Nice concept but it looks heavy. What happens when there is a need to run?

Soldier are meant to carry 2 times thier body mass.

Raskasal:
Well..., as much as I want to believe, all these are security implementation strategies which should be kept private and not leaking to the public. Nigerian Army should beware, especially when u don't know who ur enemy is. Pretence sometimes are good advancement towards capturing the boko boys..

Thumbs-up the NA

Oga look that Gun again if we get am 4 9ja

rollUP:
God bless our gallant soldiers

That's not the Nigerian army.we don't have that kind of guns.

Buhari what? Na wa o for you people. These policies are that of the CBN whose head was appointed not by Buhari.

Every Truckpusher is an economist in the social media Nigeria.

Don't be naive .it's his govt and responsible for the actions of the finance minister.

As a professional Engineer with COREN and vast years of experience, I wont support concrete capping on foundation block walls. Nevertheless, Circumstances make engineers/ builers sometimes compromise to this when clients give excuse of finance.

Technically, it is wrong.. Reason is just two..

1. The floor slab is suppose to be be monolithic. Casting the floor space later will cause tiny cracks along the joint... Concrete expand that is why you hear of expansion joint.. On this case.. No expansion joint.

2. When floor slab is casted monolithically, the weight of the slab is distributed evenly to all the support : Rammed floor, block wall, solid filled block wall and column as the case maybe.. Casting floor later mean the floor slab is supported solely by the rammed floor.. This is not good.

Conclusively, damping could have been managed if adequate provision of DPM was given or water repellents where used during the capping... The OP highlighted the location was water free with good Soil bearing capacity ... Which means her methodology of building is the within fair range...

But.. OP.. Put this in mind.. All Buildings have life span... Your methodology above must have in one way or the other reduced its life span.

To those asking where Coren wrote where u cant cap or separate your floor slab... There is no where u will see that.. What you will see in engineers design code where it is clearly stated that floor slab or suspended slab must be casted monolithically.

Watsapp me on 07032728941 if anyone wants further discussion....

Weldone sire.thus was my stands.I actually put pen to paper and discovered you save nothing for what it's worth ,you spend more.plus a less stable floor.

otokx:
How many plots of land is this?

A lil bit more than a plot

bebe2:

all aso-ebi will be rejected

need to focus

Madam how much B unu rate I hear say E reach 385 na true?

@bold, the ground floor is held solely by the sand underneath. Blocks can't hold ground floor slab, because it is not reinforced..

Why do u think people spend so much money on compaction, some even wait for rain, because the filling sand is the major thing supporting the German floor....

Some people don't even do block capping, they just floor with concrete after roofing....

Some people do not even use concrete to floor the grounds just cement and sand. We should not copy bad practices we should improve on the good ones.Let me ask you a question how do you now have same levels across all rooms when you now have walls up?.I repeat the walls will support your floor same way the beams round your walls on suspended slabs supports it. (Some people do not practice this as well)
If I'm building on water do I need compacted sand?no I need good pullers and a good reinforced slab.so it will rest on the pillers and walls as they (walls)will bear some weight.

E nor go work no one is putting thier forex into any Nigerian Bank.stories for the gods.

We know this two groups embarassing Nigeria since 1860

Phase 1
Excavation to dpc.
The excavation was done at 3 meters since its a bungalow and the dpc built up to 6 coaches because the land is table but not even. Since the land is not swampy. I decided to do a capping on the dpc and the German floor will be done later.

NO OOO dont do it.?ur floor wont be even and each room Will have it's own level.ur German floor is meant to be on top of the foundation blocks. Using it as support.if you go ahead with this plan your room slab will be held solely by the sand undernith.

beansandgarri:
Cost of moulding 3700 blocks

100 bags of cement 145k at 1450 to site.
30 tons o cutter sand 24k
30 tons of sharp sharp sand 25k
4 trips of sea sand (911) 62k
Water. 27k
Moulding 50k @ 500 per bag
:watering of blocks 4k
Miscellaneous 11k
Total 348k

Why buy water and not just drill the bore hole since you already have a plan for your build?mine cost me 85K in PH pump inclusive .saves you from buying water.

johnson232:
Neat job sir...
How many tons did u finally use for the filling? And what is the area of the building? How many coach did u do before Dpc? Thanks..

