ur ECU for error code. Why do people still wash there engine BTW.... huh huh
Cleaning with rag and solvent it the way to go, resist the urge to steam wash ur engine.
