You know with flow switch you pump water more than when there is no flow switch. Does flow switch makes pumping machine last long?

I didn’t get your question here.

Float switch is good ONLY if your voltage is normal and stable. If your area is normally experience low voltage Pls do not use float switch or else you will burn your pump.

Please what could be responsible for the dampness in the pix below and what is the solution?

Please note that water doesn't enters thru the window but from the outside wall. And this is a duplex,it happens to the rooms upstairs.

Why don’t you buy this from Emeka shop or Mr Giwa in Orile? grin grin

That’s exactly my point.

How many people here are going to do 3 trucks of tiles?

You’d want to avoid using it if your current is unstable.

That’s penetrating damp caused by water coming through the exterior part of the building that’s exposed to severe weather condition.
This can be stopped by having proper insulation installed on your exposed wall or waterproofing the wall.
In extreme cases, you may want to install awning over such area.

Penetrating damp can also be caused by water coming through leaking window frames. To stop this you’d want to use silicone gun to waterproof around your window.

Chekitaut has unsettled cement matter with @Thenext.
I’m sure that’s the reason he’s avoiding this platform.

Please how much would you say is the ballpark figure for the carcass of 4 units of two bedroom apartments if there are two units on the ground floor and two units on top. It's a dry land

Cc rotecch77, n3xt, spyder880 EgunMogaji2

I heard its in Port harcourt?? Which area? Odani or Sars Road?

It's dry land but might still require a ground beam.

This is just a guide.

Foundation - 2.5m - 3m
Ground floor - 2.5m
Deck - 4.5 - 5m
Upper floor - 2.5m
Roof - 2.5m - 3m

You can get a QS to give you a more accurate costing.

I guess hollow blocks were used.
The bricklayers like to fill the block holes at the windows with all manner of junks and mortar. It will take a longer time for moisture to dry out from that solid section than the other normal wall areas.
You don't have any problem. Make sure it is dry before painting with a water-resistant paint.

There are some Emekas in Orile that have more capital and integrity than those “big” names fancy companies with tie wearing reps.
I know a particular dealer that importants up to 100 containers of tiles and sanitary materials at once.

Never done business with him before even though he sold some truck's business proposals to me.

Too bad more people are turning out this bad

While some still have shame by running off the Internet, some don't have shame at all.

NB: Not condemning him yet since I don't know his offences.

Hmmm, this is deep.

Greed has consumed this country.

The above was in the news few weeks ago.

Nigerians screwed up this country.

A country that lacks identity and idealogy should not expect to have patriots.

Yep!

I was a mediator on the matter and he got a very fair deal to convert the cash he’s meant to refund into supplies (just 1 granite and 1 sand) but he still blew it up.

I think he has dipped his hand into many difficult stuffs. I pray he’s able to retrace his steps and come back stronger and better.
