megacontrol:You may add a drum of pop emulsion paint alone with 3 drums quantity size of mixed plaster sand/cement mix and plaster with it. Since it's not a structural component, you may try first on a section of the security post but I know it would give a better smoother finish. Caveat: I'm no authority in the construction industry but my post is based on my experience producing and supplying white cement/gypsum cement filler mix as dried powder ready to use and graffitex. There are different ratios of sharp/smooth sand to powder fillers to give varying degree of smoothness. It may interest you to know that graffitex is basically mixture of powder filler and very smooth marble dust that is a bit smoother than plaster sand and adjusting the ratios would give varying degrees of smoothness. 3 Likes |

megacontrol:I don't know your location,so I can't say much about your Sand types (different location with different Sands) but try 1:6 mixing ratio, tell your Masons to re-shine the wall smoothly when they're about to brush their Work(finishings). 1 Like |

Here's a YouTube link to a video of a good job done by a painter in the east supplied by gbadex/regal paint to by a member on this thread.

rotecch77:well that's from the angle of view but the ideal distance for two tanks is 6ft by 7ft. The size of the bottom of 2,500 gallons is 4.5ft at most. Two of such is approximately 9ft. Now the load bearing units are 6ft apart and the projected part is 2ft at both sides culminating to 10-11ft space. The extra 1-2ft is for the plumber to be able to move around and do the connection. This way, majority of the load is on the channels which act as pillars making the tank firm and sturdy. The weight of the water is transferred directly to the foundation. This is how I work though 1 Like

michlins: This your Design is nice and I termed it as cantilever system. Both this and the one I showed up there will work very well. The load from the tank will go straight to the 4 top round H beam ( this stand as the beam) then the load from the beam will then transfer to the standing 4 H beam ( Column) then this will now go straight to the foundation……

This is a lean concrete mix( 1:4:6) with poor strength. Don't use this mix if you are constructing storey building. Kobokobo build should NOT be a death trap. olukaygold: 4 Likes |

somehow:. Well if u are familiar with most of the land in this axis (lacampagne) directly from the family you'll know it the buyer that does that bringing his surveyor to chart up the land and making sure the land doesn't fall under government aquisition (which is what most Realtors around here do) then the buyer proceed to make payment to the family before embarking on getting any Title on the land. P.S: I only sell land that belongs to family as their land agent. Thank you |

Rotecch77, I want to believe you have settled with your client offline? Next time, do everything you can to avoid bringing (Client vs Engineer) online. If you think I dey lie, go ask Brabus or N3xt. The internet never forgets. Some of this issues could have been resolved amicably offline. You see ...you win some and you lose some... That's business. Just so you know...this little fiasco will taint and will put holes in your reputation, Which will make many possible future clients (especially in diaspora) to think twice before dealing with you. Always ask yourself ...Do you want to win the battle or the war? BTW: I fight with my engineer on site daily (well, he is not onsite daily). He resents my guts because I'm not easy to deal with but still a good client... �. Know your customer. They are your best way to advertise... Why am I writing this? .....Well, I was considering you for an assignment before but was disappointed to see how this escalated. No love lost. Just make sure your clients can write good reviews about you. 3strikes!!! 6 Likes |

Aforxzy:if you can afford 1:2:4 from foundation to Parapets;Good..but Before you can conclude on the type of Mixing ratio to follow,You need to firstly know the strength you wanted to achieve, different Mixing ratio with different strength for different Work.I manage materials depending on the type of Work and Project Im handling and I cut-short Materials where there're Options to and non of my clients ever complain there's a Wall crack or slight Pop crack in any of my Projects. This is my Ongoing kobokobo Project with less than 4m budget. it's a mini flat Bungalow that consists of 1sittinh room,1bedroom,1bathroom/Toilet,1kitchen,1 laundry room, front door and emergency/escaped door.
