Sorry Sir, why i can not disagree with you on privacy, i must say that you are benefiting from others that are kind to showcase their projects. Its kind of one sided relationship. Privacy is relative, and there are ways you can share your project without sharing your identity or location. God continue to bless you and all. 4nobody4every1: 5 Likes |

mufutau55: I noticed that Bamboo is widely used in construction and building support in Nigeria, i wandering the bamboo is really good for the supporting works, are they easy to broken and fall when using, right? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by abdulwastecx(m): 8:31am On Mar 29, 2016 |
lucien4scaffold: Bamboo is a very strong member when subjected compressive axial force. Bamboo is much stronger than any alternative 2 x 4 wood ( 50mm x 100mm) you can get. Bamboo is also relatively cheaper than other alternative. Bamboo is best use for temporary supportive work like decking supportive pole where it carries vertical load longitudinal to its axis and other work like for scaffolding. In these work, they are discarded after use since they can't be joined and reuse after use(though, with better joinery techniques they can read used). 1 Like |

erico2k2: Doing it somewhat differently. I got 3 paid estimates. Approached my builder whose work I trust and offered him what I thought was prudent based on the three paid estimates. He's only supplying the workforce and know how. I am supplying all the materials and equipment. I am working from full architectural plan which includes structural plans that's not even required for bungalows in my city. But better to be safe than to be sorry. I erred completely on the side of safety during this build. Just rented concrete mixer and engineer - N15k I can't possibly sleep tonight ![]()

lastpage: diordaves: You really broke it down into the nitty-gritty! I deliberately avoided doing that because l know his "reaction to being corrected or any form of positive criticisms" (too self-concious) but then, we all owe it a duty to our fellow-man, to highlight areas of deficiency, especially when DIY is involved so that we can avoid "sorry-tales" in the future. Lekki Gardens fiasco is all too recent @Brabus, pls come and advice your 'pliend' o, you are Builder and he should at least listen to your own advice, ...chicken-coop or mansion not-withstanding, , structural stability is still essential. ![]() Lastpage! 5 Likes |

agarawu23: My chairman, though you may not agree with him but not everyone has the thick skin that I have and use to deal with certain inconsequential sectors of mouth breathers that we have on here. That's the unfortunate situation that the internet affords to internet cowards that sits behind their keyboards and cycles between multiple userids like the forum queens that they are. Sharing ones project means many things to many people. For me, I'm not looking for critique or acceptance. Just basically sharing though I'm open to intelligent viewpoint from specific folks who are not just writing a bash fest to stroke their feminine egos. ( Eyin agba lesowipe, eni to bama funni lasowo, ti orun re lakowo). To others sometimes they do yearn for that feedback from demonstrated builders. By the way, thanks for the vendor recommendation, I was impressed by the healthy respect he has for you. 3 Likes |
