Greetings to the elders and professionals in the house.

I've been a silent reader/follower of this ever active and informative thread. Thanks to everyone who make valuable contributions on here.

Please, I'd like to confirm if a 4 bedroom (all ensuite) bungalow could be built on 26.5ft by 120ft land in Ogun state putting into consideration the regulatory setbacks for building in the state.

Any cons, advise, recommendations?

Thank you.

No!
The regulatory setback requirement is 3m on all sides but front which is 6m or 9m. That's about 20ft on both sides. You won’t get govt approvals for it.

Yes!
If you're not considering the regulatory setback

I have a tower water tank stand but I want more water pressure, so I use it as needed. It does a good job. Thank you.

Note: I just saw the pics of the one you have, no I dont have that kind of submersible pump. We are talking about the surface kind of pump.

Oh I now understand!

You'll use solar panel for that. This runs on dc and/or solar system.

With a little more tweaking, you can probably make vases like these

Sure! I did something close too.

This is also good product/ system the pipe is called ENCO pipe here in Nigeria I used same same system was used in HAJJI MUFUTAU Project.
Same pipe and system used in “1004 flat” Victoria Island.
The pipe is good for both Hot and Cold water line supply

Here is the link to Hajji M project few yrs back

What about the manifold itself, not the pipes?

Thanks.

KolaShangOne:


Many have also been good.

Just like in all other professions, there are good people and there are bad people.

It's just that here on property section, the general bias towards contractors / Engineers is that they are "pilferers"

I guess I don’t see that here in general from my own viewpoint.

Lots of fantastic builders and artisans here.

When I am in Solar land, I will surely join you.

Gate Privacy Screen: Ideas needed!

Hi All

I'm currently working on an open gate design (pic 1 below) and I need some design ideas. I have an idea of what I (actually my client...) want - an open gate - but the environment requires some form of privacy.
So we agreed to screen off the open part of the gate with either translucent material, steel, decorative screen, plastic or anything nice...

What would you use if you’re the owner of this gate design and why?

Abeg, epp chook mouth

Thanks in advance for your help!

We are also considering other options like openable back cover for the gate, flame resistant net etc.

Does lemon grass really wade of snakes?

Dont know about Lemon grass but CERTAINLY, Tobacco Plant does.

My 3-bedroom building is presently at dpc level(I am doing the filling). I am seriously considering using cement stabilised bricks(mortar or mortarless, I am undecided on that yet). And i don't want to plaster both in and out. From pictures i have seen and actual construction sites visited, i realise I need to incorporate columns. I am guessing the columns are for load bearing for the roof structure. But, i do not have columns on the present structure. Do i break the necessary places and introduce the columns or it is too late? Also funds are not readily available so I am building as the funds come from savings and other means. What I am looking at is if I finally decide to go for bricks, I will suspend building and produce total bricks I need, get other materials ready for roofing and get everything done at once(laying of bricks and roofing) during a dry season. I can use the period of wait to gather all necessary materials and generally get ready. Please kindly advise. Thank you.

PS: is it colour that is added to the mortar to change the colour to the reddish brown?. If I decide on mortar as binder, I will prefer the colour to be same as the bricks and not the ash/white of normal cement( dangote/elephant etc). I just love bricks for the aesthetics.
I have about 450 9" blocks and 600 6" blocks on ground. I don't see hem as waste as I will used them to do 3 courses of blocks before completing the rest with bricks. The 6" leftovers can still be used for fencing. Thanks.

Please how possible is this? My POP man measured about 150m² as the area for POP while the tiler measured 400m². Apart from 5 bathrooms and laundry, and also kitchen that will have their floors and walls fully tiled, every other area covered by POP will also have their floors tiled.

I was just thinking there's so much gap between the square meters presented by the two artisans.

Kindly provide enlightenment.

Good to read from you boss

Vapor barriers (abi DPM or Nylon �) are installed to protect what is inside your house from destructive matter that can seep through the foundational floor. If a vapor barrier is not installed, water will seep into the foundation and cause a major damage to wood floors, walls, and paintings in a house.

Nice quite illustrative, however what of water travelling up along the block work itself, in the video, i didnt see nylon being put ontop the blockwork (this could even be wrong as it may make the building float?).

Pls educate me on how the block side protection is done

Good morning. contact me for your roofing woods,woodwork and General roofing.

That foundation is raft.

I think someone shared how it’s done on the block on this thread. I’ll check and share it probably make a video of how to do on my ongoing build in Ijebu Ode which perfectly fit the narrative

If 150sqm is your total roof area, that is automatically you total floor area or slightly
BUT
The tiles sqm will be higher because of your toilets and their sizes, the kitchen and it's size, the laundry room, the tiles scettings, your wall outside( no tiling works?).
So they may both be right.

I think tilers are the ones who’re normally wrong.

Wall normally takes more but get the dimensions of the room/lobby areas/bathroom to confirm who’s right or wrong between the 2.

I have 73.8m2 total wall area for 3 bathrooms with 8.44m2 total floor area.
Tiler quotes are always not totally correct.


Dimensions below:

Bath 1 - 1.2 x 3
Bath 2 - 1.2 x 3
Bath 3 - 1.2 x 1.2

Oga n3xt, thanks for the feedback.

Please what kind of structure can be built on such land size that one can get approval for.

It's just a one-family house.

Thank you.
