EgunMogaji2: They live there because that is what builders convinced them. May Not be necessarily what they want.open plan is anesthetically pleasing but may not be suitable for everyone....I still prefer my kitchen to be separated from living room and that does not mean one is living in olden days... 6 Likes |

dongc: We have a healthy custom home industry in the USA. My house in Texas was not a spec home but a totally custom build. As far as preference, why would I say that you are living in the olden days? That is exactly the point I am making. We all have different choices but to abuse those that differ from you is unsound. In my opinion. To be clear , open or closed, don't matter to me. Just doin';t be going off telling me that it's a regrettable choice. I'm done on this subject matter. |

Barrmary: Oh that’s five. I thought it was a Lagos project. So you think he can’t get a new 40ft length 4inches new pipes in the market? That thickness is not something you easily see around. Not to talk of the length. Also please the first time you replied and said hope he’s not welding else I should go for the H-beam, please what do you mean by this? It’s just a personal thing though. I’d rather prefer a welded H-Beam to a welded pipe And should I put the Steel overhead tank into consideration instead of the GP tanks I instead to use? You should be fine with GeePee Tanks. But if your budget allows it, Steel Overhead Tank is not bad either. You can even go for a Braithwaite Overhead Tank. ![]() Thanks so much Boss and I appreciate your time you take in replying my questions. You’re welcome! 1 Like |

Barrmary:sir, I will tell you from experience as a welder. You are better off with H channel. This is same thing used in making steel bridges. Don't ever try anything pipe because it will definitely retain water. And no matter how thick the iron is, with long exposure to water and other atmospheric factors, it will rust. Having said that, you can make your decision yourself. BTW, you don't need 40ft for a two storey building. At best, you need 35ft tall tank 1 Like |

Barrmary: I guess he's taking from his own experience. I don't know if 4" / 10mm pipes will carry 4 tanks of maybe 2000L each.. but I'm sure H-beam of the right thickness and build will carry it. I think you're better off with a steel tank of say 6,000- 8000 litres if you have some few millions to spend. |

rotecch77:/ You are right. Building designs should be tailored to the culture and environment of the location. Eg. Burglar-proofs are normal in Nigeria but weird in many other places just as people in other places do not surround their houses with prison walls and barbed wires. With epileptic power supply in Nigeria, will you turn on your generator to provide good artificial ventilation and air circulation each time you are cooking and have visitors in the parlour? / 4 Likes |

Sorry I am unable to advise you on water stand. It is the most bitter experience in my project . The family member I asked to do mine shopped the money. Had to give it to somebody else to finish it for me. Good luck. Its going to be a very good house when you finish it. Barrmary: |

My two cents to this discussion is that you need good amount of space to do open floor concept. Indian and south American food smell as much as ours. Also be sure you are on ground to supervise it yourself or have a 3D design of the inner building. My architect design open concept kitchen/dinning/living room . when they build the house they wall it off. When I asked them to break it open they just cut a window. I had to asked them to let it be. The concept is not yet well understood by most builder/engineer in Nigeria. InvertedHammer: 3 Likes |

Barrmary: On this crucial structure I’ll defer to the pros. I used pipes but it will be coming down in the near future because I’ll be using a ground based Storex with a pressure pump. Good luck on your project. |
