Terrible conduct! absolutely embarassing!

What's your most traumatising experience?

What's that experience that still gives you shivers whenever you think about?

why not YOUR BEST AND HAPPIEST MOMENT! i'm allegic to negativity! open the damn door
and let me got out!

If you are passionate about Nairaland why can't you give it your best shot?, implementing other ideas is not a bad idea, but you will surely need TRUSTED HANDS!

is anyone see what am seeing? this is an opportunity for anybody care about that to invest in agriculture.

@Comments,, When The Late Former President Umar Musa Yar`adua Helped Some bastards In Niger Delta Where were You Idiots What Did Anyone say ? I`m sure they were Killing Animals Not Humans,, Y`all Forgot How many Times CNN Keeps Discussing About Jomo Gbomo ?? Now All Thanks To Yar`adua same idiots have full amnesty after killing Innocent People while claiming to be fighting For the Niger Deltans Tell me Why they deserve Amnesty ? Now its The Boko Haram`s Turn You Are All Here Saying Rubbish, Let them Have The Amnesty, Its better than Doing Nothing Or sending those Bastard Zombies To Horrify Citizens Of Borno While pretending to be Doing Good Work, I Support The Senates Because They All Know what They are Doing, Working Something Out With The Islamist Groups Would Probably Be The Best Solution To This Attacks !!!!, Me Neva See Mend`s Main Reason To Killing Innocent Lives and its the same with Boko Haram But Their Leader Was Killed And No One Said Anything !!!!!  God Help Us

And you really think that this your comment is an antidote for the menace? can you rally trust the BH even after being given the so called amnesty? does that[ammnesty] justifies their claim and the true meaning of BH? i can see we don't know what we are asking for ourselves!

@ Brabus,
Weldone! i'm following you with keen interest.I beleive we work something out soonest

pls can smbody help me with the current price of cement in Lagos and its envions?
@ brabus, pls what is the requirement for the building plan? i need one ooo!

@ Brabus
you are very correct!there some bungalow that can cost as building a duplex.

@ topic >>> good for her

Not for Nigeria?

^^^Thanks for your response. My client is looking at building a bungalow on top and renting out the 1 bed flat in the basement.

The N1m is meant for slab and corrections alone. As for the sinking and tilting problem, I'm sure there's a workaround since he had not done the basement slab. Major concern are the load bearing columns.

Ok! my observations:it was not the erosion that fundamentally caused the sinking,it might be contributing to it but the main problem was that the foundation excavation was not not dugged
to the appropriate stabilised level,so to incorporate load bearing columns you may need to break pass the foundation blinding in order to get to more stable ground.
i am no expert ooo! Meanwhile, hope we are not derailing the thread?

Problem in need solution.

1. Building site has a slope to it.
2. Basement Foundation is sinking and tilting.
3. Main floor concrete slab to site on the existing basement
4. Client's budget - under N1m
5. Deadline for completion to move in is 2 months.

Reference post #304 on page 10 for background information. See the pics of the site below.

Our plan is to:

1. Raise the floor above ground level
2. Dig new columns along non-bearing wall to support the main floor slab
3. Excavate some areas not too close to the building to prevent flooding
4. Protect excavated slope from erosion or surface runoff.
5. Increase the livable area without demolishing the existing structure.

Experts in the house - let's do it together. Suggestions, contributions and advice will be highly appreciated.

I'll try provide a rough sketch of the existing structure later today when I gain time.

@ Brabus,
I think we have to know the intentions of your client with regards to the building he\she want to build,
is it a bungalow or duplex?, was the N1m cost meant for the correction alone? sure, there was wrong expert judgements made at the foundation level.Your suggested solutions are superb, but also there is important thing to note based on problem #2.

Nice works! never knew building can be made simplified,that your labour cost is a plus,
weldone! this is really an online classroom!

@ Brabus,
Judging from what i saw in a picture where you took sand samples,
you may need to go for pilling foundation,but your soil tests will clarify
the details.That terrain looks like a riverine.

