For the purlin, 320mm is normally required for the spacing (centre to centre) of the purlin. For the rafter, 1200mm spacing should be adequate. The valley and gutter depends on the wood carcass. The overall dimension of 1 stone coated roofing sheet is 1340mm x 420mm.


Yes that's the standard.. but..

From MY experience, when doing stone coated roof woodwork, it's better to do a 1000mm spacing or even 800mm depending on the thickness of your 2x4 wood.

It will save the roof from caving in due to heavy load.

Please I find the sitting room of the 1bedroom apartment too big, I intend to run a new wall as depicted by the red line to expand the sitting room of the 2bedroom.

This extension is 600mm My question is, is this safe as per long term basis to run this new wall on the German Floor(3inches thick)?

My foundation was done based on the drawing. Pls note, this is a bungalow with no parapet, just flat roof

Thanks

Unless the laterite filling were machine-compacted to achieve very minimal voids, I wouldn't advice this since the bedding soil is not an undisturbed sample.

Go ahead with what you have and made foundation for.

Good afternoon madam.
The issue with the lounge of the 2bedroom flat is not of space allocation but function.
The one for the 1bedroom is more functional than the other.
Even if you shift the wall further it has no impact on the function I suggest you mirror the visitors toilet and the entrance door to the right side so you can have a better function as regards to circulation and furniture arrangement within that space.

LG have nothing to do with building say this to them but give them 1-5k as they will set building control on you if you do not give them anything.

If I am not in the mood or different set keep coming I just say my lawyer says to take their photo and they leave very quickly.

All of them ie omonile, LG and building Control know each other.
I have similar experience last year on my site, the crazy guy drop a letter for my Engineer requesting 400k from me. When he came back he runs out of luck he meets me on site. I call the treasurer of the local government, which happened to be a friend, the guy ran away. They later send States safety control to the site. The safety agency came to acess safety compliance and served me violation of 280k which I pay to the coffin of Lagos states safety control account. After confirming payment they issued and place safety sings and PPE requirements for the worker on site valid for one year.

This is what I did.

Why am I not comfortable with all these toilets opening directly into the living room? Is something wrong with me?

What if the visitor is doing number two loudly, what will happen to occupants in the living room? What if the number two is very smelly, will opening the door after operation not assail the sensibility of the occupants of the living room? Will female visitors be comfortable going into that toilet and coming out to the full glare of male occupants of the living room?

Why should a toilet open directly into a living room? I don't know why I don't get it as it seems to be a popular choice.

Since the only load the wall will be carrying is the roof and no lintel beam, I will recommend you continue with what you plan to do, it is safe.
#Ps even if you plan to use parapet, it would only be on the outer walls, but this is just a partition wall, just saying.

Am not also comfortable with the toilet opening directly into living room, it should be accessed from the balcony, you need not know when someone is about to use the toilet, there should be some level of privacy, even in beer parlors, toilets often have some level of privacy

Thanks, this was the initial design, I told the architect that I wanted access through the kitchen terrace into the house without those in the living room knowing.

Imagine, visitors in the living room and you just came from the market, you will move all items in their full glare or you want to dodge out of the house through the back etc

No design is foolproof and ultimately will result in compromises.

A VT in a compact space like mine is designed specifically for #1. I don’t remember when I’ve done #2 in someone else’s house.

I’m comfortable with my design. Nothing is more ghetto than to see a toilet opening to the balcony. Us humans with our individual peculiarities.

PS: I was flogged before for daring to give renters a visitors toilet. Those undeserving rental cretins, we’re spoiling them grin
