Becareful oooo..
Cases can drag for years and the winner will have the right to demolish any structure erected on the land even after 2o years


bebe2:

just did, they confirmed that part of the estate, i.e the back is in litigation but their lawyers are handling it.

they dont think its a big issue as work has continued on the land.

but will have to carry out my own findings.

Love the country side than the cities
Reason I love south of French Nice than Paris
Paris is up north, I find it too busy and sometimes chaotic, moving around is more favourable with public transport unless you are not going to central Paris.
The southern part on the Balearic sea from Monaco to Perpignan have almost same weather as North Africa, and they live a more lively tropical lifestyle.

It depends where you are coming from, there's no restriction within the EU, just risk advice and severity in places, we are expecting our vaccine in or before March 2021. For now I just keep my trips close to home. I don't think tourism will pick up before 2022, we shall see anyway.

Good evening everyone. Hope you all had a great day. I have been asked how I intend to reduce the noise which iron doors are notoriously known for and here is my solution.


So after making the doors and installing on the frame. I will use a special hinges that will allow me to pull the doors from the frame at anytime I desire. I will cut dunlop foam according to the shape of the frame and align it across the whole frame. When you close the door, instead of the iron door to hit the iron frame, it will jam on the foam which will cushion the sound and reduce the noise by at least 70%. Now when you hang it on wall and fill up the frame with cement, it will nearly eliminate the noise down to non-existent level. The said hinges is noiseless and doesn't make creaky sound too.

Attached is the picture of the door which I worked on. The owner no follow for people who likes fancy stuff but he's one person that has eyes for perfect finishing

You shared a gruesome video of an attack in Borno , one of the 19 states that comprises Northern Nigeria to back up the premise the North of the country is now a "killing field" and "a Somalia within Nigeria". No one is arguing that Boko Haram insurgents isn't a problem in Borno State.

What i don't get is how that now automatically smears the North as a no go area, a place one goes to die. So you mean Kaduna, Kano,Sokoto, Benue, Taraba, Kebbi,Nassaraw, Niger all peaceful and booming states in the North should be avoided because something is going on in far away Borno? That is downright silly and myopic.

And that's the last i will respond to this particular boring topic

So, l am supposed to start gathering all the sordid pictures of the mindless killings in Arewa land, just to prove to you that when they say Nigeria is gradually becoming a failed state, they are actually referring to Northern Nigeria?
Is that a measure of your level intelligence or how far smart you are?

Google is your friend and all the Videos are there for yoru attention if you care to listen.
Dont we have killings in benue or is that not where over 100 people were slaughtered by Fulani Herdsmen and buried by Governor Ortom?
Dont we have it in Zamfara over and over again?
What about Kaduna, between Fulani Jihadists and Southern Kaduna indigenes?
Dont we have it in Adamawa?
What of Chibook?

Wait, You actually want me to compile the gruesome madness in every state in the North, just to open your eyes? shocked shocked
You are certainly out of your depth.
Any sensible person knows that the North as a whole, is a No-Go area right now for people who value their life (as against the las las you die type like yourself), you will either get kidnaped, raped or killed, if not Boko Haram, it will be ISWAP, if not, it will be Fulani herdsmen, if not it will be the new fancy name called Bandits and if you are lucky to escape all that, the Hisbah are there waiting for you to say something the dont like.

The fact that Army Generals and their troops get killed now and again, the fact that an armed Governor's Convoy can be attacked four times within a few months interval, the fact that Chibok has been attacked over and over again, with children kidnapped, the fact that places like Baga remains under terrorirst control, the fact that Army FOB's get ransacked randomly, over and over again, etc, is enough.

And you still come here to tell us that the North is a safe place to be? War ravaged Yemen is safer that Northern Nigeria.
Abeg, stop sticking your head down your lower backside, it does not help

Go to Northern Nigeria right now at your own risk.
If you guys dont like the impression you are ting, then stop the cazy killings and embrace Peace. its that simple.

PS; I appreciate that you said you wont respond again, l dont want to hear some lame comeback from you on this, anymore.

I am also from Nnewi, in fact my village is not far from the place you described as your workshop, police station around that Secretariat side right? I am not comfortable with some of the stories i hear with relation to crime.

I know you will latch unto this one. Food don come grin

If you cant differentiate between Petty, individual crime like this, and the wholesale slaughters, burning of Villages and towns, kidnapping of whole Villages, etc we have in the North, then you are not supposed to speak on the things. undecided

Include KolaShangOne in the querry too.

Ibadan is very big and you will need to identify an area. I have adopted Elebu and Omi Adio area as my bod oof choice. My decision is that those two areas gives me speedy access to Murtala airport/border when nasal finally burst grin and also to Ijebu Ode where I am from. Others choose Bodija, Iwo road etc so they can flee towards North.

My recommendation is to come down and spend a week (to include weekday and weekend) to ascertain the area and study traffic patterns (Lagos people are Lagosfying Ibadan already). Once you set on an area then search will one better. Hotels are cheap here. SuperK Hotel at Challenge Ibadan and Academy Suites at Ososami are both recommended and are affordable in case you don't have folks here.

The only way top avoid Omi Onile is if you buy inside an estate or GRA. I can never ever live inside anything that's a GRA/Estate/HOA. Even if Omi Onile comes they don't charge the millions that is rumored in Lagos. The hardest thing is to identify the real leader (Were Ni Oga) and just deal with that one.

Elebu area has a lot of good areas but the roads are bad (I just finished welding the seat brackets in my Jeep, something I have never ever had go bad in all my 33 years of vehicle ownership in the USA. I like Omi Adio now but it will be boring for a young person. Omi Adio has a station that will enable you to get to Lagos in under an hour. You can also look at Ologuneru are because that one has a station too I think but now you're going inside Ibadan proper where I really don't like.

As you make your findings let me know and if you need a site visit let me know too. I have Architects, Surveyors in my circle of professionals.

Well said.

No na grin

At your height and the imposed load, your stanchions, tie beams, top beams and bracings will still provide the much needed support. So there’s no cause for alarm.

The post is just to enlighten us that there’s always a better way.

I used to work on Telecommunication Masts so I understand a lot about how steel towers are/should be built.

Going forward, we should always try to pay attention to most of the decommissioned mast/steel tower and collapsed steel structures to see how they’re built and their support braces. Most failures aren’t all substandard materials.

Well this is really no big issue except where the welding of the joints or braces are not good.

Most residential tank projects will survive without one provided the welding of the joints, beams (secondary/primary) are good.

However, if there’s need to add the plates then it can still be introduced by cutting the braces.

There are also plywood/metal gussets for roof trusses. It’s not only used for steel structures alone.

As a structural Engineer, any type of joint used in design is good and well calculated for.. Using gusset plate or welding or bolt and nut are all good ways to connect structural members.. the design is what matters... Some are designed to be movable or rigid.. it all depends on the Engineers design... so, saying using gusset plate is the best form of joining members isn't a good structural advice because gusset plate are still welded to members...

This is valid!

Welded or bolted, you’ll agree that using a gusset plate to connect structural members is better.

What I’ve learnt in welding is that welds matters. So you’re absolutely right.

I think what is important here is that whenever a junction exists where load points gather, then spreading the load with a gusset is ideal.
