n3xt: Thank you. The geophysicist is actually on my land now doing the survey. My brother in-law says they arrived at 8am and are still there. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by msogunro: 2:18pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
House... So there is a lot of work happening on my site now. As I mentioned in my previous post geo guys are they doing the survey. I also have an excavator removing what we thought were a couple boulders, but they have turned into many. Someone made a comment earlier about crushing the boulders and using them on my build. I don't think that is possible for now so I want to know if a mining company can haul them away for free. Please share your knowledge with me. 1 Like

msogunro: When I was growing up many years ago... there used to be people called "Alakuta" in Yoruba language that can break all those boulders into acceptable pieces and you can use it to fill your German Floor, have thought of that.. not expensive like the "crusher company". They make holes in the boulder and put dynamite inside and shatter the rocks. Hajji M. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by msogunro: 3:07pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
mufutau55: Dynamite? Wow. Serious business. I will ask my people to make enquiries. Thank you Oga. I would love of be able to reuse these boulders when the time comes. Hopefully they come back with positive feedback. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 3:15pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
msogunro: Most time with big rocks... they punch holes in the rock and use dynamite to break it. But with small boulder like yours being dug out, they have tools to just break it into pieces manually. I just hope they are still in existence... with many people nowadays just trying to get rich quickly without working. Hajji M. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by msogunro: 3:27pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
mufutau55: You mean a laborer will use hammer and chisel to break these boulders? Nah wow!

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 4:30pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
msogunro: Yes. I came from a rocky town, and that is how it was done then... they have big hammer to break things down to bits. Hajji M. |

msogunro: It's a system that's perfected. They look for natural weak spots but still requires force used intelligently. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by abouzaid: 5:49pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
msogunro:here in the north, they would set fire on it using firewood or condemned tires and the rocks would crack on it's own then they would break it out easily in big pieces and then further break it with hammers to any desired size needed for construction purpose, it was also common in anammbra back in the days while growing up there but it seems those ones have all acquired modern machinery now. |

Yes oo. Its only Malla's hand that can handle it, i had a double casted retaining wall, malla drilled hole inside it within a few hours, plumber/bricklayer didnt not go near it when asked. Just ask around for Mallam, you mobilise them small to buy new tools etc. At least thats what i did sha. The dynamite idea should work logically, but I personally will not want dynamites on my site, what if they leave un-exploded ones. To do something like that, it has to be really well controlled. msogunro: |
