Hello professionals in the house. Please I need clarification about American panel doors. Do I need to pre install wooden sub-frame before installing the panel door? Cause some are saying that the frames that come with the door is the only thing I need. Thanks

Thank you for this

Olazzeedris:



Well it depends !
Some may require sub while some may not necessary!

But most America panel and flush doors requires it

Hello everyone. Please is it necessary to install sub frame installing America door or flush door? I e can I still install America panel or flush door without sub frame attached to each entrance

I really appreciate your response sir, yes my thoughts is that it shouldn’t be more than 350k since we have recently bought 40 pieces of 1x12 for the lintel and we still have some sharp sand which was bought for the lintel as well. Is there anyway you can help me with breakdown please? This guy is a crook. That’s how he quoted 2.4m for decking and we ended up spending 1.820 for everything.

Honestly if you ask me. I think you should just talk to your engineer that you have a family friend that want to do parapet for you. Then go ahead and engage someone preferably from this platform to do parapet for you. If not, your engineer will frustrate your work if you cut it this low. Obviously he is set out to make money from you. If you reduc his money which will be like 80%,

Hlo house. Just a question for us, I sold a car with my plate number sometimes last year but I didn't do ownership transfer. But a friend later said it is dangerous if they use the car for something illegal. My name might still be on the car

eluquenson:
The person has told you the truth, number plate is only assigned to one person, you can't transfer number plate. You will only get your own

Thanks bro. Sorry if my post is confusing�.
But the good thing is that you have helped resolve what seemed like a nightmare.

Excuzeme:


Your post is confusing a bit!

let me try:
You can push the tank inside and completely roof it inside the building?
What you need to consider and provide for are:
- Create enough space for cleaning the tank, as time goes on.
- Ensure the new Roof lays properly on the old one, to prevent leakages.
- Ensure you use an automatic float switch to prevent water run-off on the roof floor. (and you dont need that special flooring anymore)
It makes a lot of sense.

On the issue of Dish?
consider:
- Dish needs to face OPEN SKY so it can recieve signals properly
- Dish cant be inside the roof.
- You will have to hang the dish outside the New roof, somehwere on the wall or any other place, where it can face the Satelite you are tracking.

Both issues (Tank and Dish) are unrelated, IMO, once you cover the space completely, you have to locate your dish outside the space.

Cheers.

My apologies bro for not sending the pix on time.
I couldn't visit the site since then. I have attached the pix. We went back to the site and take a second look at it again whether to construct a penthouse. While we were considering that then we realized that the slab is very long inside up to the middle of the house and that we can shift the tank inside and then complete the roof. In that case, there won't be open space anymore and the house will be fully roofed. I hope this makes sense? If it does then the only question I need to seek answer to now will be the effect of having tank inside the roof that is not open and will that affect signal if I put dstv dish in the place too. Where there is no enough space after moving the tank inside for maintenance then I can buy 2 small tanks.





quote author=Excuzeme post=82697063]

Yes, snap the picture of that part of your house, where the Tank is currently seating, there are good people here who can help you sketch something that will beautify the place.
I did one of mine, myself, after seeing what was done elsewhere, it was not part of the original Arch drawing l got in the early stages.

Dont thank me o, l benefitted from here and l am determined to help others benefit, wherever and whenever l can offer FREE help.
One day, you will also remember to help others.

See, there are tons of knowledge hidden in the earlier pages of these thread.
Almost all questions anyone may have regarding to building has been answered but it requires patience to read through (some smart people have bookmarked all the important pages for themselves ) because there are also fights, arguments, insults and stuffs like that in-between, when disagreements occur.
You just have to filter it.
More power to your elbow.[/quote]

Excuzeme:


Like l said, we all learn from each other and we all hope to help each other to achieve good results, at the minimum cost.
Now, the problem is clearer, from your post.
L et me say that there is not one problem on this earth, that cannot be solved, with proper knowledge, materials and human effort.

In this problem (you wont be the first or the last person to experience this, so take it from me that others have solved this same challenge, on this thread), the solution can come from either of two ways:

1.) Prevent rain from entring that tank platform, through a small, additional and independent cover in form of a small roof coverage
2.) Make the floor of the Tank platform inpervious to water and waterproof ,using selected materials.
The Key objective here is to ensure that any water that hits your floor, does not sink into the floor but get directed into a pipe that channels it away to the floor.

Both of this options will cost a fraction fo what an outside scafold will cost and eliminates problems associated with scafold, like possible collapse of the scafold due to rust or windshear or rapid degradation of the tank itself, due to weather elements.