Area of plot 532.612 sqr mts
Area of building 256.8525 Sqr mts
I used a total of 14 mark trucks(4 buckets)10 tyres so 140 tons I guess.
I did 6 coaches before DPC

mufutau55:
You do well, well my brother.

Thank U very much sir.

Pavarottii:
Obasanjo tried it, e no work, yaradua came and saw the pressure. And he gave in. And now cos u av Internet on ur fone, u think u can say wat u like, u think Yaradua and GEJ are foolish 4 granting them amnesty?
Think b4 u talk! Ur state won't receive any allocation again; IOC's will pack up! A lot of disadvantages, compared to the advantages and thrash u r putting up there.

Even DSS won't go to the Creek when they are owed 3 mo ths salaries

2sex:
you should be ashamed of yourself. That is why your region is what it is and will remain so for many years to come.

And what is your region like then?if you ask me we should get rid of all oil Wells in the Delta and let Nigeria go back to the pre oil life.after all there are loads of country without Oil surviving

E383:
You blow up a pipeline, you do yourself. The company considers this as sabotage and are not indebted in any way to carry out any remediation.

On the other hand, you cause more harm to your people. The pipeline carrying crude which you blew up leaves crude all over the place which then follows the plume geometry and finds it's way into water aquifers. You polute the soil and your crops die, fishes die. Who loses? The government?

All what you just wrote had been happening for the past 30 years so there is nothing new for what's it's worth the Oil is more a curse than a blessing.

EgunMogaji:
You've done well. You've changed the dynamics of your areas skyline

I'll pick up the baton from you in March.

Egbon no wahala I'm already at the exchange point waiting to hand over the baton make I breathe small my pocket is hot

Inception:
bros weldone o!

what was the total expenses for the foundation?

Hmm it's kinda a bit hard to give U exact but I can give xtimate. I will get bck to you.
But to dig 1mtr was N500 it was
Column base alone was 500 and I had 46
Concrete work
Labour N500/bag,will gt bck to U on exact ammount of bags used.
Tappers/Mason N5000 for the day I used 4.
Iron bender cost N250000 to bend and errect all 46 starter bars and baskets.
But in all I have passed the N2.6 benchmark.

Ok we got to 4 coaches aka window Level and I'm resting and taking a breather at this point holiday mood over. phew.
Even the money in the wallet is Lean. ; ;DD

We managed to accomplish the German floor yesterday phew what a day it was
Today is forming of the wall/blocks and every minor adjustment a much less stressful job to do.

FastShipping:
I like 3/4 down for pillars, concrete walls and concrete floor. 3/4 down produces the best finish. The difference is clear.

I happen to mix both for my german floor.I still have shyte loads if that 1/2 so I'm using that for all exposed beams and frames.

GreatSE:
This is one thing our Yorubas brothers dont understand.... Is it not the person who paid the money they should invite....common sense is not actually common. I said my land is 2 trillion Naira if you have the money come and buy , is this a crime?

Leave them.the person who signed the deal is still in government, why not go after him mayB he is in the winning party lol

flokii:
Tinubu, Obj and co. you mentioned are key players in Nigerian politics..

do you know why Lagosians like Tinubu?... he was an opposition governor throughout his tenure buh was able to turn Lagos around despite hostility from d PDP led govt. then

tho. they are not saints but bliv me... they are intellectuals

they not only steal, they create wealth in their states/regions which other tribes like you come to benefit from

can such be said of SS/SE?... Asari had to build a university outside Nigeria for selfish reasons when his pple remain uneducated

Nwobodo?.... all we hear is.. how much did Nwobodo stole etc. etc. nothing positive

and mind you... they all have mansions in SW... banana island, lekki, VI, Eko atlantic city etc.

