Takoro13:
I want you people to help check and make comments on these two adjusted plans as am preparing to start small thing here.

educhigo:
thanks for the nice advice, i appreciate,but the problem is that i base abroad and i dont have trusted someone who can help me to develop the land,i plan to build something there whenever i go back to nigeria.my father is late and some of my sisters behavior is very bad [b]because they think that we are picking money on the road her[/b]e

Rubbiish:

The second one is better. But d walls doesn't look straight. are u sure d dimensions are accurate?

EngrOYemi:


I actually do not have enough time to peruse your floor plan(sketch) well. The second seems better and a bit functional.
But can you tell me how you intend to throw light into your laundry room(15).
I also don't know why you have to journey that far from the living room to the dinning. You can make a swap for the dinning and kitchen.

Actually so many things to be corrected and adjusted.

Takoro13:


Thanks sr

I want to introduce perforated block up above the lintel before ceiling and share light from masters room toilet.

Yes I can swap dinning for kitchen as you said.

My main concern is that the plan looks like face to face building plan. Looking through the passage, you discover what I mean.

Please can you criticize the first one sr. Though there are some adjustment there also

EngrOYemi:


Introducing perforated blocks will not work out the magic. Perforated blocks are most times limited to exterior/external use for so many reasons(I won't go into details here).

Now to your first sketch:
Your sitting room failed the aeration and light test.
Why would your laundry share wall with kitchen, why do you have to go through the kitchen to the laundry?
Your kitchen do not have an emergency exit door, why?
The list of why seems endless.

Work on your designs. They are not functional.

Thanks.

Just take note of all the above listed points.
The attached files/pics are not so clear.
Thanks.

That History tiles guy,

Can you tell us the amount of such a WC, Kolanshange once shared a similar one like that that has the double function of washing hands capability and flushing Poo. kindly share the market selling amount here so that others who are interested will be better informed for decision making .

This WC saves water , water conservation and environmental friendly

ThatHistoryGuy:



Greetings to y'all beautiful people

Sir I surely have seen WC of assorted designs within the Nigerian market but have never seen that design you talk of. The day it was shared on this thread was the first day I saw such design . Most of the ones here comes with the wc and washing hand basin like this below

rotecch77:
this is the wc.
The wc looks simple but ones the wc supply line get fault it means you will not be able to use the basin.
also you can't get the part here, ones it develop fault

back2sender:


NOT this one you posted sir. a taplike structure is on top of the WC.
Kolashange , can you or any who can remember this please assist with the picture.

ThatHistoryGuy:


I believe you did not get my write up above
I know the wc you are talking about but its not in the Nigerian market

jabolo:


Shame we have to import everything though. Any enterprising engineer or our brothers from the East could simply offer this as retrofitable accesories for all the millions of WCs out there.

I see no big deal, just a replacement cover moulded to accomodate the tap and drain, then simple plumbing attachment in the basin itself.

And, you know what? There is plenty of funding out there for this sort of thing. Just pitch it to a well-connected NGO or international donor organization with such bombast as "a water saving device that addresses the shortage of water in the third world brought about by climate change ..."

diordaves:


They will burst the fence and build overnight. As you didn't show continued presence, sometimes it may even take a couple of years before you will discover the fraud.

It happened to my neighbour. We all bought from the community for one million each. She fenced and just "disappeared". I mean, disappeared. No one knew her address or her number or her people. No one. She probably did this for fear of kidnapping as it was the height of kidnapping in Niger Delta then.

Fast forward six years later, same land in the area appreciated to 15 million. Yes, you read that right, 15mill in six years. This was as a result of the quality of those who bought in the estate and the quality of homes being built, from politicians in Delta State House of Assembly to the diaspora.

The community just burst the fence and sold the land to a diaspora, who practically built overnight. The argument of the community is that they want development, so holding that land fallow is speculative and a hidding place for hoodlums. That they don't want speculators as this will hinder development. She went to court with the community not the diaspora that bought the land. The case is still ongoing.

Now in such a scenario, even if she won, it's going to be compensation possibly at the price she bought.

The truth is if you bought a land, show presence and maintain the land yearly with minimal amount until you are ready to build. Don't just disappear. Anything can happen.

This is the original plan.

Don't mind my grammar ooo. So my friends have been disturbing me to leave Jekende in Lekki area where i stay and come down to Ajah area where they said houses are cheaper. I and my friend were introduced to an agent who after many attempts landed us to this compound at No 7 Sanni Ashimiu close (c/o Jisoro) in Ologunfe-Awoyaya, Ibeju-Lekki in Lagos State. Seeing that this room is a virgin room, we paid despite that there were lots of work to be still done by the landlord who is a lawyer, we made a big mistake by not asking other tenants how it goes there. Two weeks past the landlord started avoiding our calls to come and complete our one-room self-contained. when a lady packed out the landlord asked us to pack into this room, only for us to find out that water drops from the room, the room is leaking. and from the complaints by some of the tenants who are there, they said its normal thing for all the rooms to be leaking water. when i encountered one of the men that were working for him in the compound, he just told me that the landlord buys second-hand WC, zinc, wood, pako, even tiles, the doors kitchen and toilet doors were made of wood framed with PVC. after we threatened the landlord he gave us our money and we packed out. I only came up here because last week i was asked by a female friend of mine to go accompany her to where she wants to pay for a room. that she will pay and the landlord will complete it for her within one week. to my greatest surprise when we got to the location it turns out to be the same compound that at the front gate is a signpost ''TO LET'' which according to the agent that brought me it has been there since 5years now. the landlord likes it when people pack in and leaves after one year so that he will collect his agreement money. so when we got there that day i noticed that another building is been erected here without proper foundation, and that's where this my babe wants to pay. we noticed that PVC is been used with wood to do the decking. PVC in place of wood to deck An upstairs. Out of anger, I decided to take photos and put it up here to save the lives of people. it could be my relative that will rent that room tomorrow. when we went to a shop down the street to buy something, we told them what is going on in the compound. we were told there that what we saw is even small. that the landlord paid Northerners 5k to pack sand from the street since the street is interlocked. that's what they use in the building. and there is a known stuff like the tenants been afraid of the landlord because he will always tell them that he is a lawyer and so nobody can do him anything. Please HELP ME PaSS THIS MESSaGE TO THE appropriate authorities TO SaVE PEOPLES LIFE. Take your time and feast on photos of both the building i once rented and the one he is building now
This compound belongs to certain Barr. IWUCHUKWU CHINWEIKPE
