House Construction

Huh? Oxygen?

From local volunteer firefighters experience, the smoke will engulf the whole place up. Smoke will enter the bathroom, lalo na kung enclosed. Youll be inhaling smoke. Yun ang actual cause ng casualty.

And turning on the faucet to get oxygen, will just get you burned, bec water heats up easily.

I guess yan ang cause why people hide sa banyo. They think it's just common sense. Water puts out fire and the bathroom has lots of water. Hindi nila naiisip na sa usok sila matetepok.

Bathrooms usually have an exhaust linked to the light switch. This will suck smoke in from the house as bathroom doors are usually ventilated in old houses.

Fire exits of high rise buildings have a pressure duct to prevent smoke from entering the staircase.

The Philippines has a strict fire code which cannot be retroactively applied to old structures, however it may in some instances. Old houses and townhouses in New Manila were built before these codes and tend to be constructed with more fire prone materials.

in more modern bathrooms, perhaps.
but in my early 70s bathroom, i upgraded the light switch, into also activating the.... radio! alas, i have no exhaust fan facility.
heh heh.
users initially found it strange, listening to the radio while comforting oneself, but later agreed it's a good thing.

Speaking of windows for bathrooms, I have a friend who has a rest house on Lipa. They designed the bathrooms with no windows or walls (well except the walls connected to the room. Outside is vegetation then a cliff to a creek. Kinda weird at first taking a crap or a bath totally open like that hehe.

majority of newly built townhouse ang liliit ng bintana sa comfort room hirap sumingaw. Hindi nga magkasya ulo.

Sa c.r ko kuha ng upuan makaakyat na sa very wide windows. Think of lagayan ng aircon. The purpose eh natural lighting para hindi mag mold at hindi amoy kulob.

Ang nangyayari too much focus paano pagkasyahin ang 3bedroom sa 60sqm lot , 180 floor area. Grabe kaliit kwarto. Ang dapat niliitan common area sa 2nd & 3rd floor. Mas ok kung each floor nyan one big room lang or if you want more rooms eh no more common area.

Tapos yung sampayan pinagkasya sa dirty kitchen. So ang effect sa car garage ginawang laundry area.

bibilli ka ng ganyan townhouse sa presyong 16millon sa kamuning kamias area eh magpagawa ka na lang sarili mo.

Saw this townhouse where it looks like they screwed in flat sheets on the exposed concrete wall. Looks ok. Although parang marami pa rin yatang entrance point for water to seep in. I guess may waterproofing pa rin sa concrete before they applied the flat sheets.

Screws render masonry waterproofing not so effective.[emoji1781]

So is there waterproofing sa concrete before the long span?


Edit: so wala nang waterproofing pala?

The rib-type longspan sheets function as seal. No masonry coating necessary.

shortly after construction, our house's firewall would regularly leak during the rainy season.
dad tried various brush-applied so-called waterproofing products, to no avail.
finally, he covered our long-leaking firewall by nailing on, flat GI sheets.
after several decades, it hasn't leaked yet.

This is what my in laws did. Nakapalaman sa loob ng concrete slab yung rib type sheets.

Sadly we didn't know about this nung ginawa yung concrete roof namin.

What's the minimum width of the sidewalk in a subdivision? I've read somewhere it's 1.2m. Tama ba? Planning to extend the garage gate outward nang kaunti and I think nasa 2 meters ang iniwang sidewalk ng developer. Other houses parang half a meter na lang yata ang tinira sa sidewalk because of extending their gates. Pero ayoko naman silang tularan.

They vary from 1 development to another. Check your subdivision's Construction Guidelines & Deed of Restrictions. Everything should be there, sir.

Or check the length of your lot from the roadside to your back, anything in excess from your property line to the street is the sidewalk.

well, as travs says, the rules may vary from one private development to another.
but in my opinion, if it's not my property, i wouldn't chance invading on it. it's not right.
it's a sidewalk, sir.

[papi smith]

Btw, in our village, the sidewalk on the main road is 2 meters plus malapad ung kalye, ang ganda tignan at tree lined pa, para nga naman mag mukhang prime subdivision, but the secondary roads are really tight.

travahans,

Pag gagawa ako ng bahay whats the best anti-ahnay na natural??? I dont want to poison the soil im a treehugger. Do i need to plant around the area more lemongrass / citronella para magrepel?

Kung baga ano ginagawa ng mga kopong-kopong years, mga civilizational wisdom just like my focus on windows open air.

Also sa materials use ang naiisip ko lang natural anti-ahnay = glass house.

as much as possible i want the kagalingan way maintenance-free.
