What's the name of this liquid chemical?

The chemical name is Action 40. You should be able to get it anywhere they sell herbicide or other related chemicals.

There is also a plant that repel snakes, the name is Termogine flower (common name). That might take a longer time to grow. It is better you go for the chemical.

if I'm the occupant of these rooms, I'd feel uncomfortable knowing that my neighbor can peep and listen to everything I do. imagine having a randy neighbor that brings home screamers. it's now a battle between cross ventilation and privacy, I'd choose privacy cos I can install AC. close up those windows.

what if u live in a terraced house that shares a wall? smiley

Hello everyone,

I am a silent reader of the thread and have been following the thread for a while now.

I have a plot of land in an estate which has a setback that needs to be followed when drawing the building plan.

I need the service of an architect that is ARCON certified and a COREN engineer that is well experienced.

Kindly contact via my number in my signature/profile.

I actually live in a terraced house and I share a party wall with my neighbor, and I don't hear jack. what you have here is open windows less than 1m apart. I can actually borrow charger from the other occupant just by stretching my hand from the window.

Hello,

I have a building that has gotten to roofing stage. I have tried contacting some of the core members that I have seen here but no response. Is Money121 still into roofing?

Please can anyone recommend a trustworthy supplier?

A design brief is achieved base on client submission and expectation[/b] notting absolutely is wrong wit the design pls,,,,,If fact is a perfect tourch

Probably it could be the client choice to have 3 WC in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 ensuite or maybe not, I still believe there should be a balance between architectural details and practicality, usefulness and functionality.
An apartment should be a community living not a private room or dormitory. I have been to a handful of Building Fair I am yet to see architecture/floor plan overkill like SOME architect do, it gives me the idea they don't utilised their expertise to advise the client.

If you can eliminate the noise that will be a big plus to this grade of door , actually I know of high quality door of Nigeria Made used by some big banks in Nigeria without noise and well sealed against water penetration (see attached pic) but it’s pricey.

Also you can fine-tone the finishings to look more elegant( demands/ cost will determines this) but never the less it will add more value to your product.


There are nice doors here bro. Nice one.

I need advice from expert in the house pls.
I want to build a two deck (2 storey) and my Engr said we are going to use the this foundation type I uploaded in this picture.
Pls should I tell him to go on?
I have not seen where people dug foundation for pillars only, chained it and casted DPC and followed up the block formation.
Is this really going to carry the the two storey building?

what exactly is wrong with that design? and why are you making it your wahala by trying to discredit it..

cc: mssiah - you have a nice design,.... kudos to the designer...
A client may a have a request but it's the duty of the architect to let the client know the usefulness, cost, maintenance, functionality and flexibility. An experienced architect once told me never design a bedroom or garage that you cannot convert to an office or a house you can not sell in the future.
3WC and 2 bathrooms in 2 bedroom is an overkill.

My last project was a 7 bedrooms duplex and they are all ensuite plus a Visitor's toilet downstairs. It's all based on choice. No Architect can convince me otherwise because that is what I want. May be overkill but not for me, that is what is called personal choice. But in my rented houses, of course not.

Pls house I just moved into my place. My concern is i have killed 4 scorpions in about 2 weeks. 3 baby ones and an average size one.
I am concerned how it could be getting in.
DPC was done. Floors r tiled (except 2 toilets i ll do later)
I usually see it in the parlor and it is tiled.

How can i eradicate it?
How do i even know where they are hiding. I have swept everywhere and didn't see it.

I fumigated in August before moving in.

Thanks

professionals in the house pls can you give a rough estimate of how much it will take to
complete this rental property.
its a very dry land .

i want standard finishing , nothing too fancy.

The privacy issue that’s a concern for some can be resolved by using Clerestory Windows. Though I think the concern is exaggerated.

My 1 bedroom flats have 2WC and the 2 bedrooms have 3WC.

Tenants are humans too cheesy

But seriously this should be expected based on the clientele I hope to attract.
