Site visit to Ogbomosho on the 9th - 12th of December. Windows have been fabricated in Lagos and transported down to Ogbomosho. Installation of both casement and sliding windows in progress.

Baseplate foundation footing for the marquee is also in progress, the consultant contracted for the marquee is a brilliant guy and took his time in making sure all the baseplates align properly before we did the casting.

Hardcore filling of the marquee floor in readiness for the german floor casting.

This is real hardcore and the german floor is going to be solid. Weldone boss

Great to see you are back on this project boss!

Casting of the german floor of the marquee started on Tuesday 23rd January and it will probably span over 4 days or less. We have a total area of 2400 sq.m to cast excluding the entrance terrace and stairs. We are goin to be using 3nos mixing machines and a team of 45 people.

Heavy project! Well-done Bitsworks.
From what I can observe, concrete's are mixed on site with loads of people on site. Is there no concrete mixing company you can order your concrete mix and they will deliver to site in or around Ogbomosho. This project is just too big and deserves such. Good job though.

We were able to achieve 500 sq.m on DAY1, we started with 3 mixing machines but one broke down and we finished the casting with 2 mixers. From the experience of day1, we were able to restrategized and mapped out new procedures on DAY2 and we were able to achieve 700 sq.m meaning we are halfway there.

Like u said, project is just too big for the kind of method we employed. I actually spoke with Lafarge for their *Readymix* product but they don't deliver to Ogbomosho for now as they do not have any Readymix depot that is within the 2 hours road trip distance specified for their product.

Thanks for the input.

Windows have been fixed and correction is ongoing for the ones that are not aligned properly. Even with the claims of using plumb, most artisan are not as detailed as I will like hence I have to make some alterations.

Plastering is also ongoing and the kitchen building is done for now.

Back to site, back to work. We have commenced with the hoisting of the 60m x 40m marquee tent. The guy in charge of the marquee team is a wizard when it comes to this work.

Ongoing ceiling fixing using PVC ceiling slats. The size is 0.2m x 5.99m and you have 10pcs in a bundle which makes 12sq.m.

This type is the made in Nigeria brand which doesn't break when squeezed between the fingers, the importer China type are more fragile and don't last long.

Door fixing in progress also, we are installing a combo of steel doors for the entrances and PVC doors for the toilets.

is it concrete underneath or compacted laterite??

ricki:
is it concrete underneath or compacted laterite??

I don't think I quite understand your question but if its what is laid under the tiles, its a mixture of cement and sharpsand laid to a plumb level and when the tiles is about to be laid on it, a mixture of cement and water is poured on it to give it adhension.

Kindly rephrase your question if my assumption is wrong.
