A friend told me to watch your videos because I am building in Ghana but I currently live in the USA. I watched 4Ever Home videos and they were Blacktastic! I'm working with a shoestring budget and cannot afford too many building mistakes and zero tolerance for scams. Your videos are Blacknificent! I wish I had your crew in Ghana when I get to the Septic Tank part. Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for the comment. I will be sure to let the crew that worked on the septic tank know about your compliment. Thank you. Yes, we have some skilled masons, formworkers and ironworkers who have worked together for many years. However, they have to be managed. Especially, their expectations around compensation, as I am also on a shoestring budget. Where is your project in Ghana? Tell us about it. Thanks for tuning in. Hoping to hear from you again. Cheers!
Awesome.. now tell your kids to take what they’ve learned from the US, & build a public sewer system over there. Tax 5,000,000 citizens $5 bucks each per year to tap in, invest $1,000,000 in maintenance, then pocket the rest. 🤑 Oh, & don’t forget to start shaming the public for racism, safety violations, (or whatever other bogus ‘social injustice’ they can conjure up) to distract people from the fact they’re getting filthy rich. 😆
Hi @purpleXoption, Thanks for the post. Agreed we need to build public sewage systems. That requires collecting taxes without a few misappropriating revenues collected. There some community leaders, not all, who do what you describe in your second point or paragraph. I hopeful for a brighter future 🙏🏾
Nyebro, these workers are impeccable with a great work ethic and dedication. I can attest to first hands experience with Togolese workers. I had five Togolese brothers worked on my project for a month and they earned my ultimate respect and admiration. They went beyond expectations and delivered without complaints. Kudos to these guys. I love videos like this. I get really excited to see progress. Great job and keep them coming bro. Thanks

Thanks for the comment. Considered biodigesters, which are smaller, but decided early on against them. Great to see another veteran of concrete house building on the channel. I hope I can reach out to you with questions should the need arise. Thanks for tuning in. Cheers and be safe!
@@AyiviTV pls why did you decide against the biofil? That's what I intend to go for, I'm not at that level of my project so I haven't done much digging on it. However I'd love if you can give a little insight as to why ,hopefully that can help me in making that decision. Thanks.
Thank you for the excellent question. 1. One needs a location that has sandy sub-soil and good soil drainage for bio digesters. When it rains here, water drainage is relatively poor. 2. Lot size is very narrow 15mx40m, therefore limited in locations to place bio digesters. 3. Bio digesters are not commonly used in Lomé, Togo where this property is located. My plumbers do not have bio digester experience yet. 4. No appetite to try a relatively new technology since I will not be living in the house nor available to effectively deal with unforseen issues. In light of the above, from a risk management perspective, I have chosen the current prevailing technology in the area. Welcome to the channel!
@@AyiviTV this is a great insight thank you. I'm Ghanaian but my mom is togolese so every now and then I visit. Always think of buying a land and building there too. Much love and support ♥️
Good job done But formwork for the slabs suppose to be watertight to avoid loss of fine materials, water and other constituents of the concrete. My suggestion though
Hi there, thanks for tuning in again. Got it. I have had a good number of construction types look at this closely for sometime now. But I read you. I'll keep an eye on it. Please, watch some more videos carefully and provide your feedback. Much appreciated.
Ok. That's great. Those have a sandy sub-soil requirement. If water drainage after heavy rains is not excellent, you have to think twice. Not only that, for me living abroad, I will not be around to service or oversee servicing of a septic system. That traditional septic tank you see is designed for 10+ people living in the house year-round, hassle-free for quite a number of years. There are other considerations like the number of bathrooms vs the size of lot (narrow lot) and adequate placement of bio-digester(s). It is best for each owner to independently and properly evaluate what would work well. Thanks for the prompt.
Bjr, pour la fosse et les 3 puisard j'avais approvisionné 45 barres de fer 10 et 1 rouleau de fil de fer recuit. Je n'ai pas la quanitité uniquement pour la fosse septique.

Hi 👋🏾 thoroughly enjoyed this video, very interesting what you have done, awesome job & you have an amazing team, inspiring honestly.. I’m curious do you think there is an opportunity to do renewable energy from the waste? Could you also have designed 1 septic tank for 10 people where all waste goes in rather than 3 separate locations?
Hello Anthony, thanks for tuning in and thank you for the compliment. Here are some facts to consider. I am owner, funding this project with a somewhat busy schedule, living abroad. The plot size is 15x40 sqm with limited front and backyard space with 6 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and a laundry room. I had no interest in bio-digesters (in its infancy locally) due to the type of soil on the property. Bio-digesters require soil with good water drainage. I live abroad, I was not going to try an unfamiliar technology that is not commonplace in the local market. I will not be readily available to deal with costly problems caused by unfamiliar technologies. I hired an architect who brought in a civil engineering associate. The septic system was executed by an experienced mason who has built many septic tanks. I am very comfortable with how the 4 chamber and drainage well system works. Based on advice and my circumstances, I made the best decision. I hope this helps. Please, come again.🙏🏾

The filtered water enters the drainage well next to the garage entrance and begins soaking into the ground (depth of 3 meters.)
One of the drainage wells close to the building is for waste water from the kitchen (depth of 3 meters.)
The other drainage well is for bathroom waste water from the sinks and showers (depth of 3 meters.)
I hope you find this helpful. Thank you very much for tuning in. Please, do come back.
@@AyiviTV Thank you!
Hi 👋🏾 thoroughly enjoyed this video, very interesting what you have done, awesome job & you have an amazing team, inspiring honestly.. I’m curious do you think there is an opportunity to do renewable energy from the waste? Could you also have designed 1 septic tank for 10 people where all waste goes in rather than 3 separate locations?
Hello Anthony, thanks for tuning in and thank you for the compliment. Here are some facts to consider. I am owner, funding this project with a somewhat busy schedule, living abroad. The plot size is 15x40 sqm with limited front and backyard space with 6 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and a laundry room.
I had no interest in bio-digesters (in its infancy locally) due to the type of soil on the property. Bio-digesters require soil with good water drainage.
I live abroad, I was not going to try an unfamiliar technology that is not commonplace in the local market. I will not be readily available to deal with costly problems caused by unfamiliar technologies.
I hired an architect who brought in a civil engineering associate. The septic system was executed by an experienced mason who has built many septic tanks.
I am very comfortable with how the 4 chamber and drainage well system works.
Based on advice and my circumstances, I made the best decision.
I hope this helps. Please, come again.🙏🏾
@@AyiviTV thanks very much for the in-depth description and I’m in total agreement with you, very smart moves. Totally appreciated your response and looking forward to more of your content. Keep up the amazing work!!
