Gbadexy,

We have always stated clearly (where a poster wants to know..... and you can see many examples of that, if you have read a few of our posts) who was posting.
Its no biggy, they know but just like to be mischievous.
Ask yourself: How come it is NOW (when we have issues over Brabus), that they suddenly remembered l am female, when some of the post date as far back as 2009?

Anyway, its behind me sha.


I have been enjoying your posts on manufacturing/mixing/producing paints and allied products.
I want to be an expert like you, when ll grow up.

Thanks for the welcome back.

I'm humbled by the compliment.
Thank you sir.

Welcome back Sir Lastpage!

While you are away...

I like your posts and just like you, I love learning.. It's inspiring coming on here to see people doing things. Hope you have room for apprenticeship?

I am BACK! Lastpage is back!!

I have been away from this section and Nairaland postings in general, since 16th of July! Seems like yesterday tho'.
My wifey (yes, Lastpage Madam) insisted l should 'chill-out' as according to her, l am beginning to take faceless people seriously.

Well, if there are two people whose counsel l take seriously, it's my Mother (of blessed memory) and my wife!
The Power of "Good Women" in our life!

I was against her rebuttal, posted earlier but she insisted that "for the good of those who have come to respect and admire that @username" (even anonymously) l should allow her to make the rebuttal.
I concurred though l argued that she should not delete the thread as l feel it has and still doing some good to others.
Moreover, she did nothing wrong!. when you get the consent of someone to 'post on their behalf, in order to help them', you act in their capacity.


So, my Two weeks 'self-imposed moratorium' has elapsed. Madam wanted one month but l pleaded to 'allow me naah', as part of my relaxation!

While l was away, l noticed the RATS were having a field-day!
One even said l 'ran-away'!
'Clowns' even said I am Brabus or my Madam is Brabus'w wife! (Brabus, if l see your face near my tent, you go hear am! )
Despite tens of posts on various sections of Nairaland where she has openly stated she is a woman, Lastpage's wife (in particular posts) and l have stated l am her husband (in my posts, on request where clarification was sought, as she is not a fan of the property section) some of these scallywags have said l am a woman!
One has to be very unintelligent, not to be able to say whether a poster is Male/Female, after reading about five of their post.
We would continue to use that single username, as we have always done.
We wont be like that one who was scouring for a Nigerian wife on Nairaland, on his visits to Nigeria, using a username his wife-to-be does not know, while at the same moment, the wife was arraigning a "spousal reunification" for him at the home office.
That is how terrible some of these people are.
Cheesux, wetin we nor go hear!

While away, I also noticed those who felt this was a "got-ya" moment and seized on it to yarn rubbish too.

I also noticed that Brabus has been posting new things (He did not even bother to ask after me while l was away!
Na so life be? Et tu Brutus/Brabus? ). That is the Brabus we all yearn to see.

I also noticed that some peeps have gone to delete posts where they said they have HIV! Oh-Well, we already know and the post was already quoted!
I also noticed that we have a new "Class Monitor" here. All Good, more grease to your elbow

I also noticed that, finally, we all agree to what l have been saying: Those who want to bash Builders should take it to threads specially created for that purpose....... or take the matter to EFCC who are qualified and empowered by LAW, to prosecute any allegation of Fraud.
This is why some Goats have made an enemy out of me! Simply because l refused to join them in bashing Brabus, from now till eternity.
Ofcourse, l did bash him initially and even assisted in ensuring he was refunding the cry-cry baby but after a while, l felt it was derailing a good thread.
Anyway, all good.

I also noticed that l have come to know the 'real person' behind one of the different Monikers.
You know, l did a little phone call to a friend who lives in the South/South and he in-turn did a little phone-call to the Land Registry in that side. He used the 4 coordinates of a survey plan/Approval submitted by the rat and voila!
All documentation/Approval application, e.t.c and bio-data of the person was made available.

So, if you still think you are anonymous, YOU are not! When you come into the country by year end, l would be 'informed' at the point of entry as you scan your Palli (Thats a service reserved for VIP's that you are getting, so that Escort can get ready to do their work) and MAY decide to even provide you with "security", free of charge, all the way to your house by NTA Rd, as my very good friend from N/Land.
One good turn they say, deserves another.
Its a small world and we need to be very careful about what we say/do online, under the guise of anonymity.

Having said that, l am bound to honor the new trend here and keep this thread to strictly anything CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING.

Brabus, l admire that iron contraption you are doing, l hope you get experts in material testing to confirm the strength of that material to withstand the intended load?
Remember, "those who are about to be roasted, ..... dont bath with petrol".

I wont revert to this particular post again, (except l am compelled to).

"Lies, if repeated so often,... and left unchallenged, may assume an air of truth".

