dapotemi: Pros:- No odour No need for evacuation Small space The cons:- Inorganic materials like nylon, pads and condoms shouldn't be flushed into the bio digester. Bleach and detergent shouldn't be used to wash the WC. 2 Likes 1 Share |

gbadexy: I won't contest this though but try run a google search on "red wall paint" and see what comes up. The same wall with a different paint looks great in other rooms except in areas where there are red whether with a screed or not. I have a red accent kitchen but I toned it down with some nice tiles that you'd never feel like you're in a RED room. I'd only use red to accent a wall. Do you mind showing me picture of a great all-red room? I want to learn. ________ Pic 1 - Boring Red Kitchen Wall Pic 2 - Red Kitchenette, Chateau De Brabus, 2013

MrOkenwa: It is called pergola. It can be made of wood, aluminum, fiber, PVC, engineering plastic etc. It's usually not a structural membrane, just for aesthetic so can be installed during painting and decoration. 2 Likes

Red as a colour does not perform very well whether indoor or outdoor. It reveals imperfections. It fades faster than any other colour in extreme conditions. It only do well on 3D models and when you're using cladding instead of a paint.

n3xt:Chief, even the cladding color would fade later if it is bright shade. Very bright colors are ideal for internal only as the colourants are synthesized and fades under sunlight. Perhaps red is more notorious than other shades in reflecting background, we learn everyday. I will take special note. |

gbadexy: gbadexy: Thank for sharing sir. Points well noted. So where exactly is RED good in a house? If 1 it fades under sunlights and 2 is more notorious in reflecting background. ______ Before I share stuffs like this, I've done my research and findings I can tell you that shade of RED always bring drama when not used in right mix and proportion in a house. Anyone with a great red house (from any part of the world) apart from Guru Marhaji village in Ibadan should please share with us. |

Bakin3: Bio Digester has two major flaws which make it not ideal in certain situations: #1. Bleach and detergent shouldn't be used to wash the WC. All major WC cleaning products contain bleach or detergents. Another product is baby wipes. Increasingly, families are using baby wipes as even substitutes for tissue paper. Baby wipes contain plastics which adversely affect the efficiency of Bio Digester. A number of Bio Digesters either fail as a result or need constant and sometimes expensive maintenance. Over time the cost efficiency will be lost. #2. Bio Digesters are sceptic tanks. That is, for optimum efficiency ONLY toilet waste should go into Bio Digester and wastewater from bath and kitchen should go to public drains. In a situation where the site has no public drain (gutter) and wastewater is channelled into the Bio Digester, it will struggle to cope with intense usage from a commercial building of for example 4 - 6 flats design. If one has impermeable soil like red laterite, the Bio Digester will fail in no time. So Bio Digester is only very efficient in very specific situations. You may want to educate us more on the above. 3 Likes |

diordaves: I guess you're speaking for you. Well, there's no credible source to back up your claim so I'd take it as a beer parlour gist. Please take good time to read up what credible research organizations (worldwide) have to say about biodigester and biogas solution and stop.... _____ You're talking ordinary 4-6 flats where a church that has over 1,000 members is using the solution. I don't know if the 4 flats you talk about has more occupants that the number of customers visiting GTBank Chevron, Lagos. Not knowing is not a problem. Not knowing that you don't know is the actual issue here. In Nigeria, there's always a problem for every solution. ~ Brabus This is one of it! ______ Read up from credible source: The Power of Dung Lessons Learned from On Farm Biodigester https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/468451557843529960/pdf/The-Power-of-Dung-Lessons-Learned-from-On-Farm-Biodigester-Programs-in-Africa.pdf Bio-toilets - Sustainable Solution to India’s Sanitation Challenge https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/partnership/?p=2618 Reinvent the Toilet Fair India 2014 (varieties of alternative solutions) https://docs.gatesfoundation.org/documents/Reinvent%20the%20Toilet%20Fair%20India%202014%20Technical%20Guide.pdf 1 Like 1 Share

n3xt:I haven't seen many red colored building to confirm but you may have a point because off-white color too usually have low opacity as compared to other similar colors and things like the wavelength on their color spectrum could account for those occurrence. I didn't say only bright red colors fade outside under sunlight but generally all bright colors that synthesized pigments are used. Any good satin with sheen would highlight imperfections on the wall under light. That's the reason screeding was done in the first place, to give level surface under reflection. |
