How does N200K sound for 60 tons of granite delivered to Elebu?

I don't need to save the last kobo but want to make sure that it is beneficial to both parties. This will be an eyesight on load from quarry to site.

If any other non flaky and credible vendors want to partake please let me know. Thanks.

PS: Also intrigued with stone dust, I might need a quote for 70 tons of that.

Muchas gracias.

Thank God for NextHome truck in some of our projects. I can only imagine the huge loss so many clients are making. I've never bought more than 25 tons with the truck and no 30 tons delivered to me (by my supplier o) has ever matched the quantity I get.
Even the 25 tons sef, I just dey agree say Na 25 tons because I no get scale or mind to start counting Chippings one by one.

Anyhow sha, God dey!

I had a point of disagreement with someone on an issue which I am throwing to the house. I never run from an opportunity to learn.

Here goes for properties built in the Ajah axis with high water level such that you cannot dig too deep cos of high water table and all. Is it possible to never have to empty the soakaway even when this is linked to the septic tank. How is this done.

Yes. You can discuss anything (including pricing discussions) related to building constructions; no special topic.
BUT advertisements of commodities or services are NOT allowed in any form. Thank you.

For rental I will advise to go for Chinese Iron doors for internals. And get good solid Local iron doors for External.
Unless your rental property is a luxury one, then use other options like Turkey doors. Yes, I am cheap and economical.

You misquoted mua. I do not do Chinese doors all local doors for me. The story I hear about them is not encouraging either with key in hand you end up locked in or out.

Teak is local wood.

Not long ago I bought some machine made/finished mahogany wooden doors at N13k (non machine/manual made are N10k) each, and later started discovering that they are warping... nothing annoys or frustrate a door frame than warping. I would have then bought some China made iron doors for the internals... I have seen nice ones from N15k to nicest around N25k which also includes frames... at least they will not warp later.
Look around her for the advertisers and let them send you samples and their respective costs; I don't want to mention names so I don't leave anyone out.

You can always empty a soak away, when I build, I always construct a manhole at both sides, so we can evacuate the septic tank from its hole and the soak away from its own hole. 100% empty is what I recommend.
