Someone asked how he can protect his house from people jumping in after doing fence.. It cracked me up seriosly

Someone replied him on this thread, said prayer and hope.

A small story below for that person

My next house neighbour travelled for five days last week with his family. So on Friday, someone told us birds are flying to his plantain three at d back , that maybe the plantation is ripe, that we should call him so he can send someone down to cut it, although we had his gate extra key but he was due back the next day so we did not bother to check or call him. Next day my neighbor came back so we asked him to go and check the plantain at d back, and behold , a whole bunch of plantain was missing on the tree,someone entered and cut it off, this is a house with tall fence and barb wires oooo and my street is already populated , houses everywhere.. I was so alarmed, like how can someone jump the fence to steal plantain .

So for the person who asked that question , how he can protect his house .. Its same reply, pray and hope for the lords divine security.

Hello NLanders,
I propose to construct a Soakaway Pit+Septic Tank of LxBxH = (12x8x10)ft. The SP+ST will serve a 1bedroom(existing) and 4bedroom(proposed) bungalow. And the SP+ST will be constructed at just 3ft away from d 1bedroom building.

Please what do you guys see to the dimensions and its distance away from the building

PS: the ground is not a swampy area

I will appreciate your professional advices and enlightenment

Waiting for comments on this from you guys plsss

Oh, sorry I saw it earlier but supposed one of us has responded to it.

Well, it's not the standard but if you don't have other option (space for elsewhere) it can be managed.

Suggestion: Reduce the breadth of the tank by 1foot (to be 7feet instead of 8 ) so that you can have at least 4feet from the 1bedroom BQ, it will still serve for the 2 buildings or add it to the height to be 11feet instead of 10.

Thanks

Sorry bro, thats not how it works.

Electric Fence Energizer has an inbuilt 12V 7AH battery that could last 48hrs or more on the battery if the system is properly installed. This battery can be upgraded that could last a month .

With Electric fence the only option for a burglar is through the gate since most systems have a siren attached which will wake the entire neighborhood. Even the gate has its connection to the system.

How do u charge?

Actually I know what make some of them keep quiet this day is just because some are label names which is not that so aspected by them and many more like that.

What we do we see this days mostly is non professional advise which in turn do give some home base bad names bcs for example some who has not visited site ones in his life or know anything about building will be give building quote to non home base person and later a professional give advise or quote the next thing we will see is that the quote is TOO HIGH,
so many thing like that pls is too annoying why because some of you guru has ran away from here.

If all ran away who will make the this section great again pls that is why I will mention some names here to pls come back again and let’s rebuild this Nairaland as a whole

Wow, B for Brabus, longest time, how is work and family I believed all is well.
We are happy to see you again.

Go and get these done and wait for Professionals to give
you likely cost.

Building plan
Site location
Type of finishing you desire to have.(low, medium and high end finishing)

How much did brabus paid you for this advert
In case you have forgotten
Brabus builds only titanic ( sinking houses ) and he’s very arrogant
He’s one of the reasons why many people left
He was banished as an outkast
Nobody wants him back
He swindled lots of people of their hard earned cash

without re- igniting tensions - i just want to say this thread has been extremely helpful to a novice like myself. a 3bed house in Abj is almost complete and my family (whom i am building it for ) would be moving in, in a few weeks

So far, i have spent just under 7million naira ---- around 6.8million to make it "habitable".

whats been completed so far includes 3bed (all ensuite) - toilets/showers, french windows, Turkish security doors etc

Floor tiling everywhere (inside and outside - used nigerian ceramic tiles)

POP everywhere - the living room actually has those POP designs with "hidden lights", all doors fitted,

Electrical/Plumbing done but waiting for NEPA to come do their bits, Fence has been erected but not plastered

Whats outstanding

Nepa - connection

Carpenter ish - builds of the Kitchen cabinet/bedroom wardrobes

Borehole (i was given a very high bill, 1 millionaire for borehole at the inception of the work and i just decided to channel the monies to other aspects and perhaps deal with the borehole last

Exterior flooring (interlocking)

Gate/plaster fencing

Painting.


I embarked on this project January of this year because i was tired of paying abuja rent for my mum and didnt want to renew her tenancy when it expires towards the later part of this year. I got someone a QS to supervise the project for me as i am somewhere in afghanistan + being a novice. We have had our ups and downs throughout the project but so far, we have carried on and i can vouch for the work he has done.

I tried to use some services from some of the "tradesmen" on this thread and was unfortunately disappointed - I however found the numerous advises from some others here very valuable - especially as it was like a 2nd and sometimes 3rd opinion which equally helped me save costs: but more importantly, helped me know that the advise i was given by my QS was a good advice.

I will post pics just before they move in but just want to encourage anyone whom like myself, would want to commence on a project and isnt sure they will be able to nor is discouraged, start with what you have and set your self a realistic timeline based on your personal circumstances, get a good QS and see what God can do......i ensured my family visited the site every 3 - 4wks and made video calls whilst there to assess the progress of the work as well.

Finally, do not bow to family pressure to hand your project to a family member especially, if like me you are building by proxy because sorry be your name...... notorise your work with your Site supervisor or QS - i always ensured all my communications regarding instructions and monies were typed via emails/chats and kept phone calls to the QS to a minimum because- NEVER say NEVER

Also, dont cut corners - i remember when i tried cutting corners for the plaster work because i was told here that i could get my plastering done for cheap, yeah that cost me as i had to pay to have the work done again

Anyhoo, thats me for now, GOD bless us all

Is it not possible to cut electric wires with insulated pliers, getting it disconnected from power source? I'm just thinking...

Dubemcapital1:






With due respect sir, A builder is a Contractor whose job is to construct a civil structure BY employing a necessary workforce :
1. Engineer
2. Workmen (skilled)
3. Labourers (unskilled)
4. Materials
5. Other resources.

But a civil engineer is someone who has acquired knowledge of designing, constructing and maintenance of a structure.

Therefore, just as homeowners, a builder hires an engineer to aid his work with technical or professional aspects.

So, by implication, a civil engineer can be a builder but a builder is not an engineer.

Howbeit, a builder's job description does not include the bone of contention


Thanks

Dubemcapital

Thanks for the explanation. But you seem not to understand what I mean by a "Builder".
An Education on my position
A Builder is a professional who studied building or building technology or any other related discipline in the built environment in any higher institution of learning and registered with the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON). They are specially and primarily trained for the construction of buildings in it's entirety. Engineers (e.g. structural, electrical and mechanical), architects, quantity surveyors etc. are respected "CONSULTANTS" on the building site.
I hope our dear nation will pass her building code (NBC) to law to regulate the operations of Professionals in the built environment and ensure sanity in the construction industry.

Congrats on your successful project. Pls in case you need to develop another bungalow or a more structurally complex project, pls engage a professional Builder instead of QS for structural safety and durability. The QS can estimate and control costs for you. Congrats again.
