Royruky:
Good morning my people. I saw a video of a remodeled kitchen where the tiles were removed and the walls were screeded and painted. Can someone help with how well to protect the WALLS especially with respect to the area of the kitchen sink where the walls come in contact with water regularly.

I am thinking of using SATIN PAINT for the kitchen walls. Thanks

gbadexy:

Understandably, you have your reasons for wanting to substitute tiles for paint, it's best you use oil based paint for that part of the wall. oil based gloss paint hold up well to regular contact with water.

Royruky:


Thanks for your response. Is SATIN PAINT not an oil based paint?

gbadexy:

No sir, it's water based.

Royruky:


Noted sir, but will the oil based paint not increase the heat level in the kitchen?

adanny01:


In the order you mentioned them.

jceesquare:

It's easy to know which is true and which is false.
Hire another surveyor or go and verify that document at the ministry of lands yourself then kindly come back to give your finding sirs.

gabbytabby:
Just to verify if you know the coordinates is less than 5k. Stamping and lodging the red copy should really be part of cost of approval kwo ?

To secure the site, its Exit doors then windows which will secure the site depending on door quality. Then do POP, tiling and lastly wooden interior doors. If your interior doors are steel, then install it before tiling.

Steel door before tiling and wooden doors after tiling thats because steel doors are mostly not adjustable while wooden doors are adjustable.

Also, install steel door frame before tiling.

The issue is managing the tile to door level. Tiling becomes complicated with doors installed because the doors will almost certainly not be a exactly the same level through out the house. It becomes easier to adjust door to tile level than tile to door level.

Help you with what?
With a Lawyer or with your House Rent?

If you are unable to renew your Rent, it simply means you dont want to keve there anymore.
Just move to another place that your pocket can accomodate

Scale down to a single room, if that is all you can afford, your time to live-big will still come but you need to learn to crawl before runnin.

Good day sir.

I've followed your inputs keenly and I finally have an issue that requires your expertise.

I have a few water soaked walls that have resulted in the walls "peeling". I hope that's the right description. The plaster is coming off and the walls are kinda shedding.

Now, is there a way to curb this soaking and shedding by painting? Or am I heading for wallpaper usage?

P.S: I unfortunately don't intend to screed.

Thanks in advance.

gbadexy:

Wall paper is the last thing you would want to apply on the wall sir.
With the issue of damp walls, one has to identify and understand the source of water.
For the plaster to be coming off shows that it has been on for some time and it's significant.
If it's from across the wall, you may use paints that allows water to ran off the surface fast for the external.
If it's from the ground, the ideal prevention would have been using waterproof membrane at the foundation stage but in the absence of that, you may landscape the floor in a manner that water runs off easily to the drainage.
It may also help if there are no garden or growth close to the building that would retain water.
If all that fails, then you may apply undercoat inside to seal the wall. preferably up to the ceiling level so that the damp mark and peeling doesn't appear above it if applied halfway.
With the undercoat, water would still look for other weak spot to escape, so it may reappear elsewhere which is why the best option is to identify the source first and deal with it.

Royruky:


This is opening a new chapter to me. I thought the undercoat will suffice but it would appear that the undercoat MAY just prevent the water from coming out from a particular spot.

HOW CAN ONE DEAL WITH IT FINALLY

megacontrol:
i sent someone to contact you but they didn't get the right commitment from you.

Can you supply sharp sand and granite to Opeilu Alagbado?

If there's any other person in the house that can deliver to that location, please message me.

HeedrizDepearl:


Thanks for this, kind sir.

I think its either from the ground or water being retained across the wall.

The surrounding grounds have not been floored, so, I'd be sure to do the landscaping.

It's a first, and I wish I joined here sooner. I'm sure I would have known about the membrane at foundation. Unfortunately, my bricklayer is not informed either.

Thanks again, sir. I'd prolly contact you for the paint when I'm ready.

gbadexy:

Alright sir, may God make it easy.
Screeding on a damp wall is even worse. It would perpetually be soggy with growth on it and paint would still peel off together with it.

Royruky:


How does one solve it if it is just a DAMP?

Will the undercoat take care of DAMPNESS?

I have bought that piece for N2,500 last year. We call it the rosette.

Please how many 3 bedrooms can I build on a plot of land or should I go for a plot and a half instead? Thanks
