Italy is the best producer of tiles in the world follow by others reason why there tiles are very expensive ( design, durability, quantities they have verities that can matched any areas I.e Indoor, outdoor.

But no matter the quality of ceramic or porcelain OUTDOOR WALL TILES it will still fade a little from its original colour due to W/A weather conditions

BUT REAL STONE TILES or BRICK will not fade due to its nature

Attached pics is one of the best ITALIAN tiles you can buy

Italia MARAZI wall outdoor tiles now is btw ยฃ24-ยฃ35.

Good Evening Gents.
Hope we are all doing well?

I need a Referral from members of this family, for a friend who needs a Professional that can install a Water Purifier in his House.
The Color of the Water, l am told is[b] rusty brown[/b] because it contains iron/Ferrous.

Please, if you have a reliable link, kindly drop the Installers Number here, so l can pass it onwards.

Thanks in advance.

Longest time Chief.
What you need is water treatment plant
It comes in fiber type and stainless type.
Nature of your water will depends on the type of chemicals to be used, although there are some popular chemicals we usually used for regular non clean water to make it consumables I.e chlorine, activated carbon, etc

You might need to check the structural integrity of the whole building first.
Can you build on what you have on ground or do you have to pull it down and start fresh blocks?
This is very important.

Valid!

Iโ€™m currently on the fourth floor of redevelopment of a 19 year old structure in the heart of Lagos state. Itโ€™s one of the most solid and very interesting multi-floor building Iโ€™ve seen around with lots of jaw-dropping unsupported long span beams.

We spent over 3 months (working almost every day) preparing the foundation for the new addition.

During the project planning stage, we all agreed to make our new additions a standalone building that has no connection with the existing structure and that was exactly what we did.

It was quite an interesting project.

Can you build on what you have on ground or do you have to pull it down and start fresh blocks?
This is very important.

Assuming what is on ground is still strong and the only problem, as you stated, is the Arches not having Pillars:
- You can chisel back "half length of the Block" on which those Arches rest on (provide Bamboo/Wooden support for the Arches before doing this so the dont fall down).

- Dig a bit into the Concrete Floor
- Put prepared Column Irons
- Encase the remaining art of the chiseled-back block (with the Column Iron placed across its face, touching the floor and the Arch resting on the top of the iron) on its three remaining sides.

That should provide you with the Column support needed to keep the Arches in place
- Introduce a rich mix of slurry Concrete into it, from the top.
- rebuild the Wall thereafter. You can also chain the Arches to the Lintel, to form a strong surround Structure that hold each other together and in place.

Caveat: I am not a Structural Engineer or builder, l am just an experienced Enthusiast and my Free Advice is provided "as it is".
For more professional Advice, kindly source a qualified Engineer.

with the exception of the wall tear, the structure still looks solid, just looking for ideas on how to rehabilitate the wall tear area.
thanks for your suggestion and caveat

THIS PLACE IS A LIBRARY OF KNOWLEDGE!
Thank you super-chief! With people like you still around, the house is in safe hands.

what is the difference between "manual and automatic" Sir?

We got a quote from someone on another forum and he listed Calcites, 13"Fiberglass, Filter HOUSING, dmi carbon, resin, sand, granite, etc and 4 membrane reverse osmosis machine and 1HP pumping machine.
He spoke about regular "backwashing" but could not explain it into detail, to my satisfaction.

Everything else looks like what you posted and l really appreciate the effort you have gone to, to shed light on this because this provides us with a good level of insight on the subject.

God bless you real good Sir.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Please I have an issue.

This time last year, we fixed bore hole in our house. After they finished, we noticed that white sand comes out of the water any time we pump water.

They said we should allow the water to flow out for some hours before allowing it enter into our tank so that the sand will all come out.

But after the stipulated hours given, the sand was still coming out.

The drillers said it's normal that with time, the sand will stop coming out.

So we bought a water filter to connect it to our pipes so that it can filter the sand and clean water can be coming into the house.

Also we had to still buy electric kettle for boiling water. Whenever there is light, we would stay up even till midnight trying to boil water for drinking.

It's really stressful.

This is what we have been doing for over a year now.

Yet we have borehole o!!!

I see people who have borehole in their houses who don't go through this type of stress while having borehole.

I see people who have borehole in their homes, who just wake up, take a cup, go to their tap and drink water.

But I can't do that even with my borehole

We had to raise money and do borehole because we faced lots of stress using well but it seems there was no point atall.

Till date, white sand still comes out of the bore hole when we pump water.

Please what can I do in this situation because I am tired.
