Rubbiish: Are we talking about building bridges on here? Use your brain, you dolt. Expand your mind. You have a gademn smartphone in your hand or a desktop, hop on the web and try to educate your closed mind. |

EgunMogaji: 1. How you plan to DIY plumbing and wiring for your project (assuming a 150m2 house) in Ibadan or wherever and at the same time how you plan to keep your Job/biz at you base? 2. Why didnt you use the DIY approach for your garage as Rubhiish ve pointed out? 3. Why are you pushing one narrative and doing something else? 4. why a supposedly "exposed" Guy with "brains" will push a narrative that tends to undermine professionalism in very delicate stages in constructing a home? I will appreciate it you can answer these qiestions without insults. Thanks C. 1 Like |

Question for astute electricians. What is a "Diron" and "Wreckling"? I "think" Diron is the electrical insulators on the poles and wreckling is the subsurface wire that takes wire from the pole outside to the house. Thanks. |

EgunMogaji:Lol...Sick man...Keep on deceiving yourself... We are talking about reinforcement...Everything that involves reinforcement will be discussed. You make too much noise & always get vindictive when told the truth! Propagating what u don't practice... How can u be in USA & your project in Ibadan, u keep screaming DIY? i don't get? For once i have never seen u on site lifting a pin...So how do u carry out your DIY? Because u are too poor to hire a professional doesn't mean u should come here to deceive people...Always looking for cheapest means do things made u a DIY pastor... You that have desktop & smartphone will still hire a local plumber to do your plumbing works while u send money from abroad...Why not come down to do it yourself since u are exposed?? Seems your DIY ends online...Everything about u is fake & unrealistic... Poor old fool... 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji: What people call recline is actually bunched aluminium conductor. Your overhead cables wrapped in insulation. Typically for domestic 415 v distribution I am unable to translate diron |

oyb: Thank you, Sir. So this recline is the black thick cable that I see that comes down the side of the power pole and goes into the site? Do you per chance have a pic? I'm indebted to you. Again ![]() PS: Is this also called Armored Cable? I enjoy learning these things. |

EgunMogaji:You don't have shame...I swear U run here to ask silly questions & engage direct labour by giving them peanuts, because u don't want to hire proficient hands to handle your project( I blame poverty though). As noisy & arrogant as u are not for once a professional visited your site all through the phase of your project. Even when your building was faced with critical issues that demanded physical attention u still couldn't hire a professional for a day...Now u wanna encourage people to skip professionals by hiring unqualified hands because u couldn't hire one?? We won't encourage that here...DIY doesn't stop one for engaging an engineer, well trained plumbers & electricians to carry out proper supervision... Incase u don't know we started nairaland...Poor old fool... 1 Like |

kopell: He actually worked on my project. And I didn't doubt the integrity of the materials used. So I was wondering where the Chinese come in. @ the bold- if he truly didn't use the Tower, he must have used the bolded. 1 Like |

folmus: I faintly remember us having a conversation about Tower and Chinese. What I usually ask artisans on my site is which product will they use in their own house. I am quite satisfied with his service and material. |

[quote author=oyb post=67136343][/quote] Thank you, Sir. I went and haunted one of Spyders thread and found this. I think recline is also known as armored cable?

EgunMogaji:Recline is different from armored...armored is the one in the picture 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:39pm On Apr 29, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: No.armoured cable is copper.typically run underground.not really that necessary imho, if you you provide proper ducts for your cable.the purpose of the armour is to provide mechanical protection. Back in the day, cables would be buried directly in the ground, and would slowly fall apart. Now just ensure your artisans run high pressure pipes as ducts, and you're good to go. Also recline is overhead cable and typically aluminum, while armoured cable is typically copper. 4 Likes |

twinskenny: Thanks Kenny, I see the picture of recline now. He also wrote 70mm, that seems awfully big. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by twinskenny(m): 8:02pm On Apr 29, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: thats big.. how many bedroom>?? the question is to get the real one. like the one oyb posted above.... there are so many fake out there 70mm sound too big for me. i think we use 50mm for a duplex with 2 3 bedroom flats.. cant remember now but not up to 70mm 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:04pm On Apr 29, 2018 |
twinskenny: It will be serving the entire complex, so about 10 bedrooms. For the electrical wires on the pole, how many mm are those? I appreciate the education, Sir. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by twinskenny(m): 8:09pm On Apr 29, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: the one on the poles varies oo NEPA can be mischievous.. the one on my street start with 70mm in some places they reduce them to 50mm.. another thing u can do is call NEPA official to come and take a look.. but i dont think they will allow your electrician to connect to the pole directly. in my area they dont allow anyone to do that.. 2 Likes |
