olumide4christ:
[b]As a professional, I would like to advise you to ensure you completely cast your ground floor slab (or german floor or DPC as the laymen call it) before continuing with your blockwork up to lintel level. Don't use the system of raising the blockwork up and casting the german floor within the room spaces later as I presume you're planning to do considering the capping you've done.

Like I advised "EgunMogaji" on the off-topic thread created by Hajji Mufutau, doing the german floor using the 2nd method which you seem to be proposing will result in 2 problems along the line:

1. Cracks along the edges of the walls and german floor as a result of differential or uneven settlement between the walls and the german floor. This is because in this case, the german floor is not monolithic i.e. the walls and the german floor are 2 different entities and as such, will shift/settle independently. You will now have termites and other insects/pests passing through the cracks into the building.

2. Rising damp - you will begin to notice the walls becoming damp when rain falls or when the water table of the soil around the building rises.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE!![/b]

My brother without wishing to sound judgemental, I think there is nothing wrong with block capping, when it's properly done.

I have seen renowned engrs use this method many times....

Blyzz:
if you can't do it doesn't mean others can do it. don't judge people mainly by their comment, some are just commenting for comment sake! perhaps, a person like you may carry out other hidden responsibility for your wife.

My brother, the comments u see here are most times reflections of the poster personality and ideologies....

I know men do demeaning things to please women, but plaiting a woman's hair, is way out of it....

I really don't think is something to be proud of....

donTbone:
Sorry to call you a NINCONPOOP!

The thread is about my woman not man. Ask questions before you judge.
You know nothing about my family!


If you can barb you dad's hair, ion bloody care.Am sure once you make him go bald,
he z gonna think twice b4 giving his head to you!

Can you swerve now please!

@bold, I'm not interested in knowing anything about a family where men plait women's hair....

B. M. F.

nkemdi89:
That's you cut iron rod according to the size of the additional cracks and put one over the one making an X shape and add cement in between the layers to hold it firm.

Thanks for the explanation...
Still not too clear to me though...

But how come u know about this, Are u an architect or engr?

cruzita:

So this act is ur own definition of sweet?

Honestly, I must say u are very silly....

donTbone:
And whats the big deal?


I did it for my mum and sister, so hers wont be hard!

So na wetin ur mum & sis dey use u dey do be that?

What a great shame....
Why not engage in cutting ur brother or dad's hair, then the women can do their own thing...

I have always known that men who act like slaves around women, spent better part of their time with their mum or sis....

End time is near...

Kikero112:
Bad move.

This is what the man should have done.

1.Buy cookbook.

2.Wife and him should enter the kitchen together....and cook food based on cookbook.

3.Make mistakes, have fun with the mistakes....keep learning.

4.Within six months....the food will taste delicious.

It is obvious that the man married the woman because she was good looking.....not because he actually loved her. If he really loved her....he would have tolerated her lack of cookability skills. After all.....nobody's perfect. The minute we accept that....the better for everyone.

Does that lady look like someone that is willing to learn?

Rubbish!

SAMBARRY:
and who told you every woman is intrested in knowing how to cook? Some don't just care about cooking does that make her a bad woman or does cooking define a lady.

The same way not every man is intrested in football IS the same way not every woman cares about that

U dey off ur brain before u comment?

@bold, what kind of inappropos analogy is that?
U really do need a genetic engineering....

engees001:
women and shame be like bread and butter

U are right...
They are very close....

HateU2:
Really? You guys go through this? May God bless your hustles but it's not always easy for ladies too you know.

Don't make me laugh....

zobel:
The reason is that clay absorbs water and as such swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This swelling and shrinkage is what causes the cracks you see on the buildings there. I'm sure the roads there are bad and it is the same swells and shrinks that breaks up the road. The solution to this would be to escavate the clay and fill it with a soil that does not possess the clay properties e.g sandstones or sands. This can be done by first carrying out a seismic or resistivity survey to the depth of the clay soil before excavation takes place. Thanks.

And I'm a geophysicist!

Sir what is the cost range of doing the soil test?

nkemdi89:
The cause of it is as a result of the soil texture mostly, houses built on loosed soils tends to experience that a lot, I mean sandy soils and houses closed to swampy and marshy areas, also it's important to carry out German floors on the foundations and erect casted pillars at every corners of the wall to support the buildings. To repair the cracks, cracking it further by creating more spaces and insert iron rods forming x shapes then add more plasters To avoid it all get a specialist to carry a test on the soil before anything.

@bold, can u be more explicit...

Seems the op also closed her nairaland account after xmas holiday....

She has listen to the wrong people, I will still do as you have said, thank you

My brother u sound like a potential ingrate honestly...

Is she your blood sister?
If no, always appreciate her, we really do have few of her kind...

U wouldn't know what she has done for u until after your NYSC...

but in all in all, u really do sound like a potential in grate, if not u wouldn't have opened this ungrateful thread.

Do u know what it means to see someone through school?

U never enter life....

Dyt:

A man forgiving an adulterous woman brings about the possibility to father another man's child....

HaneefahRN:
Yap, if he touches me in sensitive parts, I wnt feel anything, but he sure wld feel a good slap on his face.

Lolzz...

@bold, e never reach like that o...

Cutehector:
it spans through dat age buh at 29, someone should hav gotten at least smth to do..

true sir...

HaneefahRN:
Why wld I un-dress in front of my brother, I can't even UnCloth in front of my father.
There is something there, my brother, in this age, when in-cest is reigning wt father having sex wt daughters, mothers having sex wt sons and brothers wt sisters.
It's better safe than sorry

lol...
as long is ur brother u wont even feel that arousal....
it's natural....

even if he touches sensitive parts u still wont feel anything....
sexual acceptance is zero by default..
people who engage in inccest do it for rituals...
it has nothing to do with whether u re nuude or not....
but if its someone else, ur body will naturally respond...

lets put this in context; try picture ur brother romancing u, u will get a mudane scenario, it cant generate anything sexual....

Dyt:
The best is to leave
LEAVE
JUST FECKING LEAVE


A SLAP IS THE END FOR ME
SORRY I AM THAT IMPULSIVE
PATAPATA I WILL STAY SINGLE

hmmmm
u never see anything....

HaneefahRN:
According to my religion and even any rational mind, once siblings of opposite sex attain puberty u av to separate their bed. Those are even teenagers o, not to talk of full adults. U might be thinking what's the big deal, but knw Satan is very powerful. Any where there are just two pple of opposite sex the third person there wld be Satan, whispering stupid things into their minds. U'll find urself getting attracted to someone u'av never or shld never think of sexually.
It's better safe than sorry.
And they av two beds, why shld they share one? Na wa o.

there is nothing wrong with it my sister....

cant u un-dress in brother's presence?

Ursino:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. But as Apostle Paul would say, to avoid temptation, just stay on separate beds.

Meanwhile, a 40+ man should be married naaw; and the sister(30+) should be married too. What are both siblings doing together without their partners? Just asking

which kind temptation?
brother and sister?

abeg o....
i see nothing wrong with it...

words of epic proportions....

God bless the op....

but don't u think that age extends above 29?

respect sir!

Kennycyphers:
yes
yea each labourer was paid 2000 naira i.e 6000 naira for the 3 labourers. Masons re paid separately based on the number of blocks dey lay @ the close of work. fore instance if 1 of the masons laid 300blocks @ the close of work, 300 * 30 naira per block = 9000 naira. His pay would be 9000 naira using counting method of payment.

about The pillars, I was having an issue with my neighbor about encroachment so I had to place the pillars inside my own plot to avoid trouble.
