Looking at the concrete boulders brought out you can tell a whole lot of money was pumped into this house and one would have been wasting one's time attempting to use manual labour.
During excavation some terrible soil was encountered along with refuse, which on enquiry i was made to understand there was a pool there before and when it was no longer needed was filled with all sorts. my decision was to excavate to firm soil and fill with some concrete hardcore then with sharp sand which is expected to penetrate the voids created by the boulders then i would fill with water to increase the sand's density so it can sink well into voids. i decided to use sharp sand as that would not create the kind of voids that laterite would create thereby causing cracks in the future and the rains are still here during construction.

EgunMogaji:
I'm elated to seeing this equipment in use, especially the Bobcat.

It is my dream to have one in Nigeria, it's an exceptionally useful equipment that has many applications.

Pic shows yours truly in one that I rented for my backyard renovation here. I fell in love with it.

Looks like a nice project. I like the challenges that you faced and would have shown professionalism after you completed it. Time and materials matching.

I just like this man EgunMogaji, I hope to meet U someday. U r such a great person, U r d type that should easily say been there done that and actually mean it. A real multipurpose machine it is.
EgunMogaji,Nice photos, thanks. i like those other machines(esp the mini-cooper) too...$ talks.
*modified

Got zinc panels to hoard the existing area and also to protect the floor marble tiles. Got a JCB for clearing and excavation, then manual labor to trim. there are columns involved in the existing building, those happened to be structural because there is a roof deck but because we are having light weight roof this time the columns become non- structural and purely aesthetic cos we need them to mirror the existing onto the proposed.

After salvaging what could be salvaged, removal of windows,doors and anti-burglar bars. i called for a bobcat to demolish and excavate since i knew time wastage was going to derep me with this client.

week 1
work begins with demolition
windows,double swing door,anti- burglar bars, granite tiles on the floor and wall marble both internal and external all had to go!!!

Location: Ogun State
Project Description; A private luxury hall needs to be doubled for an upcoming event. Owner wants his friends to as much as possible not know he has expanded the hall capacity except by size.
Duration; 2 months, mid August to mid October, 2012.
Construction and Project Management Portfolio handled by Rich Ruler Ltd.
Pros; A bungalow project, length was the same but width had to be doubled. simple you would say but not quite.
Cons; some of the finish items couldn't be sourced locally; took time and we had to find another way to make sure the hall was functional and met required criteria for the upcoming event. ofcourse you would not get some 1980 materials in 2012 but we tried matching as much as possible.
A simple expansion/movement joint was created between the old and the new building underneath then tiles laid on top.

Dear Investor,

EXTENSION TO THE RELEASE OF OANDO PLC’s 2015 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This is to inform our valued shareholders and key stakeholders that there has been a further extension to the release of Oando PLC’s Full Year End (FYE) 2015 Results.
Additional enquiries and further engagement with our auditor, Ernst & Young (“EY”), post submission of our numbers to them have resulted in delays to the finalization of the Accounts which in turn has resulted in a delay in submitting the Accounts to the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (“FRCN”) for regulatory review… TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE OR FIND AS ATTACHED.

These are really good points, and after going through all this hassle, I totally concur.
I don't have a traditional roof, so I thought I'd save money by making the panels the roof (note that there is no traditional wood and sheets roof on this house). I was also going for the "wow" factor of having a radical type of roofing, but what a pain in the ass it's been.

I salute your courage and action orientation Sir. If it worked efficiently and better than you expected you would have just opened doors that a lot of us would walk thru perhaps without informing U. Weldone Boss, Kudos!!!

Kemta/Idi-Aba axis.

Hi Boss, should be about 4m from my reports on soil type over there. Sent you a mail.

FastShipping:
How much can one achieve a small size swimming pool like this at Idi Aba area?

Will get back to you Sir. Do U mean Idi Araba in Lagos?

jodeci01:
Good job on the Infinity, how much does it cost to erect something similar?

Sir, thank you. A couple of things decide the final cost like type of soil, levels, scenery etc but let's simply put at not above N5m.

[quote author=nextstep post=The site we have planned has a very deep water table, and in fact, it's very difficult to reach it with a borehole. It's also on relatively high ground, and during the rains, water flows away. Why use foundation techniques designed for Lekki and PH when we can put the foundation right on the ground? Especially when the slab size is planned to be only 6m x 6m. I can't find it right now, but I thought someone on Nairaland did something similar...

Great thinking Sir ! Sorry, I'm late here,but what if for some reason drains around your area gets blocked and flooding happens for say just 1hr after some heavy downpour like u have in gra Ikeja n some areas in Surulere? Some of these things are based on factors of safety, in such an event the man with 1 course of block around perimeter is not at peace as much as the man with 3 courses of perimeter blocks is. People throw things indiscriminately into drains here, some even build on them.

I sometimes wonder how a house built with concrete burns so robustly in Nigeria...[/quote]Boss!!! I hail o!
If my memory serves me right, the American building code's factor of safety and load allowances are higher than the British which we were using . So, their structures are usually more robust. Sharp practices don't help too.
The idea of what works too is detrimental too. People can latch on to the idea that something worked somewhere without thinking of /knowing the thought process behind such decisions and they just copy n paste.

GTBank gave 7.8% p.a for 90 days and gave 7.5% p.a for the previous auction.

serious offloading going on in tigerbrand, skyebank, mrs, oando, diamond bank. Bewarned!!!

O and O is currently gaining about 5% so how's it being offloaded massively? Seems to me serious speculation is going on which is normal for traders. U just don't wanna be caught off guard. Sometimes u make gains other times u lose. In other news our dear Afriprud has hit d elusive N3 mark.

Earnings Update – Q1’16 ended 31st March 2016

Investment Summary
Axa Mansard continued its impressive performance in the new financial year, as it posted its Q1’16 result sheet to the Nigerian market showing a 25.81% growth in gross premium written to 8.83 billion (vs. ₦7.02 billion in Q1’16), while profit before tax surged impressively by 46.66% to ₦751.04 million (vs ₦512.08 million in Q1’15). This inspiring performance in the face of the current economic headwinds shows that the company is very well poised to achieving and even exceeding our FY’16F profit after tax of ₦1.64 billion. Given the current result and the expectation of a stable operating environment we reiterate our BUY rating on the company shares at current market price with our valuation placing the company at a fair value of ₦2.40, suggesting an upside potential of 23.71% in the medium term.

Nice meeting you sir.

Snail farming seems very interesting following this thread.. Pls how can I construct a pen using tyres... Do I need to build a shade at my backyard before using the tyres?

Hi, you stack tyres on each other say 3 or 4. U put a net on the one before the topmost to prevent a jailbreak. U would have put some soil in the last one beneath. Can send a picture when I'm less busy. Hope U understand though?
Having a shade is not a bad idea but the tires provide a shade with the snails staying in the inner parts of the tyres. The stack also provide shades for them.

Work has been completed and pool is in use by owners.
Thank you for viewing and for the kind comments.
Egunmogaji...thank you.
