Conflicts are inevitable part of our daily living. They do not need to ruin or redefine our relationship with people. They just need to be addressed and resolved rather than allowing our frustrations to build up because issues are not maturely addressed.

I’m not here to discuss who was right or wrong. Who ought to call or not. We just need to move forward.



I understand this hence the reason I didn’t bother to ring you the 3rd time. I could have called earlier but I was on my way traveling that night.

I could have done 1st and 2nd Jan but I know those are days we would be busy with our families and loved ones.



If you ask me as a neutral person, what’s the best way to deal with the issues at hand? I’d say “Have a conversation (one-on-one) with the other person involved.”

Unfortunately my Whatsapp messenger app has been acting funny lately and your request to me was to do a voice note which shows to me you might be busy or not ready for an open discussion.



Avoiding open discussion is not only dysfunctional. It is counterproductive.

When we refuse to communicate, simple misunderstandings often degenerate into long-term and systemic challenges like we are right now....

...speak with the QS
...speak with Mr Fortune
...explain to nairaland


To make things clear, I don’t do “we” against “them” and I don’t assume other people’s position. When issues arise, I deal with them.

Calling a client at 11pm!!! A text saying you just got to your destination and you will call the next day would have been better.

You don't have biz with what he's doing with his family on 1st and 2nd, Just make the damn call please...Stop all of this!

Now this is irritating!

Good afternoon my amazing people.

Thank you for always providing us with helpful advice.

Please, I need advice about a water tank stand. I have power showers in my house and the plumber suggested that I should make the stand 14ft because of pressure.

When I contacted my welder he said it will cost me 280k to get it done. The issue is I don't plan to spend that huge amount on a storex stand.

When I asked around, some people said I should use the normal height and use a pressure pump.

Please, what do you suggest I do to cut cost and still achieve enough pressure and water stand durability.

Thanks

Use a pressure or booster pump to have good pressure BUT your plumber need to confirm that quality pipes are used for the internal water supply line

If not, there will be leakages inside the walls as a result of the pressure.

Scroll back 200pages and its their comments and pics. Their mouth too sharp, any topic they always have a project they have done that is just like it.

Next won't pay a cent infact if he pays a dime of that money the mod should ban me for a year. He didn't pay the previous ones how then will somehow get this one. This is the same time buying tactics just as before.

Clients here only want to patronize the big names eg spyder and the rest but when issues arrises they now want the small names to sort it out for them.

Somehow you have learnt now, properties section has been turned into a cult and they play their script very well.

I am electing myself as the unofficial mod for this section. grin

Two things are involved here.
You want good pressure and you are in tight budget

Follow this step.
Lesser cost of scaffolding at around 150-200k for 10ft or so
Add cost of pressure pump @ 35-45k
Add ruining cost per year let’s say 12k
Total around 265k or so then you have good pressure

Disadvantages
-No light no pressure
-Substandard plumbing work will result to Leakages
-running cost of the pump ( repair, nepa bill)

Advantages
Good pressure
Lesser time to filled up any container or bathing time.


Good hight like 14ft as suggested cost 280k
Advantages
-Zero running cost
-One time cost ( construction cost)
-nearly zero fear of plumbing issue

I will advise you to go for 280k one time spent at 14ft with 0.1-0.5bar water pressure is adequate for you.

Unless you have good plumbing work from beginning then you can think of pressure pump.

I will "close eye" and do the 14ft. But that's me. What about you?

I suggest YOU should go about it this way: find the marginal cost. Find marginal cost ke? Jamb question. The thing simple.

We know that the cost of the 14ft is 280k.

So what is the cost of the "normal stand" ?

So what is the difference between the 14ft and the normal? And then weigh this against the cost of the pressure pump, installation cost and electricity running cost over the lifetime of the pressure pump. If the cost is equal to 280k, jejely do the 14ft. It is cheaper over the lifetime of the project.

For example if the difference between the 14ft and normal stand is 100k and the pressure pump and installation cost is 80k, you are not saving anything. The 14ft is cheaper.

Wow! Thanks for this advice. We used the thickest pipes for the interior. I would have gone for the 280k stand but my budget is very tight and we need to complete the remaining areas of the project and pack there by month end.

If using the normal height with pressure pump will work for me as suggested by the other excellent advisers I think I should follow it. Or what do you suggest?
