This quote is fair to me sha, some even seem under estimated to me, will only 70bags be enough for raising those number of blocks? As for the german floor I don't know the mix ratio he intends to use, so I can't say. I think 40 blocks is too much for block moulding, 35 at most, even if it's 5 inch. The only thing that seems high to me is the number of blocks, which may be justified by the topography of land and nature of soil, outside that, if the building is 12m x 12m, I advise u go ahead with this builder, I'm not a builder, i'm just contributing from experience.

No. Different sizes of granite is the best. on many occasions I have experimented and have proved that well graded is the strongest and the best for concrete.
How did I do this? I took small sized granite for sample 1, then took big sized granite for sample 2 and took different sizes for sample 3. Then cast the three concrete mixes separately using the same cement and sand. Three different set of standard cubes were made. After 21 days and 28 days, these cubes were taken to be crushed in a concrete laboratory. The results showed that the well-graded Sample was the strongest because it took longest before it crushed.

You are good...

My ex, my gf, my ex.... What u talking nigga? U are a confused guy, u don't even know what u want. Did both of u swore to an oath? Is there any law enacted by the present national assembly restraining u from breaking up with her? If a b!tch got an attitude u can't condone, u ditch her...

As regards your ex, leave that hoe for good man, don't know what is happening these days, too many feminine men...

opalu:
8 headpans for sharpsand is too much. Reduce it to 4 if the granite is well graded meaning it has different sizes of granite in the trip. If it's only big sized granites you could get, then increase the sharp sand to 5 or 6.

Reason being that when the size of granite are the big, there is tendency for voids to be created between them. Hence those spaces weaken the concrete even if sand fills the voids. when there are different sizes (I don't mean shapes) of granite, theN during casting and vibra-tion, ththe smaller sizes will find their ways into the voids between the bigger ones

Thanks a lot sir. If that is the case, isn't it more better to cast concrete with the smallest size of granite(chippings)?

Lol....

Sharrap! Fool!

What has his mum some to be special? If na to born pikin, I could have done that since I was 13.

If he cannot respect women, he should not expect me to respect a woman who gave birth to a nonentity.

Keep on exposing your folly and irredeemable self inferiority complex. If indeed u are of any importance as u claimed, why insult someone's mum or drag her into this issue to establish your worth? It only bespeaks u aren't even proud of yourself, if not, u wouldn't have brought his mum into the picture, u would have defended your worth without alluding to someone's mum.

I haven't seen any man make reference to a lady's father when his importance is being questioned, but u ladies are quick to make reference to man's mum before finding lame points to defend your worthless existence. It's now glaring u are as empty as emptiness itself, u are of no substantial substance, worthless thing comparing herself to a woman that has been able to raise her little boy to a grown man...

Silly girl, quote me again and see if I don't spank your a$$ tonight. Remember what I did to u last night, Hope u wouldn't want to scream my name tonight again?

*b!tch remember how I cum in your mouth..*
I know u like that...

opalu:
Ok. In that case 1 bag to 4 headpans of sharp sand to 4 headpans of granite Means 1:2:2 mix ratio.
THIS RATIO IS VERY ADEQUATE.
But you must know that is will be stronger than standard concrete Which is 1 bag to 4 headpans Sand and 8 headpans of well graded granite

Sorry I answered wrongly, I meant 1 bag of cement to 8 headpans of sand and 8 headpans of granite.

Nah, my future son will think I have been awesome since my first word therefore I am definitely not an ordinary woman. I am a female, his mother is a female. If he thinks he can disrespect me because of my gender then he should know that his mum is exactly like me. What he says about my gender, directly relates to his mother and sisters.

Stop using gender as smokescreen. U want him to put u in the same level of respect with his mum? U are insane! What have u done to deserve such respect? How old are u? Stop comparing yourself to his mum just to feel important.

U can compare yourself to his single sisters, same category, but not his mum. U are just like every other ordinary single lady out there. Not until u have been able to bag the appellative 'mother', u can never be accorded with the same respect.
Deal with it. Silly girl...

[quote author=kosplateau post=38837713][/quote]Thanks my brother...

akike:
I am a soon to be mum. I am special. Iam awesome. I don't deserve to be told that ‘she is not worth it because she is a female'. Do you think it is justifiable to say that to all mothers out there?

@bolded, until then, u are just an ordinary female. deal with it. Mothers deserve the special treatment and recognition they get because they deserve it. Mothers are female, agreed. But the appellative 'mother' makes them more special than any other female that is still aspiring to be a mother...