First, let me say that TILES though inpervious and eaterproof themselves, the fact that you have to join them together, makes room for leakage.
The materials also used to join them together (wateproof Cement or white cement) does not bond completely with the Tiles and as such, there will almost always be leakages. (think of that room next to a TILED bathroom, that experiences wet wall, on the side of wall adjacent to the bathroom ).
Even where you use say SILICONE to seal the joints, over time, the Silicone may weaken but since most bathrooms dont leak, it is as a result of the san/Cement mix under the Tiles, that prevent most leakage. So we need to pay more attention to what is under the Tiles, than what we put on top of the Tiles.

Option One would have been my choice if l knew how your roof looks like.
I have seen it done before but l dont have the pictures because l did not take the picture back then.

The way l did one of mine, people dont even know it is a Tank that was hidden there, most people think it is a "Penthouse/room" for some hideous activity that bigboys like to engage in. Most of the outward-facing side was covered in coloured glass block and when l put on the LED light inside the palce at night, it sure adss beauty to the building, especially when yo uare seeing it from afar at night when PHCN the Discos have taken light and it stands out in the darkness. Mine was planned from the onset though and the roofing was part of the house.
if l were to be on ground, l would have love to come around and assist you in achieving your aim, free of cost but lam am engaged rigth now, for the next 12weeks or so


But the idea is SIMPLE and the SAME with what l saw (open roof) before doing mine and what you need to do to yours .
The person nailed hard woods to the walls of the tank house, to form the stilts of a small roof that will cover the tank, such that rain falls on the small roof and the roof channels the water away, through a collection-pipe (roof gutter). Any intelligent roofer or carpenter can do this.
It should be compact enough not to leave much space between the main roof and the tank-house walls.
Your Tiled floor should be well-sloped towards the side where outlet pipe takes any leftover water away, to prevent stagnation that usually preceed water trying to percolate into the floor. (you can use one or two 1" x 12" wood cut to side, to balance the tank that would eventually be placed to such sloped floor, if need be but there is usually no need for this.)
Small mist of water (tiny droplets that may be driven-inside by heavy winds, will be too negligible to wet your floor since they will be small and will be quickly channeled-away on the Tiles, to an exit pipe.).
The problem you are having is likely because the Flooring of the Tank house was not properly sealed, before applying the Tiles on top.
If you can remove the Tiles completely (cost and ease of doing s are factors to consider), and then do a proper flooring, you might not even need a roof at all.

Option Two
This is what most people would normally do and they plan for it from the onset.
You properly floor the decking-floor of your Tank house, with a rich mix of High Cement and small, clean sand (it is important to use a clean, organic materia-free sharop sand (free from tiny woods or things that may decay in leave holes in their place) and let the layer be thick enough to withstand the weight of the tanks, to avoid cracking.
On top of this floor, you will put a thick layer (thick like Pap or thick paint) of Bitumen paint (the black stuff used on roads, they sell it at places like Ojota or anywhere they sell paint and chemicals. our in-house expert on paint, @Gbadexy is always very helpful in that direction, contact him), to form a second, waterpoof layer.
And at the same time, you use use FELT, another waterproof material that bonds easily with the Bitumen paint, forms a solid layer when completely cold and dry and makes it waterproof.
With this, the placed is sealed with assurance, for the next fifty years (You will need to replace the FELT after about that time, due to the effect of weathering on it, over the decades.)
The decision to put a Tiles on this Felt (for aesthetics beauty only), is your choice but whether you put tiles on it or not, l assure you it will not leak]. Just put your tank on it
The layer of FELT will just run-off your water to the Pipe, for outward discharge. Make sure it slopes to one side where the pipe is positioned and use 3" pipe to allow for easy evacuation any water, in heavy rainfall.

Many Bungalow houses that are decked, waiting to be raised to storey building, usually use this option two, for years on end, pending when they want to raise the upper floor and they dont experience a leakage, if properly done, so your small tank area is moi-moi compared to those.

I feel you are "afraid" somehow but dont be afraid, if you still need help, just ask. There are good people here who are ready to lend you their experience and expertise (ofcourse, we have had one or two people here also, who are out to milk unsuspecting home owners like you ....and they are still around, especially now when moderation of the thread is virtually dead!)

Look for where to but the Materials you need (The FELT and the BITUMEN, which serves as the gum or adhesive between the floor and the Felt).
@Gbadexy and other builders/Owners in the house with experience, bixton, diordaves, Rotech, Abdulwastecx, KolaShangOne, gabbytabby, Skimanski, Segcymoor, etc)


If we can do Septic tank inside a water-logged, swampy ground...... and it does not leak water inside, an overhead tank leakage cannot be a major headache

Honestly, you have really tried for me. It shows the kind of person you are. Someone like you will always get help even from where you are not expecting it. I think I will consider the 2 options you have suggested. I guess I should ask architect to sketch out how the penthouse_like roof will be so that it does not disfigured the house. Also if the cost is negligible, I will put it on 3D just to be sure of how it would be on the house. Then I will still go ahead to do bitumen and felt as suggested. I kuku have an engineer introduced to me by my cousin but it was later I realized that the man is ill experienced engineer. I guess he is only used to bungalow�. Once am convinced that it won't disfigure the house then I will go ahead. I will go to site today and snap the picture of how it is currently and send it here. Thanks for your advice and I really appreciate it.

