Oga @Biztech05, thank you for another lovely work. You have provided me another area for “Owambe parties” and other recreational events on a full plot of land.
We shall do the painting later with probably the Epoxy paints you suggested.
Thanks for suggesting the water plumbing and all the electrical works unto the area.
We shall use the color on the pics below.
You are highly recommended. Thanks again.

To double check if the land can take the proposed structure, we conducted the soil test two weeks ago.

Wonderful! We are following.

joetoocute:
Is this website legit?

I have the same reservation too.

ladyteeks:
Not at all, besides Omonile wahala

Wao!. Interesting.

ladyteeks:
Yes that's already done

:

Wao! I love the idea o. Hope there was no any disturbance during the constructions.

ladyteeks:
Yes, he refunded because he hasn't done the work. I am a legal professional so I know.

Moreover, not everyone wants a refund. Some people want their job done as agreed.

It's better than not having your job and not having your money.

ladyteeks:
I only included the Duplex in the plan and was approved. Never had any issues since then.

Did you build the other two beds and BQ?

raymondFirstborn:
Ok una don finally drag me.
I visited the site on Saturday 9th. With my architectural team. We took measurements.
Started work on 11th. Sent her the 3d and sketch on the 18th. She wanted amendment which I told her on the 19th would be ready today 20th. She sent a message today, saying delivery was slow and I refunded in full .

Please note delivery was supposed to be 2weeks from site visit.

Meaning working drawings supposed to be delivered this Saturday.

You've done well by refunding her.

ladyteeks:
Raymondfirstborn

He immediately refunded the money but that's not the issue. I paid him on Sep 9, he said the entire duration was 2 weeks but would send the sketch in few days. I asked him some questions on Sep 10 and didn't contact him until Sep 15. He promised to send it on September 17. I didn't hear from him and sent him a message. He sent me a rough plan different from what I specifically requested. I knew it was a rush job. He sent me a 3d design that I have already seen online without including the specific balcony design I wanted. I hate to harass anyone but then sending me a message about "me harrasing you and how busy you are blah blah is not professional". As a professional, you must be able to balance work and task. Most importantly, communication is very important.




Floor plan should take 3 to 5 days. I am the one who constantly send a message to this man. I understand that "he is busy." I don't like harrasing people but I

Please, mention name. You will be supporting and abetting bad behaviour if you are making it cryptic. Shebi you don pay?

Since he has refunded you, there is no big issue. He is a nice guy here.He might be very busy

Check with these guys if you still need one:

@Biztech05
@Uncleeth
@Nifemiayoade

in no particular order. Do your due diligence.

ladyteeks:
I am very disappointed with a specific architect on this platform. I saw a design he posted in 2020 and have been communicating with him since then.
I decided to give him a chance to desgin my project and I have to be the one constantly chasing him down for a sketch after almost two weeks. Professionals need to do better. If you are busy, do not take a job. No one wants a rush job because by doing that you're creating an insecurity in your client.

Please, mention name. You will be supporting and abetting bad behaviour if you are making it cryptic. Shebi you don pay?

More house finish pictures as we race to complete this house............

Fantastic job!

acorntree:
It's normal, it will surely stopped with time. After a year you won't notice that again. Always allow the water to settle before you start using it for now

I doubt the normalcy in this situation. It's more than a year already.
The one you are talking about is not a one year thing. With a week of constant pumping the water should be clean with no particles.

StemCellTherapi:
I am not the one that fixed it.

And I doubt those that did carried out any survey.

A geophysical survey is very essential. That would have informed you the appropriate spot and other parameters that the site of drilling has.
I did mine in one village called Orilemo along Abeoukuta road. It is very clean.

how much do you charge for geophysical survey?
Lagos.

StemCellTherapi:
Happy Sunday everyone.

Please I have an issue.

This time last year, we fixed bore hole in our house. After they finished, we noticed that white sand comes out of the water any time we pump water.