Pls bend to give 1-inch or 25mm concrete cover. i.e. 175mm for the 225 column and 400mm for the 450 column measuring out-to-out. @ what stage is your building now johnson232?

Thanks a lot for the response. Just wanted to know if my builder is on track, it's a remote place. The building is @ slab level, the builder says he is gonna need to increase the height of the beam reinforcement below the slab. Hope this is okay sir? Where are u base?

opalu:
Do you mean 1 bag to 4 headpans each of sand and granite?

Yes sir.

malkomx:
this is going to be a two-storey house of six flats semi-detached
we are beginning immediately web sort out perimeter security
i.e. as soon as the gates become operational and the gate-house is roofed
thanks for following

Pls my engr. What was the size of the rings for the 225mm and 450mm columns (I mean the bending not thickness). I'm talking about the box formed by the rings.

adebaxton:

Nice job sir...
What is the size of those rings(I mean the bending not thickness), and the depth of the foundation? The land seems like a good land.

If you are working with the right sizes of re-bars, bent and tied to specification as provided on your structural drawings.
and you are using the 42. 5R grade Portland cement then this mix will work for your columns, slabs and beams.
But you must ensure strict supervision and make sure you don't allow them to over-fill the head-pans or wheelbarrows during batching

Thanks boss.
I really do appreciate...
When do u propose to start the duplex?

SAMBARRY:
There's a song our Sunday school teacher used to teach us back in the days as kids

prayer is the key prayer is the key prayer is the masters key,
Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer, prayer is the masters key

they say in every situation we should pray.that was what our pastors and society preached to women when they're having a turbulent marriage. So I'm redirecting that line to you to help you

next

U must be very silly! What has this got to do with the post? U want the op to keep praying while he fathers another man's child? Any honest person would advise the op to go for DNA after reading his post. I'm pretty sure u're a woman.

@ ope30 pls go for DNA test. It's obvious she is cheating on u, why would she get sullen for asking her to delete a man's number? Funny enough she only came for a visit & she can't even compose herself, abeg go do DNA...

Admittedly I emotionally weak, but is that a crime? I mean, I didn't create myself that way. As for my age I'm in my early 20s she's my first love actually. Thanks

Lol... It is a challenge u need to overcome if u really wanna enjoy any relationship with a girl, most especially nigerian girls. Since this is your first love, it's natural for u to act this way. But I employ u to call the relationship a quit, it will seem painful for a while, but will make u a better person in the long run. Sooner or later she will still dump u for a more hardened nigga, why not save yourself some respect and let b!tch go....
U don't need any hoe to live happily as a nigga....

wasak:
I've tried, I've held myself for a whole week without any form of communication with her, but that was d highest I could go, we settled and she promised to adjust, as it is now I perceive she's incorrigible, it's either i accept her that way, or I take a walk. But I'm also scared of her falling into the wrong hands....

@bolded, u are a weak guy...

wasak:
For two days now she has not been replying my messages. Irony of life, a phone I bought for her

This is real weakness, did u offend her?
Is she your first love?
How old are u?
U sound too soft.

thanks Johnson232
we're using 1:4:5
this is because we want to be economical with cement since these are not really load-bearing per se
the column for the fence is 225mmx225mm (9"x9"
pls note that the fence itself is of 150mm (6" blocks, so the columns have a 75mm (3" projection outside.
But gate columns are bigger. They are 450mmx450mm (18"x18" reason being that our gates are quite weighty

Thanks for the response my brother. Would u suggest this same mix for a storey building? For the columns, slabs and beam?
I'm planning to use this mix.

Wives are turn 2 slaves in their matrimonial homes,they have no say or decision,all they do is to obey and adhere to strict rules from their dictators(husbands) bullshit*

@bolded, it's tradition, that's how we met it, just like the way we met bride price. U women should start the revolution from the abolition of bride price. It should be holistic, the price attached to the bride signify transaction, which is synonymous to slavery, buying and selling.

Whether the amount involve is peanut or not, a price was paid. Women should start protesting against bride price, the same tradition encouraging men to treat their wives as slaves, is also responsible for bride price...

opalu:
The size of pillar for me trance porch 225x225 is adequate For simple 1 or 2 storey building. After the casting, at finishes stage, someone that designs mortar POP can do a mortar design round it for it to look thicker like round dia of 400mm or 500mm.

U're bless sir,I'm grateful... I have decided to settle for a mix ratio of 1:4:4 for all the concrete works, both for columns and lintels. Hope that is okay?

malkomx:
lintels & columns done

Neat job I must confess. What mix ratio did use for the column and lintels? And what size of column are u proposing for the fence?
