diordaves:I did go with this... even from the nature of the crack one can tell wether it's the culumn that is moving or the walls around it. if the cracks is wider at the top of the beam then the walls are the one settling but if it's wider at the bottom then the culumn is the one settling base on static geometry 1 Like |

qwertyboss: You are not correct please!! A beam/column and foundation connected monolithically is a frame structure regardless of the construction procedure. More so, a "frame" structure in your terms does not settle uniformly when isolated footings are used without foundation beams. There is always that risk of differential settlement when isolated footings are used. And that is why your pad sizes must be adequate to limit it. Thank you |

yungmin:in our case, how is the beam and column monolithically connected when the pillar is moving away from the beam? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by yungmin: 2:06pm On Apr 05, 2021 |
qwertyboss: This is poor construction or detailing. It is not supposed to be that the column would separate from the beam. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by qwertyboss(m): 2:14pm On Apr 05, 2021 |
yungmin:that's my point, am only referring to this particular scenario as not a frame structure because it behaves not as one... |

@Gbadexy Why is the paint job on my fence fading faster than what’s on the building? I’ve had to repaint the fence 3 times in 8 years and haven’t had to repaint the main building at all since it was painted 8 years ago. I know the same quality of paint was used on the walls though we used Grafitex paint and stone wall tiles on the lower part of the building but the upper part had the same emulsion used on the fence. I’m already feeling like repainting the fence the 4th time ![]() What could be the reason why the fence is fading faster? _______ Pic 1 | Current pic of the building. Never retouched or repainted. Pic 2 - 3 | Paint job on the fence 8 years ago and current look after 3rd retouch.

EgunMogaji2: He might be right though cos I just realized that we screeded all the external walls prior to painting except the fence. I’m guessing the screeding helped the cheap paint. Abolarin91: This is also not impossible. ______ Pic - screeded wall prior to painting 1 Like

Bro. The effect of weathering and rain on the surface. The main house is protected by the roof shade and impermeability or wash of rain water. Back in the old days, our forefathers used to build little roof over the fence to protect it from climate. BrabusNG: 2 Likes |

Hi Fam, Please, I need some information. 1. Is it tiling before doors or doors before tiling 2. I don't like flooring the whole compound. I love greenery. Can I floor the driveway alone and use artificial grass for the other places? 3. Which is better artificial or natural grass? Thank you! |

henrymor: Tiling before door.
Yes, you can. You own the house and you’re at liberty to do whatever pleases you.
Both are good but they serve different purposes. If you’re like me who don’t have time to do lawn, I’d advice you stay with artificial grass. It’s not easy maintaining a lawn. Not cheap either. 1 Like |

henrymor:bro it's doors before tiling. The tiler will use the level of the door for his work thereby ensuring there's no unnecessary gap below. Another thing is that you don't have to deal with breaking the tiles to fit the door. This is my limited experience with working with doors and tilers. Some probably have an improved idea 4 Likes |

michlins: Iron doors right? With wooden doors, I won’t even fix my doors until after painting. The subframes alone will suffice. No stains, no worries. |
