CEMENT MIX RATIO

Here is a general guideline for mixing of cement by Lafarge:


For higher strength concrete Grade 25/30
Use 1 Headpan Cement/1.5 Headpans Sand/3 Headpans Aggregate/0.5 Headpans Water

For medium strength concrete Grade 15/20
Use 1 Headpan Cement/2 Headpans Sand/4 Headpans Aggregate/0.5 Headpans Water

For lean mixes Grade 7.5/15
Use 1 Headpan Cement/3 Headpans Sand/6 Headpans Aggregate/0.5 Headpans Water

For MORTAR & PLASTERING
Use 1 Headpan Cement/6 Headpans Sand

11 bags for two fairly spaced room, not bad if you have good mix and sand. That’s like average of 4 bags per room.

But if God bless you, kindly add more bags (maybe 1 or 2 more) of cement. Plastering is a part of your build that requires to be quality upfront.

You’re good with any 32.5 Cement. Blockmaster (42.5 R Grade) is not a bad one tho.

When we had an almost similar situation, we just simply introduce a new formwork, chiseled the beam a bit to anchor some iron rods to it.

Hope this helps!

Check online for Centurion Automatic Gate Operator. I know it’s everywhere now.
I’m using D5 and it should be around 300k now. I think D5 can carry up to 500kg gate.

I bought 180k about 8 years ago from Nevosys (also a nairalander) but he’s no longer in town.

I never use local gate roller installed by my welder. Nevosys gave me a very good gate roller (imported) which makes the gate operation very smooth.
My 2 year old can easily open the gate without help in manual mode.

There are other add-on modules that can be purchased at extra cost too (GSM module for remote entry, infrared beam etc).

To be honest, I think your Nigeria is kinda different.

I’ve been using automatic gate operator for almost 8 years now, the only maintenance I ever did was to change my battery.

Guess the amount. It’s just 7k!
My gatehouse is just a complete waste.

I use motion sensors too and automatic sprinklers. These things don’t just pack up. Even when they do, just go to Ogunpa market if you’re in Ibadan or Oshodi if you’re in Lagos, those guys can fix anything.

The quantity you’ll need is already in your M&E plan. If you don’t have one, a very good plumber can help you with that.

These stuffs are dirt cheap. N3500 - N6000 depending on thickness and sizes.

I use 6in for the inspection chamber.

Now I get it.

The pics below shows different types of inspection chambers.

The conventional method of using brick, cement and slab (Pic. 1) and then there’s the PVC inspection chamber (Pic. 2 & 4) and of course there’s precast manholes (Pic. 3) too.

If you ask a plumber why he’s using brick, his explanation will be “that’s how it’s done” or “it’s the best way.”

Now ask the same person what can the brick type of inspection chamber do that a PVC type can’t do.
Also considering the time, effort and the installation costs, a PVC inspection chamber is a cheaper alternative and lot more reliable option for modern builds.

It’s pretty easier to install PVC inspection chambers.

You don’t have to break slabs to inspect the chamber in case there’s blockage. You just need to open the lid and that’s it. No stress or sweat.

Take it easy on your plumber. He’s a Nigerian and you sure know a typical naija man has a fixed mindset of “this-is-how-we-do-it”

A typical naija builder believes alternative solutions must be a lot more expensive.

Edit:

I thought you said your plumber has been discouraging you from using it. My apologies for misconstruing your msg.

Give him extra credit for recommending it sir.

You don’t need a chamber. We discussed this some years ago. Go chamberless with T-pipe

Hi, good afternoon.
Please, what material did you use to ace your IELTS like this?
Kindly share.
Thank you

BeuHarry:
What qualification(s) are you trying to evaluate? If it is only B.Sc, please use the waiting time to get one more certificate that can be evaluated.

What of your wife? Hope she is evaluating her credentials too. If she is younger and has a second degree/diploma/certificate, she could become the PA.

If both of us are above 30, you may need to consider learning French to attempt French.

My advise is to get other aspects ready so you can move forward the moment your UI evaluation comes through. This journey can be very long o...

Simulate your points, compare with recent draws and see what your prospects are. You have a nice IELTS result by the way!

The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump will be an unusual event in more ways than one.

It will mark only the third time in American history that a President faces a Senate impeachment trial. The trial is expected to interfere with -- if not halt entirely -- the usual business of the Senate and senators will have to comply with a set of rules that are not usually enforced and that may test their patience.

Official decorum guidelines for the trial released by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's offices say that senators must refrain from speaking while the case is being presented.

In addition to the mandatory silence, the official decorum guidelines say that electronic devices, including cell phones, are not permitted in the Senate chamber during the trial.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas commented that it will "be a new experience for a lot of my colleagues (to) not be able to talk and not be able to consult our email or text messages. But we'll live through it, it'll be alright," adding, "it's obviously a very serious and grave matter so we should be paying attention."

Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer warned lawmakers weeks ago that electronics won't be allowed. Schumer "basically said, just be aware that you won't have your devices, and it'll just be a totally different environment," Casey said, adding, "The rule is no devices on the floor generally, but it will be strictly enforced."

Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, praised the ban on phones as "beautifully old fashion." "I'm glad that we can put these devices down, I'm glad we will be sitting in our chairs, I'm glad that we are going to be focused on what's in front of us at that time. I think it's important, it's beautifully old fashion, and I think we should stick to it," she said.

Senators are also expecting to work on Saturdays during the trial, which will be a change of pace for lawmakers typically able to leave Washington at the end of the week, sometimes as early as Thursday afternoon, to get back to their home states for the weekends. Any work that gets done on Saturdays, though, will likely mean the trial speeds along quicker than it would if the Senate kept to its usual work week schedule.
