Shame on Dino. That a Nigerian army personal died while fighting in the north make him/ her not to be a citizen of Nigeria. Why do we then honor our fallen hero in January every year? For Dino to say all this it shows how self centered most of our politicians are. Play politics with every thing.

jozz:
All the other clubs in Europe including FC Barcelona are mega Bleep ups honestly.for real to win 3 times in a row, they should all bury their heads in shame.

Won without buying any single player. The are still under FIFA ban to buy players. They use same players from last season to win. That to tell you that Zidane understand the boys and made them to know it will be a division of labor. You cannot use 11 players to win a league much more champions league, you need a squad (a bad suicide mission squad). That have the Bad like Baale, the Good like CR7 and the Ugly like Ramos(always doing the dirty job for the team).

Thanks bro,

I really appreciate your detailed explanation, but I will not mind if the team that did your friends own can come for mine too. Can that be possible.
Thanks one again.

Daboomb:
Hmmm.. this probelm can be very frustrating, my friend went through hell, before he sorted his own.
I was with him all the way because 'l told him what does not have mouth, cannot be wiser than two intelligent adults'.

I want to see if l can request him to post me his pictures, so l can share it here.

- Since the leak is from the side edges, it is due to hydrostatic pressure from underground water.
- The more you seal it, the more the pressure increase, as water must find its way.
- Nothing can stop that pressure, except the type of 'instant dry cement mix' used in consturcting bridges but you are not Julius Berger so you wont have that.

Here are what you need to do:

Requirement: Concrete mix sealant like HydroSeal. (Contact this guy, Peter Olabode 07060415187. A 5Litre keg was 16K)
One length of 3" pipe. A few Bags of Cement. Enough PVC Construction Nylon to cover the base of the tank. Sand, some Granite and Iron Rods.

1. You are buying Concrete Sealant which you will mix with the Cement mixture, used in flooring the base.

2. You are going to lose some depth since the problem is already there. Leave the side leakage alone, let it leak.
You will be creating a completely NEW BASE. (But you can save cost by reducing the amount of iron since the first/current base is strong enough to prevent collapse but not enough to prevent water ingress.)

3. Get a good, working Water pumping machine on ground. You will need this to pump water continiously for at least the first 12hrs and intermittently afterwards, depending on how quickly the water returned.

Important: The 'sucking' rigid hose of the pump (the hose part that sucks the water from ground into the pump machine) should be less than 3". You will need to remove the strainer at the end, so it can enter a 3" Pipe.
Suck all the water out first and then proceed as below.

4. Put 6" blocks, randomly on the current floor of the tank (about 12 to 18 blocks will do, depending on the size of your tank(let us call this floor, 'floor 1', for easy nomenclature). The new one will be called 'floor 2'.
The blocks will support the new wooden base of 'floor 2' while also allowing water to pass around between them.
Dont crowd the floor too much with blocks but put enough to support the weight of the new floor and the person who will be casting it!

5. Put 1x12" wooden planks on the blocks to form a platform, so the new platform has a height of one block, above the old 'floor 1'.

6. Using a plum-line, mark out a new baseline for the tank (all around the walls, just along the plank line).

7. Chisel about 2" deep (horizontally and vertically into the wall, all round the tank wall, at the edges of where the wooden platform will start from.
The idea is to create a good bond between the wall and the tank base you are about to construct so that the water does not have a 'direct route' upwards, when it tries to come up.

8. Cut a hole at the centre of the wooden platform, just let it be big enough to allow you to insert the 3" Pipe. No bigger, No smaller please.
Important: dont cut the hole at the side, water pressure is greater at the sides and more difficult to manage! Pumping machine hose will also be difficult to handle, from the sides.

9. Lay the PVC Nylon on the wooden platform. Leave enough Nylon at the sides so you can push them into the crevase you chiseled earlier. This is to increase the difficulty of the water in sneaking past the the tank wall and make it even more water-tight.

10. Cut out a 4.5ft length of the 3" pipe.
Important: dont cut longer (difficulty ot handle).
Dont cut shorter (it wont likely hold the water long enough and the water will come back to spoil the job).
4.5ft is just about the best length.

