Fab work. You and your team are one of the best in Nigeria

kennykane1:
Magnificent piece of work.. You nailed this one too bro!!

ceelog:
Thanks Skimanski. Please if I got you right... the appropriate method is use reinforced concrete columns, do a solid block wall, apply a dpm on floor and walls and pour concrete all around the side walls behind the blocks?

megacontrol:
Wao!
In that case, that's some great utilization of land.
Cheers.

This is also a low tech alternative.

A competent plumber should be able to replicate it using pipes.

Hello,

Pls clarify and confirm.

Thanks

Can you make this sectional and dining? Although I'm not making any of these. They are firmed and super neat. What do you think?

Skimanski, how do you know the difference between faucets that reduce pressure or don't reduce? I have a high tank stand, good pressure outside for my garden hoses but the faucets my plumber installed indoors cause water to barely trickle in. My friend with a similar problem got a pressure pump but now has to deal with leakages like you highlighted.

I like the brightness of the interior but not so impressed overall because of the paint work and few other things. If you look closely, the painting was poor and the ceiling design not good enough. That ceiling design is not something you are going to like seeing after seeing it for the next three years. You get tired of it and it becomes boring. They should have gone for something better. I'm not a fan of using tiles in place of skirting boards. It's very hard in Nigeria to see skirting done with boards. They always go with tiles instead. I don't know why it is so.

The cabinets for the first kitchen were too poor in the sense that they are not the right size when you look at the space from the top of the cabinets to the ceiling level. Just look at the space between the cabinets and the ceiling. Did they convert a gymnasium into a kitchen or what? The kitchen height or head room is ridiculous. The level of the gas cooker is not on same level with the cabinets. The kitchen was poorly done.

No comment on the checkered tiles kitchen.

In all, I rate the finishing 4/10.

FastShipping:
Solved.

FastShipping:
22 feet high. One of the problems is because the faucets are US made. The plumber said they were designed like that to be of low pressure.

peterphd:
Oga skimanski, can you recommend any brands (faucets and the likes) one can get in Nigeria to use? (maybe the pressure regulator). Truly, high overhead tanks scare me.

FastShipping:
I don't like them either. I just did one like few months ago and water pressure was low in one bathroom and kitchen but okay everywhere else. I didn't want the high tank and was going for water pressure pump but my contractor insisted on high water station of 22 feet. At the end, I introduced water pressure pump. The almost 450k water stand turned out to be useless.

Badgers14:
Quick question for you, is there any reason why water tanks are built this high?

Qc1:
Nice One.

ceelog:
Please Skimanski do you think adopting this style for an underground tank for water storage (depth is 10ft and sides are 8ft each) is appopriate? Some people have suggested casting (filling) the sides with concrete after block work and reinforcement instead of just laterite filling.
NB: It's hard solid soil (already excavated for foundation filling.
