Nairaland General › Re: Have U Ever Slept With Someone You Are Not Supposed To by Meteng: 1:02pm On Feb 13 |
Years ago, I was staying with my cousin. I came back late one night to realize that he had brought his girlfriend together with her friend to stay the night. There was no power, I didn’t see who or even what I carried to my room. It was the following morning that I realize that my cousin’s girlfriend friend was nothing to write home about. It was too late. I had already knacked severally that night |

Properties › Re: Is It Worth Renovating Your Village Home In Nigeria? by Meteng: 8:25am On Feb 10 |
Midex88: This is true and it has solid explanations in building science, materials behavior, and maintenance dynamics. houses are designed to be lived in. When they aren’t, small protective processes stop, and deterioration accelerates.
Here’s why
1. Moisture is no longer controlled Humans unintentionally manage moisture in a house.
When a house is occupied: • Heating and cooking dry the air • Windows get opened occasionally • Bathrooms and kitchens get used (and ventilated) • Small leaks are noticed early
When a house is empty: • Humidity builds up • Condensation forms on walls, ceilings, and pipes • Mould, mildew, and rot start developing • Wood swells, warps, or decays • Metal parts corrode
Moisture is the number one enemy of buildings.
2. Temperature swings stress materials because Occupied homes have relatively stable temperatures.
Empty homes: • Get very cold at night and very hot during the day • Experience repeated expansion and contraction
This causes: • Cracks in walls and ceilings • Tile grout failure • Paint peeling • Sealants drying and splitting
Over time, these micro-failures add up.
3. Plumbing systems degrade when unused as Water systems are meant to move.
When water sits: • Sediment settles in pipes • Seals dry out • Traps evaporate, letting sewer gases in • Rubber components harden and crack
You often don’t notice until water is turned back on—and then leaks appear everywhere.
4. Electrical and mechanical systems stagnate
Unused systems fail faster than lightly used ones.
Examples: • Contacts corrode • Circuit breakers stiffen • Fans seize • Pumps fail due to inactivity
Regular use actually keeps these systems healthy.
5. Pests take over Humans deter pests just by being present.
An empty house: • Attracts rodents, termites, ants, and insects • Becomes nesting ground for birds or bats • Suffers unseen damage to wiring, insulation, and wood
Once pests settle, damage accelerates rapidly.
6. Small problems go unnoticed and become big ones This is critical.
In an occupied house: • A small leak is fixed • A crack is sealed • A blocked drain is cleared
In an empty house: • A minor issue can run for months • Water damage spreads • Structural elements weaken Buildings don’t usually “collapse suddenly”—they decay quietly.
7. Houses are systems, not static objects A house is like a living system: • It “breathes” • It responds to use • It relies on feedback (human attention). Remove the feedback loop, and entropy takes over.
This is why people say: “A house that isn’t lived in starts to die.” It’s not mystical—it’s physics, chemistry, biology, and neglect combined.
In summary
A house deteriorates when empty because: • Moisture accumulates • Temperature fluctuates • Systems dry out or corrode • Pests invade • Minor issues become major damage
Human presence acts as maintenance. Thank you for this. It really made sense to me |
