It will be difficult without you saying how high the KingPost is going to be.
Other things like number of rooms will also affect the number of woods to use.

Your floor plan and Roof height will assist others to help you sha, l think.
King post should not be more than 10feet.

i AM VERY PLEASED With your Idea of Courtyard. Its the main thing that Triggers my Juices in Architecture. I have only had one Opportunity to make a court Yard even though Small, but was worth it. (Attached Below) I still remember My Grand father's House in the Village. It had a massive Court Yard, once it rains, you'd see us there running around in the court Yard. It was so Big and it basically Opened to a corridor that Opened to every room in the House. Its a very good Idea. Please do Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.
Wow! This is lovely.

@Fastshipping,

Do you believe the guy may not know the difference? I'm not supporting this in anyway but ignorance can kill at times.

I've done a DPC with 5 loads of (30 tons) granite for a client here on Nairaland and he said he's fine so long I'm not the one supplying it. 5 loads of granite is about 750k (just for DPC alone), meanwhile I used N10m to build a similar structure (5 units of 2 bedroom on 2 floors) for another client (also a Nairalander) using NextHome dump truck.

I didn't know so much until I bought my dump truck. I didn't know so much until I signed a partnership agreement with a dredging site. I didn't know so much until I started visiting quarries myself (even though I've left that part for sincere supplier). The few who knew these secret are building half the cost and are not making noise on faceless forum.


_______
Oga KolaShangOne, where art thou? It's the new year, leave Trash for LAWMA.

Visiting the quarry was an eye opener for me and suprisingnly like you I opted to give to a supplier but still at a significant savings.

Good for you mate

~At least visiting the quarry is better than washing dead corpses in America, especially that hospital you work at in America.
* So did you use imported granite as well or you went to tell them in the quarry how America granite is better than thiers ?
* How long did it take to build this village garage of yours ? even on top of your America boasting, on top washing dead body oo.
* At least those that use x amount of granite to build a house, they spent their money and unless you want them to help you with your build, nothing concern you.
* How Old are you self, I hear you are almost 60 but as I have told you before you are getting duller by the day, the older you get. And you have not failed to prove me wrong.
* Who is your Engineer now, at least those that hire and fire under performing Engineers (and teenagers that call themselves Engineers, some come from Ibadan) can afford to do so even without importing padlock, you have been on this project for nearly 5 years, you want to buy 10 pieces of 9" block, you open a thread for that. Is this money from washing corpses that hard on you ?


I rest my case, make i find those questions Excuseme ask you self....

At least you have had some manners now before those people blasted you, its your stupidity that we need to brush up on now. Your arrogance and utterance of rubbish has reduce small, and lest i forget your urge to import junk has reduced small as well, so something is working.

Hi, seriously I don't know.

But others more savvy will answer you shortly. I suspect though that they'll probably say that it depends on your soil condition.

Good luck on your project.

Spyder880, AbdulWastecx, KolaShangOne, Brabus, and other verified builders might assist.

Is that not what you do ?
Dirty job money does not smell.
The hussle is really hard, we know you are in Califonia, but all these your useless boasting like a big man you only managed a village garage in 5 years or so, and nobody has heard word since.
By the way, did you find your friend ? I think i know where he is..
But you have to increase that your 10K offer, because even local dog self will not collect 10k.

I dont know what you are talking about. Which Family ? Is Brabus my family, God forbid... Thief as my family !!

Biko, If you are praying that your boyfriend is my family, then it confirms my suspicion that you clearly have problems ?
Show us 3 pictures from when you started your project till date, and I will do the same and we can see who is brags on empty tanks and who doesnt talk a lot but get on with the task ahead !!

Did you find a new wife now ? Ever wondered why the last one left your sorry ass ??
By the way, I wanted to provide you the number and address of your long lost friend, but i had second thoughts, you fit kidnap the guy and local dogs self have refused your 10k offer. grin

Una no go rest? Let it go. Too much energy (negative) and possibly money dey worry all of una.

You guys should learn to let go. It's a strength of character not to respond to any bait.

Do you guys know how they catch monkeys in Brazil? If not, read James Hadley Chase: The Paw In The Bottle.

Learn to let go.

I have a decision to make about the fascia for my impeding roofing.

I absolutely would love to see exposed but of course weather treated wood with paint but preferably stain. As opposed to the roofing material that I see commonly used.

Has anyone had to make a similar decision recently? Would love to pick your brain. Hopefully would hear from those building personal residence as opposed to the cheapest as can be rentals.

Thanks.

Baba,

They put a nut in a bottle, and tie the bottle to a tree. The monkey grasps the nut, but the neck of the bottle is too narrow for the monkey to withdraw its paw and the nut. You would think the monkey would let go of the nut and escape, wouldn't you ? But it never does. It is so greedy it never releases the nut and is always captured. Remember that story, Julie. Greed is a dangerous thing. If you give way to it, sooner or later you will be caught.

Thats oldskol tho....Monkey these days will smash the bottle and eat the nuts end of story.... grin grin


But I understand your point tho Baba...nice1

Oga back2sender

Thanks for the wise words.
You will notice that i am not the type that gets involved in trading insults, but you have to agree with me that whoever the person called EgunMogaji is seriously needs help. I mean, i am not the first person to have said it.

If you have a lot of people who are always trading insults with you, then you definitely have a problem (EgunMogaji) and maybe a woman can help with your problems. Just a piece of advice Egun. I think this forum has a romance section, never been there so cant vouch for how effective it is.

Of course, I respect the dead. "service to the living, honour to the dead" That was the anthem that i was brought up with.
When you have someone who talks all sorts of rubbish on a faceless forum meant to educate, we can only try to put that right, but clearly EgunMogaji needs help. We all want to learn here Egun Mogaji, we are not interested in your efforts to import your silly pillar, glass, padlock, chicken, bricklayers, 9 inch block, locks or find your long lost friend riding a F****** Vespa.
