these things are conceptual.

If you like it, incorporate it into your building. If engineer tell you "we don't do it like that", sack him and get the one that says "yes sir"

Upon inquiry, I was taken to a door importer in Onitsha, and these are the doors he has for sale. Doors made with treated wood. Costs about 35k with frames.

I was about to order 40 sets when he told me the doors are temporarily out of stock.
The design doesn't looks current in my eyes

You can, but it depends on the sizes of the rooms and other spaces and how many toilets, 2m can get you to a level just a bit below the lintel.

Hahaha, some times you have to listen to their professional advise too. You can’t just sack them anyhow like that. Those air vent, most time the architect already determined the best direction of winds to position the building for better cross ventilation that may not need such. Those are some of the reasons you pay architects premium fee to determine all those wahala for you, not only drawing the the house. I mean professional ooo, not those drafts men calling themselves architects .

@ InvertedHammer, Hmmm, I defer to EgunMogaji2 to respond, he is the crown prince of Ibadan, the car enthusiasts on nairaland.com, car guru, motorcycle, ship, airplane and space craft engineer and currently he is the chairman of private land developers in Nigeria headquartered in Abuja and offices all over Nigeria with 500 luxury properties owned by EgunMogaji2 cheesy

An astute question.

So this is my opinion and why I did not included attic vents in my build.

1) I’m the USA we have the following layers in most common roofing system

Plywood
Felt
Shingle

With these the roof is nearly 100% sealed.

2) In Nigeria our roofs are nowhere as sealed as in the USA. In fact I can see daylight in parts of my eaves here.

So I don’t think we need vents in Nigeria.

I’m not an expert and I didn’t spend the night at Holiday Inn grin

Hello,

How many tonnes is that bucket currently on it?
Is the engine capable of driving and tipping a larger bucket if upgraded?

Where is the location of this truck for inspection?

cc: @checkitaut any word on this? interest in sourcing a dump truck still remains, given the right numbers.
The bucket is 20 tons truck and perfectly working
It's available for inspection
Location: Akesan bus stop, Igando lagos

there's a difference between "let's do it like this" and "we don't do it like that"


They're way too different
