Wow! Very good and educative reading. I will see if I can get the movie mentioned to learn more. But in our Nigeria with little or no electricity, I was thinking of using alternatives like a battery operated ventilator fan to keep fresh air inside and vent to the roof attic. I will print and study more from that website. Thanks for sharing the link Sir.

You can put all those things on a Solar-Charged, battery, completely separate from the house Electricity supply.

But be careful in-case the bad guys set the place on fire (smoke-out-the rats system).
Internal HEAT (not fire!) will eventually kill or force out the occupants

Please put these into your "planning" as well.... and mitigate for such scenario.

It doesn't work. I remember sometime in 1993 when some robbers came to house to operate. This was house that we all knew to have brooms, horns and mini calabash hung at the entrance of this house. The big boys operated unabated and left on their own with valuables. In the morning, we all asked ourselves what happened to the brooms and calabash? Why didn't the robbers pick the brooms and sweep as many people always believe?

So go ahead and tell me what you believed happened to the brooms.

This forum/thread is not the place to discuss whether it works or not.
The issue itself, is beyond the understanding of some ( l dont want to sound condescending to you or anyone....).

Its like someone who has never experience the "Power of God", saying "God does not exist"!
You can forgive that person because they are speaking from their "little experience and understanding".

Again, its like someone who encounters a "quack Doctor" when he was ill (by Quack, l mean poorly trained, not well grounded medic, even though he passed through Medical college) ...... and therefore concludes that "All Doctors" are quacks or cant heal someone!


Its like when a "bad mechanic" wreaks your vehicle in the process of fixing a little problem .... and you say ALL Mechanics are INCOMPETENT/BAD or dont know their stuff! (I had one like that who took the whole interior of my SUV down, including front seats and dashboard!... just because he was trying to activate the back side (back seat and boot woofer) audio systems and the Roof-level TV screen!

He charged me 20K for it, rubbished my upholstery and still did not do the job.
I later took it to another Mechanic who asked that l bring the Vehicle Manual and within 5minutes, he activated the audio and video settings! (funny we dont all create time to read the Manuals when we buy our vehicles! but there it was in black and white!
I called the former mechanic to come and see what he should have done!
He apologised and offered to refund me but l told him to keep it (He spent the better part of two days dismantling and re-coupling the vehicle! but he has been working with me since the 1990's, even in a corporate environment and l know he is good) that it was out of "dearth of knowledge" and not that he was trying to cheat me. I just advised him to "Upgrade his 'knowledge-base' about newer cars)

We all, can speak from our own "depth of experience" in life and make judgements/pronunciations, based on what we know, about a particular subject.
To make matters worse, there are "Charlatans" who profit form the ignorance of others and dupe them of their money, while promising to give them, what they themselves dont have! How can you then give what you dont have?

So, l have learnt not to argue with anyone who says "It's is not real" because l know that they speak from their own understanding and life experience.... which is limited to what they know and have been "exposed to".

Let me conclude with a Youba Proverb that says "Omode o'mogun, o'npe l'efo".
this literally translates to "An inexperience person/Child does not recognize 'native potion', he ignorantly calls it a 'Vegetable Soup'"

Abeg, make una help me beg am make im nor chop that so-called vegetable Soup o, o'dikwa dangerous!

First, you need to contact Newspapers and TV stations to publicize your "new" story.

2.) You need to print ALL your conversations (from your own profile) that lead to this meeting that made you end-up in Maiduguri

3.) You need to ask the TV stations like Channels and Newspaper, to lead you into contacting the DSS. Explain you rstory with evidence to back it up

Hopefully, if you cooperate fully with Security Agencies, you case may still be redeemable!

But honestly, it will take a miracle for any one to trust or believe you.

You are right, the child deserves better than this!

IMO, l think we should have a LAW that protects the child and GURANTEES their RIGHT to ACCESS ANY/BOTH PARENTS.
One parent or one "Adult" should not have the audacity to deprive a child the "right of access" to his father or Mother.

A child has no part in what adults do to themselves or between themselves but WOMEN have a penchant to use the Children as a weapon to hurt the man, to hurt their rival or just to make money for themselves, not minding the damage it does to the Child.

CHILDHOOD is a period in life which, if missed, can never be regained again.
It should be "protected" by LAW.

That statement was the last, of a series of statements stating[b] what the "IPOD Times" failed to identify, as "things that we need to do" ...to get better as a nation![/b]
Improving our "Educational Sector" so that people like you ca n get "sound, all-round education", instead of the "secessionist propaganda" that is used to fill your brain cells so much so you cant comprehend simple sentences!

