okikigsm: N31,000, it shouldn't be more than a regular window because it uses just a little bit more aluminum than the regular one. I'm very cost-conscious on my project and I don't know why some feel that I have unaffordable pipe dreams. I just like to operate out of the box. But mine won't have that blue tint and the Persian looking gold inlays though. Totally not my thing. |

@egunmogaji does that your window comes with protector inside ? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:46am On May 14, 2016 |
AZUH: Unfortunately, yes it has the full length protection. |

Is it in Lagos ? |

EgunMogaji:l like your window design, it is different from mine, mine is a sliding one & it is black tinted. ![]() |

AZUH: My project is in Ibadan but the windows are coming from Lagos (I think). |

4nobody4every1: Thank you Sir, I'm sure yours looks the business with black tint. Truth is I may end up tinting them in the future but I want to experiment with window sun shades first for that Floridian look to see if I can pull it off and the effectiveness. |

mufutau55: Hajji M I bought a land, I want to put a little fence at the edge of the land to indicate the land is taken. but I don't know how many blocks and cement it will need. I will fence it complete when the economy is back to normal |

Builders in the house, is this foundation not too shallow for a 5 bedroom duplex? https://www.nairaland.com/3075906/construction-5-bedroom-duplex-ibadan/1#3075906.51

multikolour: I am not sure that will help you any bit. The best is to try and do even 5 or 4 coaches of blocks around the land. Hajji M. |

mufutau55: Unfortunately, with embedded Sir. I'm still torn on trapping my family in the house. It's forcing me to think of alternatives. https://www.nairaland.com/3033198/call-me-sliding-casement-windows |

mufutau55: OK sir, but how many block do I need for 4 coaches and cement |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 3:26pm On May 14, 2016 |
multikolour: A complete waste of time and money. You need to erect at least a dwarf fence with a gate of some kind. This is if the intent is to stake ownership. Good luck. |

agarawu23:If its not Subject to erosion activities washing off the soil blinding area its okay to me, thats my common sense evaluation |

EgunMogaji: 6" Block is very acceptable... when finished and well plastered the fence will hold very well... Don't be ashamed, 99.9% of people uses the 6" blocks for their fence. I am guilty too. Hajji M. 1 Like |

back2sender:it's a duplex and not a bungalow no matter the condition of the soil/environment. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by multikolour(m): 3:55pm On May 14, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: thank you very much how many blocks do I need to erect the shot fence of 4 coaches |

agarawu23: Yep, my own Baba Kafaya dug more than that for my garage apartment. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by back2sender: 4:20pm On May 14, 2016 |
agarawu23:Are there not going to be pillars? Its pillars that will be holding the load of the building that will be passed to the soil. The depth of the where the pillars will enter the ground will be deeper than the blinding area where the blocks will sit. So bugalow or duplex, my concern here is the probability of erosion striking the area and not how deep. If the foundation area is not Subject to erosional activities i have no worries. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by agarawu23(m): 4:36pm On May 14, 2016 |
back2sender:oga, do u see any extra holes that pillars will sit on in the picture? We still need to follow the thread and see if that's the first batch digging cos digging such for a 5 bedroom duplex is void to 'me' . |
