Casting of the Parapet ( for the front pillars only).to save cost of wood, we'd to cast it one by one i.e when this one has dried, we'd remove and move the wood to the second pillars to cast it own parapet as well. Everything need to set before roofing.Stay tuned...

olukaygold: This is so low budget and all I use precast too But is this your definition of pre cast Very poor actually Also your budget of using 20 Bags of cement is just funny Very Do you mean you are using just 20 bags for the block setting What about cement used in the foundation stage What about cement for your lintels(pre cast) What about cement for your columns This is so unrealistic |

We are watching you closely... I will only advice that while you're trying "cheaper" way of doing things, pls don't compromise safety. Moreso, don't be intimidated by all this " english speaking " so called professional, we have used some of them b4, they failed woefully. They are only interested in the money... If you do a good job at the end, you have me as your next client. I will test you with a small project. I have saved your digit. 8 Likes |

Before roofing the house, we're thinking of adding another two self cons to make it five self cons and roof it all together at once. |
Re: Building Of My Cheap Self Cons with Pics by olukaygold(m): 1:13pm On Feb 05, 2021 |
For the two more self cons we're adding to the fleet, we budget 800 6" blocks plus 120 9"blocks.the storex tank would be at the top of one kitchen of the building,so reason why we're using 9" to construct the exact place carrying the load(Tank) with the help of 4 pillars. |

rotecch77: Please what's the standard number of 9" and 6" a bag of cement can mould?. Thank you. |

Re: Building Of My Cheap Self Cons with Pics by aremuforlife(m): 2:00am On Feb 06, 2021 |
lilvicky68: The moulding of your block depends on the mixer, if you have a good and experience mixer, 9'30-32 is ok while 6'42-45, I am talking from experience. |
Re: Building Of My Cheap Self Cons with Pics by Akerewe(m): 5:49am On Feb 06, 2021 |
aremuforlife:Well done good people, u all mean it's still ideal nd in vogue to mould block by oneself in this 21st century? Is it still in practice to use hand moulded block to build? Any advantage over machine mould in respect to cost saving and shapes? |
Re: Building Of My Cheap Self Cons with Pics by aremuforlife(m): 9:25am On Feb 06, 2021 |
Akerewe:There is nothing bad moulding block in 21 st century, while are we still usjngbhand to dig the foundation, we should be using excavator for it, just because we are in 21st century. 1 Like |

Everything is Set, I used 20 bags of cements to mould the blocks,my budget is 900blocks(45×20) to complete the remaining two self contains we're adding to the fleet. And remember the Storex Tank would be at the top of the building (converting one of the kitchen to head the tank). 25bags of cement is budgeted for the Casting of the foundation,Block settings,full dpc,bricklaying, Precast and Plastering of the two self contains.Keep following |
