Same with the lintels in the first pics here...is it ok to do lintels that way? I'm not even talking about "chaining" the lintel, but having the lintel sit on a mere 3 or so inches of block wall at either end? Maybe it's just my eyes that's deceiving me sha.

Your eyes are working ok bro ..it’s more shaa..
According to books and how I was trained each lap ends of lintel should be 225mm not up to 1ft but in most cases at site we do about 400mm here.
More so lintel are not structural member and solid materials can be used as lintel “ just to cover the void area”

I.e metal, special plastic, hard wood etc

How do they pump into all these tanks. They could have used one GRP tank of higher capacity

They will pump into it easily , each tank will have separate valve, I have done 10 valve of such before for 10 tenants.
The last one i did was 6 tanks 11 tenants

waley007:
oga michillin , look at this tank , how possible is this , do you think the iron will be strong enough to withstand pressure .. it's Scarry

It’s 100pec possible look at the stand it’s 6legs and once the calculation of Load is ok then they are good to go

jabolo:
By eye really. Slimmer profile blocks are better to behold somehow.

Or, just count the number of coaches on the fence. Typical 9 inch blocks would be 9 coaches, here we have 12.

I don’t get you right, let me explain how block sizes and shape measurements to you either your block is 2” 6” 3” 14” all of them have same height it’s only the width that are difference

More so 9” block is very easy to set, you see those smaller block size like 5” 6” 7” are very hard to get a well good straight work most especially when it’s more than 6-7 courses of blocks height

There is nothing wrong with being a brand ambassador . But when you force yourself to become one like hush puppy did, that is where greed and trouble starts.

You are 100pec right. “Jomo”pipe is also good
The Niger pipe the OP mentioned is also good it’s more common in used in Benin and most eastern part of the country.
It’s was Also available in Lagos some years back around 1995-2002 but they didn’t bring it anymore

sonnie10:
See ehhh, the thing is this life is very short. I know it. What most people will regret is not what they did, but mostly what they didn’t do. I have seen people come and go, and have seen what those they left behind did with the money they couldn’t spend.
You see this life, na better money I never see. But the small God has blessed me with, I not fit kill myself !

Very deep
In one Yoruba adage which says “ ohun tii eye jee nii eye maa gbe foo… literally means what bird ate is what it will fly with.

sonnie10:

There’s always a price to pay for quality. If the thing dey, spend am 😂

Truly there is price for quality.
But it’s not alway someone need to break bank to get what will serve you for long.
White elephant spending is not the answer always for premium things.

Not until I buy TOM FORD Monk strip of $1600 before my shoe will last for some years
I bought Watch of only $150 8yrs ago and it’s working like new till now it doesn’t fade.

#iwillneverbepoor#

walexProjects:
The cost of your units is dependent to
1.The time of purchase
2.The brand(Daikin is still the most expensive I know of in the market).

The cost of all this things now is crazy because of the exchange rate,even some big importers like Emc and panaserv don't have some units right now in Nigeria.
Sent a quotation to panaserv,got a reply that some capacities are not available for now.

I got you right my bro

Adedward:

Knowthis:
Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with Multi-unit split system air conditioners.

I have a 2 bedroom flat that I want to install AC into, but I want a setup where there's just one outdoor unit, and three indoor units: one for parlour, and one each for the other rooms.

Is anyone here familiar with this stuff? Which AC brand sells this in Nigeria and how much is the price range??

Thank you.

Very simple work for …Engr Topsy

Deshuttering Formwork for the slab based on IS Code 456

GV by NextHome

28 days is usually 99%.

More so formwork can be removed once the concrete or any materials is strong ENOUGH to hold itself..
but practically it’s not good to load the concrete before 28days if the form-work / shoring removed

MeineMutter:
You can use resin-quoted MDF with hardner . Works very well.

I can share with you videos of how they do it over here.

Very lovely and ‘royale’

Even they use it for countertops.

Thanks for sharing this with us I will do more research about it

FEGEITOK:
Any experience with tileless bathrooms? Did anyone on this thread ditch the common tiled bathroom for something else? If yes, please share your experience.

Bathrooms are tiled for a number of reasons:

Waterproofness: Tiles are non-porous, meaning they don't absorb water. This is important in bathrooms, which are exposed to a lot of moisture from showers, baths, and sinks.

Durability: Tiles are very durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. This makes them a good choice for high-traffic areas like bathrooms.

Easy to clean: Tiles are easy to clean and maintain. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mopped with a mild detergent.

Aesthetics: Tiles come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and finishes, so you can create a unique and stylish look for your bathroom.


Alternatives to tiles in the bathroom:

Waterproof wall panels: Waterproof wall panels are a relatively new alternative to tiles. They are made from a variety of materials, including PVC, acrylic, and stone resin. Waterproof wall panels are easy to install and maintain, and they come in a wide range of colors and finishes.

Laminate: Laminate is a popular choice for flooring in kitchens and bathrooms. It is durable, easy to clean, and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. However, it is important to note that laminate is not completely waterproof, so it is important to seal the edges of any laminate flooring in the bathroom.

Natural stone: Natural stone, such as marble, granite, and slate, can be used to create a luxurious and elegant look in the bathroom. However, natural stone is expensive and can be difficult to maintain.

Paint: Paint is a more affordable alternative to tiles and other materials. However, it is important to choose a paint that is specifically designed for bathrooms and that is resistant to moisture and mildew.

Based on your analysis tiles is still the best.

Back to your question, I have completed a bathroom without tiles and NO traces of dampness.
My village bathroom was built with 4 walls of Aluminum covered round the toilet with cross bar plank to cover the entrance with cloth hung on it, without running of pipes , instead we used bucket and fetching bowl to bath.
Cheapest and zero maintenance
