Building a house in Trinidad

[hong kong phooey]

Radica trading and Douglas and Douglas upholsterers has a rubber that can replace it if yours bad. Still I cant see why it should leak. Put a skyon polycarbonate awning over it.

Normally rain don't hit it ..but with the "backwards rainfall" hitting entire door ..I do have the awning for it but I'll try a new seal also

.

yeah try a new seal first .

Guys I have a lot of land on a street where there is no water main , the existing houses on the same street have connections as they are much closer to the main rd which is closest to the nearest main. My property is furthest down the street , beyond what wasa permits a service connection distance to be at. Anyone know of any plumbing companies that can give me a quote on installing a main down the said street or even any cost effective suggestions , thanks

[adnj]

WASA standard connections are 3/4". Assuming that they have provided you with a connection point on the main line, that there is sufficient water pressure, that there is a services easement, and that you are within about 300 feet of the connection point; you can consider installing 3/4" polyethylene tubing to provide a service entrance.

In Aranguez east where there isno main inside the side roads ,what I've seen people do is to run lines from out on the main Rd. Mind you there are many houses inside the roads , so the lines are jumbled all how. I wonder sometimes how they find their own if any problems. Approximately what distance you looking at?

All kinds of things can work well enough when you never have to worry about frost.

Hi All. I have a concrete driveway that gets moss every rainy season. Is there a way to permanently remove the moss when I power wash it? I've heard there is a chemical that some ppl use that prevents it from coming back. A next man tells me he just pours raw bleach but I'm thinking that won't be a permanent solution.
Lemme know if anyone has tried anything that works. Thx

[*KRONIK*]

Yea

SCL in san juan (opposite hadco, off don miguel rs, san juan) has a moss and mildew inhibitor. It works ok, i did some control experiments on a wall by me with it, it doesnt stop the moss completely, but the treated area doesnt grow back as fast

What time frame would you say for the moss to grow back significantly?

Concrete sealer applied to the concrete prevents moss and mildew. Seen it in bhagwansings

[adnj]

Sprinkle quick lime, hypochlorite powder or diuron periodically. That should prevent or kill moss and/or algae.

Sealing absolutely helps but when you powerwash, you are likely stripping some of the sealant.

[*KRONIK*]

Dawg, wasnt any proper experiment.
I put some in a spray bottle, and spray a spot on the wall after powerwashing, that side didnt get any heavy re-growth.

I didnt even dilute to specs
So i cant give any real answers

Like maybe 700-800ft, field officer said pressure too low last they came

Be creative. I not telling you what to do, but I know someone who lives on a hill and uses a pump to bring up the water from the line.

[star23]

nah govt wouldnt do that man

After you have recieved the connection from wasa well sure you can boost the pressure as you please but if pressure is too low on inspection and the field officer straight out denies your application then there's nothing in the first place to become creative with, which is the situation am in.

You will likely be required to install a remote break tank and boost pump.

Many homeowners have break tanks and boosters installed . This kind of installation happens fairly regularly but usually only for factories, large buildings, buildings at elevation, etc.

The tank is a requirement. It is illegal to pump water directly from a WASA connection.

You'll need friction and flow rate calculations for he 700+ ft run to determine the supply line diameter and the pump size.

It is illegal to pump water from an adjacent property, so you may be required by WASA to own or have lease of the portion of the property that the break tank sits on. You may also need to have your own electrical connection at the remote location.

WASA could also install an extension to the water main line and/or a booster depending on the pressure at the existing outlet near you. If WASA does decide to install additional infrastructure, you will likely bear the cost for some, if not all, of the installation.

After pressure washing, you can try polyv as a cheap sealer.
It works ok. I did out driveway and has helped a lot.
Dilute it and use a garden sprayer

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I've actually seen that moss and mildew inhibitor in tru value. I'll try it out and see. If it doesn't then poly v for it.

Flat land actually

[pugboy]

That's a bit odd, if others get connection and there is a mains similarly then why not?

Have so many place in this country where pipes are dry but yet they get mains connection

[*KRONIK*]

Years ago, had rel bobol in WASA

“help yourself programme” had rel racket.
Ppl pay small money and get mains run in all kinda backroad

Now that wasa in financial problems, they suddenly moving “by the book” and now they not giving conections when if beyond certain distance.

I applied for a property about a year ago
Main stopped at 520 feet from the land, but the wasa man feel sorry for me (rel prayers talk pass) and granted me the approval.
But it have ppl who 1000feet from the main, and have long service waaaaayyyyy down the road.
I asked about that, he say them thing do when he wasnt in charge and he aint interfereing with that.

[pugboy]

As spann say in Aranguez on the side streets you will see white pvc lines the entire street length from the main road to the houses down the street all jumble up in the box drain

[*KRONIK*]

I remember that as a child, the only main was on the main road, every body in our street had long service connection. So all the pipes made a bundle in the drain by the main road. But not PVC, metal pipes. I remember when the plumber come to fix a leak, he used to have a huge pipe threader he had to use to cut back threading to join the pipes...


Lol

[daring dragoon]

hear nah, advice needed as to how to seal a tile wall in the bathroom. the back of the wall the paint is raising and white power forming not sure if its mold but its on the other side of the bathroom wall which leads me to believe that water is soaking thru the tile or the grout. what can i use to seal the whole wall and grout. i am thinking clear coat but it dries kinda yellow in my opinion, anyone know of something better ?

Guys! What do you all recommend for sealing/waterproofing a newly poured (2-3 weeks) concrete roof? My intention is to build eventually on top so i cant use anything that will hamper construction/tile laying in the near future! Ive checked out a product called watertite paint from sissons and ive seen a harricrete sealant as well as thompsons waterseal for concrete at dansteel. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I find that even if you waterproof,the coldness causes the steel inside to rust , swell and damage the concrete. If I was waiting a while before building, I would get some used wood and galvanized sheets and build a slightly sloping shed over the floor , it could be just one foot going down to nothing on the other side. There's always someone taking down a wooden roof so the deals are available. Right now I have some 2x4 pine to sell cheap.

I didnt know this, i have a decking opened for about 3 years. I plan to go up with the roof in a year time.
1. Is there possibly steel damage by now?
2. What's your best advice in my sittuation planning to cover in a year from now?
