lastpage:l agree with everything you wrote here, l was in Sydney- Australia last year to visit a family member and something similar to this happened in the community where my family member lived but although the threat / post was made on facebook, it was a money related transaction and the aggrieved posted something relating to killing his friend who owed him, guess what happened, few months down the line, the guy was shot dead in a different incident in a night club, the police and the security started investigating, the guy who made the threat was arrested although he was on vacation to Costa Rica with his girlfriend, but that post he made on facebook is what the police are now using against the guy, the case is still on as l type, lets be cautious of what we post online, the world is now a global village interconnected with the internet that anything we say / post online can be traced and used against us. @ Brabus, if l was in your shoes, l will take a break from Nairaland, and try and appease / settle amicably all those l have stepped on, stop posting , chill, your clients are hurting badly, they are not happy that you are posting / answering construction related questions whereas you didnt do due diligence on all the jobs you got from them. 7 Likes |

@ QC1 I hardly comment on this forum but I really feel bad about the foundation problems you have. What is the current status with the house, have u tried any remedial measures? Is it currently inhabited?. I would suggest you engage some engineers on the forum, segcymoor, abdul e.t.c and try and proffer solutions and save your investment. As for the "builder" we should all move past that, in saner climes not everyone dabbles into construction. You could be a contractor ,but you should have in your employ professionals, these are the issues we try to impress on our NSE leadership to enforce. Qualified and "tested" builders here should also take a stand , before oil rubs on the rest fingers. 4 Likes |

As an active commentator on this thread who have made comments on disputes between members in the past, let me put it on record that I am not in support of any act of violence, or threat of violence, or solicitation to acquire firearms for the purpose of causing harm to other members of this thread in settlement for any commercial transaction between parties. I have found it necessary make such a dissociation in view of the escalating nature of belligerent language on this thread, and an open threat to cause harm that appears to have gotten endorsement from a part of this community. I reaffirm that the best and recognized way to settle commercial disputes remains either through "arbitration" or the established courts regardless of our personal views about their efficacy. This disclaimer is for the matter of records. 1 Like |

3strikes: Can you please quote ANYWHERE, that l claimed to be a Geotechnical Engineer? I dont take kindly to "impersonation" please. abdulwastecx: @Abdulwastecx: I would also suggest that you specify the TYPE of TEST (CPT, SPT, e.t.c) the Professional (you are recommending) will undertake (in writing) and further ensure that it is what is being given out in the Report. To recommend people nowadays, one has to be very specific and also follow-up .... so that a hard-earned "good reputation like yours, .....is not tainted! I dont want someone to start asking you to refund "Soil test" Money....because you are the one who linked the Client to the Test Contractor! Even if (when) you did it "in good faith"! Sorry, l dont have someone to recommend! Lastpage! |

brag3: Absolutely 'NO' ! Reason l said "No" is that "I" dont want Brabus to keep trying to defend himself on this matter again. In doing so, the Clients get offended even more but at the same time, I understand his need to "CLARIFY" certain things that he feels are "not ACCURATE" in the narration. [size=14pt]It seems to me, it is we "Aprokos" that are stoking the fire, goading Brabus into "self defence" only to turn around and accuse him of gloating![/size] "The heart of Man is exceedingly wicked, honestly". Lastpage! BTW: I am not inferring in anyway, whether it was Brabus that did that German floor or not (I was not there). I only said there is no Iron on that "flooring", ....German or French! That much seems obvious. I hope Brabus will not fall for the BAIT again... and again! 2 Likes |

Haba, It's not like that. Think you got me wrong. If iron rods were not used then an explanation as to why they were not used does not constitute defence. Do you not think it prudent that learners like me and maybe some others need to understand certain things. That's not goading as you put it. That's putting that facts straight Let me put it this way. do you think iron rods should have been used and if they were not used can you give any reason why? Like I said I am just a learner so your wisdom on this area will be appreciated. lastpage: 1 Like |

I was extremely lucky, I had done a lot of reading up and learnt a lot from NL. This is what happened during my german floor, me and Bosun had rows and rows, and a friend of mine (name whitheld) had to reconcile us. He didnt deliver the number of trips of sand that i paid for, in the end I had to start ordering it myself, and paying labourers myself. Whats the F******* point of an Engineer then or a QUACK ! I do not see any 12mm rods on QC foundation, QC please confirm as this is very important. Before Bosun starts to claim credit for the use and implementation of hardcore, see the discussion that led to it. It was my idea, even from thousands of miles away, I was telling my engineer how to do his job, engineer and engineer mistress as well ! And I insisted I pay for it, he wanted to defraud me but he didnt know I have eyes at the back of my head, paid 300k for 2 trucks, he dropped only one and wanted to use it like that, but i insisted i needed to see the picture of the second drop. danowena: 1 Like |

Honest answer? Being a none-engineer I will most probably plead/beg Aventures or Spyder or Segymore to have a look at it. I wont sink anymore money into it unless I am 100% sure that the right solutions have been provided. If I have to pay some millions to salvage it then so be it. I know it may be election after campaign but I will also ask for another soil test to be done (if one has already been done) lastpage: |

brag3: At this point, l think SILENCE, especially on the part of Brabus.... and even the Client, is GOLDEN! Let us focus our energy on how we can assist the Client to keep this building afloat. That is where our energy should be directed! Money? Sound Ideas? Encouragement? Prayers? e.t.c Anyway, "we disagree to agree". Maybe l got you wrong. I rest my case Sir! Lastpage! 2 Likes |
