redgem: The engineer is in love with those protruding porches! Watch out for some mighty pillars(columns) too! They like them alot. If you don't like your guest toilet door outside then insist it is inside. It is your house! It is a big security risk. 3 Likes |

Please please when moulding blocks, how many bags of cement will go with a trip of sand? The engineer said 18bags of cement for a trip of sand and he is moulding 1 cement = 38 blocks. I Googled and was told 8 bags of cement for a trip of sand. I just want to confirm I am not being cheated. Help a girl out please �

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by smallsmall: 4:30pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
redgem: redgem: Question 1: - The number of 18Bags of Cement could be wrong and could be accurate, based on the tonnage (5Tons, 10Ton, 15Tons, Full Tonnage or Ashewo Tonnage!) of your Trip of sand. All that cannot gurrantee whether you are cheated or not. - 38 Blocks per bag of Cement is not bad and even that does not gurrantee you wont still be cheated. - Focus your effort, if you are worried about being cheated, on ensuring that yoru Bags of Cement dont disappear over the fence or get resold back to a nearby Cement Seller............ and that requires your pr4sence and supervision of the work as it is being done. Those Workmen can even use empty Bags of Cement to replace an unused one for you, if you are the tyoe that thinks counting th enumber of used bags to tally with the number of bags of Cement you gave them will give you any idea. ![]() ![]() Question 2: a) No one can tell you how many Blocks will be required to Lintel level because you rPlan doesnot contain dimensions/measurements. The full dimensions will be needed to estimate the number of Blocks. b) That your "Engineer" should be sent away (but l am sure he is not an Engineer, just some Artisan/Bricklayer). Question 3: The position of your Guest Toilet was okay, how on earth can he move it outside? Does he want to come at th emiddle of the night to use the toilet when you are sleeping? Guest Toilet is for your guest, people you allow into your house, not strangers passing along the road and need somewhere to shit. ![]() Send the Toilet back to where it belongs and tell him to stick to your plan, if you still decide to continue with him otherwise, keep his ass out fo your building project. Your foundation does not inspire much confidence, l hope the blinding is thick enough and the Cement Mix Ratio is adequate? Never compromise on the strength of your foundation, it is better to over-build the foundation (that can only cost you money), than to under-build the foundation, that would cost you a lot of money and the whole house, within a short time! ![]() More Power to your elbow. BTW, l love your plan. 1 Like |

redgem: Dont remove it, please, it is very useful and necessary. Put it INSIDE, it is a Toilet for YOUR Guest, not some random passer-by! What is the door doing OUTSIDE, when the guest that will use it are already INSIDE your house? Moreover, the more door access you have OUTSIDE, the costlier it is to secure them and the riskier your overall security becomes. I dont know what @ArcToyin is thinking with his comment about "where do you want him to put it"? That sort of statement should never come from an Architect because l am sure their training involves safety, security as well as aesthetics in building design. Is the "Bricklayer" not supposed to stick to the Arch-design of his Client? Or is the Bricklayer and ArcToyin one and the same person? (Na serious joke sha ![]() ![]() 6 Likes 1 Share |
