Everything mustn't be DIY?
Is it lack of funds or u are naturally stingy?
I be think say na USA u dey?
I know u have tried so far minimizing cost & blocking every loop holes for this your project. But for this roof carcass aspect, i will advise u to give it to kolashangone, don't think too much about the cost, u will be the final beneficiary in the long run.

U too dey tight hand bros....I wonder how ur bricklayers cope with this your tight hand attitude...Honestly.

I apologize if my post gave you an impression that I was seeking your advice. Guess what, I'm not. How many jobs have you given to the person you're recommending?

Please allow me to run my project my way as long as I'm not borrowing money from you or you're going to live in it.

Thanks.

hello house,my engineer says it's not compulsory to add a mat to the columns for the foundation of a duplex,he says since the soil is a tough one,it's not compulsory...how true...
Never wished to sound obnoxious
But i believe often times the cost approach we use for complicated aspects of our build begets the kind of services we get...These stages are one off, we should joyfully spend & have rest of mind...

Don't blame those in Nigeria for thinking they way they do because those of us overseas painted the picture that money grow on tree abroad.
What or how do you expect them think? When people come here to run their mouth telling people how they pump millions into Nigeria monthly from overseas or how they will import the whole of America into Nigeria.
Example look at Erico (my oga nor vex say I call you into this matter), no one has ever called him out because he respects himself but EgunMogaji must attack others on their on thread, insult others then come to this thread to form holy father and then dig himself into grave (by saying things those of us overseas know that he can't achieve and then try to dig himself out). So tell why won't people call him out? Then when people call him out his gang members will come together to suspend your account.

If anybody want to report and suspend my account because of this comment and for future insult, please do because it will help my data.

why will they suspend your account, you have right to state your opinion and views on issues as long as you operate within the ambit of the laws guiding the forum, it is a free world, Nairaland to me is one of the avenues I wind down and laugh at different issues both the good, bad and ugly, once I logout, I don't even remember anything here again, why bother about an anonymous forum, every information anyone wants on building is on here and also on different online forums, there are several online forums to sieve for information concerning anything constructionsmiley

Yes, this is what I found out from my artisans - especially the point about vibration. My Architect & Electrical Engineer had specified ceiling fans for all rooms including those they had also specified with P-O-P and I had simply bought according to the BofQ (also prepared by a qualified QS, mind) without checking. All these professionals missed it.

So, that Mercedes you see in Allcopacetic's front yard, I own the front tires ;-)

Lol, I think you mean the VW Beetle Sir.

Like Oga spyder rightly said, ....."Some" Fans, not in all cases.

If hooks are secured properly and fans mounted correctly, Vibrations should not be a concern.
Aesthetics is the area I believe choice is subjective.


And speaking of aesthetics, there are Fans that double as Chandeliers. The home images below are from a Nairalander's install. Both fans are operational in the 2nd and 3rd pictures.
These do not require a hook, they use a mounting plate, and the blades fold in when the fan is not in use.

The ventilation is theoretically okay you can improve it by making the Windows longer and having high level Windows that are openable above the windows.

Thanks for your response Sir.
High level windows are the way to go.

And if it's possibly i'll introduce an extractor.
Also making a search for perforated glass door as an alternative.

yes the quote includes the german floor

Not possible.
That 10 ton may likely not exceed the foundation blinding if at all it will complete it and that depends on what thickness he intends doing and ratio usage.

Sorry to see this.

I am not a pro builder and I will defer to those but I do not think that you can do a duplex on this foundation. I hope I am wrong and I am ready to learn.

The beauty of this forum is had you shared during the setting out and binding one of us would have caught it. But I understand the privacy of not sharing and also the imbeciles that may retort with their uncouth nonsense.

Please stop work now until you can decide on how best to go forward.

I "think" that you may be able to introduce columns with baskets (they are one unit) still.

Good luck.

If after the foundation blinding and the next thing he starts setting blocks then you need to stop work.
Mats are not specific to waterlogged areas but mandatory for your type of build.

Don't mind my language, but ceiling fans are an affront to a good POP ceiling grin To me, its a necessity I can do without in other to save the beauty of my ceilings.

1. Its ugly on the ceiling
2. Most ceiling fans will come with some vibration on the wood suspending it, incidentally, that's the same wood carrying your POP ceiling. This vibration has a long term effect of making your ceiling unstable.
3. The metal may rust and stain my white ceiling.

I normally use alternatives like an A/C, a standing fan, table fan or a wall mounted fan to supply added ventilation. I am also a fan of the long window which can increase ventilation.


Thanks oga.
