Welcome back sir..
Im sure you will get a bit of tan staying in the sun for some weeks..
It's not also easy to manage a group of people. Dialogue has proven more useful to me than brute stamping of authority.

External. I'm using 6" solid for all ground floor. There was no allowance for a U structurally due to the size of the building plus I wont crack no wall and corresponding ground space.but 8 trying to be adventures.

Welcome home sir.

If the Rice granite (3/8 ) is not much, u can order for 1/2 inch and mix but if it's...i guess u can still use it but more materials will be used.




By the way sir, where is my Arsenal Jersey?

First thing that I'm going to do in March is to stop any ongoing work and do a major clean up and organization of materials. It's gone to shyte since I left angry

Will also level the lot as best as possible (wish I could get me some of that Lagos white sand shocked ) and then german floor and raise to lintel level.

But if exchange rate holds up until then I might even slap the roof on.

N274 to $1 grin