11. Insert this pipe into the hole cut into the wooden platform.
Let it tilt at an angle of about 60-degrees to the floor (or 30-degrees from the vertical).
chuck all the surrounding edges where the pipe meets the wooden platform with more PVC Nylon.
All the excess Nylon will be buried within the Cement, when you are doing the flooring.
Dont let any of them stick out otherwise, that is where the leakage will come from.

12. Put some iron rods on the wooden platform, enough to give the new tank base some/enough strength (a few rods, criss-crossed will do. nothing elaborate)

Now that you have prepared the floor,
13. Insert the pump's hose into the 3" pipe, let it touch the old floor (floor 1) and suck out ALL the water that would have accumulated between the blocks and the wooden platform.
Leave the hose inside the 3" pipe and start the pump once in while, maybe every 15-20mins, depending on how quikly the water rises.

14. Mix adequate amount of Cement with Sand, that can give you a tank base thickness of about 3" - 4".
Add a few granites to it (not too much as to make it too dry or have air pockets/holes! ).
Add adequate cement please so that it can pour in a manner that will fill all hole/air gaps and so it can dry quickly!
Shovel the mixture properly to give you a good mix.

15. Add the rquired amount of HydroSeal (as per instructions on the Container), to 'enough water' in a bucket.
This is the water you will use to mix the Sand-Cement-Granite mixture.
Stir properly and pour into the Cement mixture.
Mix properly and add enough of this Hydroseal/water to the Cement mixture until you have a good slurry that is wet enough to 'pour'. (Dont know how to better explain this but the mixture must not hold shape, when shoveled into a head pan, it must stretch-out like a slurry).

16. Pour this onto the wooden Platform.
Let the Bricklayer work it into the chiselled edges properly and around the 3' Pipe.
Keep pumping out the water from under the platform, through the 3' Pipe.

17. As long as you keep pumping out the water through the 3" pipe, never allowing it to get to the level of the new platform, for at least 18-24 hours, (when the misture should begin to be strong enough to withstand some pressure), you will be okay.

keep pumping for about two days. The water will start rising through the pipe and may even spillover through it, ONTO the new flooring!
You may see some of this water and other water on the new tank base but dont worry about them, that is just the Cement 'spitting out' the water you used in mixing it (my friend nearly has a heart attack when he saw this water the next day, thinking the thing has failed again! )

18. keep mopping and drying-off all the water on the new floor (dont crak it with your weight, if it is not yet strong enough to carry a humanbeing).
Watch it for another day but this time, pump-off the water rising through the 3" pipe and dont allow it to spill over to the floor, just to ensure there is no leak afterall.
The pressure is what is pushing the water up the pipe and if it were not long enough, it will spill onto the new floor before it is adequately dry and not being dry, it wont be strong enough to withstand the pressure (e go leak!)

19. Finally, Suck out all the water underneath the new floor (floor 2) again and immediately use a lot of PVC to block the pipe (pushed down its length till it is under the floor, upwards till it is about the height of the wooden paltform.
Then pour dry cement down the hole and end it with a mixture of Hydroseal mixed with just dry cement only (No sand, No granite). Dont make it too wet (unlike before), just enough to wet the Cement.
Fill it up all the way to the end of the hole, meaning about 2-3ft above floor level.

20. Cut off any excess pipe after this 3ft.
It should dry-up before the water rises to push it off.

Now you have conquered the water.

NB: I have tried to make this as detailed as possible (long story!), so it can benefit anyone who has the same challenge or anyone about to engage in the process, a first time.
Twice my friend has to break and remove a particular Septic tank becaus just wont stop leaking, until we did it this way.

What is coming out from 2 edges at the base where it meet the ground.

bixton:
When you say water coming through the edges do you mean the 4 edges at the base where it meets the ground or at where?

It was precasted on surface and left to cure for more than 3 weeks before they sank it. The walls are not leaking. the leak is coming from the bottom at the edges. The water pressure is high.
From finding in the neighborhood everyone's septic tank leaks but in various degree and intensity. i want to get mine right.

