Itsrm: To be honest, I didn’t see that comment. This means the client is not at fault. If I give you money to buy me a 3ft door, I expect a 3ft door and not something less. The explanation given won’t fly with me because I understand what’s at play. The vendor is trying to reduce offcuts/wastages on the job which is fine but I shouldn’t be made to pay for that. I do give my workers instruction not to cut my plywood but I won’t tell them to reduce the decking size because I don’t want to use more boards. I provide them alternatives to use when I want to minimize wastages. 2 Likes |

Good day All and trust your day is progressing well. Please what can one add to a soakway to douse the odor emanating from it? the soakaway is not full just to make it clear but the odor comes out from the vent ontop of the soakaway. I am wondering if there are chemicals or freshners that can be placed in the soakaway or vent to douse the order? We learn everyday and the knowledge shared will be beneficial to the society.

bobkezel: You not getting it, it's even wrong for an engineer to create an opening of 900mm when the door specification is also 900mm, That is the principle that makes all engineers allow tolerance of an inch or more to allow for proper installation for either doors n Windows. So it's wrong to even reduce the size of the door he is fabricating except he was told or he measured the as-built n the opening itself is 900mm already. I will not accept the door as well but let's acknowledge that it has happened n only him can still make this go away ASAP by he said he won't let his self esteem or so down n that's where there is issue. I will suggest to him to always prepare a drawing or detailed sketch for doors n some other things he does to avoid more occurence. Lot of learning still has to be done when you are dealing with clients that knows what they want 6 Likes |

michlins: Apologies let me ask you this question....... I can see that from the client's post of the door sent as mounted on the provided space the mortar chalking space is about 2-3" on the left side and on the right it's lapping on the wall. Please can you help read the dimension on the tape as shown on the pix as to where the door ends on it............ Thanks |

PAPAFEELERS: Like someone said, it's not recommended to tamper with the chemistry. The soakaway is working as it should. Apart from changing the occupants' food diet (lol), what I would do if this was mine is to find a way to source and then place activated carbon filters around the vent. Something like this (dunno if you can find in Nigeria) .... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Activated-Carbon-Odour-Filter-Joseph/dp/B07XLP7RKG/ This will involve a mini-project to design a fitment or box around the vent that keeps the filter dry during rainy conditions. Also note that they are to be replaced periodically, once saturated (you will notice when smell reappears). Interval depends on the, ahem, occupants' diet. Good luck. 1 Like |

PAPAFEELERS: Block the vent on the septic tank and get your plumber to run another vent to a safe place outside your fence or on the roof. Any space higher than the roof will keep the smell away. 4 Likes 1 Share |

PAPAFEELERS: #. You can pour in baking soda and vinegar to kill the odour for some months or even year(s). You can clean the vent pipe on the inside. It is possible the vent is a bit blocked causing not enough air inlet into the soakaway to aid the breakdown of enzymes. Just like cars; if your spark plugs have issues, your car will smoke. #. You can use a P-Trap for the vent pipe instead of the normal one and pour water into it. The water prevents the odour from coming out. See attached photo. #. I guess the soakaway is built wrongly. Both toilet waste and kitchen/bathroom waste should not go into one chamber. This causes steam up during hot weather leading to smell. If your toilet waste is going into a dedicated chamber, seal the vent. You will be fine. But then, the odour will now come out in the toilet wash hand basin and even kitchen sink. If this happens, use a P-Trap connection. See attached photo. The water in the U area of the P-Trap prevents the odour from coming out just like your WC. 1 Like

@michlins sorry to say... You goofed on this one She asked for something with specifications. You did not deliver to her specifications. She had conversations with you which you could have managed properly... You still did not do that. She was angry (I myself would) and said unprintable things to you... What did you do in response? Talk back at your client. I have been one of your number one fan here from your day one when people thought you were a middle man and had no faith in you. This is what I would love you to do. (If you would listen) Ask the client what she would like you to do to remedy the situation. When she does. Please do it.... Don't see it as a loss, see it as a way to grow Madam Eyinne, please forgive him and find a way forward. Dont out of anger spend another 300k... It would be double painful. 4 Likes |