Oga let me.remind you. If lagos was not the sea to the FG for donkey years it will not have gotten to thastage. .Lagos is the least city in development that has an International a port and Airport. take these two away lagos would be nothing. I lie?.Go to MM passangers have halved since 3 major airlines began flying direct to ABJ and PHC.

flokii:
try to look up EFCC bro.. Economic & FINANCIAL CRIMES commission

at least PMB didn't violate court orders this time as they didn't take him forcefully

I just hope he honours d court invitation...

else 20 militants shall fall... infact all of them will fall when hell is let loose on them

Oga you seem to.forget history quite soon.these group of people can cost Nigeria 20 years of earning in just one day hence the FG and all the thieving politician decided to be paying them.This move is politically motivated. If not Y not invite Ameachi over Rivers state's finances? The word on the street nowadays is port to APC and get no invite from EFCC.

flokii:
you really think that guy is untouchable?

na Buhari regime be this o.. not GEJ

mayb you didn't notice... Asari Dokubo rejoiced when PMB said he would not witch-hunt anybody for their utterances during election campaigns... where is d loud-mouth Asari now? SILENT

and last time I checked, his people asked EFCC to probe him (Tompolo).. or am I wrong?

Which people?and I never said he is u touchable. Do not forget he is not in government. So what's the probe about? Would you probe a market woman cos she sold one cup of garri N90000 two years ago?or rather the buyer?

Obidikejr:
Guy didn't you hear oil price de fall? When oil price was at its peak over the past 17years what did PDP do to contain future problems like this fall in price we are experiencing now. You are suffering now because of the neglect of the previous governments not just GEJ regime. Look at Dubai, researchers told em in 1994 say, see Arabian your Arabian oil will dry up by 2016, use your Arabian sense to find a way out for your economy before 2016. Now our stupid politicians go there to chill in Dubai's luxury resorts. Do you know tourism account for 70% of Their GDP before oil? What did PDP do with the oil money for the past 16 years, answer me.

Oga the correct questions would be what did the government do with all the money cos last time I checked same people are still in government.

flokii:
ahahhaaa!

so you get sharp sense like this.. tot. twuz only romance o

well you've said it all... d main problem with SS/SE is that they emulate & celebrate corruption, something other tribes dnt have..

datz their bizness sha

Talk indeed is cheap.have you any idea the number of companies he owns nd the ammount of youth under his pay roll?do U know how many youths works u der him? Don't forget he is not in government he is a business man.even if he exaggerated the cost of the land that's not his fault. The government depth tjat paid should be called to question oh I forgot they all Port to APC.

irunooboo:
Tompolo is finished. No wonder he is reported to be hiding in the creeks as he is no longer able to sleep in his home due to the looming consequences of his actions. Who are these guys really fighting for cos Niger delta indigenes who they claim to be fighting for are mostly poor and underdeveloped despite producing an accidental clueless president called GEJ for 6 years. Funniest thing is that the same oppressed and poverty stricken youths of Niger delta will instead invade this thread to defend these wicked thieves who contributed to their misery all in the name of "Na Our Oyel" as if a kobo of the oil money was spent on their miserable lives. I hope Buhari locks him up and throw away the keys like he did to that Biafraudster called Nnamdi Kanu

The thievs in the creeks are beter than the theives ruling us today.

I'm a resident and indigene of Orlu geopolitical zone.
After a turbulent week as a result of fuel scarcity and hike in Imo state , I'm compressed to ask this question ; Why do we buy fuel between #120 -130 and the same fuel is being sold #87 in the north? Does it mean that the govt only subsidises fuel that goes to the north.... and easterners can buy high.

Cos your suppliers are xtreemly greedy
