The basic idea is to look for coins that hit 100k-1m in volume within the first minute of launch. There are other parameters I also add to weed out rugs.

Thank you. We are at the second deck now so would be pretty difficult to change anything.
My engineer is actually saying we should go ahead and that we do not need to change anything. He's your structural engineer and since he says to go ahead then I think that should allay your fears except if you need another person to take a look at it |

Chichilas: Good afternoon everyone.
I would like to seek opinions from esteemed members and building experts here.
I am currently building a 2 storey(3 floor) house with about 40 pillars: The structural design stated 16mm rods for pillar reinforcement and we are adhering to it.
However, I have decided to change the roof design from an aluminum roof to a concrete slab(deck) roof for asthetics purposes and most importantly because I want to fill the entire roof with solar panels and we want to be able to move around it easily and clean them regularly.
Now my question is, do I need to add extra reinforcements for the structure to be able to take the roof slab? My structural engineer says a 4 inch roof slab will suffice and I do not need to add extra reinforcements. I am wondering if we should have just used 20mm rods for the pillars from the beginning. Does anyone have an idea if the 16mm pillars will suffice to carry the additional load?
I appreciate and anticipate all responses. Since you have a structural engineer, ask that he re-run the design and analysis to ensure it works, have him give you another drawing detailing the roof slab. Also, you seem perturbed by the diameter of the steel reinforcement bars but the dimensions of the columns also plays a part. |

Ticha:
It is incredibly hard to remove a tenant who knows the process and tenants do have more rights than landlords and rightly so. It is the tenants home and the right to have a suitable roof over a human's head trumps another human's want to make money for services rendered. After all, they're the perceived underdogs in that relationship. It's only the tenant or a court that can end the tenancy. When the landlord says I want my house back, tenant has to say yes, otherwise Oga landlord has to wait. It currently takes about 12 - 14 months to go through the whole court process of removing a tenant.
A S21 is a catch all eviction notice. Most landlords will use it so the tenant has a lower chance of challenging it as they they just want their house back rather than explicitly stating what the issue is and then it being drawn out further. A section 8 is easier to take through court as the landlord/ agent so when an agent does use it, you know they're serious about getting you out.
Although, all eviction notices are 2 months, the tenants can choose not to leave, can choose to stop paying rent and can choose to frustrate the landlord every step of the way through the court system and there is absolutely nothing the landlord can do other than wait out the process and apply for a CCJ against the tenant at the end.
The notices also expire and all need certain conditions to be met which is where it catches out DIY landlords. If those conditions are not met when it gets to court - however long it takes - it'll be thrown out and the landlord needs to issue the notice again and wait 2 month before starting the court process. If you win the case, then you need to instruct and pay bailiffs and hope that they are available soon as waiting times for bailiffs is now also between 2 to 6 months across the country.
Going to court also costs money - of course costs can be charged back to either the landlord or tenant but the willingness to pay nko? One of our tenants paid back £3800 at £5 a week. Of course we could have done a financial disclosure but again, it means going back to court, then paying to have their payslips and bank statements collected so the financial disclosure can be done. In the meantime, they can resign, move away, change names, go self employed, declare a reduction in earnings and frustrate that process.
A landlord can be banned from landlording, they can be forced to sell properties to meet requirements and regulations and sometimes spurious ones too. If you own a HMO, then your name and address is on a public register that all and sundry can access. In Scotland and Wales, rents are capped, and every landlord is on a register. Rent increases can be challenged and often won when done according to stats. Direct payments can be stopped and other than these notices which totally relies on the goodwill on the tenant, court is likely the only option to get your property back if that goodwill is not there.
Has he finished paying? What if this was a house on mortgage with a tenant as this? Would the banks care for all that delay? |

NuCypher:
Many Nigerians take such things for granted. When Covid started ravaging places like New York and Italy, there were theories that it was going to decimate Africa (especially Nigeria) once it gets there, especially given the high human density in places like Lagos. Many people were scared. Regardless, when Covid got into Lagos, it barely did any damage. Nigerians were barely washing hands or using face masks, yet nothing happened to them. This surprised many public health experts who had expected carnage. When it went for long enough and Covid didn't seem like a problem in densely populated places like Lagos, one theory advanced was that the many vaccines people in Lagos certainly took in the childhood may have been responsible for the inherent immunity they developed against flu-like viruses like Covid. While nobody knows for certain, there's likely some truth there.
Many Nigerians don't know the good the vaccines they took in childhood was. They grow up, listen to American propaganda and suddenly think vaccines are Bill Gates trying to take over the world. The same Bill Gates that sponsored their polio vaccine....dey play Children born in the US do not take this vaccines? |

I'm trying to avoid unnecessary waste of money. Yes, you can get an architect to design and also supervise the build especially if it's not a building with suspended floors. A good architect can handle it. |

I know others who have made the journey to and fro. Enter a vehicle going to Sokoto and stop in Kebbi, it's fairly safe. The second option like someone else mentioned is to take a flight from Lagos to Sokoto and then take a vehicle to Kebbi. |

gbadexy: @ sconp, you are correct sir. I've been banned twice trying to respond to my mentions. I suspect the reason you have a blister is that the concrete wasn't fully dry. As the concrete gets hot, the trapped water vapor tries to evaporate but are trapped by the epoxy coat. The bubbles are the water vapor trying to escape. You may scrape the affected parts during dry period and repaint the affected parts. Thanks |
