From what I understood.. it tied the top together then bind the decking securely to the pillars...
That layman understanding is enough for me... I have read many engineering jargon about them, but that above is my summary.

@ Hajj Mufutau55,

You are a stentorian voice that is often against retrograde and prebendal forces of primitive mercantilism in the property section, a voice against oppression & injustice, as we celebrate the relative peace and serenity on this thread, let me use this celestial opportunity to wish you and every one a merry Christmas ahead.

May you all be endowed with a cornucopia of His grace and avalanche of blessings from the suzerainty of the greater beyond to perpetually experience this moment of proscenium of joie de vivre in many more decades to unfold. Merry christmas wink cool

As a new guy in Nairaland particularly this property section, I must say that I continue to be enriched by the wealth of information and learnings freely available here.

I get to know and made new friends, and did business with people I met here. People that I may not ordinarily have met or deal with if I didn't stumble into this property section sometime early this year, very lovely, honest, and down to earth individuals' Spyder, Abdulwastecxs, Podosci, to mention a few. These guys are rare gems of contemporary Nigerians with impeccable qualities and unalloyed honesty lacking in most of us.

I pray that they do not derail even in adversity, tribulations, or temptations as they pursue their heart desires, for in them lies the heart of future Nigerian we would all cherish.

It's my great pleasure therefore to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

May the good Lord visit you all andawith your families with his grace and blessings through the remaining days of the Christian calender Year 2016 even as we pray for his continuous guide, wisdom, protection, and more blessings in the coming 2017!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!!

Another word to describe injustice and oppression is >>> ( iniustitiam & calumnia) but combining it as a single word depends on its intended use-age wink

I watched the video. This definitely did not happen in Nigeria.


Nigerians don't speak that way.

The story looks like a Nollywood movie, people need to stop watching superstitions on Nollywood.
She is not a Nigeria and their is no evidence that she ask her cousin to supervised any mansion for her.



What you said is the truth, however this happened in Ghana and not in Nigeria.

This was the reason why I moved on with my life. It could have been worse. We need to thank God for everything we take for granted in life. You won't believe my mansion now if you see it now. I can sell it for N200m if I wanted to.

When I see the way people derailed this thread intentionally for whatever selfish reasons best known to them, I just look up the the heaven and thank God even more.

Attached picture is that of the control board of my 0.5hp submersible pump.
Somehow I misplaced the factory placed capacitor
I replaced it with a 30Uf but discovered it was drawing too much power from my inverter.
I had to call other knowledgeable people who told me that a 0.5hp pump comes with 20uf capacitor. I changed it to 20uf. The power consumption reduced noticeably but it's still above 370watts on the label.
I need pros like Twinskenny and other Electrical gurus to tell me the relationship between the capacitor and the power drawn by the pump.
When we were still growing up, we use capacitor to increase the speed of ceiling fan without caring for the power consumption.
Now that I am using solar, I need to conserve as much as possible.
I await your response.

No one has responded on my fence matter as well.

Fence matter? You may want to repost the question as I no see any fence matter o.
Or you mean about the one fencing with wires? If that is the case, that will just keep out the animals not humans.
Why waste money.. you will still need to erect block fence later. What you can do is make the three sides blocks and high,
then make the front low and put iron rods at the top.. so with that your neighbors can still see thru from the front yard..
I hope you understand o, or did I miss the point?.

I believe laying the pipes before the mat can burst the pipes or bent them then it's problem for wiring after the decking with blocked pipes.
Note that I don't have any educational degree in this just telling my day to day practical observations; so this opinion lightly and unqualified opinions.
I have been thru blocked pipes under decking for electrical... so I know what my electrician went thru to unblocked it.

Note: Some people also do the pipe laying first while doing the mat... check this Abdulwastecx thread below:
