Imagine, same scenario happened to this my Client. He was given a tax of #150,000 last year November, he refused to pay and was dilly-dally on it. We went together to their office to protest the amount. You wont believe that what was on the original receipt requested by the government was just #5000 whereas they brought #150,000.

The large cause of the problem of this country are the citizens.
Wow, we are our problem. Those that make their money in similar way will pay without asking any question, only in Nigeria people sleep with 25k balance in their account wake with 125 million without any question as to where the money came from. You won't believe in this part of the world the money one save over the years, you can't just walk into some of these banks branch to withdraw $50k cash without giving them advance notice. Some of them don't even have it in the bank, in doing so they may have done their delignates on that individual before the money is available to be picked up.

One thing I notice about houses built in Anambra state is that the houses always looks beautiful from outside but when you enter the house, the internal designs/plan aren't always good.

Please I'm not trying to critic ur project. I'm only stating my observation

It's not peculiar to only anambra state but to mostly all round the country. Also know that it's at the final consent of the client. So whatever is built them the client approves of it and appreciates it.

So if I may ask how do you prefer the internal of the building to be like..... maybe you can help us with a little sketch. grin : grin

The issue is if you dont dance to their tune, once job will be left on unattended to. Instead of they delaying one's work one has to give Ceasar what is due to Ceasar.

I thought that screeding of external walls also brings out the smoothness and finess of paints. When walls are not screeded, the beauty of the final painting work tends not to be that smooth.

You are correct with this. eg. Satin paint on screed wall does the graphics.

Screeding also helps to ward off retention of rain splashes on the wall. I stand to be corrected.

This is not absolutely truth. Water defaces screeded wall especially wall screed with white cement.

N5,000 is not what you’ll pay if you go to tax office. What they normally do is to backdate it.

Well, maybe he should elaborate on his view about the interior, what are the elements he dislikes.
Or is it the arrangement of spaces and so on?

I don't think it's possible. We protested against Sars bocs of their incessant killings, not even the bribe oooo.
Police is back on the street doing as usual.
The less corrupted or clean handed people are entrepreneurs, (most especially those who render services) we satisfy all and sundry to keep are names and images safe.
We lament over what all those people do to us because we can never do such to them. We always satisfy them, we always want them to come back.

Hello House,

We digged septic tank and Soakaway for 6 flats. 3 flats with one septic tank, the other flat with one Septic Tank. And one central Soakaway and we channeled the bathroom and kitchen water to the Soakaway. Within 6 months. The two septic tank Got Filled and the Soakaway. After, we discharged the Septic Tank. We disconnected, the bathroom and kitchen water of 4 flats. But, to my surprise. Within 4 months the septic tank got Filled again.

What could be the problem
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by princenomics: 4:09pm On Jan 30, 2021
Please what should be the ratio of POP cement, top bond gum and normal cement. I doubt if my builder can do it without knowing the ratio. Regards
davodyguy:

Settlement crack
Options

Cut out that portion and add reinforcement then plaster.

Then screed with POP cement, top bond gum and normal cement.

If it's not a major structural issue, you'll not see it again

Use POP guys please.

Your builder or Bricklayer can't do this.

I got specialists for screeding and POP works

if you aren't using coloured Gerrard to show the beauty despite the high cost, you are doing yourself. My roofer told me to use the common black, I declined. Now everyone admires my roofing smiley
Using colour is not the issue, the environmental impact after a period of time matters. E.g Nigeria is a dusty country and environmental polution from combustion carbon from vehicles, firewood, etc will get the colour dirty over time, colours deformation will occur and will be visible but black will camouflage those deformations.

No doubt about your post, you are very correct.
But what I’m trying to point out is that we can get our wall 70-80pec smooth without screeding.
What most people/ artisan believed now is that only screeding can make your wall smooth which is very wrong there poor handling of job make client believed them ( artisan).
More so you can get your paint well smooth without screeding, if your wall is nicely plastered coupled with prima as undercoat.

I like your submission. In design and construction, professionals need to understand cost control and how to achieve best with limited resources.
