The engineer now came to your site and told u that he has never seen where they fix sliding window's net outside. The sunday U called me, where U not yelling and saying , u will ask on NL if nets are fixed outside and I told u to go ahead, which you found out and the next U called to ask if I will want more money and I said no because u earlier said U will never add any dine..

I've worked for several people here and I'm grateful to God, I don't have any issues with them even the recent jobs I installed, we still talk like brothers because I'm kind of humble to every customers. God sees everything and I'm proud I have people that can testify to everything.

Mr Mavverick, I'm not available for your job at the moment, you can get someone to fix the 2net that remains, when I came to round up Ur job despite I told u I'm coming there to finish your works that you should try and fix all your burglary due to the pressure you mounted, I was rounding up and I called u to please get the burglary ready , U didn't reply despite U read my text on whatsapp and didn't reply until 2weeks after and U said your welder ran away and U want to arrest him for reasons I don't know, but bros you have my balance, get someone else to fix the remaining 2net, I have one of the net there at your site, . As for the work you said was badly done, can u please upload the whole pic of your site . I leave U in God's hands and let God judge between you and I . As for the money you said U want to add, but Before now , u said never will U add up any money and U called me yesterday to ask me if I needed any money and I said, No because my humility doesn't mean I'm stupid.i continued your job despite you reduced the price we both agreed on between the job. I'm currently working on a client's work and it will take a lot of time to be completed. Thanks

I'm out of town now. I'll show you the serous earthworks ongoing in the area I suspected the bridge will pass to LBS.

People in BADORE/Oke-Ira side of Ajah should be aware of this by now. Theres actually unmotorable road from BADORE/Remnek/Oke-Ira to link Abraham Adesanya on motorbike instead of coming through Addo/Ajah road.

This is the kind of thing I enjoy taking an helicopter ride to see.

I've seen the road but have not plied it. But I know I'm seeing buildings around LBS though I'm yet to confirm which one it is.

If you check the master plan if the road network you'll see the bridge is coming out after Abraham Adesanya roadabout. Exactly position yet unknown.

Someone asked me yesternight "Where will the 4th Mainland bridge pass?" "Which part of Ajah/BADORE will be affected?"

Here's my thought:

For minimal damage and prevention of economic loss, I foresee the 4th mainland bridge coming from somewhere between PAN African University and Happyland Estate or nearby location about 1km to either sides, passing through the undeveloped lands and govt lands around the area, avoiding Cooperative Villas, cutting through BADORE road between Folarin bus stop - Greenville estate or nearby about 500m to either sides and landing at langbasa and then over the lagoon to Ikorodu.

Anyone with a property around this areas should go and confirm with the local planning authority early enough the area for the proposed realignment early enough in order to avoid the story that touch.


Just my thought though. My hunch is never wrong and ongoing activities with that area and especially BADORE to somewhere between PAN African university and Splash Bar further confirms the truth.

Things to check for:

- Government excisions around the areas mentioned above
- Areas where govt refuses to give approvals, consent and CofO
- A large parcel of undeveloped govt land around you which was clearly avoided by the land urchins (Omo Onile)
- Areas with slow growth and development despite being at a prime area.
- Too good to be true land transactions.

Happy Building!

Swamp is challenging.here is a foundation I did on a swampy ground in the Niger Delta. I have left it now to see what goes on in the surroundings

agarawu23:
Even if I dey sleep on top money like Oga mufu as accused by oko afusa, I cant buy swampy or any land that's romancing water. when they know swear for me say I must buy land in that particular area.

Brabus, I hail the owner of that project.

baba, do the fittings first, plaster the holes left by the sides of the fittings.
buy paper tape and tape the fittings before painting.

mavverick:
Hello Bosun Davies Shoyoye / Nexthome / Brabus / N3xt etc

Can you kindly pay the money for this week, as there is still a balance of N200,000 outstanding.

