@ lastpage, should we make this a competition as suggested by allCopacetic? I know it'll be fun.

However, I suggest that the competition should be open to everyone who meets the requirement of the organizer. And all submissions which must be original idea of each participant (either a group or an individual) should be submitted in pictures and videos with short narration of how it works.

Its what looking at! l like competitions for brilliant ideas.......... but we need to do more "paper-work" to Make it FAIR TO ALL and worth the effort.

e.g:
*How do you prevent copy-copy? .... if original ideas are to be displayed here?
*Proper and clear definition of what amounts to a "winner" needs to be specified?
*Prize needs to be stated... and of enough motivational value
*Impartial Panel of adjudicators need to be set-up and method of evaluation clearly spelt out
*Factor-in the naysayers who will do everything to cause disarray


But like l said, "Nothing is impossible".
I am game. undecided

This emergency window exit is something that we've been discussing since last year and I think Muyesky said he does offer something for his clients but don't quote me.

Earlier this year when I was home I met with my local welder that did my fence and showed him some diagrams I made. Before I left the country hr cobbled some stuff together but it was rudimentary. After I left the country work stopped. No biggie since shyte hit the fan shortly thereafter, economy wise.

If and when I tidy up the design it will be shared on here freely and also on the web. I take this matter seriously and is not something I can morally go into with economics in mind, safety first.

So here's a rough sketch I did, the one I did on SketchUp will be shared when I get back to the home office.

If someone can take this and make it better and have it available sooner the better, put me down for one.

It's a frame in a frame design meaning that it doesn't need the window wall once it's installed.

Section A is a panel that is open to receive any design of metal that fits the house.

Section B is the business part. And like the pedal section it can be installed left or right based on the layout of the room. The best I could come up with is an American gate latch system that is protected from tampering. I would like to do a regular miniature door lock. This is the only thing that I am working on, the rest is a done deal. Panel is totally enclosed.

The pedal is inserted into the brick wall alongst with the cable or rod system much like we install plumbing pipes.

The pedal is of course inset into the wall and out of the way but can easily be felt and pressed by foot and the window released and flung open.

I am even toying with a slight spring load on the swinging part so that during an emergency it will open with a crack so you can feel it in a smoky situation.

Thanks.

PS: my submission of this idea is NOT to be regarded as a submission towards the coy ploy set forth by the fraudulent builder but just to show that previous and ongoing efforts are underway towards the same goal, and without a ridiculous fanfare. I would hate for someone to hop up and down and scream that I stole their idea/s. Thank you.

"And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

1. Contestants (carefully selected builders, designers, DIYers, and other participants) must submit their idea to the organizer before the actual date for the submission of final entry. So, this means you can only submit the same idea you pitch in your entry and not a new one.

2. I suggest N150,000 as total price money to be given to the winner and the runner-ups which should be shared in ratio 5:3:2
Other incentives includes award of recognition, a weekend in Paris grin and other things that adds value.
This will be sourced from voluntary sponsors of the competition.

3. Submissions should be judged by the following criteria: compliance with requirements, creativity and innovation, contemporary relevance, aesthetic merit, constructability and suitability of design for intended use, ease of use, safety and the affordability.
Winners should be selected based on merit and not bias.

4. Panel of judges should be setup as follows:

- 3 active members of the forum (impartial and analytical) should be selected based on nomination by forum users.

- 2 professional design consultant outside Nairaland should be invited as the Jury. One abroad, one at home in Naija.

- 1 respected elder on the forum to act as the moderator.

5. Date for the submission of ideas should be announced and voting should be pushed to the NL frontpage for a non-bias selection of winners. Winners should be announced latest 12 hours after voting.

6. All ideas and creations that failed to meet the design requirement should be automatically disqualified and the reason for disqualification should be announced by the moderator.

7. All contestant should post their submissions in jpeg format and share the video link on YouTube channel which should be created specially for the contest.


Oga put more!!! I don try.

Please take out the Dollar as Dollar is not our country legal money...
It is illegal to advertise anything in dollar and not in Naira in Naija, its just that Central Bank are too lazy to enforce it.
Personally I never do business with any company or person that advertise in any foreign currency.

