laptopsforsale:Congratulations on a milestone achieved.. it’s not easy . DPM is important especially if there’s rising damp issues in your area. Its sold in building materials markets from the people that sells tools etc or you can buy at Adeniji Market at wholesale prices. It’s sold in rolls, get the length and width of the building to know how many to buy.. Ciao |

pragmatistm:Very encouraging. Nigerians should be more engaged in DIY. I know some people who call an electrician to change bulb or change and replace a tap head. Such simple stuff. This homeowner must have saved thousands of Naira and artisan wahala. |

laptopsforsale:A high and well-levelled foundation is always the best ; kudos to your engineer! 👷♂️👏 I had a similar experience on one of my ongoing projects. Luckily, there was a heap of laterite nearby. To cut costs, I didn’t construct the internal walls at the foundation stage. Instead, I used short columns and plan to tie everything together later with a plinth beam. The money meant for blocks was wisely diverted to other pressing needs. For now, I’ve paused the project after earth-filling to allow natural compaction. That also gave me space to focus on another project here in Ibadan; which is now almost concluded. More funds to you as well, so you can finish strong and on time.

Yesterday, I noticed the front logging space was smaller than the sides. I quickly called their attention to it before they went too far, but they told me not to worry, after all, I’m just “the engineer,” not a carpenter. But when they started placing the fascia board, the mistake showed; and it was so obvious. That thing stared me in the face. I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about it all night, and I told myself, “Tomorrow, I must correct this.” This morning, I wore my safety vest, strapped on my hard hat, laced my safety boots, carried my hammer, and climbed up to join my carpenter. I had explained the fix, but he didn’t fully get it; and I couldn’t risk letting it slide. After hours of back and forth, I got the result I wanted. And I still told him, “You’ll get your full workmanship payment, but this glitch, we must fix it.” This is why I don’t leave site easily. I’m not just an engineer on paper, I’m hands-on. Quality is my signature, and I don’t compromise it for anything

gbadexy:Good afternoon... Please what could be the permanent solution to this.... The painter first applied already made screed putty(whitish) before applying paint on it but it gets pealed off whenever water touches it.....

| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 4:02pm On Jul 12, 2025 |
gbadexy:Also what could be the cause of this epoxy coating peeling off like this? The first pix is the floor while the second is the paint used for coating....

bixton:I don't think screeding putty is what was needed for floor. Also it can't peel when water touches it as epoxy is literally plastic and waterproof and water has no business getting beneath it. Epoxy is better for indoor application where sun would not affect it. Regular ACR solvent floor paint would do just fine. If you must use epoxy then increase the ratio of the paint to hardner to slow the reaction and make it a bit flexible. |