Thank you.

agarawu23:
thats why i will go with baba mufu who grammar and certificate epp? EXPERIENCE AND DAILY PRACTICE is the key to hand work not only what u read or learn. physical practical is the main deal in construction.

there is one man called "jamajama" in an area i live then, you dont need a plan before he will give u what u want. just describe how u want it on the day of construction and this man will give u the best with his tape rule and IQ. he is a bloody illiterate.

Wow, 150 units , that is a lot, Good skills you got there that will always be useful to you anywhere you go, my other problem with the system in Nigeria is that despite the different bodies in charge of regulating various professional organisations (Engineering inclusive), it seems enforcement & prosecution is our major problem because every tom, di..ck and harry is now parading themselves as professionals in various fields and thereby endangering the lives of people when things go wrong this is my opinion though, (l may be wrong).

Thanks Mavverick for putting my article forward to enlighten people.

Qc1:
Every time you guys tell him to visit the site what does he do? He stays away and try to point to an old post that he suggested a solution!

He claimed he was there last year to look at the progress of the house when I was about to roof it? Yes he was there but he started complaining the house should have been filled with sharp sand instead of the red filling sand, he then bla bla bla on how the red sand is no good and wrong for the site. That was where my wife got angry and asked him "If you know this, then why did you use the red sand?" and "where you not aware of this info when you where filling it with this sand?" With those questions my wife just felt disgusted with him and doesn't want to be around him anymore.

You see people all he does is throw solutions from his own mess from far distance. Just because my wife asked him those questions he ran away and never came back. I was going to let him roof the house then he refused to show up and sent a carpenter to do the roof wood work. Even though I paid him he ended up not showing up at all and the carpenter started messing up. I had to stop the carpenter and take down all he did and started afresh from the beginning again after translated the drawing in the plan to him.

After 10 days or so the carpenter refused to go further because he needed some money for his family to eat and his fellow trades men on site. Bosun still refused to show up. He and the carpenter had a fight on money issues. I had no choice but to come out of the pocket to pay the poor man. That was when my wife and I discovered that he charged me about N50,000 extra on the carpenter alone yet he refused to show up not even once. I just got tired of the drama and decided to Tower company office for the roofing in Oba AKran Ikeja, It was from there they sent out their employee to roof the house.


Bosun is a ghost that like to take your money and throw advise on the interment for his own mess.


How does a man that refused to show up would help?

agarawu23:
what about the millions spent on foundation ? Which account I go write am ?

Poor man like us no dey pass out boundary. Road is very important when buying land.

@ mavverick, 6m spacing is too much. If
You keep it at 4m, you'll have between 15 - 18 points.

Why not excavate the vegetable soil and replace it with good bearing soil. The advantages of these design outweighs its disadvantages. Not only have you been able to adequately secure your perimeters, you have actually been able to deal with water issue by 30% by reducing what gets to your foundation.

This is a standard recommendation for terrains with weak soil. Pile is only recommended where there are no other option.

I can't remember the ID of the Nairalander who excavated almost 4m vegetable soil, replaced with soils with good bearing capacity from his land in Chevron to raise a 3 floor structure.

abdulwastecx:
There is already a misconception about raft foundation here. Raft foundation don't support line load/wall land, such type of foundation is called beam on grade foundation. This grade on beam foundation is a continuous reinforced concrete members use to support load with minimal bending ( wall loads).

This beam on grade foundation can either be supported by soil beneath if the soil have adequate properties or pilliing in areas with poor soil ( water lodged soil).

Responding to this article, it is more expensive to construct pile foundation or more appropriately '' pier and beam foundation or post and beam foundation) than reinforced wide strip footing or ordinary beam on grade foundation because you will need this pier to be spaced closer to each other and you will need to connect them with grade beam of adequate depth and reinforcement. in practice, this method is an advanced form of beam on grade foundation.

The choice of any of these type of foundation depends on the type of structure and soil conditions. In expansive soil where there is a distinct wet season ( the soil behave like water lodged) or dry season when the soil is normal, a wide strip can be use to carry a fence wall of up to 4m ( a minimum line land of less than 15kN/m) provided the water is kept away from the foundation.
A grade on beam supported by the soil below can also be use while the most expensive and structurally sound option is to use grade beam supported on pier or pilling
