mufutau55:They are insulators to prevent heat loss. |

EgunMogaji:Ok let's discus insulation. To insulate is to protect.in the case of building this applies to just to gain heat or reduce heat loss.we won't need that in Nigeria.cos we do not heat our houses. We only try to make our houses cooler.heat do not need any sort of circulation while cooling does.as regards to aircon.so basically all that is needed in the Nigerian home is good ventilation. |

erico2k2: I completely disagree but I'll leave it at that. That's the beauty of self funded projects but for anyone else that is open minded please read up, even the link that Hajji posted. |

erico2k2: Dry wall. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 4:53pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: I know that is why I said it's not good..... in Naija we want to chase out the heat. Insulations good to keep heat inside (Oyinbo country) Insulations good to keep coolness inside (if you are operating constant Air Cooling System) Where is NEPA for this? Thanks. Hajji M. |

EgunMogaji:Ok would you agree the purpose of insulating the house to to conserve e heat? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:35pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: Of course not. The purpose of insulation is to maintain temperature. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FastShipping: 6:37pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: Homes are insulated for the purpose to keep the house warm during winter. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:39pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: That's a shame as they didn't have to, imho There are non powered devices that can evacuate/exchange air efficiently. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:40pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
FastShipping: Homes are insulated to maintain temperature throughout the seasons. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FastShipping: 6:42pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: There is a reason why they don't use insulation in Arizona or Nevada. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:42pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: I don't screed walls so no first hand experience but I just fail to see how this is efficient. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:43pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
I FastShipping: And they actually do. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FastShipping: 6:44pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: They don't. It has to be few. The insulation is to help retain heat in the house during winter time. |

"For all your home Insulation & energy savings needs in Phoenix Arizona. Call Barrier Insulation, Inc. and start $aving money NOW! We are fully licensed, bonded & insured insulation contractors in Phoenix AZ. All work and materials guaranteed." http://m.azinsulation.com Google is littered with insulation companies. I saw with my own eyes track homes bring insulated during my drives through Arizona and Nevada. Not second hand stories but by visiting 1st tier American builders construction sites in those two states. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:47pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
FastShipping: Nope not a few, it's standard practice to insulate homes anywhere in the USA ; Insulation is to help maintain whatever temperature that the homeowner desires. |

You know I promised myself I wouldn't do this. So I'll quit now. So does anyone make wooden driveway gates or has seen one? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by erico2k2(m): 7:12pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
EgunMogaji:this is not a screeding machine its a plaster machine, same thing our plaster man will do yo your wall in Nigeria, have a look again,its raw wall with cement and sand mix. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:13pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: Used the term loosely as I'm not familiar with the process which is similar but nevertheless I don't see the efficiency. I've been around quite a few construction sites and I've never seen one. Have you? |

erico2k2: EgunMogaji: There's a Chinese company around Berger, Lagos that proposed this to me in one of my project. I'll get you the link and the video they sent to me but I just felt it's not worth it. We aren't really ready for this yet. I'll not like to be used as guinea pig |

EgunMogaji:Nop, for all its worth, it was made in India,however I reckon its too slow and I don't see how it will work on outer walls. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:32pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
brabus: It seems like a fair amount of setup time, all the waste which I guess can be collected and reused. I'm all for automation but we have to be reasonable. If we can first get rid of adult men carrying poun poun of concrete mix on their head and old women fetching water then I'll be happy. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by erico2k2(m): 7:34pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
brabus:I was asking one guy on their site, how do we work with this on outer walls as there who be any decking to hold it above .So in practice it would work for internal wall, but come to think of it, there is no rendering on outside walls if you use red bricks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 7:44pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
erico2k2: Naija men sabi improvise. We go work am. Trying to upload the video they sent to me. |

brabus:eheh improvise and spoil the job |

FastShipping: In Nigeria, it has to do with GREED! Its not that our machines cant cut straight but how easy will it be, to cheat a customer, if you sell straight and accurately-dimensioned wood or measures? Even blocks or tonnage sand do not reach the assigned size. Lastpage! 2 Likes |
