Blue Mountain1: Learning - Put - In - Action:

Discharging Second Batch load of 25 tonnes.
Actually, after this second truck has been fully loaded and reweighed, it returned 19.77 Tonnes.
So here, for an uninformed client, he will feel that a 'FULL' load was supplied to him after having paid for 25 tonnes, while in actual fact, these trucks do not contain the 25 tonnes they often claim to carry.

azora: Thanks Blue Mountain for educating us in this thread. One thing I personally observed was the price of size 4 granite which is N4,515:00 per tons, I want to believe the price is just too expensive. At my end over hear, as at yesterday I bought. That perticular size for N2,600 per ton. Please where is the quarry in your picture located.

So, will the entire class join me in saying thank you to Oga Spyder for helping us know the difference in the sizes of these trucks and the capacity of what they can truly carry.

Summary:

1. Intention to use the granite.
2. Approach a granite crushing company.
3. Make sure you are not stopped at the gate. Claim you have an appointment with the Site manager.
4. This will give you the advantage of seeing first hand the price list of the various product sizes.
5. Get their bank account details and make your payment in accord with the desired quantity.
6. Not to worry. These companies do have dedicated individual accounts for clients, such that if you are not able to carry all your products at once, you can always come for it at any other time. You can even use the balance (cash value) to buy any other size in the future.
7. You can see that i did pay for 50 tonnes of number 4 @ N 4515:00 but was only able to carry a sum total of 43.63 tonnes.
8. The cash value balance will be used to purchase Number 5 size @ N 4,300:00 per tonne in the future.
9. Negotiate / make arraignment for a truck that will carry your product.
10. At the gate , register and collect the truck's gate pass.
11. Approach the weighing bridge to ascertain the weight of your truck without the loaded products. Not the format of the weighing scale.
12. It is calibrated in Kg;
13. 1,000 kg = 1 Metric tonne.
14. Proceed to have your truck loaded and pay N 200:00 to the pay loader guy and hand in to him the gate pass as his record of what he loaded for the day.
15. The loaded truck goes back to be reweighed.
16. If you are satisfied, then the leveler will go up for a fee of N 200:00 to tidy the load so that it does not fall off the truck. the will also put a tarpaulin over it.
17. Next is to settle Local Government, Union, and other statutory fee of N 5,100:00. All are receipted.
18. If your face is the approachable type, there are other 'settlings' that may come your way.
19. Happy buying.

Its recent, I actually stopped working there since early August. Was very painful leaving childhood friends and colleagues after 21 years of continuous service. My boss refused to accept my earlier resignation letter, he said I can have another leave for a month and if I still want to work in the company, I can continue. He tore the first resignation letter. I wrote and submitted another letter on the 5th of September and it was finally accepted with an official company letter dated the 25th of September 2013.

We have to take our destinies in our hands at some point in our lives. The Lord is good.

gabbytabby:

While it can be scary to take your destiny in your hands great men are made from those who dared to do this. May the lord continue to bless the work of your hands. You shall never regret it. IJN.

I have been toying with a similar situation for the last 2 years and know its not easy.

Fhemmmy:

You are so right, it is one of the toughest decision for a man to make, leaving the known and certain for the not to sure and uncertain, but like you said, you cant be a great man by not pursuing your destiny, however, not for everyone.

I think when I am 39 years old, I will do the same and take the risk. Inspired by Oga Spyder.

Ha ha ha . . . You are just too much oh, i have been struggling with same decision now for almost 10 years

NL1960:

@spyder880. I want to assume here that the fence this mansion is getting will be on all the four sides of the plot. I want to fence only two sides of my project (just lenght and width) and not all four sides. Just a few questions:

(1) What is the size of this plot (apologies if you have already mentioned this).

(2) What is the total estimated cost for the fencing. I want to use the figure to extrapolate the two sides i want to fence

(3) was it 6 inches or 9 inches hollow block that you are using

(4) I intend to mould the blocks. What is the idea number of blocks that should come out of a bag of cement for fence.

NL1960:

@Spyder, please, this my question is still awaiting your response.

spyder880:

Plot is 30m sq on all sides (100x100)
Block type is 6" hollow
Budget is not specified, we are still calculating costs.
Target 40 blocks from 1 bag for 6" hollow for fence.

Happy weekend.

VIPICO: Sorry guys, I have been away from class for way too long. I had a tough time trying to play catch-up. Like Fhemmy said, our good teacher should please try and find time to do us financial update on this mansion.
That cool temper of yours, Spyder, please how can I get a chunk of it? You are indeed a great person.
I will call you soon.

spyder880:

lolllll

Calm down bro

I think I know where you got confused. Just this week, I lifted a recent picture of this mansion and placed on my old thread about the business and profitability of rental business. I did it because this mansion describes the post I was making about duplexes on that particular thread. So I added this new picture to the old post by using the modify button on this forum.

The first thread you referred to was created by me in 2011, this house was started sometimes in July this year and now completed, no confusion there. I dont do shady things, never ever!


But it would have been better if you had asked me how come the picture is there before you start talking fraud?

ITS NOT ALL NIGERIANS THAT ENGAGE IN FRAUD. LET US CHANGE THE COUNTRY BY DOING GOOD, AND WORKING HARD.

PROUDLY NIGERIAN
Thank you.

spyder880: Sure Qc_1, Brabus understands the Lagos area more and can handle the job very well. Please call him.

VIPICO: Last post December 7. I hope this thread stays alive to a logical conclusion. I'm still waiting for the numbers though.

VIPICO: Ok. It's the man's dough. He has the right to ban and unban (Lol). But I hope he has not also banned the numbers that we have been waiting anxiously for.
