Gracias.

praise010:
Thank you sir.

Please this is the plan.

I need to have an idea to guide my plan on whether to start work now or not.

If you can estimate on the premise of a dry land.

Most grateful

Hello all,

Please I need a rough estimate of cost of building this 4 bed duex and 4 Nos of 2 bedroom from foundation to carcass without roofing.

Land is around Ojo, Lagos

Jasobry:
Great but if you can source for the wood from bakassi it will be better. Their trees are way older than ours. Mostly from cameroun.

Any idea if diamond estate is a reputable estate?

Focusmind:
Very correct. I wanted to ask the difference between a Welder and an Iron bender. My Structural Engineer goofed big time when I was building as I wasn't around when the building started up to decking level.

On local we stand

Some of the so called"turkey doors" are produced in Benin city.. eg Watson doors

oduncojamaica:
Thank you Sir
God bless you.

michlins:
some of the pictures here are from the internet you know. Let's see some finished products

smartnoni:
This also

michlins:
it's quite possible sir but it's going to be very expensive oh. Budget upwards of 80k

folmus:
I kuku ma see am.

Allsortng:
What can of structure can you build with 300sqm?

folmus:


That's good o.

Pls are you creating a separate thread for this
Or continue here ?

oduncojamaica:
Good evening family. Pls due to the price of 12mm my welder advise me to use 10mm for lintel work against 12mm.
Is this advisable

1. I agree with you on the quality of sharp sand available. I expected that you’d have seen my comment where I mentioned that the best sharp sand is washed sand (I also put it in bracket like I am doing here -gutter sand). Unwashed sand contains silt and/or clay that reduce the quality of the resulting product.
2. The above papers you cited never mentioned complete replacement of fine aggregate with stone (quarry) dust. They all mentioned partial replacements (also which I mentioned). But you said you used stone dust only for your own interlocking blocks. Remember I advised him to include stone dust but not to use only stone dust.
3. Partially replacing sand with stone dust will definitely improve the quality of your concrete/blocks. This is because the dust will fill up voids between the sand (fine aggregates) particles. The less voids you have, the stronger your concrete/block although it is not the only factor contributing to concrete strength.
I have read theses and journals that place the optimum proportion of partial replacement between 30% and 40%. There is the tipping point after which the strength begins to decline with an increase in stone dust proportion.

Here is my journal article on blocks:

Read my previous replies please. Remember, also, that The strength of concrete is a function of the strength of its constituents.

If I were in your shoes I would have another look at the installation. What is the size of the pipe going into the washing machine? The pipe should be 3/4 inches. This increases pressure at the last mile. Check to ensure this has not been modified to suit the Nigerian way of plumbing. A bigger pipe dimension will reduce pressure.

Another option is to run direct a dedicated pipe straight from the water tower with the right pipe dimension. The electricians do same for things like cooker or a/c.

I will not rush to booster option just yet as the home water pressure is ok. I would explore the installation option first before bringing out the bazooka.

Hello Chief,

I am interested in your conversation about water pressure and booster pumps as i am facing a related low-water pressure issue.

Recently i bought a fully automatic Hisense washing machine to be used at my place. After the installation at home ( to the water inlets) , we powered the machine and water wasnt going in. ( But the machine works pretty well if filled with water manually by pouring water into it).

The machine was returned to the dealership who also sent it to the service center for diagnosis and repairs, but later the machine was returned with an “OK” service status.

After several tests at my place we discovered that the water pressure from my tanks was too low to open the selenoid inlet valves which was amazing because the tanks are about 5 feet above the ground and are huge GP Tanks.

I had to test the machine again by connecting it directly to the 1.5HP submersive pump supplying water to the tanks, then the machine inlet valves were properly opened under that amount of pressure.

Right now i’m setting for installing water booster pump specifically for just the washing machine ( the house water supply works pretty fine and i dont want to go through the headache of raising the tanks higher, which i dont even think would be a sufficient fix )

Do have recommendations on where i can get the water booster pumps from either within Lagos or if it’s waybill-able and do you know of any plumber who can install it in such a way that it works perfectly with the washing machine with no alteration to the washing machine ( washing machine is still under 1 year warranty )?

Also considering that the washing machine only expects to take in water on few occasions during the operation cycle.

If you were in my shoes how would you DIY this?

Your Point is Noted Sir... Different stuff for different folks. Although I wouldn't recommend a wallpaper in the kitchen for my clients, i would prefer to explore better Options.



Please Note: The Kitchen usually has high Temperature due to the heated activities, Where Steam and Moisture do set in, & that's not good for a wallpaper.

Moisture or Steam could ruin your Wallpaper!!!

That's That ....
