oga spyder I know that this thread is for building abeg I need your help. I am looking for where to get a plot of land in Enugu, somewhere that someone can build and live in. Not the buy and wait till people start moving into the area. It is kind of urgent for me and my pocket no too deep like that ooh. With your experience do you think I can get somewhere reasonable in the neighborhood of 1.5 to 2m ? Which area?

Akpuoga Nike. Good neighbours and access road. Distressed seller needing cash.

Nkwubor near Emene, N4.2m for two plots but I don't know if one can live there today.

Call or text 080 333 50 750.

The face of this house today.......

From the top.....

Our walls here are 10 block courses high, plus the lintels, then another two blocks on top, before we do the decking beam. Enough headroom in this house.

Project Day 26

The start of the decking platform. ....

Well done oga mi, apart from the cost of filling with sand, what is another challenge with having a high DPC? Can the sand cause the block work to bulge?

Thanks for responding fast. Let me ask my people if the location is okay for them.

Yes it can. Soil pressure, especially with the added weight of water can push down high walls without beam reinforcement.

Please can you share more details on these items for electrical pipping?

The items and their estimated quantities so that I can gauge mine if it's too excess. I could count 7 or 8 bundles of pipes from the pic.


I had searched for them under your "low budget 5bed duplex" but surprisingly I didn't find anything on electrical or plumbing".

The quantities of materials we bought on Monday for this very house are;

20mm pipes 7 bundles
25mm pipes 1 bundle
20mm couplers 2 pkts
25mm couplers 20 pics
Male bush 2 pkts
4 ways plastic box 2 pkts
3x3 knockout boxes 50
3x6 knockout boxes 55
U box 1 pkt
Y box 1 pkt
Gum 2 tins
Cooker box 1
Bending spring 2


But the actual materials your own house will need will be determined by your electrical drawing, and size of the building. It could be more or less than these quantities here. Thanks.

Reinforcements.........

If all contractors could be this diligent and efficient there will be little or no building collapse.
Keep up the good work Mr Spyder.
Hoping to get across soon.

Is that a double matting on the entire slab?
What could be the reason for such?
