Moisture Theory is the general assertion that kitchens, toilets and bathrooms must be tiled from the floor to the ceiling to prevent water or moisture from getting into walls.
I believe in the theory of as long the space is well ventilated, the right primer and paints used only wet area requires tiles...... it's a interior deco in practice where I am and it WILL also work in Nigeria, I prefer a lively interior not a shrine!

I greet Noble men of this property thread, Pls can anybody kindly tell me how much it’ll cost to do the record copy survey of a plot of Land or Two plots? Perhaps we have able surveyors in the house.Thanks.

omanzo02:

Who cares what they say, it's my build not theirs....I follow my own ideas not the crowd.
You know only poor people will call someone poor, so why should I care?

topsy23:


in 1991, Lekki area should be around 25k per plot

Hello all,

So work has commenced and my Engineer said the land is sloppy so he had to lay 9 coach at the back and 8 coach at each side so that when they start constructing the drainages I won't have water flood in my compound.

Here is now my question....

He said he wants to bury another 3 coach at the back so that when it's time to start sand filling, the walls are not going to collapse due to weight of the sand been resting on the walls.

Am thinking if there is an alternative to this cause he has consumed 1200 blocks already to dpc level and it's not a water logged area.

He said we either build another wall of 3 coach to hold the wall or we pour concrete inside the block so that it can stand the pressure.

Please what options do I have cause they've started casting already.

SUV is not immune against snow slip, you can perfectly drive on snow with a normal car....I don't live where severity of snow fall are rampant. With winter tires and tire chains you can drive up snowy hill without problem but it requires maneuver skills though.

May God help us and save this country for the sake of genuine hustlers

Took the strong steps of just closing my eyes

Bought 200 bags of cement @₦3200 (Lafarge)
Bought 100 bags of POP cement @₦9,000
Bought 50 Glova Paint
Bought 12 Vinko bond
More than enough original Coleman Cables (1.5mm, 2.5mm and 4mm)

The amount spent alone today is enough to complete a foundation for a 4 bedroom bungalow in some parts of NIGERIA

@KolaShangOne

Out of curiosity, which area of Ibadan?

Good luck on your project.

diordaves:


Now I get you especially with kitchens. Apart from the splash back, I really don't get the need to tile kitchen walls floor to ceiling. Really not necessary.

Egun will see this now and say overbuilding. Over decoration I would say.

In 1991 there was no Lekki. They call it Sand field at the time. Victoria Garden City was the big boys destination at the time. I think Sand field became Lekki during Abdulsalam to Obasanjo regime

I used 300 tons to fill my foundation because I stubbornly wanted an even floor. I will never ever do it again because I now know better.

What “I” would do is step the foundation but this needed to have been designed by the architect when he made a site visit.

Building a high foundation and the resulting filling is a total waste except one is doing it because of water.

We recently finished building a house in Ijebu on 3 plots of sloping land and didn’t bring in one spoon of fill dirt. The house and yard were all stepped appropriately.

Good luck on your project.

Total sqm of sheets used was 546sqm instead of over 700sqm as stated by 2 roofers

segzy14:


If you did 8 or 9coaches of block without a beam in-between, some part of your foundation will tear/crack/collapse when you're filling/compacting it with laterite.
There is problem.
Since it is sloppy, your engineer ought to know what to do.

Yea..I paid around 3500 in Feb or so..thats almost 260% increase in price..considering I used 90 bags or so...that brings in additional cost of 540 000 Naira...Truth be told...this is not sustainable..this is hyperinflation.

At this rate how will civil servants afford decent home with their salary?

Are the tiles laid with adhesive?

michlins:
Make una come buy my Nigeria made steel doors. It's beautiful, strong and yet e no dey tear pocket. Na shikini money

Baba, Nigeria is not USA o.
Our building inspectors care less about environment.

Overbuilding is allowed at the foundation stage to prevent story that touch.

A friend of mine do not have water issues in his lot until over 3000 houses without proper drainage design were developed around him.
He has almost filled up his building while trying to build flood protection around his build.

I’m currently landscaping a Federal Government project and we were forced to introduce an underground reservoir despite having a very high foundation. This is because the project is at the receiving end of a steep slope in a community we are very sure the residents won’t give a hoot about having a drainage.

n3xt:


No.

I’m working with the adhesive in another project. I’ll share pics later.

Regardless of your flooring, you don’t need to waste your fund screeding/leveling the floor. A watery mix of OPC and the tiles adhesive is what we are using on this project.
