morning, these questions are not technical but let me attempt them.

1. How many persons can lift one = Depending on the size of window 2, 3 or 4.
2. Is it with bare hands or what? = Builders' choice - but we used bare hands
3. What will hold the men up = Scaffolds or a wooden platform, the same thing that would hold the men up when setting blocks above hand level or casting the conventional lintel
4. What if it falls and breaks = Just like any other building component, replace it.

I hope its 4/4

. Many Thanks! Will be exploring this option soonest.

Thanks for this information.. I was about to roof my house. The carpenter give me the quotation of.
3by4......26pieces
2by4........140pieces
2by3.........140pieces
1by10.......20pieces
2by2..........150pieces.
The house is 3bed rooms. Is this right sir? Plus how many bundle of alo zinc would be enough for 3bed rooms?

.
Whether the quotation is right or not depends on the size of your house, it's shape, the roof plans, proposed roof height etc. If you can supply these information, it will aid the experts in the house to assist you

What about the ones they call Cameroon Zinc and Alo Zinc? How good are they?

Does this POP ceiling prevent termites from entering the roof of the house? Again,are there chances of the ceiling falling from the roof?

Does doing front gable roof reduce the cost of roofing in any way?

Does this POP ceiling prevent termites from entering the roof of the house?

Am as confused as you are about this issue. I pray someone responds.

2x4x18,2x3x12 and 2x2x12 for ceiling noggin

. Sir, plz if 2x2 is for ceiling noggin,what are 2x3 and 2x4 for? Plz help me understand better. Thanks

Plz recommend sizes of wood for roofing a simple 3 bedroom bungalow. NOTE: No parapet. Thanks

Oga,plz what wood sizes would you recommend for roofing a 3 Bedroom bungalow. NOTE: No parapet. Thanks.

Are those doors imported or locally made? How much did they cost?

HsLBroker:
2x2
woods are mainly use for ceiling noggin, but if you are installing stone coated roofing sheets to cover your roofing wooden carcass, full size 2x2 is suitable too for your purling(note that I said full size 2x2 not solo) because the full sizes 2x2 is what most saw mill now saw or sell for 2x3.

2x3 is mainly use for purling or latt according to how the carpenters call it. (Purling or latt is the vertex level point on the roof where the roofing sheets will be lay)

2x4 is use for the tie beams, joining or bracing, Ridges and finally ridges construction on the roofing carcass

2x6 is for king post

3x4 is use for the wall plate

of course everyone should know facial board is 1x12 but for aesthetic design on the roof it will be reduce to 1x10.

Facial board is mainly use when there is no parapet attach to the block roofing level.

Thanks

. Sir, my house does not have concrete facial and of course I will need 1x12. But my question is, apart from this 1x12, does it mean I would still need all these other 5 different sizes?

HsLBroker:
for a long lasting roof, I will advice you to use 3x4 for your wall plate and 2x6 for your king post.

. Ok. But if I use 3x4 and 2x6, will I still need to use 2x3 and 2x4?

Plz sir, I plead to be properly guided as to the correct wood sizes to use for a simple 3bedroom bungalow. I do see some quotations that don't include 3x4 and 2x6. While some do include it. Is it a matter of choice or does it depends on the type of the house. Thanks
