Good day All and trust your day is progressing well.

Please what can one add to a soakway to douse the odor emanating from it? the soakaway is not full just to make it clear but the odor comes out from the vent ontop of the soakaway.

I am wondering if there are chemicals or freshners that can be placed in the soakaway or vent to douse the order?

We learn everyday and the knowledge shared will be beneficial to the society.

U trap is what you need to insert. I'll share a picture later in the evening. It's something similar to what happens at WC where odour can't pass through the water.

Edit: ignore. On re-reading it's clear the odour is outside and not inside the building. The solution I proposed is for indoor odour.
Raise the pipe very high as suggested. Methane and other constituents is lighter than air and would not come down when released at a higher height.

I have 104” width by 60” depth space for my master bathroom. I ended with this small space because I carved out my safe room from it which is a ridiculous 12’ x 12’.

Do you think I can fit both a standing shower and a bath or I should just go for a shower alone. I doubt they have bathtubs in 5’ length.

You’d be fine with just one.

Meanwhile, shower enclosure is the in-thing now.

Actually you might quote so for “fit in burglary”
If it’s kind of “covered burglary” this type of burglary do extends beyond the wall opening size i.e if your window opening is 1200*1200 then the burglary will be 1300*1300 size. ( This design is very common is eastern part bcs of the size of block they used mostly there (6” block) it doesn’t accommodated burglary and window in Most cases.

We are saying the same thing. Even if it is 2500mm x 2500mm, the exact measurements of the build should be defined.
"This is how it is done" is not an excuse. Unit of measurement is not an assumption.
Everyone building a house does not know "how it is done". They go with the S.I units of measurement which is a globally acceptable standard. But then, we learn as we go. If the quotation is for 4ft frame, just build and deliver 4ft frame. No ifs and buts. If there is any reason(s) why it will be less or more than the size, let the owner know before...and not after the build.

Michlins shouldn't take these things as personal attacks. It will rather help him get better at his quotations and estimates. Even the best corporations in the world have a litany of complaints against them.

I agreed with that, because if you deduct 1800mm by 800mm for bathtub, the remaining space area can only managed to have WC and basin, with less circulation within those fixtures

Talking about unhappy client .... last week I paid a company to change my EK floor in the sittingroom...I paid for total change...
Well I was surprised to see a new floor but entrance threshold and linings or skating whatever it's called remained the old one... see picture below....

I called to ask why if they are coming back the next day to finish....they said threshold and linings weren't that bad and required no changes ...I said they are bad in my eyes and didn't I pay for floor change??

I asked questions were they part of floor change or not...they said well....maybe or maybe not..

A day of fronts and backs to understand what went wrong..I said I won't pay and will create 20 fake emails and give them 1 star ratings on google if not fixed within a day...hahaha
They show 6:50am yesterday to change it polished even the white siding(not part of the agreement).They blamed the misunderstanding on a new staff...but we shook hands at the end of the day..

There’s a separate space for the WC and basin.

Let me draw something up to clarify.

bath and shower can not fit in to where it was placed, because bathtub is 6 ft, minimum shower dimension is 3ft, the wall within the two fixtures is 6inches totally 9ft 6"

But what's the symbol at that LHS is that sliding door or window, to know if that toilet layout can be rearranged

at first I got angry and that's how I lashed out at her but then she's still my customer who gave me her hard earned money. That's what some family members won't do for you.

And all these are opening me up to improved ways people do things. I might say am still running business the way I learnt from my boss.

Will this type of thing happen to me again where I assume the customer knows what he or she wants, absolutely not

Since the building has already finishes stage, it won't be economical to start removing doors or window, or breaking much walls,

I can just advice if it's possible to remove that partitioning wall between the two fixtures and make it shower glass, it will accommodate the two, but your shower will now be 850mm not 900mm, in breadth, make the length to be 1meter for comfortability

Oga how do i tamper justice with mercy and leave forever to regret it . This is rental apartment of 4flat and i need a total of 6irons doors but due to money palaver ,i ordered 5pieces from him . And all doors is same toilet size . What do i do with the doors . Inconvenient myself all through the life stage of the house or buy new doors ? And do what with this under size doors ?
Pls madam no vex too much. If I am the one I will vex well well o, esp if it's for my personal abode. Since it's for rental purpose pls manage, although I don't know how small the door actually is. But pls madam, pardon. This place is really a classroom we are learning everyday, either the soft way or the hard way.
I'm not a professional on doors, the professionals should guide you if the door size is usable as claimed by michlins.

I don't about wooden doors but right now with the sizes of iron reducing daily with 12mm looking like 10mm, 3" pipes now 2.8", you can't make exactly 3ft doors without joining. Ask any welder around you. Rails, windows, standing tank and others are the jobs you can determine the sizes. Even H beans that used to be 40ft are now 37ft 10". You take it to site and you're scrutinized as if you are the one who cut off the rest. 18ft pipes are barely 17ft 6" now. I don't make these things, I just buy them just like everyone else

12 by 12 planks are now 9" and they're still called 12". T

Yard of cloth is now 34".

If you look at the the space where basin is located is about 4’-5” and the size of bath width is only 2Ft and little inch means there is space of 2ft plus on that area.
Also the length of the bath is about 5ft-8” or so means the bath will not reached the blue point area.
With this there will be enough space to move to the basin area without issues.

But let’s still wait and see the real outcome measurement from the OP.
