I have not done it but I know it's something people do. However, you need to watch out for electrocution because water and electricity doesn't really go well together

Thanks for your contribution, bro. Below pictures give an idea of what I am trying to achieve. The four-legs of the tank stand will form the pillars of the gen house underneath, and the metal stand will extend above the roof of the gen house, giving then tank more elevation and proving more water pressure into the house.

Please, can anyone share the address of Ogun State Ministry of Urban planning? I want to process Building plan approval. Are they even the ones I need to visit? Please, share some advise with me or direct me to a resource person. Thanks!

Thanks for the response, sir. But can you expatiate more on why you think it isn't a good idea? I would imagine that it will even make the tank stand more solid.


Nobody knows what safety measures you'll take to build a shed that will stand as cover for the electrical equipments you're installing for your change over switch and others.

Also spilled water over electricity is not good and if such is being built on a steel, you know what that means. We can't be too sure of whatever form of insulation you do.
Thanks.

*The Difference Between a Businessman and an Entrepreneur*

A businessman often relies on traditional methods and ideas, whereas an entrepreneur seeks to create innovative ventures with fresh perspectives.

The entrepreneur's creativity is evident in their approach to attracting customers. For instance, instead of simply selling fruits, an entrepreneurial mindset might involve showcasing the fruit's potential to produce high-quality juice, thereby adding value and appeal to the product. This innovative thinking sets entrepreneurs apart from businessmen, who may focus solely on sales without injecting new ideas into their business strategies."

Some key differences highlighted here include:

1. *Innovative thinking*: Entrepreneurs are more likely to introduce new ideas and approaches.
2. *Value-added products*: Entrepreneurs seek to enhance their products or services.
3. *Customer attraction*: Entrepreneurs use creative strategies to appeal to customers.

Top of the day to the elders and professionals in the house, I have a question about raising my building from DPC to lintel level now and I'd like to know if I can raise the walls now and cast the pillars in like 2 weeks from now, or the casting has to be done immediately so the walls don't fall. What's your take on this, I look forward to your responses.

Unfortunately majority of the engineers don't post here anymore.
You may go back in page to earlier period and quote the engineers and builders.
I like the fact that you are willing to work and also work your way up and not outrightly asking for works.

In an area with a very bad electricity, how much is enough to completely run solar for a 5 bedroom duplex?
NB: I am willing to use generator for the pumping machine whenever it’s needed (since a full tank can last a week or two weeks)
2)I need the freezer/freezers powered 24/7 and maybe oven can go with it. Optional if the cooker can be on it but I don’t mind running that on gas
3)Tv and AC. Maybe two AC at a time because it’s not possible for the whole 5 bedroom to be occupied at the same time and in the scenario, I am willing to switch to gen for the period.

I just need the house fully powered

If it’s stone coated that means is not original and if it got fade you can change it all or you continue using it sir …. There a lot of different stone coated for those who know and recognize it sir….

Can you provide the rating of the heavy appliances like A.c , fridge and the oven?
For the A.C , how many hp.

If not an estimated sizing can be done to have the idea about the cost of the installation.

When set with good standards, blocks can stay up for months or even years without putting pillars or lintels. Except there are other physical factors like animals leaning on the block walls or other heavy materials that can push it down. You can lay your blocks now and cast pillars later.

I always do man works if i don't have any job at hand for sure.... I just don't have connection to people that always get contracts steadily......
