Like seriously do you care about bad mouthers? I doubt you can survive politics section then but don't u think critics will let u know your weaknesses?

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.

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?

Read above... Oga Abdulwastecx already answered your question. Bamboo is very strong, especially when it is dried.

It's nice to see your project waxing on at full steam at that. It's always going to be challenging managing a project from overseas.

Taking a look at your current pix of your project, I can recall sometimes back you bounced it off the house on how to re-enforce a particular section of your project- I think a retaining wall or something of that nature. Now this brings me to ask if you are doing this all strictly by DIY? How? I just thought to myself you should not be seeking opinion of how to re-enforce a retaining wall if you have a certified structural drawing which should include the design for the "problematic" wall.

Now if you have a structural drawing and not just adding stuff as you go along, and if you are building according to the dictates of your structural drawing then this is all academic and no need to eat our hairs. But if you are building all DIY, you may want to re-visit these small issues as marked out in red:

# The left flank of the building is one long wall with just about two columns. I appreciate it is a bungalow but the land is not table flat which poses some serious structural challenges. How did your structural drawing interpret this stretch of wall without columns mid-way? Again don't you thing the foundation is too low? Or have you done back filling already? Now what kind of lintel is your structural drawing? drop lintel or "all round chaining" ? If you are going to use the drop lintel, you want to sit back and have another look at the wall.

# The layout of the building from the pix, I noticed that the courtyard is not "tied" to the rest of the building. It's a complete island smacked deep in the middle of the super-structure. Appreciating the fact that the land is not table flat there may be an increased risk of differential settlement. Further, why is the inner section of the courtyard loaded with columns but the outer section (coners as arrowed) nearer the gate are without columns? There is the question of structural stability flow. The roof is probably the structure that may "tie" the courtyard to the rest of the building?

Its a bungalow but on a slope, so your stock in trade should be structural stability flow:any re-enforcement on a particular section of the building should inter-relate with other sections of the building and tie the building together and not independent re-enforcement here and there.
