Thank you for this

gbadexy:

Quality paint and allied products is my forte but I like to share whatever knowledge that can help in line with the intention for the creation of this great thread by Hajj muftau.
I have seen different manifestations of damp.
If it's as a result of water from outside wall or across toilet and bathroom wall, using water resistant paint would prevent it.
If it's from capillary action of ground water, there is little that can be done from experience. The water would find another path of little resistance to come up if one side is blocked using any means.
If the place is tiled, it can appear as blisters over 6 feet above tiles or even appear in a separate place.
As temperature rises, water turns to vapor and rises up trying to escape and it shows as bubbles that blisters as it pushes the paint cost or even parts of plaster. After a while, it would even weaken and affect the plaster there.
What I have suggested to clients in water prone area is to use paint with low binder and applied lightly in a single coat about a feet below the surface so that ground water escapes through there and it can be repainted occasionally separate from the more expensive paint of different color above it.
I saw something even better in a site I've been engaged to supply paints. They used Tyrolean at the base round the building. This can be made lower and left unpainted round the building. The ground water would escape to the surface easily without affecting the wall or paint above it.
Having outside floor that slopes away from the building and preventing water to accumulate long round the building would also help.
I supply undercoat to seal water but there effectiveness is only where it ends except the whole room would be painted with it before screeding in a building prone to severe damp.

For the roofing woods estimate, this guy - Hslbroker2 used to give estimates but don't know if he's still an active NL user. Procarpenter is active and should also be able to do justice to that too.
For roofing/roofing sheets, Money121 is the household name here.
Please note that I've never done business with any of them, hence the need to still do your due diligence.
All the best.
Can I see the plan of the building and contact me through my signature before call or WhatsApp

Professionals and gurus in the house, please what’s the solution here?, I wasn’t around when this was done, My shower was screwed to the burglary bar, I still want to keep the shower design tho, From what I can see the solution is to shift the window and make it centred with the toilet but I will appreciate y’all’s inputs, Thank you 🙏

If you shift the window, you might spoil the aesthetics of your exterior. The alignment with other windows might be out of place.
It’s not a perfect place to the sliding glass .

Thanks for your response, so what do you think is the solution?, leave it as it is? Change the shower design? (Which I don’t want to) but the sight of the shower being screwed to burglary really irks me, I can’t even put a curtain or a blind over the window or close the window properly, I have to go through the shower.

You can check from outside and see how it’s going to look before you make any changes.

All these artisans sef. They should have brought your attention to the outcome before installing.

Note, there is no perfect solution.

First, dismantled the glass partition.

If you've tiled the floor chisel out the tiles and run a course of blocks on the floor on the same line the glass partition was. So, when you install back the glass partition, it will be taller than the window.

At the top of the window, (parallel) run a 4×4 poline, the same length of the window where you can screw the glass partition instead of the window. This will leave a gap between the window and the glass partition for you to hang and run a toilet window curtain.

Thank God no loss of life. The Galvanised pipe is not suitable for the amount of load.H-pipe or oil field pipe are highly recommended in such situations.

I'm never a fan of galvanised pipes for water tower.
