PropertiesRe: Can I Build A 5-bedroom House With Pillars But No Horizontal Beam ? by Mekenz(m): 5:28pm On Apr 18, 2021
capsogiga:
Thanks. My thoughts exactly. But engineer says lintel is different from horizontal beam ! He sent the picture below. In fact now I am confused. I can't afford to run horizontal beams on all ways, both internally and externally. To the engineer I have two options. 1. Columns + horizontal beams. 2. No columns, no horizontal beam since it is only a bungalow with parapet. Meanwhile, people are telling me I should not build a 5 bedroom house without pillars/ columns!
well what he says is right, but as a builder myself, since it's just a bungalow with a concrete facia , what you just need to do is run lintels at the external walls only, and you can as well put pillars at the four corners of the building only, because of the parapet. No need for other reinforcements. Your building will still stand strong.

NB: I'm saying all these considering your budget, but if wish you can go and put beams and pillars all over your building, no problems.

Is this horizontal beam same as lintel or head course ?
yeah lintel, is good you understand my point, to save cost, just run lintel at the external walls only, then only on doors areas internally.

How do I chain all the external walls together?
it means running horizontal beams on the top of all the external walls of the building only.
PropertiesRe: Can I Build A 5-bedroom House With Pillars But No Horizontal Beam ? by Mekenz(m): 2:13pm On Apr 18, 2021
It depends on your pocket and the nature of the soil, if it's a dry and level land, and you're not planning to do concrete facia (aka parapet) on the building,

the best you can just do, is to chain all the external walls together, you can use 10mm rod to save cost, then just put horizontal beams at doors areas internally, pillars at the four corners of the building is not necessary, since it's just a bungalow.
With these your building will still stand strong.

The guy should keep quiet already, he is no longer talking like a potus, he has lost focus, now throwing tantrums like a little brat.

There are somethings that a person of his calibre shouldn't be saying to the public.

Nigeria is not just a country where a youth would think the next step to take is to lead a lady to the alter. if you must settle down as a youth in this country, you need to be financially and materially bouyant. I usually gets dejected anytime I think about been single at my age, but what will I do, I can't kill myself na. I've been deserted twice by ladies who I promised marraige but couldn't wait any longer because of the delay. Graduated since 2016 and still living in my parent's house, recieves #15000 monthly from a private firm, tell me; considering the hyper inflation in our country today and the bizarre cost of living, can #15000 cater for a family for a month? absolutely no. I know we are in this messful country together, let's hope 9ja go better one day
mehn it's not easy ooo, 15k per month, hmmm e go better.

Kennysplash:
honestly I started when sports resumed during Covid19. That's six months ago. I never looked at betting twice before but the condition of things made me venture into it. I was so broke
I guess right, you're a newbie into the system, that's why your situations is like that.

one thing we need to understand is this, betting is not for the broke, you hardly win a bet, when you're so desperate about it. since you're still a newbie into the system, you can quit now, before it becomes part of you.

since what prompted you into it is sheer greediness to make it, you can call it a quit now, or seek for someone that will be sharing games to you, desist from playing your own games for now.

Betting is delusional. I just checked my bank statement and I couldn't believe how much I've transferred to Beaufort and co in 3 months, minimum of 500. I mean if I have that money with me now my life would be far better. I'm one of the 99% that is making the bookies and the lucky 1% rich. Before when I did not bet I do my daily tasks willingly without worries. Now I will just check livescores and my mood will ruin for the whole day. It's like my life is devoid of excitement. I see the story of vector360 and moojy and I was like "it will soon be my turn". But the opposite is true for me, I've never won 10k at once but I've lost almost 6 figures. Those that quit pls how did you do it? I need to get rid of this shit before it gets rid of me....I just need advice.
if I may ask you, which year did you start betting, what prompted you into it?

I can recall during the election four years ago, by these time, Clinton is winning before been overthrown by trump at late hours of the election, trump early winning now says a lot, he will be re-elected for sure.
