You could have just done an epoxy floor, guaranteed seamless[/quote]

I'm building a new building for my business and I'm going with the epoxy floor. I did some research and I agree with you on this. Getting the concrete perfectly level before epoxy is my main priority ,because I can't bear to see a wavy floor ,and it will be highlighted by the epoxy. Rory and others ,any ideas?[/quote][/quote]
Call SCL Trinidad Limited (675-5555) and see if they have a self levelling screed that could be applied over the floor with proper bond on which you could apply the epoxy coating.[/quote][/quote][/quote]

Hey, did you get through, what do they have available and what's the cost?[/quote]

The second story is just about complete and when all the painting and installation of glass is completed and the scaffolding is moved in a couple of weeks ,then I'll be attacking the ground floor. This way it will be the last thing and will be less prone to any damage. I'll post updates when it's being done.

Seeking recommendations for anyone local that can do custom made wooden doors (internal and external) ? I heard about someone in Rio Claro, but didn't get a contact number.

Also looking for someone to do a small patio roof. Any recommendations for a roofman would be welcomed.

Thanks

Lots of joiners make doors. Why do you need custom built though? You can get almost any standard size and material ready made. Bhagwansinghs and ABC has a wide range .If it's odd sizes though, try Francis Woodworking in Cantaro Village ,Santa Cruz. He did some mahogany French doors for me, installed the glass ,everything and they were perfect. German Tech in Williamsville, Ramkal's Sawmilling in Penal comes to mind too. They both do cupboard doors and panel doors too. The key to getting good quality door is to make sure the wood used is properly dried.

Whats the most economical and efficient way to mix concrete (4 yards)?
Ransome mixer, hand mix, ready mix???

[adnj]

I'm not sure of the current prices for a truck and pump but if you're only casting one slab, Readymix may be less expensive.

Renting a mixer and the number of workers to move and level the concrete, the wheel barrows, and the planks will add up.

ReadyMix. Less headache in terms of cost, consistency and time.

4 cu\ m is just $3100.

Not to mention requiring space to have the gravel delivered and place to mix

4 cubic yards (op wants) is 3 cubic meters. Can you order 3 m^3?

[rspann]

Yes, I ordered 1 cu m once.

Thanks.

Outline Planning Permission

Outline Approval should first be obtained before an application for full planning permission is submitted.  Outline Approval informs an applicant whether or not the type of development proposed is consistent with existing land use policy and provides overall development standards applicable to the particular site.  Submission of an outline application reduces the risk of unnecessary expense in the preparation of plans and technical drawings for a development that may not be approved.

 

To obtain outline approval, you must submit the following documents to the regional office responsible for the area concerned:

Two copies of the completed Outline Application Form (TCP/3)

Two copies of a location sketch with sufficient information to enable the site to be clearly and positively identified by a field officer.  Information such as the plot number, postal address, number of the nearest light pole or mile mark, prominent landmark, culvert and other similar information, will be useful on location sketches.

The numbered cadastral sheet on which the site is located (if available).  Information on how to obtain a cadastral sheet (map of the location) can be located by following the 'Maps and Survey Control' link at the end of this section

Copy of the deed or oldest and latest tenancy receipt and survey plan relating to the parcel of land to be developed. 

Application forms (TCP/3) can be obtained by following the link below or from the nearest regional office.  A link providing contact information for the regional offices is located at the end of this section.  Detailed plans and drawings are not required at this stage.

An acknowledgement slip will be issued to the applicant when the application form is submitted.  The Development Control Inspector from the Town and Country Planning Division will visit the site to collect information pertaining to the application.  Then, an evaluation and report is attached to the application and submitted for consideration.  A Notice of Grant of Approval or Refusal of Outline Planning Permission is prepared and sent by mail to the applicant.  Outline approval can be obtained within a two-month period.

Good morning tuners,
I would like some help in a situation i currently face.
We live on government leasehold property, however d lease has ended and we have also breached the lease agreement.

My grandfather was the lease holder but his 2 sons built house on the plot of land against the agreement which stated only one house allowed.

He left a will for his house and land to go to his wife and on her death the land to be shared between the 3 sons, one gets the main house and 1 acre land and the 2 others who built on the land to get 1 acre each.

How do we proceed to get the land shared and the lease extended or what else can b recommended in this situation?

I don't think you can change the lease abs sub divide the land, most you can do is get the original lease renewed and have a signed agreement between the leaseholders stating who occupies which portion

[adnj]

If the lease has expired with no conditions of continuity, then there is no lease.

You cannot renew a lease after expiration but you can request a new lease with the same or other conditions.

When a new lease is written, you will need to notify the owner of improvements made, meaning the additional homes, etc.

If the lease had a condition of one house built and more were built, there is an argument that the improvements were made at risk and no compensation should be awarded in case of cessation of the lease. It sounds as if this were an agricultural lease and the limits of agricultural lands would mean that the additional homes were not approved either, which further increases your risk.

Sharing the leased land is subletting and that may or may not be allowed in the lease.

My samsung tv keeps the last state after a power failure. If it was on before a power failure it turns on after power is restored. If it was off before power failure it remains off after power is restored. There is no timer or scheduled setting enabled. I not seeing no other setting to address such. Online help is failure too. I tink is a un5 series 49” model

[Nexus]

Make sure all lease rents are paid! Once the state is accepting it makes the case for them keeping the agreement running. You can enquire about a renewal but that will very likely open a can of worms; they will do an investigation etc. If I was you, don't trouble trouble, the families will have to come to their own agreements with repect to access, succession etc.
There are hundreds of persons that have violated their leases like this, there was an attempt to change the land use from Agri to resisdential and commercial in the St Augustine, Monroe Rd and bamboo areas, but that was the last govt. Have no idea what became of that, as I say, don't chook a Jep nest!

Read the deed from cover to affidavit multiple times. I have seen many caroni/sugar welfare 20 & 30 year leases which were expired and on month-month tenancies, which were then converted to freehold by request of the commissioner of state lands.

At the end of the day, you have to talk with COSL about this.

Well remember we in breach of the lease due to 3 houses on d plot rather than one. So not sure we will be able to get it renewed.

[pugboy]

I have not heard of any govt agency going to evict any expired lease owners and there are surely many.

For example in Woodbrook if you see an old dilapidated house, chances are it have family bacchanal and the lease also expired so the property cannot be sold over.
However to renew requires the property to adhere to all the normal t&c stipulations, e.g.
Wall setbacks etc.

Leased lands do carry a deed, and generally they start like this. Otherwise instead of the President it has NHA/HDC or whatever.
If there is a lease agreement, it has to have a paper with the terms of agreement. Maybe not a deed like this specifically, but whatever you have as this lease agreement, read that inside and out.
