1) Please document as much as possible for those of us that might follow your footsteps.

2) If relatively near Ibadan. I can possibly donate time and tools.

Good luck.

Thank you boss...

It's meant to be a fun bonding project for me and my significant other.

I would be doing a lot of documentation, pictures and videos and posting on several social media platforms.

The project is to be carried out in PHC and most of the tools will be automatic.

Thanks for your offer boss.... Wish you were close by

Mental Health Issues

Yesterday, my supervisor came to inform me that Peter (a very committed construction worker) started speaking incoherently and we may need to stop him from work.

Peter, a Pastor according to friends, was fully kitted in our health and safety kits but this kit wasn’t enough to protect him from anxiety and depression he’s facing as a result of stigmatization. So he decided to do drugs instead of talking to people again about his challenges.

Most health and safety policies in our companies focus on physical wellbeing of workers instead of becoming an open-book on addressing the mental health issues.

Creating enabling environment where every worker feel confident that the way they feel is okay and you're going to be supportive, not judgemental would help manage more mental health issues in our societies than spending heavily to protect their body while leaving their minds unguarded.

____

I’m not there to diagnose mental health issues. I’m there to quickly detect events of stressful life on my sites and counsel the person involved on the next steps to take.

I’d meet Peter later today.

I love your uniqueness in approaching situations and the healthiness you are creating in built environment. I pray that the "black" in Nigerians don't make one regret doing good.

Back in the days people dont screed their houses but this days it's like norm. What really changed? Am planning on screeding my on going project though, maybe because everyone else is talking about it or doing it.

Again, what will happen if dont screed

BrickDevo:

This would be wonderful, price aspect i can't really say, mostly used to concrete and cement buildings, can't really say but 500k will go a long way, i did read about wood building designs perhaps you need the designs chat me up.

Yeah, I'm sure 500 will go a long way to get the structure up. I've been researching for a while in order to know what to get and also the prices of wood and tools.

jabberjawz:



Oga next & other pros in d house, abeg I have one quick and curious question for you....can one use 12mm rod instead of using 16mm rods for the top floor of a 4 bedroom duplex?....I mean for setting the block work of top floor after decking?

Looking forward to your feedback.

If that is the last floor, yes.

I saw this Omoluabi music video on @mrmacaroni1’s IG page. I am dedicating these lyrics to all the hardworking men on here:

Shout out to the ones wey dey run things
Behind the scenes dem no dey see you
You dey work, you dey try, you dey make sure say everything go dey okay
Tuale we dey hail you, we say Oluwa no go shame you

O se rere la fi n pon e le o - You have done well, that is why we are praising you
Omuluabi se rere o tun . . . . . . (don’t know the words here )
You are doing well o, my brother

Eku ise, o se daadaa, o se daadaa. Omuluabi se daadaa - Well done, you did good
Mo lo se daadaa, o se daadaa - I say you have done well

I think the black cement resist weather more than the base coat in my opinion. Maybe more experts can air their views.

A similar statement made was some years back by Brabus, I remembered he saying that it boils down to the quality of workmanship of the plasterers.. even brabus now screeds his buildings... I think screeding has come to stay

I used stone dust to plaster my walls and used black cement to screed the interior

Your neighbors will think you’re poor.

Screeding is done to give a smooth and soft layer on a plaster surface and it can be further sandpapered to give a smooth finish that regular cement plaster can't give.
If you don't screed, nothing would happen as long as you aren't using paint with sheen but if you use correct matte with low sheen or silk and you don't screed or at least prime it to smoothen the surface, the reflection of light on the wall surface would highlight the roughness and other faults on the surface.

Selling what is left of the gerard sheets I used in roofing my house. Authentic roofing new zealand. Shingle design, About 20 squre meters left.

Selling at 3k per squre meters. I also have some badge board and facial board left too.

I will just join the crowd and do like they do despite i dont even know the difference, i didnt screed my rental property yet it looks very good in my eyes.

Maybe telling your workers you do not intend screeding the house even if you intend to will make them give you a good plaster job. I plan doing this.

Boss can screeding treat crack on the wall?

Buying what we don’t need to impress the people we don’t like.

and maybe additional incentives to the workers, I think @n3xt should share his input on the best way to get the best out of plastering workers.. he is good with people and performance mgnt

Chikebrain:


Can you supply to edo state ?

yes sir

topsy23:

Yes sir.

Unfortunately, even though I am proud of what Ambode did, what one cannot overlook was the fact that he worked at the level of a commissioner for works instead of the governor.

He had a singleness of purpose that while endearing was also frustrating.

diordaves:


Well, na where dey pain man he dey put for near fire.

Na Ikorodu and Public Health of Lagos state been dey pain me. Ambode failed big time in this respect. Mountains and mountains of refuse everywhere during Ambode tenure. Public health and jobs collapsed completely.

In his vain attempt to achieve his unilateral agenda you termed as achievement, he took his eyes off the ball - the big picture. And he didn't live to fight another day.

Negotiating the narrow channels of governance and building alliances as you go along is working smartly. Ambode was a hard working labourer. Not a smart intelligent administrator suited for a state like Lagos beaming with learned intellectual middle class.

More like buying what we don't need to impress people who don't care.

Screeding is esthetics and nothing will happen if you don't do it. Those who make money will go into marketing on why its good to do it but that is to be expected na money in their pocket.

n3xt:

Most cracks occur after screeding so I would say no.

But for cracks that occur before screding it will cover it initially.
