I have seen the good works and really, Gbadesky knows his stuff when it comes to painting. I will like to use the German floor design soon. For the interlocking stones, its just the relative beauty of the individual stones that is the major attraction. Not only do you have variety in shapes and sizes with colours, but when combined, they create a visual attraction, and it could be arranged to produce a pattern in form of lines, letters or shapes. But I know they also have disadvantages.

One of the major disadvantages is the one you mentioned, change in colours, this might happen because of a number of reasons, especially the way they were made and the use. Another disadvantage is the possibility of weed growing in between the stones, but recent technology is also tackling this, I will show more pictures when we start laying these stones in this site.

Yes. The ones that looked like regular solid blocks.

Thanks guys for the education. The size to be covered is the size of a full plot in some cities. I look forward to seein the pictures and work progress when the actual laying starts.

But interlocking stones could be painted, too using paint quality like mufutau55, right?

And when you said 'recent technology is also tackling this,', do you mean black plastic spread out on the ground you used sometime ago for a client?.

@mufutau55, your house looks pretty neat . You don shop money from M. Bloomberg finish.

Thank you my brother. No money to chop oh! If they even pay me enough like their Politician friends.. all my house would have been finished by now. But the hard labor with our sweat still pays.

The floor in the picture you posted was painted with epoxy floor paint.
its very tough and much more durable. its a two component paint system that is mixed at the point of application.
its more expensive too because the paint uses no solvent unlike floor paint that has up to 40% volatile solvent and the epoxy is. costlier than other types. It's like a laminated plastic and can withstand high impact like forklift with load.

Got you brother... God will provide me some money to start ordering Epoxy from you.
But for now, I love what I got from you for the poorman's taste.
Thank you for supplying the good paint product.

Yes ooo, you go hammer very soon and buy the latest Hummer

What we are doing here today is laying waste pipes round the building. This will channel waste off the building to the soakaway systems.

Our fence wires are now mounted.

Almost done round the whole fence.

Getting closer to the wires. .....

Exactly

My boys were comparing colours and I just stood and observed their gist. We are going to sample more colours for the rooms later today.

Let's move to the next item on the agenda, the overhead tank stand. We are building the base today.

Meanwhile, we are fitting more toilet seats and wash hand basins in all toilets and bathrooms.

The Ariston water heaters. ......

.......

We are hanging them all now.

If I remembered very well sirs; in the recent lectures for this month our teacher promised to educate and inform us on the pricing/measuring/deciding/getting/determining and other "...ings" for the barbed wires.
I have been patiently waiting for same and still waiting.
thank you

Pls Oga spider, was the seat of the Wc mounted first before tiling the floor? Also, how much is the cost of the Wc. Thanks

The seat was mounted after the tiling, with silicon gum. That is the way its done now. That WC complete unit is being sold for around N16,500.

Still on color selection, are these all going to be used in this house? What type of paints are these? In the past I only knew of emulsion and texcote but lessons from Hajji M, Gbadexy and Trumpcoat have taught me otherwise!

Sure, Gbadesky is very good with paints. These are locally manufactured paints which we want to be made of high quality materials. Some will emulsion while others will be texcote. I will show more about this later as I am still waiting for the painter now.

We have done some concrete blinding for the stands of the overhead tanks.

We made this stand with metal plate.......

Still buying additional plumbing materials as the ones we bought before was not enough.

Some more colour samples. .....
