In English

It means

If we close our eyes for bad people to just pass us by, we would never know when the angels are passing

It is an adage

two(2) 1000 gallons at the top and one (1) 500 gallons at the middle. Making a total of two thousand five (2,500) gallons. It's customizable to fit your specific water needs.

The materials are:

4 by 2 H channel (for the poline)

6 by 3 plates for the guzzets

2" angle iron for the diagonals

12 by 12 by 10mm for the base plates

. . . this is some serious business going on here.

Hello Rotech. Thank you for what you have done so far. You may yet be able to bring this to a conclusion that is satisfying to the house. We appreciate what you have done.
Next, I am going to admit that I didn't know the whole story. I review previous comments to get an idea of the dispute. I saw comments from our friends here telling you that you need to do the needful. You are among the few I have spoken to on this forum and you have assisted me in the past.
To be frank with you, It's a let down to your client and some of us rooting for you to succeed and overcome the checkered past that some are always waiting to throw in your face. The fact that you get fired from the project is enough for you to have settled this with your client so that it is not a topic of discussion on this forum. There are many things you could have done if the client is not been reasonable such as bringing in people you have help to resolved their own dispute.
The fact that you are dragging this out is costing you more than #2 million. Unless I am mistaking, you should be making more than #2million profit on a project. How many people reading this back and forth and that you told the mediator you will let him know when you will pay #1 million after your head cool down will consider you reasonable and will want to give you work?
As you talk the talk try and work(walk) the work. Make it a matter of urgency to liaise with the mediator and settle with your client ASAP. This is the advice I will give to my own child. A word they said is enough for the wise that is surely wise.

For those talking greed blah blah, I’m not the money money type.

Even my iPhone 7 that I’m using to type this post was given to me by a client 2 months ago. I don’t drink, neither do I club but I work and I invest heavily in my business.

What are the cost implications of doing this type of American panel cladding over plastering/screeding and then painting? Is it cheaper? It is very common in US.

It’s not cheaper but it’s worth the extra spend. I use facade cladding on my projects as a step away from traditions; to act as second shell and to also shield the wall against elements. Facade cladding are more easier to care for and require little or no maintenance.

On the church project, I decided to use the facade cladding to cover the weather side of the building which is more often affected by rain, wind and weather.

I did same on Ilé Ode 1 to conceal imperfections during construction.

Why is dishonesty ingrained in some of our people? Reading all these makes me unease in giving out jobs to people on this forum.

MrOkenwa:
Somehow, I can understand how it feels to lose one's hard earned money in this manner. I hope you'll be able to get your refund at the end of the day.
I experienced something similar last year. My own saving grace(there was no legal binding) was that the contractor threatened me at some point. I had a chunk of my money refunded because of a very notable personality that he indicted in one of my recordings. I spent almost the equivalent of that money to pursue my case but I was satisfied that I took my money(my sweat) back.
Truth is that majority of folks in this trade are well connected, plus the fact that they're also aware of the many pitfalls in the documents they present to the unsuspecting clients as contracts. It makes it difficult to get your refunds unless it's done willingly.
There's no doubt that you've learnt your lesson. Good luck in your project sir.

how much is these

n3xt:


Greetings sir and thanks for your understanding.

I didn’t say I won’t pay. I only said I don’t have the N1m now because I do not have it with me. I’m still going to recover some funds from suppliers.

For those who knew me, I get all my materials ahead of any project. This particular project is not an exception

I’m paying back to my client the amount paid to me on most items that I’ve bought since May 2021 and not refunding funds that were diverted for selfish reasons.

>> Atrium Toughened Glass
>> Roofing Tarp
>> Roofing Sheets & Installation
>> Roof installation accessories
>> Formwork for Fins

https://www.nairaland.com/6450270/construction-journal-xl6-trillion-atrium/3#101421810

The truth is which is easier to do “To build a foundation, walls, slab, staircase, roofing framework and a fence in 2 months (Mar 15 - May 17) or to install roofing sheet in 7 months.”

If we didn’t buy materials with the funds given to us, I don’t know how else we would have achieved what we did on the project in 2 months and take more time to do a less than 48 hours roofing installation job.

________

I really wish I made N2m on the project... we won’t be here dragging issues. I’m very sure I didn’t charge up to N1m for supervision and contractors profit out of which 2.5% of the total sum wasn’t paid.

_________

I was clear on the issue of refund with the mediator that I’ll do something but I need some time to cool off because I’m working on 3 new projects that belongs to people here and I wont want to be seen as diverting their funds to pay “Gbese”

I was also clear on why I’m not doing more than the N1m and why I need to cool my head on other stuffs. Maybe the reasons weren’t clearly communicated.

To be honest, I foresee all these issues/challenges and I pleaded with my client to reconsider the recommendation to terminate the contract without properly tidying up all the lose ends. It’ll only cause more delay and heartache.
I even shared that this same issue is what I’m handling on another project and we did all we can not to fire any of the subcontractors on the project for best reasons.

_______

I’m silent for now because I know responding to every post on this matter won’t fix the issue but make things worse.

________

Thanks once again for your counsel. We’d tidy this one too up and I believe a lot of lessons has been learnt.