Speaking about the DEVIL !!

Bosun Davies Shoyoye obviously had his plan in mind, this was the same person who started the idea of the fake building plan, and I was always suspicious hence why I said it was going to be on him, and when I discovered it was fake, this is the reason why he is refunding me back my money (Over 400k) on a weekly basis, paying 10k every week.

Here are the facts, so is it your twin that typed the below or Shoyoye Senior or Junior ?




When I was suspicious, this guys would not let me rest.



See it here again, the irony is that he would send the approval people to come to disturb on site, so as to get me to sign up for the fake approval despite him assuring me that its genuine (its not worth the paper its written on), as soon as he collected the money for the fake approval, everything just seemed to stop !





When you are 5,000 miles away from site, what can you do ? You would think that you can trust your Quack Engineer right ? grin
Some of us in Diaspora have suffered in the hands of Engineer oo

The only thing fake here is the person who presented a drawing of 4 flat to government as 7 flats.

Did I mention anything about the fake building plan or the reduction in the flats before ? [size=18pt]NO[/size]
Did you lie that it was my idea ? [size=18pt]YES[/size]

When are you going to realise that people in glass houses should not be throwing stones ?
I will need you to quote yourself and correct the false statement you made, I like to be straightforward in my dealings, call white, white and call black, BLACK.

So the ball is in your court now.

Excuses for everything, just what i expected.
What are we saying, and what are you talking about. You have failed to answer my questions, who typed the messages about the need to reduce the number of dwellings. Like i said to you, you have been cursed and will continue to remain so, hence why you have not made progress in your life so far. You spend your whole day here on NL talking nonsense where your peers are building houses and making a living, you are busy doing fake building plans ! Anyway, next installment in 5 weeks !!


n3xt:



Anyway, here's answer to your question above.

You wanted black and white.


1. You were never clear about anything. This explains why I have almost 4 different drawings for one single building all within 3 months.

a. 6 flats on 3 floors with ground floor as parking space

b. 6 flats on 2 floors

c. 4 flats

d. 7 flats on 3 floors.

WTF, what has this got to do with the issue being discussed , answer my questions I asked you before, was it Shoyoye Senior or Junior who provided me with fake building plan or collected money for it ?



You never mentioned to me you wanted fake until the cost of doing 6 flats was mentioned to you and you wanted to reduce cost by all means. The same way you never mentioned building 7 flats to me until after the foundation work and we are nearly completing the ground floor.
This cancels your initial claim that you were never carried along in the whole transaction. That you just saw calculation and no papers. Even the screenshot you posted shows there were initial discussions.

I told you it must be original, the screenshot for that is coming up shortly. I will dig this up again. If its orignal, why are you refunding me back my money ?


The speed at which the 4 flats drawing was done by your architect tells a lot of about your interest. But who am I to say anything to you when you're not my baby.


2. The same way you never mentioned to me that you were building on government acquisition area until there's trouble with your consent application and making me to feel like you had one. Did I made that up too?

Consent is ready for approval, consent fee paid. Who built in a government acquired area ? maybe you are confusing this with the Chateau in the bush with no address.


Sorry about the false statements, it is what you made me to understand that I was actually putting out there.


We stopped playing the ball since last year bro.

Have you changed your life around since last year, sadly NOT. Still thesame old, and it will only get WORSE for you.


_______

For the records, I didn't do your fake plan presented and submitted to the government. You and Your Architect did. #Fact

Biggest joke, who handed over fake building plan approval to me, who collected the money without any receipt, who solicited for it ? Why are you refunding me back, if its not fake. You ought to have shown it ?

Nice one, so you dug up an email.

The Survey that was done before was not correct and i must have misunderstood the process, so Surveyor Folarin did another one so as to progress the consent application. See below
So to show your low brain IQ. how would I process my consent below if my survey plan is faulty ? Do you think Lagos state government are like BOSUN SHOYOYE DAVIES ? Look at the date on the email, look at the date on the consent letter.

I dont think i should be taking you seriously sha.