If it was a CBN directive,definately it's going to affect all the remaining banks!
pls any vital information with regards to GTB concerning this Sanusi nonsense?

prophesy ke! check the front pages of today's Businessday,Tribune,Sun,Vanguard, Compass, Champion.
I will start building next month. Builders in the house, here i come

Confirmed! N1350 from factories!

happy for all peeps who desire to build their own houses. Dangote has crashed cement price to 1350 for Obajana and Gboko. I am hearing 1500 for Lagos and PH.
The news will break on Monday. With the money builders will pay me to stop rain, i will hire spyder and brabus to build me a nice mansion for rain making

is this information real? pls let somebody confirm it!

Weldone bros! kudos to you!i was surprised when i saw your block type not being a normal hollow type that
we are used to in Lagos environment,it's exactly the type we use in Ghana here but never saw it in Nigeria before!

You can be in LUST an not LOVED,
You can get INFATUATED and not LOVED,but
YOu can't be in LOVE without the first two.

LUST    -            Attraction, to be drawn away\carried away

INFATUATION-  Emotional,thinking about\dreaming about\cannot sleep

LOVE-               It is not all about me, it's all about her\him, sacrificial

Note, we normally view lust and infatuation as a negative phenomenons, but if it's leading to the right thing
it can be sustained,now am married and whenever i sight my wife legs most especially from the hips,oh my gosh! what can you  call that? most church's choirs were been attracted to brothers by their voices, but they wouldn't tell you that!

@ OP: fame and fortune always tests your ethical values and moral. You become exposed to many things

Your username suggest that you too may fall! or you are falling already, just kidding!

It is not every great men that is applicable to,it is only a little % of them,even at that great men are also men, they have blood running in their veins and men are stronger than one another.
it is only those ones that are conscious of their weakness will be able to stand against the temptation. One thing i want us to understand is that seduction too is real like HIV AIDS,i know a guy that whenever he sees breast nipples showing from a lady's outfits he will start to loose control!.

pls how do you suggest that i clean my laptop screen -pavilion dv6 hp

before i make my comment,how many people are ACN Lagos deligate here?

nice thread! i'd been following it from page 1,but i don't buy into your idea of waiting for the delivery of materials to the site before comencing the foundation excavation. It can be partially accepted if you are rest assured that you can achieve the excavation and casting in a day,which i think is largely determined by the size of your labour force or their efficiency.

'if you have enough cash that can finance your building project go ahead an do,but if not pls take heed to Lawyer's advice, it's the best!

Those were all grown men. They just look like 12 year old boys because they suffer from inadequate testosterone

@ Mariory,
 you need to take a look at that picture again!

I don't believi it's boko haram until they claim it's responsibility!
Nigeria is toying with danger!

Your fiancee is using her football age.so kini big deal

You all just get ready to console some broken hearted gal this week on NL

very funny!

When you ask people what is the most important quality that two lovers married or about to marry
must have,without thinking twice everyone will say love,love,love!.The test of love comes @ different
time in various relationships,to sm people it comes early, and to some it may be later.I beleive this is the poster's time of test! You are angry? yes, you have the right to do so, who wouldn't?. I don't want to paint the picture of NO BIG THING! to you,but it is a big thing only if you make it one.I beleive that for you to have done the introduction with her you have examined and considered her to be a wife material,
what if your fiancee is pregnant and one angel came to tell you it is from the Holy Spirit? i beleive it not that complex as that.This is a decision is basically yours,if you know that you are not comfortable now and you will not be comfortable in future, don't go ahead. But you can also forgive and build around those beautiful qualities of her that always turn you on every now and then,i know couple that had pass
through the same thing even worse than yours because the lady was some months older,yet they live happy with each other with a child now. hmmm! There are many rivers to cross in life, but we don't know the one that has snakes,crocodiles or even dragons!

@ Da Doctor God bless you! pls tell them more! some of them that  want to be like BEYONCE and RIHANNA needs to jump into the plane and and find their way to Yankee. What surprised me most
is that when you talk like this some dudes will be thinking that you have a prejudise against female folks,
education has done a lot of impact on the issue of giving women equal right,and i want to beleive
that is the reason women were emerged as the Speakers in some states house of Assemblies{if is
not politicts}but on a larger scale, there is still some moral and cultural values that African men is holding.
My question is this, why can't the eligible lady folks study the behaviour of men in her habitat?
