Oga Spyder,
Please how can i confirm the total area of the roofing sheets for my building (17.1 x 12.0 sqm, edge of fascia to edge of fascia; height of kingpost is 4m)?
A vendor has given a quote based on 340 sqm, but i believe based on my own calculations it should be in the 260-270 sqm range.
Thanks, your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Sequoia

If you are not a fan of the high roof then make your roofers drop the king post to about 4.5 meters.

By EPS, you mean the polystyrene parapet fascia?
Yes i do!

spyder880:
The key consideration should have been the total area of the building but these days, we subject this decision to choice. The house owner gets to choose how high he wants his roof to look. While some people are not too comfortable in a high roof building, others are not comfortable except the roof is high enough to be seen in the next village. And yes, a high roof will raise the total roofing cost.
Thanks for your response. Is there a rule of thumb or standard for it?
My build is 16.4m *11.2m and I need to manage cost to keep within my budget. What would you advise?

Have you used EPS parapet? I am also trying to decide between concrete and EPS parapet/fascia!

Thanks as always,
Merry Xmas and wishing you a nice holiday in the village.

Hi teewhy,
Do you have any square or rectangular profiles?
i.e. where the parapet is a little flat and the end is rectangular? like Oga Spyder's Villa as attached!
Thanks,
Sequoia

Roof king post height is 6.9 meters cheesy
Olga Spyder, why is your roof this high? Wouldn’t it increase the total area of your roof, thereby increasing the budget? What are the key considerations in determining the height of your roof? Thanks

I am still on the polystyrene fascia
I will be highlighting all the important things or activity to carried out for those that will like to use this method for their future work.

Polystyrene comes in three meters each apart from the ridge or Valley. All other part comes in three meters.

Polystyrene is measured in linear meters and not per meter square.

Polystyrene can be bought in standard size of 450mm x 450mm or 300mm x 300mm. It can also be made on special order.

The 450mm x 450mm goes for around N4,500
While 300mm x 300mm is sold for N2600

The polystyrene also comes with a special cement used to join the point of contact between polystyrene.
Sir, do you have an idea of the current prices now? is the price quoted above for the 3 m standard lenght or in linear metres?

Thanks

By the way, we're already producing an average of 30kWH of energy per day. This means we can keep the lights on, charge our phones and laptops, as well as run an efficient fridge indefinitely, without caring about PHCN or fuel scarcity. I personally designed and manufactured the highly-efficient (prototype) LED lights we're using, and I'm proud that they've run without issues for weeks now.

(I'll post pictures soon)
Interesting that you manufactured the LED lighting. Can we see pictures? Well done sir

As a water Logged Area, you cannot dig and do brick Works for the Spetic Tank, as water will now allow for that to happen successfully. So as a result, you have to cast the size of the tank and sink it into the Ground. Kindly check page 4 and 5 as it sheds more light on how it was done
I saw how it was casted on the ground, and i get why you have to do it like that. ITs the process of sinking that i wnat to know how it was done. Was it sinking by its own weight or you found a way to excavate under it?
thanks

Nice work! I am tuned in.

A quick question, considering that the soil seems well settled and good, why using up to 5 coaches for the foundation?
Car TalkRe: Naija Mechanic And My Car's Cooling System by Sequoia(m): 2:27pm On Dec 18, 2013
Have you changed the cooling fluid to a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water as earlier advised?

If you have only water in your radiator, it is likely to boil and be reducing as engines have their optimum temperature in the 90 - 120 degrees range.

So check that first and compare your new radiator cap (or is it coolant reservoir cap) with another vehicle of the same brand.

All the best

Car TalkRe: Tyre Size. Sienna And Co Pls Help by Sequoia(m): 4:10pm On Aug 15, 2013
Siena: The tyre sizes you've chosen are fine. Of course, you can go up a rim size to 15". So 205/60x15.
@Siena,

Is the above in reference to my request?
Sequoia: @Sienna

Make: Toyota
Model: Corolla
Year: 2002
Trim: CE
Engine Size: 1.8

The undercarriage of my car gets scratched by the bad roads too much and i am presently thinking of increasing the ground clearance of the car. Options i beleive include changing the tyres to one of a bigger size or increasing the rim size. i presently use P185/65 R14 tyres and the manufacturer recommended tyre specifications are P175/65 SR14 and P185/65 SR14.

Please what do you advise? thanks in advance.

Regards,
S
