On the issue of VT, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having one. But there is a need to balance the need for one and the need for the privacy of the homeowner. Your visitor needs to feel welcome but does not need to know everything about you. So I have an issue with a VT that is placed in such a way that the visitor can see albeit briefly what is happening in any of the rooms of the house. I also have an issue with placing it directly in the sitting room. It can be placed next to the sitting room but it should not be placed directly in the sitting room. As someone said, there is a distinction between a VT and a GRT (Guest Room Toilet). The issue of the foul smell can be easily remedied as someone also suggested through a variety of measures. I feel though that every home deserves to have a VT and each room should have be self-contained aka ensuite 1 Like |

joedguy: An engineer gave me this quotation for a soakaway. 16mm rod 25 PC's 12mm rod 10 pcs Qtr rod 30 PC's Cement 20 bags Plank 30 pcs ... Seen a couple of quotes here and no one seems to be using 16mm. Why's mine different? And it's so expensive. I just asked for a standard soakaway to carry sometimes a stationary car and human walkabout. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbengress1: 4:53pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
Thank you brother for your reply. I just finished speaking with the engineer and he explained that the dimension is 2.4m by 3m by 2.6m. Also, he explained that block is not required in the quote because the type of soak away being done are the casted ones which would be sunk because of the topography of the area. olukaygold: |

Coiner:can we see the dimensions of the soakaway, the width may have been a factor here, it's rare to see 16mm used in soakaway pits. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbengress1: 5:00pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
Thanks. But the type that was proposed to me because of the topography of the land was the one that would be sunk after it has been casted. No block would be used. joedguy: 1 Like |

twinskenny: The question remains: what is a service apartment? In my situation, the tenants are responsible. This is included in their tenancy agreement. My responsibility is to provide a high quality rugged pump, high quality tanks and tower. Which I normally do to the best of my ability. The tenants are to take 'ownership' in the responsible use of the provided facilities. So The tenants are responsible for the generator and fuel to pump the water and the replacement or repair of the water pump if the coil burns or as the case may be. This arrangement is also applicable to emptying the septic tank and the armoured wire connecting the building to the national grid. If that wire burns, the tenants are responsible. If the layout transformer blows, the tenants are responsible in the joint contribution of the layout to fix the transformer. All these and more are included in the tenancy agreement. So my tenants are aware of their responsibility and my responsibility BEFORE they move in. 1 Like |
