rotecch77: Nice..very nice...I was thinking if one is to build a house worth #10m, he pays 12.5% which is #1.250m for 'professional fee' like I just heard, I almost fainted, I haven't done or heard that one before. I'm accepting yours. It's well. |

Focusmind: Well, you are the man for a reason, to consult her widely with your spouse but to take the final decision, in the best interest of the family. But l also know that the westernised women are not easy to convince, talk-less of control to do something she does not want, even if it is for her own good. so you have a battle on your hands. Try and show her the disadvantages of such elevation, for example, ask her how she would feel, if one of your children tripped over it while carrying some dishes after food, hit his/her head against a sharp edge of the step down stairs (God forbid) and died? I have seen people, women especially, die from tripping, slipping and falling in the bath-tub, despite the husband saying l dont want a bath-tubs in the bath, because of the danger of slipping!. Ask her how she will feel, make it very graphic so she can imagine it in her head. And finally, add that you will hold her responsible forever , if she insists on having it and an accident happens. Let it sink-in. We should not just copy what others are doing, just because they are doing it. A house with children cannot be designed exactly the same with a house where only young guys are living or where all the children are adults. Moreover, since this is a personal house, most people dont consider their "old age", when they design their houses. Some old people are sleeping in the guest room downstairs now, because they placed all the master bedrooms upstairs and now that they are in their eighties, they are too old and weak to be going up and down the stairs, each time they want to navigate between kitchen and bedroom. Same thing with this issue of elevated dinning area. Time will come when no one will even be eating from that spot, it will be between small side table and the Soffa. I hope you will be able to convince her as l can already sense that its a challenge. 7 Likes 1 Share |

saydfact:Thanks for your response. The sand dealer said there are about 3 different sand they use as filling. The one we used for casting is sold at over ₦40,000 for 20 tons. She said we don't need that expensive grade for filling, but we can get one around ₦30,000 to fill ahead of ground slab (German floor) What's your take and what would you recommend? |

elengine: I take it you don't want to install a bath, so it is the traditional Nigerian wet room. IF the tiling is done right, there is little chance of leakage. So you MUST bevel the tiling (floor) towards the drain. So water flows swiftly towards the drain and water doesn't gather on the floor after each bath. With this arrangement and the right kind of cement slurry during tiling, there should be no leakage. However, if you think your decking was done badly, introduce (nylon) membrane while tiling. But this is truly not necessary. 5 Likes |

diordaves: The size and shape of the bathroom also plays a significant role. If it is square in shape, the shower can be at the opposite corner of the Basin or the Basin and the WC can be opposite each other while the Shower is at the other end of the two of them. |

lastpage: Well said my brother. I have done all I could but she has seen her friends houses with such elevations and she liked them. As for me, I will go ahead with all flat/level living room/dining room arrangement. I am the man! You made a point with master bedroom been upstairs. My master bedroom and visitors bedroom downstairs are of equal standards with large windows and closet. When old age beckons, the visitors room will become my masters The Visitors room will also serve as a place of rest for me or where I could spend calm moments for myself. That's how I planned it. It is not just a normal visitors room, it is a multi-purpose room downstairs with mini library. From the kitchen, you enter the visitors room straight. She expressed reservation why guests should first pass through her kitchen side to their room, but I had old age in mind when I did the design. At old age, the kitchen and the person's sleeping room becomes the most important parts of the building to the aged. For any visitor to stay in that visitors room, you must merit it. Not any how person. |

Kimsunh: May i know the size of your building? If it is a duplex the quantity of copper tape is much and 20mmx3mm should be okay for a residential building. The cost of earth rod is much. Arrestor is also costly. For more information on the earthing and bonding, You can visit our thread. https://www.nairaland.com/2316228/importance-proper-earthing-bonding-system/3 |
