We actually put our machines on the floor and shift it to different positions to hasten up work. The workers just need to spread..

EgunMogaji: Please use wireless. Minimum IP66 for externals, with 600TVL and above Day and Night Cams The advantages are many: No wall drilling No lengthy and sometimes unsightly cables Probability of cable breakage is zero Cost effective Easy to reposition cameras at will (very important) and many more That is what l installed in my own house and l did it by myself (okay, l have experience in such stuff but it is still very easy to do) They both work same way. Everything is most 'plug-and-play' nowadays. ![]() The problem with Nigeria is just the "Bandwidth capacity" that may slow transmission down, causing 'lagging', especially if you need to view from say a foreign country or when on the move, like l do but you can overcome those as well. The only thing ...and this is very important.... that you need to worry about if doing it yourself, is in the area of Security/Safety. Your Data (Camera feed to Video monitors) have to be encrypted properly otherwise, its like you are exposing yourself to the 'bad world'. Dont ever use OEM passwords. Change them regularly (to forestall compromise), store them securely (you will surely forget) and use strong passwords. A Cisco Router will help you in terms of Security/Encryption. You can even get used ones (say from those upgrading to higher specs) that will do your job effectively. Lastpage! 1 Like |

KolaShangOne: I am very interested in this method of slab construction though l dont have the know-how. I have raised the issue in a thread about two years ago and no one seem to know much about it as well and l think its a problem of knowledge otherwise, it is something that should be embraced. Do you have "online" reading references you can refer me/us to, so we can do a little read-up on it. I will personally like to witness "How It is Done" on a building when it gets to that stage, for practical knowledge. I should be doing a house in about a year or two and would not mind incorporating that method as l can see the numerous advantages already. I still wonder how it is that the Pots dont fall down vertically when the wooden support is removed? ![]() Can you please throw some light on this? Lastpage!

lastpage: I don't know how I missed this message. I did do some research with Abdulwastecx privately thru Whatsapp on using this option for my decking. But I am scared to go thru with it. Abdulwastecx actually knows about the procedure on how to do it but he said although the whole thing will cost less than the normal decking but the clay is not easy to obtain. There will be less iron rods and cement/sands to be used with the clay so it cost less. I also did some research on internet and understood how it's done and some heavy projects have used it and using successfully. But I do not want to be the test person for it. Although I still have not done the decking and still considering my options. I will invite Abdulwastecx to come and join this discussion and give us more lessons. He said cost savings of about 30-40% of cost to normal decking. This is the procedures for Ribbed Slabs as analyzed by Abdulwastecx: 1. The formwork is put in place (decking wood). 2. The suffice wood is marked for the position of clay block and ribbed beam at interval, say 450mm center to center. The clay block dimensions been 300 x 300 x 200mm And ribbed slab been flanged with the following dimensions Ribbed height = 250mm, width of flanged (bf) = 450mm Web width (bw) = 150mm 3. The clay block are placed parallel to the direction of the ribbed slab and interlocked. 4. The reinforcement is then placed inside the ribbed beam 5. The concrete is poured from the top. 6. The concrete will not get to the bottom of the clay block but since the block is interlocked in-between the ribbed and the clay block no problem and since the clay block doesn't contribute to concrete strength, it only help to reduce concrete volume and reinforcement 7. Later after striking of formwork the suffice (underneath of the block is render or plaster to cover the clay blocks). Note: For further reading do a search for "Ribbed Slab" on Google. cc: @Abdulwastecx Hajji M. 1 Like

EgunMogaji: Well, positioning of the primary Router and secondary Access points can come-in handy at that though concrete will dampen the signal more than wood. but then, its just a small distance between the cams and the Devices. In my case, it was within solid, block walls (Nigeria) and it was okay. Lastpage! |

mufutau55: Thanks Hajji M for the info. I will do some reading-up on it. I saw a Multi-Storey in V/I some two years back while driving-by and l could see the Clay pots as they used it on each deck! I was just wondering how it is done! I am sure the process has been perfected (Cappa and D'Alberto was the one doing the Building l saw) otherwise, they wont be using it. But one has to be exactly sure of "How it is done" before attempting such. I wont try it except l am absolutely sure of the process but l am sure as we have shown interest, those who are building right now might try it out once we all can master the process involved. Thanks, Lastpage! |

lastpage: You are right. And until individual contractors start doing it like normal decking, you won't see many ordinary people like me attempting it. If I can afford company like Cappa and D'Alberto, I won't be scared of doing it at all. It's been used everywhere, and I read more about it in India even. Especially for the less weight and cost savings, it will be a good alternatives if the clay is abundantly and readily available. Thank you for the contribution. @KolashangOne, please update us more with your knowledge on this. Hajji M. |
