I've even supplied a client that brought some from America and needed to get extra from me and they attested to the quality of mine.
The country of production may differ, but we mostly use the same material and technology.
The raw materials are mostly imported and similar in any case .

As usual, thank you for the comprehensive reply.
Would i be right in saying, a customer can request for more chemical to be added in certain areas with distinctive characteristics, i.e high salt water moisture areas, not sure it has an effect on paint or areas prone to water splashing. Almost like painting a wall eggshell, that material feels like its not going to absorb water but just run off (could be wrong here).

This broadband, is it not like a wifi broadband router or how does it work in nija ?
The day broadband becomes relatively low priced like GSM calls, then the likes of NTA will be going down. Does anyone still watch NTA these days ?

allCopacetic:


Unlimited for where ? after 60GB, your connection speed is throttled down to snail speeds. na that one be unlimited?

actually there's quite some perceptible difference in the 1080p and 1080i resolutions, but this is visible on TVs larger than 50'' , when the objects on the screen are fast moving, and also dependent on viewer's proximity to the screen.

I dont understand a word of what you're saying from the third paragraph down .lol

Thank you. I'm in discussion with an Ibadan based company.



This is very helpful. Thank you.

You also have to be careful so they don't add imaginary meters in order to increase their profit

@ allCopacetic,

In 2011, this happened... Unlimited Broadband.

1.4TB was downloaded in just 20 days. For some of us, it's unlimited or nothing.

this is I respect, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. we really need to develop and support local content.

Keep your standards up sir, and let your offerings truly match your sales pitch

Chief we're talking about Smile and you're posting speeds and comments about mainone.
It's not just about creating a plan and calling it unlimited....is it truely and by evry parameter "unlimited"

If the plan was truly unlimited, there would be nothing to upgrade to. They simply removed some "limitations" on the so called "unlimited" plan, repackaged it and added the premium tag,
Even Ntel that is currently offering great speeds in abuja and advertising its internet plans as unlimited still puts a "fair usuage" caveat.
friends who have been on the smile unlimited plan have complained of speed throttling when dey cross the 60GB threshold.

Maybe there is but I'm yet to come across any Mainone single/home user devices like other wifi service providers have.

The sand in question gets applied and then from time to time, you can apply new one and sweep it in. I would only apply if for example i used a jet/pressure spray to wash off the drive and it has swept off some of the sand.

But this is like once in years. Mind, this is an area/country that is least susceptible to flooding or standing water.

That zinc salt you talked about, which market will i find that one or do I have to go back to my chemistry secondary school . How can it be applied and whats the mix ratio, and lastly I hope its not prohibitively expensive. Will using stone dust as a base also help since vegetation shouldn't grow on pure stone dust/stone dust swept in between the spaces ?

WeldHome:


There was a place I was reading about building construction in a swampy area, very big logs of wood were played down on the ground before the foundation was set up. From the article, that seemed to be aan affordable, reasonable an archaic method of building in a swampy area back then. So what is that kind of foundation called, the type that sits on huge logs of wood in a swamp..? Thanks as I anticipate your answer.

@ Gbadexy, any side effects (ground water contamination etc).

Please share your successful findings if you can.

Hopefully it's not the advertiser on here that I won't touch its service with a ten foot pole.

Wow. Thanks.

Not to the best of my knowledge. It's used in water treatment. The calcium hypochlorite is much safer than the zinc, lead and copper salts, which are heavy metals. Part reason I didn't mention zinc again.
I didn't bother to seriously wash my hand with calcium hypo unlike the zinc sulphate.

We have a certain wood called Abura . And Iron wood . They last 4 Eva

Good to know.

For me, concrete floor using stone dust and sand or ceramic/brick driveway tiles will do. The ones put to test 40 months ago have never had any issue since installed. No weeding, no maintenance or repairs.

Good day All,

my question will be to the expert in the house. A raft foundation was made for the my building project, while the next phase is to do the filling of the foundation . But my Builder recommend we can do without the filling by just doing the DPC suspended which will leave space between the DPC and the earth below. He actually suggested this idea considering my budget, trying to save me cost for the filling and also confirmed he has done same for a construction he did in the same estate.

Despite my lean budget, am skeptical about the idea hence why a seeking advice from the professionals here too

Note that the structure is a 4 bedroom duplex

erico2k2:

Stay away from swamp . If you are planning to build in one but if you are just trying to increase knowledge fire down.
I had my fingers burnt . I'm still watching my N3 m plus foundation trying to stabilize .

allCopacetic:

Lol madam,
and you know this how? @ bolded

You cannot safely arrive at such a conclusion unless you know:

-if the connection to the D/board is single or three phase,
-The number of boards to be fed
-The distance (along the counduit path) between each board and meter/power house
- the generator set up and location. the 10mm is most likely going to be run for the gen aswell.

The question about the TV cable would be...."coils of how many meters each ?" .. 10 is obviously not practical anyways.

gbadexy:

The main thing is to not have cracks or crevices in between that weeds can sprout from.

Oga he is running wire for a duplex. Re 10mm I have run for 8 flats he do even with Nepa staff stealing some when they connected meter and for 6 flats he still remain. Generator house or no generator house and both na 3 phase.

If it'll take more than 3 years for weeds to sprout in a not-to-busy driveway, I think I already have a good solution.

3 years maintenance-free compound like Peugeot saloon cars.

Good job all the way bro. Let me go back and read your post on Dulux vs Regal.

It's still unlimited if it get the job done as at when needed without any tweak.
