Bro, your post that I referenced is gone? Users might be looking around for the clarification and enlightenment you helped me with.

n3xt:
You're right on the bolded. When you're banned on nairaland, it's only you that see the ban status. Other viewers can still see your profile and the last time you were online. However, you won't be able to comment, modify or like posts.

I hope you get it now. He's on one month ban from January 20 to February 20. Nairaland admin and mods can't deny this. Check his last post.

Remember to thank me sha for sharing knowledge. I hope you'd go back and clear your last post once you verify my irrefutable claim.

Everyone wan form FBI sha.

Merci! Another knowledge gained. But I will need to call Seun and confirm

Update:

Why has mountmoriah not shown up here to tell us his own side of the story blah blah?

Attached is the screenshot of his nairaland profile. He was banned by a moderator for derailing a thread.

Imagine I didn’t step in to update this platform on the progress made so far...

Values are promoted by what we do, not what we talk about.

I'm a novice with nairaland's modus operandi, but i guess the ban came off quite early. No longer February 20

Truly, I was a novice. Clarification and enlightenment has been provided by N3xt below.

Some couple of days back, we had a nairalander share a list of "Top 10 Most Followed Nigerian Musicians On Instagram". This list surely generated some controversies regarding the authenticity of the followers of some of these celebrities.

I have decided to come up with a related list. The top 10 most followed, but based on how many followers a celebrity gets for every instagram account the artist follows. You can also make your own deducement from the list. For example, you may be wondering how come an 'inactive' teknoofficial is having 8.6million followers with just 26 posts. I leave that and the rest to you for review.

According to Kobocity Cement Concrete Calculator II, you will need 1 bag of cement to achieve M15 1:2:4 Grade of Concrete but I'd suggest you give 2 bags.

Also, 5 tons is tooooooooooo much for the job. 4 wheelbarrow load max should be fine.

Merci monsieur

Kindly help with the number of bags of granite (especially) and cement required to cast the foundation of a water tank (4 legs). The dimension given for each is 15in x 15in x 36in.

Please note that constraint is being exercised at this stage, so there's no much money to throw around.

I'm actually torn between buying 5tons of granite or the required number of bags same.

@N3xt, BrabusNG,
Kindly help. I tried using the tool on KoboCity but I'm not sure its built for this my purpose.

n3xt:
Always use tying wire instead of welding the rods next time.

Please enlighten an amateur mind. Is using tying (binding) wires stronger and better than welding?

michlins:
sure why not. Just make sure the foundation is strong enough

Thank you sir.

By strong foundation, I'm sure you mean good size and fantastic mix ratio.

Please will 100mm by 45mm H-Beam be sufficient to carry 2400liters of water for a one storey building?

Ayo by name +2348067848083 just tell him from Engr Niyi

I'm grateful

kobocity:
IVe replies you twice but interestingly nairaland spambot has been unleashed.

All thanks to ineffective pm function.

The guy will do less than 500k. Check his contact information in my signature below.

Thank you. I'll reach out to him.

gbadexy:
More

Very nice. Can I please get the contact of the guy that did the wall POP?

n3xt:
The bolded part though. It's already becoming a nursery rhyme

In actual sense, we deliver quality for less.

Ok, let's deal sir. Will you provide the contact?

n3xt:
Do you mean his estimate for 4 x 4 x 25 tank tower or the quality of his work?

The estimate, the quality and the final product, of course.

I meant I'll be interested to work with him provided the cost is within my budget. For the quality, I don't think I should have a reason to doubt that .

michlins:
what's the number of tanks you intend for it to carry and the height of the building

2 units of 1200 liters tank to be arranged vertically.

The height of the platform is 25ft.

n3xt:
Are you in Lagos? I can send you someone who’d do this for less onsite.

He’s the wizard behind all our steel fabrication projects at NextHome.

Yes, I'm in Lagos. Ikorodu, Lagos.

I'll be interested to see what your man can offer.

Many thanks

michlins:
sir this is something I can not do. Review the quotation of another person job. He's the person working and knows what he needs. If you think it's too high, check another person and review.

Thanks for your understanding

I quite understand your point here and other subsequent submissions you've made.

Okay, let's take it from another angle. Will you be willing to take up this project, 4ft by 4ft by 25ft? Location is Ikorodu, Lagos.

michlins:
sure it can work but I personally hate it. I prefer to err on the side of caution because you never can tell what would happen. After spending multiple millions building a house, you will risk it all because you're trying to save a couple of hundreds of thousands. Galvanized pipes usually bend and break. Just two months ago,a colleague was called by a home owner to come back and fix the one he has. Luckily it didn't hit the building or kill anyone.

@spyder80 thanks for the mention

Thank you.

Could you please help review the quote below for the use of 'U-beam'.

n3xt:
If he will get good galvanized pipe, I have a 24ft tank tower that's over 10 years old and it's a galvanized water tank stand.

Thank you

I may just insist on him getting very good galvanized pipes. I'm just so much concerned about getting an alternative stand made with some different materials.

Below is the quote the technician gave me if he's gonna use 'U beam'. How good is the quote please?

Happy New Year to everyone!

Please how good are galvanized pipes for the construction of a water tank stand? The welder is saying that 4 inches diameter pipes will be deployed.

The pictures below depict what we hope to achieve.

Please what is the cost of erecting a 7.5meters high 6ft by 6ft platform to hold two 1200liters tanks, suspended one on the other?

n3xt:
I hope this helps

Pic 1 - 4 | Ongoing production and installation of 2600sqm of 6mm thick (double t) paving stone and 126m run of Kerbs (medium size)

Thank you. It sure helps.

But I noticed you didn't mention sharp sand as one of the materials required to produce the stones. Is sand optional?

Kindly help me with a link to the post where we have calculation/estimation on interlocking.

Is it advisable one installs electrical fittings before painting?

Please what is the labour charge i should be getting from a plumber for the following tasks:

1. Fix all plumbing fittings, closet, taps, heaters etc within the house
2. Lay and connect all water and waste pipes within the compound, and leading them to the soak away
3. Connecting the elevated water tank supply to the building.

The building is a miniaturised 4-bed duplex and the plumber is charging 110k.

Secondly, is it advisable to fix electrical fittings before painting?

Someone should please help me with this

Oroyinyin, Idumagbo, just before Idumota.

I bought all the cables I posted on line yesterday there

It was easy cause my office is on the Island.

It is better than going to Alaba market

Thank you.

I suppose that should be the Jankara market?

THAT SHD BE IDUMOTA OR SO....... (cant remember the name)

Thank you sir!

But I no wan lost o . I'll appreciate if you could help get a precise location.

Please where is the major market for electrical fittings in Lagos situated?

I thank God for how far we've gone on the project. I however got a shocker today, regarding cost of wardrobes and kitchen cabinet. Almost same cost of 400 bags of cement.

I invited one furniture man to take a look and make recommendations. He plans to use HDF. The quote he gave, I believe, is on the high side.

Is there anyone here, or could you please recommend someone who could make good wardrobes and kitchen cabinets.

Location is Ikorodu