If you've been frequenting only the politics section on here, then i must confess that your madam was right...

@Brabus:
is there no way the Frame below (from your pix) can be achieved without cutting and re-welding the iron?
I have Pressure./Press moulding in mind. So as to still maintain uniform structural strength.

Also, what is the thickness of the H-frame used?

I am sure other builders are learning new things from you.

Yea, l do a lot of posting in that section but not exclusively.

That is where l get my "kick" from, the most!

What you have asked is achievable with manually operated roll benders (with two-fixed and one moveable roller) and I think that frame is more of U-channel than H. I'm hoping to fabricate my own roll-benders in the nearest future when my pocket is tight..

I knew I had to allow you take much needed break off the forum.

Also, the junk food ran out of stock! Nothing more to feed the trolls.

I'm sure you'll be more disappointed to see me do otherwise or playing the overgrown baby game.
I hope you do understand the reason for my actions.

Omo, that's the last place for a Nairaland business owner to be (especially if such person does business on here). S/he will definitely be provoked into saying things s/he was not meant to.

WeldHome, I'm not a Pro in this field! I'm just a go-getter like one of my friend here.

Impossible is not in my record.

I used "U" channel for the bending because I might end up using curved glass (toughened) for the balustrade. For now, it's glass or nothing else according to the client.
It'll be easy to fix the glass to the frames you know.

Keep up the good job and let's keep exchanging ideas here and everywhere else

It's great fun you know.

Honestly, l think you should be even more choosy in responding to baits.
I have seen one in the previous page and l was like, "if na me, l will just allow this comment to pass" because l new the person was trying to bait you.
But credit to you, despite your past mistakes, you have an "open heart" to everyone and answer them as such.

I pray God will give you wisdom as you progress further.


BTW: I was referring to what @WeldHome described: Rollers, though l think it will require more than "manual" pressure to roll the ones you are using.

Is the channel meant to be visible after the job is done or you'll cover it with something? Also, will there be a concrete deck within that area you're fabricating the U-channel?

I know I'm in for another Big one cos you knew how to push me to extreme. I only have pressure machine for bending tubes on site

The shape could be achieved with an electronically programmed Tube Bender for a more perfect shape and to maintain its solid form.

The U Channel used is 3mm guage.

We will get there on day.

You are very correct sir .
Your comments may even be misconstrued.
I've been shown nothing but love from nairaladers from both divide.
It's best to just read comments or stay neutral except the government aren't making it easy to maintain neutrality in government.
I literally laugh my butt of reading comments from both divides of all classification and have learnt not to take anything personal there.

WeldHome:

That's why I used U channel and not H because I don't want the channel to be visible and also want a well finished flat face.

Sure, there'll be a deck. Composite metal deck. You know about it.

Sounds pretty interesting. I'm really interested in this your work, not as a customer but a student tho...

Kindly keep us updated on the work. Thanks and God bless..

@ WeldHome, this might be the final look of the work when completed. At least that's what the Oga OK'd for now.

Already in talks with a glass bending company in Amuwo Odofin.

Again, I'm not a lecturer. I'm equally a student with a strong will and determination.

I read a lot. For the glass structure im doing, here's something I'm reading at the moment. It has all the interesting details, plans, material list and elements needed so it make the work easier.

Anybody heard or used PURECHEM Cable/Wire? Just asking o.

Hajji M.

Purechem cable is also good, though ihave not use it. One of their marketer met me on one site. And gave me the catalogue. Since the cables is manufactured in Nigeria, it will be better than imported. Nigerchin cable has one quality that I appreciate most. Their insulation is perfect. Doesn't peel anyhow when pulling the cables

No Sir, l am not pushing you at all.... just learning.

Seriously, your idea made me think about a build l did and l wanted the Cantilever to be like 15ft (the average is around 3/4ft l think) and was told l would need a Column under it..... but l dont want a column/Pillar under it because the below is meant for children to play and l dont want then running into a pillar.

Now, if you had come-up with this yoru crazy idea, maybe l would have borrowed it and told my workers "It can be done, see pinshure here.."

Every Dog has its own day sha.

I am following this build sharp-sharp

The advantage l see in you even though you did not start-out as a Builder, is your penchant for new ideas, coupled with your educational pedigree!

But l will advice you, try-out these ideas elsewhere first, you know as much as l do that you cant afford to use a customer's job to try-out new ideas...... what if it does not work as expected nko?
I do understand that you are not trying to re-invent the wheel here but at times, your "audaciousness" scares me!


Even at that, It is often said that "only the daring can do great things".
It may not be a bad idea, to allow another, educated professional(s) to take a look at it as you go along and ask them to "critique" what you are doing..... so you can take advantage of what they might see, that YOU might not see.
