...I have handled four houses as an engineer...your question is a simple one...evrything you do in your house depends on the structure of the house...some buildings does not have good solid foundation...while some have.so the best thing to is..if there is a drainage close to your house you channel your bathroom and kitchen waste water to it! But if you don't have a drainage this are the things you consider during the foundation of the building, cause what ever you didn't place in the right order during foundation will fetch you back during completion,if there is no drainage, you should dig the soakpit 12fit deep 10inches wide..reason is because you want to channel your bathroom and kitchen wastewater..the depth and wideness of the soak pit will have along way to go in saving you more money in the future than you expected!!So check your building plan and structure of your house and the environment before you make the decision of channeling your bathroom and kitchen water to the soakpit...your friend idea is a good one but it has to do with the foundation of your house!!soakpit is not what you play with when building a house..thanks

Are the drains in the UK covered, centralised and treated?
Are many people EMPLOYED to work on those drains so that they are permanently clear and clean?
Do you know if that is the case in our own country?

goonsmi:
Channeling your waste water to the public gutter is a very very bad idea and its even a punishable offence in places like Lagos .

Even if these gutter is covered fru out?
All of our waters go into the drain same as what we have as gutters. Home waste is no hazardous to the environment. But industrial waste is.if all you are going to discharge is bio digraph be why worry? I'm not talking bout poo here

How can you think of disturbing the public with your waste water ? some of this waste water's odour ( especially kitchen water ) can be very offensive and its a crime against the public. Please desist from such a practice.

Yeah, overhyped.

Lol.. I keep saying it that our governors are lazy. All they do is to sit in government house waiting for allocations every month end.. If not if only they can think deeply, people like you are supposed to be fined heavily for abusing the gutters and the environment in general. You don't see people channeling their waste to gutters in developed world because it is just wrong. If you can have money to build a house then at least you should have 8-10 thousand naira to service your waste once in every 5 years.

SmithHumble50:

Jorussia:
the fund for this project is in the budget of this year.

Jorussia:
this project has been in the pipeline since the administration of obj.GEJ was unable to put the counter fund of Nigeria into the budget. This is the only administration that has provided funds for its execution in the budget.

blarkraimez:
Mr right, did you check the part where they said" it will cover all the seaport enroute? What of the fact that those people that will construct it are expartrate and dia charges will be different? What of the raw materials,can ds nation boast of all the rawmaterial to finance ds project.....add up the import rates, expatrate and Nigeria factor. And tell me ao on earth it will be the same thing with dos ones you showed earlier. A

Hello bosses

How do one install lightning arrestor on a church/mosque that has cross/crescent high up in the towers. You know the sentiment attached to those stuffs.

Im sorry my guy. The speedometer reads very fine. I ve cleared the code. Im using the car till i get up to 100km before i will rescan d car.

diordaves:
erico2k2 it may not be a good idea to stick a carbon monoxide detector behind the fridge. The manufacturer instruction is to stick on the ceiling.

In the western world, the fridge is normally on face value not a source of carbon monoxide but CFC gas. The heating system/boiler is the usual culprit. In Nigeria it's generators placed outside home windows with fumes filtering inside. How often have we seen on the news where a family is wiped out in their sleep because they left the Gen running overnight just behind the bedroom window.

So the optimal place to stick a carbon monoxide alarm in Nigeria is at the point inside closest to the Gen-Set outside.

Eboski:
Good news to the federal govt
at list he can now focus on governance without distraction from anyone.

topsy23:
@Egunmogaji & Erico2k2Stand alone battery operated photoelectric smoke detectors and heat detector is nice. It can programmed in such a way that the u will get notification on your gsm phone is there is fire outbreak and cheaper than the addressable type or conventional type in the market

EgunMogaji:
Connectivity to a network is important though.

EgunMogaji:
@Erico2K2 here's a cheaper wireless combo fire/co2 alarm.

I may still go with Nest but will look closely at this one since its 50% cheaper.

Etoo:
Im sorry for the typo error, the no 9 says P0115. What could that be. Can it also contribute on the black smoke thing.

kingreign:
what you should consider before picking the Range Rover.

1. 145 (an average of 11-14mpg)
2. 1million (engine price)
3. 1million (gear box)
4. 450k-600k air suspensions (prone to failure)
5. 1,000 for octane booster at each refueling (to prevent 'reduced engine performance')


op the choice clearly is yours.

0rex:
Even if the thermostat is closed, the fan will keep blowing cool air to the engine though it's effect might be almost negligible but it will slightly increase the time the car will run rich.

The more important is the load the fans create on the electrical system. More load = more power requirement = higher fuel consumption.
Some of these fans draw as high as 8A each. If the two run continously, that's about 16A. That is significant load.

mavverick:
you mean internal or external ?
They do sand down walls in western countries as well, especially before painting.

glogirl:
please where is brabus?
is he banned?
I miss him.

mavverick:
Dont quote me on this.
What I sometimes see with artisans is that the lining of the windows may not be straight.
In some refurb/rebuilds that I have done (not in nija), what we do on walls is use angle beading. This gives that corner strength and ensures a neater job, a very good chance of ensuring the corners are straight as well.

In nija, although they use cement I find that depending on the skill of the bricklayer, they do not always get it straight. When you have window hoods, it will mask the problem from the outside, but not on the inside if its badly done.

Mind, there are 2 types of angle beading, one is used for drywall skimming and there is an external one used for cement plastering.

@erico2k2 the one when you dey hear now Na Buhari English ?

NL1960:
Are these block walls or partitioned walls?.
