Miscellaneous:



You see, if I were to defend the granite dust, I would say that the granite dust tend to be somewhat reactive with the cement paste in the sense that it delays the hydration of the cement. Under normal circumstances, only cement ought to be reactive but, we are sometimes faced with situations where the aggregate might be reactive as I'm attributing to granite dust in this very instance. And because of this delayed hydration, the intended strength of granite dust couldn't be gotten at the 7-day period but, MAYBE overtime it would achieve it's desired strength, just maybe. Until I one day undergo a repeat of this test in future (using a 28-day period ), I'll always say granite dust is far inferior to sharp sand... & I don't think the strength tested in the lab has anything to do with the curing. I, myself, am particularly interested in the cause of the discrepancies as much as you do thus, I would find a way to conduct the test for a 28-day period.... I just hope they allow me.

That would be great!
Research-based education brings about unquantifiable development.

In the course of my own build, we noticed that we had to use even more water as the Stone dust seems to consume/swallow the water and it dries up very quickly.

Now, l am thinking, "all things being equal", if you use the same amount of water in the tow mixes (Sharp sand ...and Stone dust), the Sharp sand will likely come out stronger because the Stone Dust appears to be "starved of water" and like if you starve a sharp Sand mix of water, it will definitely not attain maximum strength.
This is just a "postulation" of mine as l dont have "accurate, scientific data" to back it up, having not done any controlled experiment, as you have done.

Please keep it at it as you would be contributing something meaningful to the industry.
Just do it as a "further project" or if you are in your 1st degree finals, enrol for "higher degrees" and pursue it further on a larger scale, with more time to spare.

Not sure if I shared this before.

I found this handy chart on roof colors. I'm sure there may/will be variations between manufacturers.

Don't be like Spyder880. Have your roofer spell back what color you choose so he doesn't mix green with cream grin

Because you tagged me I'll once again clarify my comments about you.

The difference between you and a fortune 100 company is that you were asked a specific question and decided to answer in a manner that displayed little to no humility. You went beyond the parameters of the question asked and started to brag about what you HAVE, what you've DONE and not what you have to OFFER.

Fortune 100 companies have thier works speak for themselves. They have something to offer to others and if individuals there are gonna brag about themselves they back it up with tangible end products. They aren't battling their previous customers everyday on naira land defending thier work product.

Stop digging a hole for yourself. Be humble.

If you want to aspire to become a fortune 100 company on day that's a good goal. But humble yourself and live in the reality of your present situation.

When there's no paper qualification, you need to show everything with your experience and reference works.

Now, NextHome is a niche that targets a particular demographic. So it's fair to showcase your best in where you operate from. The Fortune 100 companies of this world are doing it. Why shouldn't I?

I appreciate the feedback I'm getting here because it helps us to raise the bar high.

Which one of these three would you go for?

I like the two white polished tiles. I like the grey one too but I have to change color of some things I already settled with to match my color theme. They are 24" by 24" tiles.

What do you think?