Come back here my friend! Please dont waste your money and time doing scaffolding.
It is not necessary, you have done a slab already, tackle the minor problem you have.

Use 1/10th of the money you want to use on a new scaffold, to improve your current slab.

If l understand you correctly, your "IN-ROOF" Tank is leaking water to your walls?
That is a small problem.

I like people to ANALYZE the PROBLEM and think through it, to set out a LOGICAL SOLUTION.

Possible Problems:
Weight: Your "in-roof" Slab, with its associated Pillars, can carry your tanks, so you dont have a problem there
LEAKAGE:
1.) Your Tanks is obviously overflowing, when it is full - (Solution): Buy a FLoat Switch (#3,500 max), call an electrician to install it for you. it will ensure that your tank does not overflow to pour water on your slab, by cutting-off th water supply, when it is filled to abut 90% of the tank, enough to have water but not enough to start wetting your Slab. (My own in-roof tank also doubles as my Store, with a staircase to walk into it and water has never dropped unot the floor, NEVER!). I used the "automatic Float switch". Cheap and useful.

2.) Let us assume, by some accident of badluck (Storm removed your roof completely or Pipe burst or some other unlikely event that allows water to pour on the slab of your "in-roof" tank house.
Obejctive: We want the water to just flow-out and not sink into the Slab or flow uncontrollably to wet walls.
Solution: Use Felt and/or Bitumen to first do a layer of flooring on your Slab. This is cheap enough and forms a water barrier between the Slab and what is ontop of it.
Then install Tiles (use thick tiles) on top of the flooring mentioned above, let it slope slightly towards one corner of the Tank house and then put a Pipe that sticks out for about 9" from the wall, to channel any water that manages to find its way to the floor, to flow out.
Better still, as l did in my own case, just entend the Pipe downwards (like l did my rain water from the roof) to a gutter that can be open or buried.

I dont feel happy when people waste money on minor things they can do with their brain, just by making a little effort.
Dont be worried or afraid, it will work, it is a tried and tetsed method.
Once your automatic floating switch is working, water will never touch your floor, talkless of it leaking to wet your walls. And that switch, with wiring and workmanship, will not cost you up to #15,000! Now compare that to the cost of a Scaffold, not to mention the floor space you will be wasting and the aesthetic beauty of your house you will be dstroying!

Thanks to other people like diordaves, Rubbish, bixton, Chekitaut, etc. who have made suggestions along this line. I just summaried all their opinions.

God will bless you for showing love. Nobody want to waste his or her money of course. Not even at this time of change. That being said, my major concern is that the water is caused by heavy rain because the slab is not roofed. So when it rains, water will find its way into the house through different point. If I can be assured that this problem can be solved without unnecessarily do a scaffolding then I will be happy. Meanwhile we had tiles the house but we didn't felt and we didn't use anything at all. We just went ahead to tile it after decking

bixton:


Before you go ahead to install a scaffolding base, kindly respond...

The slab/deck you placed your tank is it roofed or open?
The water leaking onto the deck, is it as a result of over flow from the tank or from rainfall?

Thanks bro. The deck is not roofed and the leaking is due to downpour. It is not caused by overflow. Thanks once again

Timothyoj:


Morning bro, this is my area of expertise and also a professional tiler. Please, if you have the money just go ahead and construct a scaffold for the water tank. No matter what you do water will always find its way just a matter of time.
I have in so many occasions tried using water proof cement for screening with lots of heights then tile. Bro, water still dey leak after some years.
God will provide for you just go and construct a scaffold and be at rest for life

May God bless you for the whole truth. Thank you all for your advice. I will begin to gather money for the scaffolding. Thanks

Chekitaut:
Use waterproof cement to floor with tiles slope to floor drains, use flout switch. scaffolding is the best but also has its danger if not well done.

Thank you everybody. I think I will just go ahead and do scaffolding to avoid story that touches the heart.

Professionals in the house. Please I need your advice urgently. I have just plastered a duplex and I did a decking or slab for my water tank on top of the roof. I just realized during the heavy rain that the slab or decking where we have water tank on it is leaking. I see water finding their way from the water slab to the wall inside. Although my plumber has assured that he will fix everything but I am considering doing a scaffolding and put my tank on it. So I want to know if it is possible to fix the slab as claimed by plumber I should just go ahead and do the scaffolding. I was told that slab will always leak even if it is not now, it will leak later
