fabulous85: the cracks only appear where there are pillars on the wall. the rest of the wall and the main building has no cracks so I chiselled and nailed wire mesh to the crack, then plastered but it still appeared. It’s a structural failure. You can drop a picture let’s examine. Or get a qualified structural engineer to examine it for you. |

Twostep: Good morning house. Please I did my decking on the 3rd of February and had about 28 bags of cement left which was covered with nylon to prevent water/rain.
My question is how long can it be kept for before usage as it’s what I intend using to continue the upper floor but still gathering funds for that purpose.
Does it expire sort of and how much more time do I have ?
Thanks In anticipation. Just know it hardens over time. Maybe you should find something to do with it, like plastering. But you’ve a grace of 6-8 months |

diordaves: Make I join the debate.
A bungalow is a single storey with ONE floor: the ground floor.
A four-flat and duplex is a double storey with TWO floors.
But in Nigeria, four-flat or duplex is a storey building.
So if one says in Nigeria, I want to build a storey building of four flats, that's an UPSTAIRS with two floors.
Architects in the house, what's the professional term? You’re right! The Nigerian term is wrong! If you go for approval they’d tell you to rename it. I’m a civil engineer |

Hadrianus: It matters. If you check the Wikipedia image it states "story". 2 Story = American, 2 Floors (1st & 2nd) 2 Storey = British, 3 Floors (Ground, 1st & 2nd) I think you’re mistaking floor for storey! G+1 is a 2 storey building wether American or Britain The only difference is Britain calls it ground floor while Americans call it first floor. But storey is from floor to floor or floor to roof. |

yungmin: A storey building is not always a bungalow. It depends on whether you are describing based on UK or American standard. a storey means from floor to floor or floor to roof. A bungalow is a one storey building because it consists of only one storey (floor to roof) A duplex is a 2 storey building and one suspended floor (dpc to first floor then first to roof) that’s why it’s a two storey building British or American naming. British named their ground floor as ground floor whilst the Americans call it first floor. This doesn’t really have anything to do with storey.

2oby: Hello everyone. I went for a loan today in my bank(gtbank) and i was told i have been blacklisted for a Quick Credit loan and the reason was simply given as NPower. Yeah i was a beneficiary but not anymore for over a year. The reason might b they r profiling us for a wt cbn but even at that, blacklisting is extremely wrong. We all have lives outside npower especially now that it appears not have impact anymore. Some of us run little business that requires loan n this blacklisting is killing it. CBN needs to look into this. i don't understand you. Did Npower borrow you money and you refused to pay back? why will cbn blacklist you |

This free will argument is kind of complex.
Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.
The way the bible described the angels was as if they didn’t have free will.
But Satan (lucifer) had free will. |
