At my side, I’m still paying same rate.

Same here but I have designed a bonus system that I use. If certain expectations are met then I pay more.

I’ve not used my upper floor main terrace more than 30 times since the house was built 8 years ago. It always feel like I’m traveling climbing upstairs.

I have no supplier that I can recommend. As a general rule I don’t recommend artisans or suppliers.

I’m blessed on the location of my current site. I just walk outside and flag down a passing truck, any passing truck and I put in an order.

Search "how to calculate the roofing sheet you might need for your house", you will find formula to help you out, 6000x15900 wouldn't be enough to give you an answer, the height of kingpost and gable play crucial role in determining the areas involved.

I am beginning to develop disdain for stairs.....I use to consider it a cardio exercise but it's no longer fun, it's easy to install stair chairlift here as one ages or developed bad knee.... Bungalow is cheaper and eliminate stair climbing.

My master bedroom is on the ground floor. My office is upstairs. There are weeks I wouldn’t step upstairs to do anything.

Stair chairlift is cool but a nice bungalow is better as we age.

I’ll never build another bungalow to live in again. My next private building starting shortly is a duplex.

In my case I think it’s safer.

Our duplexes are designed differently, the bedrooms are mostly on the 1st or 2nd floor.......so climbing stair once a day is unavoidable.....good thing work places has multiple lifts or escalators...... bungalow seem a better solution for stair climbing and easy movement around the house.

Oh! Thanks for taking time to explain, I now get it.
abdulwastecx:


You see my friend, that type of foundation is called downstand beam-raft foundation but a special kind where the raft is built on stabilized soil.

For that reason, the action of the foundation work where the slab must have a direct contact with the sand fill (which must be compacted properly and CBR test carried out to make sure that the bearing capacity of the soil can safely carry the foundation.

When the void inside the foundation is left unfilled and decked like he did above, then you are not going to have any action and the foundation will fail by settlement.

That is supposed to be a mix of 1:6 for plastering, what is wrong with it?


The mix he used or using is not for plastering or rendering but usage as regular mortar mix to form walls.

Kindly take a look at the picture on mix that Brabus/n3xt posted.

Madam you still want to buy sand in tons?
It will surely end in tears cos u wont be able to measure the tonnage delivered to you.
This is what I am doing in abuja: when I started, I contacted four suppliers to deliver "12 tyre" truck load of sand at the prevailing market price. I then zoomed on the supplier that gave me the largest quantity on ground. I have been using her without any magomago. Even when she changed trucks, the latest was never below the previous quantity.
I don't think I can ever tell a supplier to give me x tons of sand or granite.
