mufutau55:The attached brief video illustrates how hollow blocks are laid neatly and efficiently (mortar-wise), using a common trowel. It boils down to training and appropriate compensation for highly skilled block layers. This reminds me of the reasons why Togolese are deemed exceptionally good on plastering, tile-work, etc. Sometimes, it ain't the quality of the hammer, but the skill of the carpenter that creates shabby results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VGjA66RSm0 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji: Very neat block work for your fence, without the excess cement mortar joints one often sees even on main buildings! |

EgunMogaji: I am bit closer to home, ATL vs Cali!!!! Our pre-war home in P.H. had those vented wooden windows!!! US homes with the standard wood frame readily allow for the duct work for central AC and whole house fans, especially for multi floor houses. My challenge on the ongoing design of my village duplex is how to cost-effectively incorporate HVAC ducts for the ground floor beneath a concrete decking. The same challenge affects adoption of central AC at home, even if we had "normal" electricity supply. Any ideas on the whole house fan for a duplex? |

EgunMogaji: I thought that 12 coaches of 9 inch blocks is 9 ft. I really admire your idea of whole house fan and attic venting. I hardly see gable vents on our newer home designs. |

Can one use a USA 240V 60HZ multi split inverter AC in Nigeria's 240V 50Hz power supply? Thanks. |

abdulwastecx: Thanks for advancing our understanding of this alternative. Those of us who are not keen on a "concrete necklace" parapet may find the illustrative cost of polystyrene very attractive. For our further education, would you mind highlighting any potential benefits in the structural design/cost of a house that has this lighter fascia. In other words: any significant cost savings on load bearing structures such as columns, slabs and beams when using polystyrene vs concrete "necklace"? Thanks again! |

abdulwastecx: I have wondered why most are not embracing polystyrene as an alternative material for parapets, window and door dressing, decking etc. I am planning a project and would like to identify where and how to efficiently and effectively use polystyrene. How does the total cost of the fascia compare to concrete parapet? Also, how can I contact you to discuss possible involvement in my project. 2 Likes 1 Share |

spyder880:Nna, I have been following your various projects since last year. Congrats on your great work; thanks for all the lessons. I live abroad and have engaged an architect in Enugu to design a duplex to be built at my ancestral compound at Obe (along 4-Corners to Agbani Rd). As part of my design input, I need to indicate the dimensions of the single, double and decorative-fixed Windows. I am torn between this our new Nkanu house and the ones used on the "Port Harcourt Mansion"below: https://www.nairaland.com/attachments/2981591_20150902234537_jpeg041a0abfe6aadee5bebec69582308f6c Would you be kind enough to tell me the dimensions of the Windows for the P.H. Mansion (including the tall decorative front window)and our ongoing "Spyder-Nkanu Mansion"? Keep up the blessed work. Joel 2 Likes |
