spyder880:Considering the level of ground water, will it not be better to cast the septic tank rather than using block work? |

oga spyder, going places. How are you doing today? your guy has been busy lately. Will your clients be interested in our concrete stamping designs as their landscaping? I've got alot to discuss with you, will fill you in in due time. Junapril |
Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by spyder880(m): 12:56pm On Oct 20, 2013 |
Junapril: oga spyder, going places. My man, I can see you have been busy, I will ask my client about the concrete stamping for the rest of the property, we plan to leave a large portion of the compound as a green lawn, using a lawnmower to trim it every now and then. I am sure he will read this anyway. |

Leaving a large portion of the compound is a great way to do landscaping. It beautifies the whole environment and bring the natural feel with blends with all other landscaping feautures. Check some of our landscape jobs with lots of green areas. 1 Like

spyder880: We started the septic tank works behind the house today. Spyder, I am a bit confused here: - You said the Oga at the top HAD already settled ALL Local Government fees and State fees and even area-boys fees. right ![]() - Why do you have to sink a 'septic tank' ![]() -Will it not be cheaper to connect to the PortHarcourt Central Sewage Line ![]() Also do you plan to link up to the Portharcourt Municipal water system as the water should be better treated compared to the borehole ![]() |

megainvest: This is NOT about me. These people paid so much to State/Local Governments to get 'planning approval' for construction, yes ![]() What do they get and why would the 'authority' have the conscious to seal you construction site when you don't pay ![]() Where is the Central Sewage line ![]() where is the pipe-borne water ![]() where is the road ![]() This is what planning permission is all about. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. It pains my heart to see Spyder (and others ofcourse) spending millions on soak-away pit and Borehole etc All you need is to connect your sh.it to the government abi ![]() |

Yea, it's good to be a part of this learning team (Distant Learning) ![]() Spydee, you have changed entrepreneurship with your 'no bars' approach to teaching and passing on of your years of experience (most of which you earned the very hard way) at no cost to us your students - both real and virtual student. This I greatly express my gratitude. I do hope that one of the aims your are doing this is to increase our confidence when we start our own personal house projects; You would want to see us been able to identify the various classes of rods and their basic usages; the cement:stone:water ratios for various needs and components of a building project; the various sizes of granite and their applications as well as understanding the very basic aspects of building. One passionate appeal I will want to make of you is this: You have discovered the sources of quality building materials as well as house finishing features market of PH and it's environs You have also discovered/assembled the winning team of craft men - POP team, Welders, Masons, Tilers, Electricians, Aesthetics, e.t.c Please, do also be kind to share these contacts with us when we do need them. You are truly a human 'Spyder' - your web is wide and far reaching. All the very best. |

gtrust:Bros naija is so messed up that you sound so much like an Alien or someone that dropped from the sky! Honestly, You are 101% right but the naija we know, have, and been living in lost most of this your options in the 70/80s! As a matter of fact, lost the central water line. The rest never existed. Sewage? Watin be that? Millions of Nigerians even those that are at least 40+yrs old will ask you what that is! Most never ever heard of that word. 1 Like |

prince_onx: Bros you are correct, in all my years as a man born and brought up in Nigeria, the only places I have heard about sewage is in foreign books, stories. It has never existed here to the best of my knowledge. |
Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by spyder880(m): 3:34am On Oct 23, 2013 |
gtrust: I feel you bro, but in reality there is no government in Nigeria. What we have here is a bunch of men who climbs to power with the sole aim of amassing wealth at all cost without any plans to help the society around them. The money paid to government for approval is not for them to provide any amenities, they share the money most of the time, if you dont pay, you will never be allowed to build. That is the sad reality here. I had commented about the situation earlier in another thread, in Nigeria, if you intend to build a house then you assume the role of a mini-government. You will have to provide your own access road to your site, work on the gutters, do a drainage, buy your own poles and cables to draw a power line for electricity, (and while you're at it remember to buy some heavy duty generators as light is not guaranteed even if you pay a premium for it) sink your own borehole, mount an overhead tank, employ your own security, etc etc. Its a sad situation really. 1 Like |