Rubbiish:
Did u cast the septic tank inside the hole?
U ought to cast it outside, i.e precast. After proper curing before putting inside d hole. Was that the approach u use?

Will using iron like that of water tank not be better option for septic tank than concrete in water logged areas? Would like to hear expert opinions.

My Ogas,

This septic tank was casted on surface and suck as per the land is a water-logged area (precisely in Port Harcourt). The floor was also casted but the problem is leakage at the edges. The septic tank has been casted like twice, still no good result due to the high pressure of the underground water. The moment you pure the dry concrete mixture you will see the water coming through the cement concrete. The Septic tank was like 12 ft deep initially but now due to the casting poured is like 10 ft or less.
Anyone with a professional advice or solution.

Thank you.

That is very true, I went back this morning to buy six 2ft6 doors for 90k, 15k for each. I was going to use aluminium doors for my bathrooms but they were way too expensive. the aluminium doors would have cost me about 170k.

Nice one. Wish I can get this doors for same price in port Harcourt. I need like 8 urgently.

Nice work bro. How much is 1/2" henco pipe now.
Thanks

Lol, I think you mean the VW Beetle Sir.

Like Oga spyder rightly said, ....."Some" Fans, not in all cases.

If hooks are secured properly and fans mounted correctly, Vibrations should not be a concern.
Aesthetics is the area I believe choice is subjective.


And speaking of aesthetics, there are Fans that double as Chandeliers. The home images below are from a Nairalander's install. Both fans are operational in the 2nd and 3rd pictures.
These do not require a hook, they use a mounting plate, and the blades fold in when the fan is not in use.

Yes I got your point. Was in a resort in Kenya and saw ceiling fan install with POP. just trying to think outside the box and know is possible. As oga Sypder said vibration is a big factor that need to be considered. Below is picture of the fan I saw.

spyder880:
Don't mind my language, but ceiling fans are an affront to a good POP ceiling To me, its a necessity I can do without in other to save the beauty of my ceilings.

1. Its ugly on the ceiling
2. Most ceiling fans will come with some vibration on the wood suspending it, incidentally, that's the same wood carrying your POP ceiling. This vibration has a long term effect of making your ceiling unstable.
3. The metal may rust and stain my white ceiling.

I normally use alternatives like an A/C, a standing fan, table fan or a wall mounted fan to supply added ventilation. I am also a fan of the long window which can increase ventilation.

Thanks oga.

Ogas in the house.
Is there a way to fix ceiling fan where POP is installed? Is there any specific type of fan to install.

Thanks

We did plaster Window hood because it's better , hood design are simple but appears Beautiful especially on casement windows. However our considerations are:

*Size of the window hood is 3inches by 6 inches
*Light thickness ( if huge it's likely going to fall over the years)
* At least an inch gap from the window frame
* Immediate cleaning of the window and lubrication for proper opening after work is advised

Nice work on the window hood. How much did they charge per window for the window hood.

Thank you

Bro,

Nice work you are doing. Please how much are they charging for the window dressing and the window hood.

thanks

Window hood

The priest did not walk from his country or house to this remote village to spread the gospel, he must have used a commercial flight to the nearest airport and hire a car to the village. Is not stone that will pay those bills, is money. Money from where? You can answer that the best way you know. The People (Church) that send the priest will always send him some money for his upkeep and the priest will surely put on ground the very needed basic amenities like good water and if possible a small clinic. He needs money for this. Money from where? You can answer that the best way you know. Dangote don’t pay tithes but I can take you to a mosque he built for us. Is that not giving back to God? Uba too is building a church for his town people.
If you don’t believe or support offering and tithing, please stop. And use your money to help people in need directly. Go yourself to elderly homes, orphanage houses and help. A and if you have big pocket go to your village or Local government know their need and help. Do it as per pocket level and your size.

Mztarstrechy:
This is a pure work of evangelization. This is the apostolic mandate that Christ gave to his disciples to go to the ends of the earth and make them his followers.

In this Church, there's no tithe, no payments for prayers, no seed sowing and no money matters from the church members. In fact, the priest should provide for them.

This is Catholic Church in mission land.One word for the priest
