Nope. It's a visitors toilet. Do they need to look outside? I was going to use an overhead bathroom fan for ventilation.

No they do not need to look outside but I have come to realize that natural lightening plays a big role in our Build.and natural ventilation is better than the Fan suction you are planning to introduce.you will need to run a pipe fru ur house as well

msogunro:
The tank is actually below the sink. If you take a close look at the sink, you will notice it is shallow. The tank for the toilet is in the same position as all the toilet tanks I've seen in Niaja.

I think it will work. I'm considering it, because the layout that we have come up with has a visitors toilet on the ground level but it's not have a window and it seems bathrooms with a window is part of the building code. At least that is what I was told. If it is code, I'll have to carve out some space by the entrance for that beauty.

No window? damn, U got to give it a window some how, mine is same, it was hard to sort but at the end, I arrived at a good plan, I decided not to make the visitors room en-suit,I carved out a bathroom at the back of teh kitchen and a hall way running direct to the room, that also doubled as visitors toilet.

Some food for thoughts.

The first gen modern Mini engines are built by Chrysler for BMW and the 2nd gen engines are built by Renault.

One entity doesn't have to do it all.

Im actually thinking allong the line of casting, what material to use in preparing a mould

EgunMogaji:
Not necessarily saying that this is it but these are the pictures that I look at for ideas.

Remember that we're trying to build affordable cars for Nigerians. There will always be Camrys, Accords, etc available in the market.

Pimmp tortoise car

MPVGoddess:
Buy another engine but keep the old. Faster turnaround time

cause some of the engine is still good

second option, rebuild with a BMW certified tech, which will take time and more money given current exchange rate to bring in OEM parts or to purchase from the franchised dealership locally

Bross BMW certified Tech for 9ja

msogunro:
For those of you with tight spaces but need a visitors toilet (half bath), something to think about...

Toilet & Sink Combo

this is nice, but do you recon it would work in the Nigerian setting cos i think the the water tank might be low if U ask me,but in that pic the tank might be behind the cabinet wall

tdayof:
Nice reply tho. However, This same BMW makes use of technologies developed by students. We will have an informed argument soon, I love educative arguments. It's nice having a conversation with you Sir. Thank You.

Nahhh wrong, not students, but Profs, in 2004 I worked for a company called Altra Electronics, you need to see the people who worked there, they where prof this and Prof that cos of what they do and some of them where lecturers.

These names are the founding Fathers of BMW as known today.

AutoJoshNG:
It was 2009 when I first noticed two cars parked on the same side of the road. It seemed absurd and I thought it was a one-off as the reason for such style of parking was difficult to fathom.

Today, triple parking has become trendy as some drivers display their driving prowess by gluing their cars to another car that is already parked.

It is absolutely disheartening because this is a major cause of avoidable traffic congestion as well as road accidents.

This style of parking is usually found around parties, beer parlours, taxi parks, churches etc.

If an unreasonable double parking is a traffic offence, what do we call the triple parking?

Double Parking is a problem world wide , even a single car can Double park

mandmis007:
I own a BMW 2007 760Li model, the engine knocked last two months when we travelling to jos from lagos.
The engine was opened and discovered that the some parts of the block engine was broken. My predicament now is whether to buy another engine or to repair the old one or buy another block and couple the engine. Which will be best? Pls advise.

Buy another one, use the old one as spares.you can buy a used bare engine and transfer all accessories,that will reduce cost.

indigene:
I bought this car new and still in good condition, it came to my attention that the gear oil need to be change, but mechanics asked said there are no reasonable need to replace the gear oil.
Recently, gear 2 do not engage while in motion, all other gears 1 3 4 5 and reverse engages
How can the gear oil be inspected and replaced?
Picture showed the gear box, top view while the bonnet is opened

Can I ask waht you meaqn by you bought this car new? did you mean you bought it brand new in the first instant or you bought it at this stage?
How old is the car? the Age and mileage of the car will give you a good indication of weather teh gear oil needs to change or not

tdayof:
I am not talking about buying a BMW. 65% of students in my school have internship at BMW plants so I know what I am saying.

Between I am done with the conversation.

Oh I just realize I was talking to a student, when you graduate, we can have this conversation cos my BSc mechanical Engineering days ended 1999 and my MSc days ended 2004 in the UK.mayB wen U finish schooling we can have an informed argument.

tdayof:
Testing ground is different from a plant. You can ask him about BMW Shenyang. I can confirm that.
You just stated the fact @ the bolded. I mentioned earlier that my professor is on research project on it which obviously means they do produce but are not used in their cars yet. Having the capability is what I am emphasizing on. Boeing has the capability to manufacture Aircraft engines but do not by leaving it to the specialist.

I keep telling you dame question you keep arguing .No one is allowed into thier plant if you do not work there
That testing ground is where ur car goes to if the dealership fails to deal with your problem .
.you keep repeating yourself. BMW DO not manufacture brake pads search thier website you won't see brake pads made by them but you will see this from other manufacturers who are specialist in these fields .
You said something about not using the ones they ha e yet . Ha e you any idea when the first BMW was made ?
How many BMW have you bought brand new ?
In the while BMW as you see it there are two exclusive parts manufactured by BMW the chassis /body and the Engine/transmission .

tdayof:
how do I show you a picture? Everything isn't about searching online. BMW plant in Shenyang do and if you don't accept it's okay.
To add my school produces brake pads. That, I just confirmed.

