diordaves: A house is an investment, if you live in it or rent it out. Simply because in most cases it’ll be sold for more than it was purchased for. 1) You probably know this but not everyone in the abroad borrows to build. Though it’s in their best interest to borrow so they can collect the tax benefits. 2) One of the worst mistake I made in my USA sojourn was not looking back towards Nigeria for 20 years after I left. A lot of lost opportunities. Canuck bound folks should listen to you, but they won’t � 3) Abroadians should sha just look at my signature � 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Is it ok to lay four blocks for foundation? Does it have any negative effect? |

fabulous85: To your first question, yes, the size of your room should determine the number of tiles to get as you want the whole area covered. To your second question, it depends on your taste for sizes and quality. 40 x 40 are becoming obsolete in designs, for me 60 x 60 tile should be used. 1 Like |

n3xt: Hehe he, ahh so your client they supervise you from here. Sorry my bad. I lost my arithmetic for a while. I was testing my son on his unit conversions when it occurred to me what I had typed here some hours earlier and because I feared someone could make reference to it and make some poor judgement I quickly had to rush back and retract. Abeg no vex. 1cm thick glass can take some impact as well as resist considerable point load some distance from its support. That said, it is still glass and breakable, as such you will need to take precautions (safety is the essence of Design) and ensure that there are no Windows overlooking the roof from which someone could drop a phone, plate etc; or a tree that could grow so tall in future and its branch over the glass roof. Carry on my Brother. I am a safety freak ![]() |

Pompoms: Sure you can change your concept or use of a finished or on-going building at any time. But once the Architects are done redesigning, make sure your structural engineer also redesigns the structural elements. This equally applies even when the changes involves just a small section of an ongoing construction. 1 Like |

MrDraey: This is Kajola #1 - N1.6M pre Covid. Kajola #2 was N2M post Covid. Kajola is 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom smartflats joined together. So effectively a 4 bedroom. I don't think it can be done but where there's a will, then there's a way. Maybe you collect your own sand from gutter/road/street, fetch water from nearby street/pothole, mould your own blocks, your Sisters Cousin Aunties friends will sell you cement at cost or even discounted, you'll use church/moshalashi free labor ![]() Good luck on your project. 3 Likes
