Baba lastpage,

My burglar protector bar quest will be taken to my Weekend DIY thread. Already shopping for kits.

I'm doing 3 different models and they'll be tested on the chateau.

This will be a 4 weekend project.

You are very right. The water still touches the ground. The interesting part of everything in life is that there's a right and wrong way to do things. There's a way to use roof gutter to your advantage in a house and there's a way to use it to your disadvantage. One of the hazard includes wetness and soil erosion which may cause a bigger problem for the foundation. This is caused by uncontrolled water runoff from the roof gutter.

Ensure there's a concrete platform at least to receive the direct hit of the water flow from the roof before redirecting into the flood drains with the compound. Otherwise, it'll only be a matter of time before the receiving ground get soggy and wet. Some will introduce a catch basin (sump or chamber) to collect the waters before redirecting into the perimeter drain.

One can also direct to underground water reservoir for specific purposes.

But it's a good solution for building in waterlogged and dry land.

Your point about having high water table is well noted but really all you want to do is to reduce the volume of water in your compound and redirect to a lower level.

That foto is the reason I said it's a waste or not being used for what it's meant 4. Unless you got a storage or mains like this

Jessam:
The main purpose of a rain gutter is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base. The gutter also helps to reduce erosion, protects painted or stained surfaces by reducing exposure to water and provides a means to collect rainwater for later use. Rainwater is a natural element that can wreak havoc on a house if it’s not controlled by properly installed and maintained rain gutters. There are many misconceptions about gutters and as a result there are many mistakes homeowners are making. In some cases these mistakes are causing damage rather than preventing it.

The Benefits of Gutters
The importance of properly installed and maintained gutters can’t be stressed enough. Every house should have gutters. Here’s why rain gutters are so important:

Soil around the house is stabilized - even raft foundations can fail if there is not even sinking, the slab can fracture if one part of the building is sinking faster than the other, mostly the area that are water saturated sink faster i.e area around building with no guttering
Foundation problems can be avoided
Flooding under houses can be prevented
Erosion can be prevented and this preserves landscaping and turf
Water damage to siding can be prevented
Water staining of painted exterior walls and stone masonry can be prevented - thats why you see some buildings with green mould on exterior, thats excess moisture
Settling and cracking of sidewalks, interlock stone pavements and driveways can be lessened
Exterior doors adoors can be preserved

I will like to argue some points you raised bt I'm in the bush looking 4 £££££ wen I get home.we go dig am proper

The EFCC on June 17, 2016 secured the conviction of Mr. Jalekun Omitawoju Yisau and nine other defendants in a case of alleged conspiracy, misappropriation and diversion of funds to the tune of N115 million. Others convicted are Afribiz Viables Ventures, Allied Aque-Forte Ventures, Manifield Mercies Ventures, Agbeloba Agrotech Ventures Ltd, Torosbury International Agency Ltd, Cradle Engineering Services Ltd, Momm Limited, Al-Tora Allied Business, Arieco Trading Ventures. Their sentence followed their change of plea from “guilty” to “guilty’. They were first arraigned on October 30, 2014. The judge convicted and sentenced them to two and half years imprisonment each on counts 1, 3,5,8,10,14 and17.

The sentence would, however, take effect from 30th October, 2014 when the defendants were first arraigned.

They are also to sign a bond with the EFCC, seven days after their release, to be of good conduct and never get involved in financial crimes both within and outside Nigeria. Three others, former Director of Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training (IART), Professor Benjamin Olufemi Ogunbodede, Zaccheaus Tejumola and Adenose Clement who were charged alongside the convicts before Justice N. Ayo Emmanuel of the Federal High Court , Ibadan, Oyo State, maintained their “not guilty” plea.

Meanwhile, Prof Ogunbodede and his cohort would return to court on July 1, 2016 for the continuation of their trial.

Picture from right, Prof Benjamin Ogunbodede, Jameson Omitowoju, Zaccheaus Tejumola and Adenose Clement.

Why would some of U just come here to display ignorance? Have you thought for a 2nd you could upgrade your tyres from 15 inch to 16in
How about if the previous owner did this?

JoeCutie:
Maybe I'm the only Nigerian that hates fences. You see, I don't just get why someone would spend millions in constructing a fine edifice, then support it with a beautiful compound armoured with flowers and grasses and fountains and swimming pools and what have you...only to cover it all with some very Prison-like gigantic fence, thereby shielding it from public view. Does it make sense? No! Let people see, feel and appreciate the beauty of your home. Bock/brick fences, to me, are unnecessary. For security reasons? If you have enough money to build mansion, you should have enough money to sort your security out. But that's my opinion anyway.

Checkout these pictures below. Aren't they just lovely?

In that country security is provided by its fg nation wide

carpenter:
Pardon my ignorance but I think what a woman makes and what she does with it is her business. However, with great and understanding women, you will see them usually put some of that money to use in the house. I believe a man is totally responsible for household expenses but it gladdens the heart to see a woman trying to offer some form support. Again, I am very African in my thinking...

Bro wake up, its 2016

seunmsg:
Their grouse, it was learnt, is over the non-payment of what they termed their allowances, which amounted to N1.2 billion.


The protesting workers must be sick. The era where some federal workers in some powerful ministries get illegal allowances is over. All allowances not captured in the appropriation act or recognized by extant regulations is illegal and should not be paid.

its easy to castigate when it does not directly involves you.SOme people have been short changed while the politicians are smiling to the bank.I have parents whose difference in salary where not paid circa 1 year no even though they have been promoted in the civil service.