U are missing the point look as we are speaking I'm in their testing ground . BMW DO not make break pads that's not part of their technology if the start their own won't beat the ones in the market .
I actually just ask that guy in that service car same answer he gave.Nit they can't it's just that. This is not their market .

Shey na bokoharam nai no deh train... Make we continue to they deceive our self with all these 2010 pictures.... Insisted of seeking result from the federal government

bross I dey suspect U ohh ahaha haha

tdayof:
BMW manufactures a brake pad please. Okay let say BMW doesn't are you saying they do not have the capability? Seems Technology Is Above Nigeria. I have seen various universities that do in China sef including mine. Aerospace-mechatronics Dept do.

I have asked you to show me one you keep saying they do .

msogunro:
I've checked every Google product on android, ios, and desktop. All show the entire area as bush, when most of it was cleared earlier this year. I also don't see a toggle to view by year.

You can modify your post.

mayB it's not updated yet like twinks says cos mine been updated I can even see a newly roofed building on it.dont forget the Satalite needs to pass that location for you to get the free version's view . Or U got to subscribe to goggle earth pro.

danowena:
Can the pressure at 3m height be compared to that created by a pressure pump?

Well in lay terms No but by science.free fall via gravity is 10. Pressure pump can be increased or decreased .
In my bathroom there is a little pump inside the power shower . That's why it's a power shower.

This is not new.it has been known 4 ages .just being mined illegally

MadamExcellency:
Which deficit and a phantom five months are you talking about when the 2014 budget ran through till 31st March, 2015? Have you forgotten that 2015 only got expended on May 10th, 2016, this year. Do you know the percentage recurrent expenditure in 2015 budget?

You think you can come to a public forum to repeat the same rubbish you do among your gullible friends and be allowed to get away with it?

Stop fabricating lies to shoot your conscience. Enough of these obfuscation

exactly what I told another guy . Come on line to type craaaap
anyway this FG always swallowing it's vomits.

lumidii:
Msogunro says he's not getting his site on google. You can see yours on google.
Which google are you both referring to? Google maps or Google earth? Google earth desktop or the one for android?

If you are putting in the coordinates of your land - then you are good to go. I find it really accurate on google earth.

Plus google earth has a time slider that you can drag and it shows you images from 2005 to the latest acquisition date. There's a toggle button that allows you view the same spot on google maps - so you can toggle between the two. The latest date i saw for the spot i checked was June 29th, 2016. There's also a new google earth pro - which I've never used.

I had the chance to go on a tour of the Emergency Operations Centre, built three floors underneath the ground, in my neck of the woods - and they had this tool that shows real time live imagery of any address you pop in from different angles. It was as closest as you could get to 4K quality and this was on gigantic screens on the wall. I was wide eyed and asked tons of questions and I only contained myself after the Police tour guide asked me to send him my resume. And they also use a scaled down version of this tool to determine if residents have done any illegal builds or improvements(decks, fence, trees etc) without obtaining permits from the municipality. They had some real techy stuff there.

As an aside, do they have auto-correct on here for some typed words

Oh yeah I 4 got that.Im on about Google earth on desktop .

Ok we just did the lintel iron works. It's rising6

twinskenny:
And pure water

AH that too increase nah. very soon the cost of Mobile phone credit will increase thats when the whole 9ja will feel the change

spyder880:
Very true. It's about to get very real as my humble supplier is not even ready to sell some plumbing items to me today. I had to scream and later beg before he agreed to get me some quantity.

Building cost is about to get higher than we imagined. Everyone should look before they take the plunge of accepting Naira to carry out contracts. The situation is getting frightening.

baba, na wetin we go co me pay now, $$$$

msogunro:
I checked Google first. Unfortunately, they don't seem to update their satellite images often. The area where my land is, is still shown as bush.

check well bro cos I can see my build, and I can see my fence too,if not now check again say 2 weeks, do you have existing structures at that point? do you know what you immediate surrounding look like? cos that will help you know your patch

Oya All of una wey read mech engineering 4 skul, na ur chance 2 shine b ds. Y una no fit come 2geda 4 una association 2 produce vehicle engine 4 9ja? No complaints o! Abi metal no boku 4 9ja? Una don get raw materials b dt. All of una wey get 1st class & 2.1 4 mech engineering, where una dey? Who ur degree dey epp if we still dey import vehicle engine? Wetin b d difference btw una & person wey no come go skul nw? All those profs & Drs of mech engineering wey dey call demselves expert dey use tym wey dem suppose use dey solve ds wahala dey plot hw 2 f**k students up & make dem courses harder. Any education wey no fit solve problems 4 our country na waste IMO.

Its easier said than done, the fact of the matter is, we have to go to basics, all we see is finished good forgetting it took years of research and money to get to this state,we need moulds, special alloys, special clays, and thats not all, we need power loads of it, and mega Buck to waste in Research.There is a topic on here by one of my friend in Cali US. Egunmogaji,I will copy and put a link on here
I am a Mechanical Engineer and proud of it, if you got same passion lets go there

Brake pads are everywhere. Even in Nnewi, there are many companies that manufacture brake pads. I remember many years back when 'Power Mike's'(the wrestler) company was producing fan belts(Power rope fan belt),brake pads etc there in Nnewi and this was even in the 80s/early 90's. They had many variants including the ones that were produced using palm kernel shells. Brake pad production is not rocket science.

I was talking of BMW branded Brake Pads.I have bought a brand new BMW 318 before and it never came with a BMW branded brake Pad hence I asked that guy to show me a branded BMW brake pad.
