Juell:
Take it or leave it, accessing a bedroom directly from a family living is a design flaw. As a married man how comfortable can u be knowing that whatever you do or say can be heard from the next room? Ok, ur cousins, nieces and nephews, in-laws are they not part of ur family, abi they'll not be allowed into the family living? or imagine trying to take a nap and your kids are busy making noise, you go shout "keep quite" tire.
I don't understand why we are more considered on been disturbed than giving immediate access to other rooms like that of children in case of emergency. There are other ways of separating disturbances from master room yet you can access other rooms with better noise control. Sometimes we think we keep them away from us only because we want to have some rest but forgetting what they can do behind us.

I pray am back to field soon.

The trick is the expertise of the block makers. An inexperienced block maker can make 20 blocks and they will still be breaking. But a good block maker will make 40 and they will still be solid.

Also look at this link for more on block making http://amazingviewpoints..com/2014/10/the-technology-of-block-making.html?m=1
The question I asked was why are you producing this quantity and not considering the quality of the items. The man said; 1- the number of time you turn/mixed the components matter most, 2- cement standard eg expire status, 3- sand type etc.

I think am still here sr

Yes pegging the foundation. We use pegs to determine the level of the blinding which the foundation will be on, then spread the pegs on all of the foundation and then get a uniform level on which the whole building can sit on. We do this before we start casting the foundation with concrete.
Thanks. I can understand now. The little time I spent in the system we only take level of the foundation bottom and do same as we are laying the concrete.

That is why we are here. Grateful sr

u want to add sawdust to concrete?
You heard me clear sr. It is a clear question that deserves answer as the case maybe. Sr, how do we produce asbestos material.

This has been tried on brick/block especially non load bearing walls. Roof slab in considerable, careful and professional way. I did that of cube test myself and was considered with pure concrete one. It has head advantage of less weight and low cost to concrete cubes.

Hi guys, I want to ask a question about parapet. In my school day, I experiment a concrete work test by introduce shaw-dust into concrete and was tested OK at a certain proportion.

Introducing perforated blocks will not work out the magic. Perforated blocks are most times limited to exterior/external use for so many reasons(I won't go into details here).

Now to your first sketch:
Your sitting room failed the aeration and light test.
Why would your laundry share wall with kitchen, why do you have to go through the kitchen to the laundry?
Your kitchen do not have an emergency exit door, why?
The list of why seems endless.

Work on your designs. They are not functional.

Thanks.
This is the original plan.

What do you have to say sr.

I actually do not have enough time to peruse your floor plan(sketch) well. The second seems better and a bit functional.
But can you tell me how you intend to throw light into your laundry room(15).
I also don't know why you have to journey that far from the living room to the dinning. You can make a swap for the dinning and kitchen.

Actually so many things to be corrected and adjusted.
Thanks sr

I want to introduce perforated block up above the lintel before ceiling and share light from masters room toilet.

Yes I can swap dinning for kitchen as you said.

My main concern is that the plan looks like face to face building plan. Looking through the passage, you discover what I mean.

Please can you criticize the first one sr. Though there are some adjustment there also

The second one is better. But d walls doesn't look straight. are u sure d dimensions are accurate?
Allow me to say this. I got the plan from Nairaland and love to use it. I sketched the drawing a little just to change the visitors room door and introduced laundry where you see it. It was space on the original plan.

Yes, the dimensions are accurate. The lines are not perfect because; I draw it with pencil, and the image is a snap and past.

Thanks sr

It depends on the design/plan.
Take a look at the this and tell me if it is advisable to use method of digging only outside walls and probably two other center lines that run through master bed room and the one through pallow only. Though there are many adjustment to this place but not a major ones