They said we should allow the water to flow out for some hours before allowing it enter into our tank so that the sand will all come out.

But after the stipulated hours given, the sand was still coming out.

The drillers said it's normal that with time, the sand will stop coming out.

So we bought a water filter to connect it to our pipes so that it can filter the sand and clean water can be coming into the house.

Also we had to still buy electric kettle for boiling water. Whenever there is light, we would stay up even till midnight trying to boil water for drinking.

It's really stressful.

This is what we have been doing for over a year now.

Yet we have borehole o!!!

I see people who have borehole in their houses who don't go through this type of stress while having borehole.

I see people who have borehole in their homes, who just wake up, take a cup, go to their tap and drink water.

But I can't do that even with my borehole

We had to raise money and do borehole because we faced lots of stress using well but it seems there was no point atall.

Till date, white sand still comes out of the bore hole when we pump water.

Please what can I do in this situation because I am tired.

Did you do the survey for the borehole?

Abeg make una help me, how many 6inch block will I need to fence a plot of land? Your help will be highly appreciated.

Below is courtesy of @hslbroker2. You might find it useful.

https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/3226#118776830

The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

About 5 trips of Sharp Sand.

Regards.

Yes..
Stone coated woodwork can work for longspan,metcopo and steptiles the only amendment is just the ridge part.. becos aluminium ridge cap is differ from stone coated ridge cap but if you decide to make use of computer ridge you don't need to amend it..
But Aluminium woodwork can't for for stone coated

Good one!

message me on WhatsApp let talk

How do you want us to patronize you?

One person is asking for several people.
Even though you don't want give a specific figure, you can give a range.

But message me on Whatsapp will deter several others.

Good afternoon everyone.... I saw a video of floor tiles being used on external floor, it looks beautiful but won't it break when cars drive through it? What are your thoughts about it?

Yes, I have seen it with cars parked on them but I want to believe they are not the ordinary ones. Ask the tiles guy. He might have an idea.

Pls let us be careful about our wiring of our project or house. Somebody called me on Monday to inspect an apartment in IKOYI , they have electrical issues and three of their AC's got burnt in the last four month. We went there and carry out power audit. We discovered that all the socket outlets and AC switches has no earth cable . We saw earth pit chamber within the compound and also 4mm green earth cable run from earth pit to only ground floor distribution and there is no continuation to the first floor distribution board. Anytime there is surge in that area definitely it will affect one or two things in the house and this surge normally occur when there is power supply from PHCN. We plugged electric kettle to one of the socket outlets, the body of the kettle conduct electricity. The electrician only earth the distribution and not the entire house . The body of kitchen , the washing machine and some other electrical appliances are conducting

TAKE NOTE OF THE ANALYSIS BELOW

Lighting
You can use RED and BLACK cable only, reason is because there is no earth terminal in most of the light fittings they produce nowadays

SOCKET
2.5mm RED, BLACK and use 1.5mm green as the earth cable. And remember the same number of coils of cable is require for this. I have seen messages t from people requesting for 2.5mm
Red 3coils
Black 2coils
No green ...
The quantities above is wrong and incomplete
A. The quantities of RED must be the same with quantities of BLACK because they are both running from the same DB to each socket. The only area where we normally have more RED. than BLACK is when we are doing cable for lighting. The reason is that neutral doesn't connected to switch except you want to use smart switch

B. Earth cable is missing.and earth cable must have the same quantities as RED and BLACK

AC
4mm RED, BLACK and 2.5mm GREEN. And they must all have the same quantities since the are to connect to distribution boards down the AC switch .

Also the main earth cable to building always depend on the size of load cable used

If your load cable is 16mm IEE permit 10mm to serve as your earth cable.

Most time your earth cable can serve as neutral ONLY IF your neutral fails . That's why it very important and necessary to earth your building ..

If your neutral fail and there is no earth cable to serve as neutral your voltage can go as high as 300V and witt thus high voltage alot of things will get damage

Pls always insist on earth cable especially for your
