Desanta:


I'm not a roofer I just want to pay for it.

Exactly my thought

smallsmall:


Dont remove it, please, it is very useful and necessary.
Put it INSIDE, it is a Toilet for YOUR Guest, not some random passer-by!
What is the door doing OUTSIDE, when the guest that will use it are already INSIDE your house?
Moreover, the more door access you have OUTSIDE, the costlier it is to secure them and the riskier your overall security becomes.

I dont know what @ArcToyin is thinking with his comment about "where do you want him to put it"?
That sort of statement should never come from an Architect because l am sure their training involves safety, security as well as aesthetics in building design. Is the "Bricklayer" not supposed to stick to the Arch-design of his Client?
Or is the Bricklayer and ArcToyin one and the same person? (Na serious joke sha )

Maybe you didn't read my comment on the post, i suggested having it inside. I raised the question because she was not satisfy with my response and the position of the door. The door can also be put outside if that is what she is thinking then i will now explain to her the negatives of it. This similar situation has been dictated by clients umpteen times. Some wanted it outside while some inside some don't want it at all while some will never take a design without it.

A similar issue to this is that of Guest bedroom. Some think it should be accessed from the Living room, others think it should be from the Ante room thereby blocking the room from the main house. My question now is " what should be the right practice?"

Person2person:


what do you mean by 3 folded?

it is of different sizes....from 10 inches upward.

14 inches is 600

16 inches is 700

18 inches is 850

location may affect the prices a little..

Ok thanks will check the inches when I get home

Good morning house...


1. Is 100,000 a reasonable price to pay for workmanship to plaster a 4 bd apartment in and out? Or what's a fair price?


2. Is it advisable to plaster during this raining season?

Johnnyemy:
I'm about to roof a 6 bedroom duplex and got the following quotation for the wood work. Seems to be on the high side, I'm not an expert in this field and needs some expert opinion regarding the attached quotation . Thanks in anticipation .

I guess eastern side bro...where is the building exact location?

I got you wrong, perhaps due to how you phrase it.
We have builder, engineer and co here, you will surely get the right info. Just provide the dimension. God will help you too as you try to help your friend

Desanta:


That's exactly what I want. I'm not a builder. He wants me to give money to his friend who is a carpenter but i need to know how to bargain with the friend.

Thanks God for his faithfulness here,

@Adedward, keep up the good work man.

Good Evening All,
Please house help me out, I just build the attached soakaway but the problem is the 2 are full with water. There is concrete at the base of the septic but is not done for the soakaway. Please how will I solve this problem? Thanks

I suggest that the best way to go is to dig SOAKAWAY now since what you done before is septic and concrete, and then link the formal. Or open the septic, evacuate the waste and now do it well.
Hope that will help

It is not clear how you built the system but I can guess the soakaway is not soaking away water. It is just a storage tank. At the base the water will not soak away faster than it is filled by the household water use because the base will be blocked by settled effluent/sludge but funny enough, ground water especially during rainy season can collect into the tank.

The solution is simple. You need to make the tank soak away water from the sides and not the base. So empty the tanks, crack the sides and place pipes (bevel the pipes) so the pipes are facing upwards. Do this from the middle of the tank and a bit nearer to the top of the tank. See attached photo. Sorry, I can't find clear photos.

Don't forget to cement the base. Leaving the base not cemented is useless for the intended purpose. All it does is let in rain water into the tank.

Why do you insist the base be sealed and why do you recommended pipes in the wall instead?

Nice work. Can i get a sketch of 10 units of mini flats? I do build and sell/rent and currently discussing with a client. I actually have 1 f3om my architect, but would mind if i can get another for my presentation. Thanks

Thanks for your response, I already dig the soakaway, the problem is the soakaway is not soaking anything, infact is the one bringing water from the ground.

tonididdy:

As you can see from the poster, leaving the base unsealed is useless in letting water out of the tank. But very effective in letting ground water into the tank especially during the rainy season. So the base is better sealed or else water will get into the tank during rainy season and can't go out. In such a scenario, the soakaway is just a storage tank. It is not soaking away waste water. It will get filled in no time.

But you need to construct the tank in a way the tank can soak away waste water. The best way is to place pipes by the side as I've already illustrated. The pipes are placed buried into the soil slanted facing upwards and cemented/plastered together with the walls of the tank to hold the pipes in place. This way the pipes lead the waste water straight into the soil.

Because the pipes are slanted upwards, ground water if any at that depth (the upper part of the tank) cannot upwardly flow into the tank. Again waste water as from the middle of the tank is free of sludge, so sludge can't block the pipes unlike the base where settled sludge at the bottom can block the base.

I hope this helps.

Am grateful for your advice, like you said the soakaway is not soaking anything, infact it hasn't been put to use.

Thanks once again, I think you right. Like I said earlier it has just been built.

You didn't state your area.

Soak away is for area with dry land... Those in water logged areas like yours only build Septic tank.... And evacuate frequently.

... Are you saying the water in that tank got there from the earth underneath?

All this water came from underneath
Lol I don't envy you guys in waterine areas et'al.

tonididdy:

It is very possible in Niger Delta and parts of Lagos. Think well water. During continuous rain, wells in Niger Delta can fill to the brim just from ground water (water table).

... Nothing can stop that but tiles with solid concrete.

Hi good people, my site is close to water. Do I need foundation beam or I should just do my normal foundation and put membrane before German floor?

My question please, if you dig the ground for up to 6 feet on my site, you will have a normal well full of water. How can I go about my foundation in such a land? Not a wetland really. Please I need urgent answer because work will start soon.