My point to you is that "break-Up" of the country IS NOT a Solution to Nigeria's problems (good Governance and all those things l mentioned, are more like it) because all the current problems will also reflect in those ethnic enclaves that would be created by a break-Up, except someone can prove to me that the IPODS are not involved in EVERY SINGLE ONE of those problems l listed earlier

abdulwastecx:
Very good analysis and taught provoking one at that... The column option is not practicable because in most residential houses columns are spaced at minimum of 3m center to center accros the exterior walls where this roof rest and having it in mind that roof truss are generally spaced at 1.2m center to center, this will leave so many roof truss out of line (unless we are using iron truss).

We can also provide a very thick wall plate to span between these column but this wall plate will be under considerable bending and shear at point where the roof loads act on them, thereby necessitate for need of a very thick wall plate which may be expensive and contribute lots of weight to the building.

Ways to reduce cost is to reduce the section of the concrete of the head course to 4'' instead of the normal 9'' and to use nominal reinforcement like 4 y8 instead of 4y12, the mix ratio can also be reduced

Thanks for shedding light on this, especially with valid figures.

In the area highlighted above, where there is a chance that some Roof trusses might be "out of line":


Can we not then adopt Hajj's proposal, by filling Sandcrete Blocks in that particular line/spot, with Mortar/Granite mix, adding 2y8 irons (for anchorage) at that spot.... instead of doing the whole length of Wall?

That way, would we not have saved even more weight, materials and cost....while still achieving all the desired objectives?

Cheers.

mufutau55:
@Lastpage
How about just blocking every other or three blocks holes with concrete mortar and embedding two pieces of short 10mm iron rod inside and when the concrete is ready the rods could be used to tie down the roofing wall plate.
Filling every other three blocks will surely save money and weight. Hope you understand my explanations.
Something like that was done on my project with parapet and roofing preparations. I will see if I can find a picture and attach later.

Hajji M.

abdulwastecx:
This method will expose some of the sancrete block to direct point load from the roof trus[/b]s, knowing that these sandcrete blocks we use here [b]have very low strength (less than 1N/mm2) such point load may causes cracking of the wall in the long run.

Thank you Hajj M and Abdulwastecx!

I am referring to Head Courses!

From the post of AbdulWastecx, l guess they are important and serve a very important purpose of EVENLY DISTRIBUTING WEIGHT of the Roof, on the sandcrete block Walls. That answers my first question.

Now to the next stage, which is where the post of Hajj M, (up there) comes into play!
I always like to learn and like even more, to REFINE METHODS that are already established.
I believe that we can always improve on what we already know, by trying newer methods.

Such improvements will be guided
1.) Achieving the "set objective"
2.) Doing it in a way such that it costs less, it is safe (or even safer), faster or less-effort consuming.

My own suggestions were to "save on Materials used .. and thus, overall WEIGHT" (Just like Hajj M), but by ensuring that the mortar or concrete mix, is PREVENTED from falling into the Holes.

Hajj M has come up with a brilliant suggestion involves not actually putting the "Head Course" on the whole SandCrete Block layout.
Hajj has proposed we just do it at intervals.....while putting tie-rods into such intervals (l hope l comprehended you properly Hajj? ) to hold the roof beams.
This will definitely save on materials and weight (as we completely avoid most of the Blocks).

But Abdulwastecx has pointed out that we would be putting excessive weight of the Roof on such Blocks that were filled with mortar mix since they would form POINTS where the weight of the roof will be acting downwards upon.
he reminded us that our Blocks are not that strong.
I agree 100% with this observation.

Now, l am thinking there is a way we can do what Hajj M suggested, while achieving What AbdulWastecx has in mind, and at the same time, achieving our objective:

What if we do what Hajj M suggested, not on the blocks but on the Column points such that the weight of the roof does not actually lie on the SandCrete Blocks, but on the reinforced Columns which are designed to carry such weights, from the onset.
Excess iron (allowed deliberately during iron-size cutting for the columns) is then used to tie-down the Roof beams
Wherever the Columns do not fall at locations where Beams overlap or meet, we can then use Hajj method on the Block at that point but just in a "supporting capacity" to the ones done at the Columns!
Further-on, we can further reduce loads by ensuring that the filling of the blocks in Hajj's suggestion, doesn't go beyond the last two blocks levels, by blocking those holes, at that level, with the Cement Bags!

I kind-of think it is a good practice to block those Holes (prevent Rodents like Lizards, Cockroaches, rats, e.t.c) from finding a place to live or hide in the Block crevasses.

In summary (harmonising the different suggestions),
1) use Column-points ONLY to serve as "head course" anchor points for the Roof Beams (They can hold the weight conveniently)

2.) Add additional Head Course points, if necessary, using Sandcrete Block Holes filled to a limited depth (using Cement Bags to limit the depth) with Mortar and protruding 8mm iron or tie- rods.

3.) Block all "unused" Sandcrete Block holes with empty Cement Bags.

What do you guys think?
I have learnt something new from the two of you today. I will definitely implement these "options" in a few weeks time when a project l am doing (but abandoned due to time-factor), will get to that stage!

Thanks for your response.