Shawls:
You people answering this guy have time to waste.Let him go and import his crew of "kokoye" builders from yankee, get them visas, pay them hourly wages, ship all the building materials from Home Depot or Lowes (just to build one single house in Elebu, Ibadan) and after all these hullabaloo, we can do a comparison of his "American White House" in 9ja to our own locally fabricated Aso Rock. After all, it's his house and he has a right to build it to his taste, abi?
Haba! nah wetin? I have a property in that very neighborhood(Oke Alaro, after the market)?one in NNPC, Apata, another 4 bedroom twin duplex(using 9ja's term) in Akala estate Akobo.In fact I used some NL's for the job & no noise at all.
What is your problem? Nah only you waka come from US?
You need to stop this nonsense.

E pain am

EgunMogaji:
Oya Erico2K2 and other CBN vigil folks

What is the status, where are we?

Should I have them lock the gate to the compound or will I be able to proceed with wild abandon?

Omo like this we still dey wait the pronouncements. These guys are not serious. I have checked and checked nothing rather the banks enter Ogboni meeting and came up with an inter bank Lending rate. How that take concern me and you on the street I dnt know. I will ring up my younger bro wen I gt home he wrks with them them in ABJ.

PassingShot:
I can properly school you in economic indices.
When naira was pegged officially at 197, did you see it to buy?

Again, read about differences between devaluation and floating perhaps you will be able to cure your ignorance.

Dont be too quick to jump. These bankers I dnt trust them. Who asked them to put a figure? Was that market forces at play?and the. CBN have they made that announcement promised?or am I missing something

crazymommy:
As expected....about 3 days ago a guy on a thread said he wants to sell his 10000$ Which he said he bought at the rate of 302 but that he wants to wait till it gets to 400naira per dollar,I adviced him that he should better sell it at that moment when it was around 350 because anything can happen on Monday which is today because I believe that the market might possibly fall in between the official price and the last parallel market price and that should be around 250-290.guess what??the guy said I am deceiving myself...that he is very intelligent and he believes that the dollar price will even open higher on Monday which is today....I hope the overconfident ignorant fellow his reading this...the annoying thing about some people on nairaland is that they feel they know it ALL and they are not ready to hear the opinion of any other person especially if it is coming from a woman....smh...

Bro no point in castigating the guy forex is mkt trending on risk factors and variables.if his permutations where right he gains if wrong then what happens today is the result.people have lost $billions in forex.

banjolek:
Hello guys,

I need your honest opinion on this, how much is really ideal to give one's wife as monthly pocket money?.

Here's my story, i recently got married and also moved to a new 3 bedroom apartment around gbagada. I earn a pretty decent income while my wife also works in the bank with a salary of like 150k. She saves a half of this salary and uses the remaining for upkeep.

Now the issue is my wife insists that i must give her monthly pocket money and i have proposed 20k, an amount i feel is more than adequate for her if added to about 75k which she already has to herself from her salary. Also note that this 20k does not mean i dont get to buy her random stuff during the month or provide anything she asks for if i feel its a reasonable demand.

A1so bear in mind that i am still 100% responsible for providing food and other bills in the house. In addition we just moved to a new apartment like i mentioned earlier and still in the process of furnishing it so a chunk of my monthly salary goes into furnishing the house.

We also have a plan to set up a business for her, so i'm also currently saving part of my salary to fulfill that dream.

Now my wife has rejected the proposed amount of 20k saying its too small.

I need your take on this people, considering all i have mentioned above, is 20k really too small to be giving her monthly?

i wrote this in a hurry, please bear with any typo observed.

To be honest to put a stop to money issue you have to empower your wife,.Marriage is a joint venture until the end, these days both of you are responsible for whatever outcome you dish out.Gone are the days when teh borden of one particular responsibilities is leveled on one person.
if your wife works and earns salary, both of you should sit down and elect on what you could each do to move yous two forward.It could be if you are renting pay the rent, and bills and kids bills and she could take care of feeding and some small domestics, if she is a Biz woman empower her so she could be dependent and confident.in this instance all you have to do is suprise her with gift every now and then, i n my case my wife actualy suprises me with gift every now and tehn more than I would do.
PS, I wrote this as a template irrespective of your situation at home.

Plz my guys, take it easy, no matter how much you bash yourselves, it wont heal anything points have been made and we should move on @ Back2sender and fast plz, no love lost.
In other news, I saw this today, I'm asking for opinions, how can we achieve this where metal used in this way would be cheaper than concrete

mavverick:
I think i prefer engineered wood flooring.

Laminates do degrade over time, if furniture is dragged on it, water damage as well or if something heavy drops on it and it has a gouge.
With proper wood flooring, every couple of years, you can sand it and lacquer it. Another lease of life without actually replacing the whole thing.
What I do not get is that despite the abundance of wood we have in nija, why dont we make proper wood flooring ?


Just a thought.

Well from my own view I dont think this will be a wise choice, wood floor wont last in Nigeria cos of sand factor, if in the bedroom or private areas hmmm mayB.It would cost 2much to maintain as you just said, sanding and re finishing,do you realy want to have a re acurent expenditure on your flooring

EgunMogaji:
If I am reading this correctly then we also need to be aware of the wind picking up the roof like a sail it the hang is too much.

Well if all pockets are isolated then the wind will not find any to pick
