Crime / can police case be reopened by seepanel: 8:35am On Jun 26, 2023 |
we had an argument with fulani and they cut me with cutlass and the wound was very deep. they promised to handle hospital bill which they somehow did. but the community heads deceived me into making the case close though some agreements were reached which most are not being kept. now community heads gave assurance they would be chased from the community but just now it is beginning to dawn on me that they tricked me so the case gets closed. I want to withdraw the agreement, give them back the 70k i was given to use in feeding for the 5 or 6 months it would take for the injury to heal. I want to know if the agreement and papers signed in police can be withdrawn. i want the case charged to court let me try my luck there or so maybe they would have fear enough to chase them away from community |

seepanel: is it normal for blocks to get a bit soft/weak during rainy season, then return back to their full original strength after the rainy season. |
Properties / Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by seepanel: 5:39am On Apr 03, 2023 |
hello our building project foundation was completed approximated 8-months ago then we paused to repack our pockets. now our blocks are hand-mould using dangote cement and removing approximately 40-blocks per bag using only sharp-sand and stone-dust. now we were putting in the pillars, and we noticed, unlike few months ago when the blocks were strong almost like a rock, now with the rains, it's still strong, but not as strong as it used to. though workers still swear it's so much strong but personally, i know it isn't as strong as they used to be. i want to know if the strength would return when it dries after the rains. the foundation is about 8-months old |

seepanel: Failure to put the DPM before casting of the damp proof floor (DPC) would allow rise of moisture through the foundation block work leading to damage of screeding and painting layers. I want to ask, are those the only effect of doing German Floor without DPC & Damp proof membrane ? Would the building structure get damaged also ? Just asking because though I plan doing German floor, I may or may not do DPC hence my reason for asking. 1. Advice of using 3 Coaches after the lintel is well taken especially since that's what I wanted to do BUT choose asking since most even the Rich seems to be doing 2 coaches after Lintel. 2. For the reinforcement pillars, i would be using 12mm rods while I reserve 10mm for rings. 3. For the Lintel, I plan chaining (full range) some sides while using short lintels in some other places. Condition of my pocket would decide if I do Full Lintel all over or just some parts full while other short. 4. I intend changing the block mould to something much ticker as most we see are done for the markets. They are thin. Gladly enough, I've found one that's much thicker. Welder whom I paid to make me mould since over a year ago has disappeared including from his shop. Also I plan buying Sands in minimum of 20 or 25 Tonnes since they appears cheaper than buying 15-Tones. Also i would try building up at least 2,000 blocks before getting started again. At the moment, we've done the Foundation walls, leaving spaces for the pillars.. Next is to order 20-tonnes sad for block Moulding & setting, hen order filling sand (lterite) and 12mm rods. Hopefully all these would notexceed fbuary / march. |

ITbomb: Thanks for your response Sir. You see, before ariving at maximum number of blocks per bag, I asked a couple of people and some even told me if it's for personal house, moulding 50-blocks per bag was okay. So I was the person who decided to make 42pcs per bag rather than 50-pcs I was told. Also this block moulders hardly even do as agreed. tell them 20pcs and watch them do +-15pcs so I just tell them something a bit higher so that when they decides to be smart, I still get what I wanted. So they never did the 42pcs I asked of them, rather they were doing 40pcs and sometimes a bit less despite me continually monitoring and arguing with them. Although to be fair, when one of the block moulders got tired and asked I do 30pcs since its a personal house, I thought he was trying to make his own life easier since less numbers means more less work for him. Anyway going forward, I plan a maximum of 40pcs though I would intensionally ignore them a bit so they do their usual 37pcs to 38pcs they often do though once in a while, i would remind them it ought be 40pcs. 1 Like |

Properties / Building Related Questions by seepanel: 4:58am On Aug 19, 2022 |
Good Day Sir/Ma I have the following questions please so I would be able to make informed decisions with the builders. 1. In Block Setting, most bricklayers suggest using 1 bag of cement to set 100 blocks. My question is, isn't 100 blocks much for 1 bag of cement ? What number of blocks do you think is good enough to produce good results ? We might be poor but don't want to be silly. Wouldn't mind setting 80-blocks per bag of cement even if that means the project taking much longer to complete. But knowing if 100 blocks is very OK would help us decide. 2. Building is 5 bedroom Bungalow and would be roofed (using Aluminium roofing) and some people don't bother using using pillar (reinforced iron rods beams) but we plan using them. My question is, for a bungalow, which iron rod size is recommended between 8mm, 10mm and 12mm ? Would have loved to use 12mm but the price I was told when I priced it made me seriously start having a rethink. 3. We mould our blocks ourselves using Sharp Sand & Stone dust. Question is, there are at least 2 types of sharp sand - one using in moulding blocks and another used in decking. Is it more better to use the Sharp sand used in decking without stone dust or to continue mixing the normal ordinary sharp sand with stone dust ? Also we remove 40 to 42 6-inch blocks per bag of cement. is 42 pcs of 6-inch blocks per bag too much ? I know the recommended is 30pcs but how do you see 42pcs ? We would have loved to use 9-inch blocks but economic situation isn't helping. 4. I see people doing partial lintel rather than all round lintel. Does that matter much ? 5. In foundation filling, is it better using the filling sand which is made of clay or we can use any type of sand e.g those soil scraped from the ground while they were grading the site. I think they call it caterpillar sand ? 6. In setting of blocks, under normal conditions with no issue with the land, it is 1-block inside the ground, 2-blocks above the ground making total of 3-blocks for foundation level. Now for the rest of the house, most I see is 12-blocks high (i.e 4-blocks before window level, 5-blocks on window level + extra 2-blocks after lintel making a total of 11-blocks high or 14-blocks high if we include foundation blocks). My question is, is this enough or people are just trying to minimize costs ? 7. From readings on nairaland threads, I have learnt it's better to totally cement the foundation floor (i think they call it German floor) before continuing with rest of the house and one reason is to separate the foundation from the rest of the building. This among maybe other reasons is to avoid moisture like when it rains rising up the walls which is what causes paints to weaken over time. My question is, is there any other alternatives, like just cement those block holes or we must do the german floor so as not to have such issue. Please do note we are not wealthy but just barely managing. but we equally understand building a house need be done right to avoid sad stories. for instance, we manage to buy 10 bags of cement about every 2-months so you see, we are not even rich so please don't mistake us as being wealthy. we are just trying to build something long lasting with the little money we are able to get. Building is 5 bedroom Bungalow and would be roofed so no decking. I know already we would dig soakaway and use the sand for filling but that already has been done and the sand used for our last unsupervised project which collapsed at lintel level. Now we stay on site anytime we are working else no work till we come. |
