I was on a piling project somewhere on the island in Lagos. The operators were steadily scheming ways to avoid getting to the required depth before casting. On one occasion, at about 18m, he told me he was done, I was distracted on this particular day so I wasn't really following up on what he was doing. I didn't argue. I told him to go ahead and cast. My security guy came to me and asked me why they were about to cast (before now, I had explained to him how many pipes needed to be drilled before they achieve the required depth of 21m, and that he should always inform me if he notices anything otherwise). I told him the operator said he was done with drilling. He disagreed, and told me they had one more pipe to go. I got mad and went to the operator. The operator denied and started raining abuses on my security. Things got heated up and a fight almost broke out between the operator (and his labors) and my security (and his brothers). From soil test result, @ 18m, we were good, but I needed to ensure that if the operator cheated, he shouldn't think of attempting it again. I allowed him cast, after giving him a stern warning. Then I doubled my surveillance on his activities. A few days later, he did the most. I caught him red handed this time. Story for another day These workers can be terrible. 22 Likes |

Hello house, I have this leakage issue on my roof slab. Like, water penetrates through the slab. I have removed the tiles on it and re screeded the surface with mortal. There were tiny cracks all over the surface. These cracks were treated with crack fillings painstakingly one after the other. And the next day, applied bituminous paint on the area. To my dismay, after some days, the cracks resurfaced, such that I could see it through this thick coat of my 'felt' material. I feel though, the heat from the sun could be part of the reason for this. Or the crack fillings were not properly done. I really need suggestions on how to tackle these tiny cracks before the rain. Thank you all. Let me try to get some pictures CC: spyder880

I doff my hat boss spyder880 . Nice job. Following keenly. I have a question on door installations tho. Say, I don't want to use sub-frames, (i'm using 'foam gums' /glue). I insert small 2x3 woods by the sides of the door opening and dress to aid adhesion with the door frames. My installer tells me that the wood is unnecessary as the glue can stick the door to the walls directly. I have my doubts, so I asked my bricklayer to go ahead with fixing the small woods (just in case my installer was wrong)... So my question now is, can the door frames stick to the walls directly without those woods in between? |

nextstep: This is what we did. Chiselled d beam well enough, stretched the rebar outward, applied heat to the pipe to get it flexible, passed it through the stretched rod, readjusted the rod and then plastered. Thank you once again. |

akinolaolujide:Thank you Chief. Advise duely noted. Structural integrity before aesthetics. So whts d use of factor of safety incorporated @ d design stage for each structural member. Shouldn't it b able to cover for such, Giving that all members are systematically connected to each other from roof to foundation. [Would such cutting disintegrate the entire structural connection] Besides that part is far away from the 'max stress point", of the said beam which supposedly has been reinforced. Pls enlighten me sir. |
