Please guys advice needed on the septic tank and soak away. The septic tank has been casted and plastered on all sides but the engineer said we shouldn't plaster the sides of the soak away that it's a waste of money while some other people are suggesting it's to be plastered that water is supposed to drain only from the ground of the soak away. If not it will weaken the hollow blocks faster in years to come. Thanks for advice

Thanks. We would increase it.
Osinachiadinma:
It would be better to make both doors 4ft or swap their sizes. The current positions and sizes will limit the size of things that can enter your house via your sitting room such as furniture and house appliances. The easiest and safest thing will be to increase the 3ft to 4ft and that will be nice ~ my opinion

Thanks Haji, we are actually digging the soak away so we can fill back the sand into the foundation,which was completed today. As for his stipend, I didn't let him spend as he was staying with me during the 6days work before he traveled yesterday to attend to his family. We would use water supply in the compound of the blue tank in the picture to still water it.He will be back for German floor and setting out block wall soon. It's expensive to build o. I wonder how people survive it lol.

On a good soil that even Strip footing can be used, 6-8m to screeding while on a not too good soil where Raft can be used, 8-10m and on a bad soil where deep foundation such as Pile can be used, whew, 12-18m depending on the depth of pile. For more analysis breakdown, you can reach me on

Yes you have spoken the mind of the elders. Igwe is also aware of this development and has suggested we engage the village town crier immediately. Let's gather on the next Eke market day to complete the sacrifice with the foreigners head. I greet you my elders.

Gringo, If you want, l can sell Ojo Millitary Cantonemnet to you. It is our family land. shocked
It is a very big expanse of land and you will like it.
You need to pay the 'advance agreement' price of $200,000 first and $5,000 for processing and stamp duty.

Can 9 inches block be used for foundation. Then after DPC you can use 9 and 6
topsy23:
9" block is the best for foundation

sand mortar (1:6) 136square meter,@ the cost of 5000 per sq meter,
