Not sure you have done something wrong, but we have seen several 3Ds I think it will be better if have something spectacular about your design that we can learn something new from , for Instance u have done your design in such away that it could be cheaper to build and save a lot of cost, energy efficiency, roof design and materials that is new in the industry that could be cost efficient with great aesthetic. Then it will be great idea to post such here. Thanks

But some are not clear
Like the Blinding & Filling.
I doubt if 5 trips will fill the house....but how many tons is what i don't know though.

I would advise u to use stonebase in place of gravel, if u can't afford granite.
This is a duplex, not a bungalow. The quality of coarse aggregates shouldn't be compromised.

Welcome bro.
Thanks.

Guys,

I need some advise; I have property where there has recently been an electricity surge and the pumping machine for the borehole was damaged. Hence I have been told that we need to re-cool it. I have been given the following quote:

Recoiling of the machine
18,000
Control box 6,000
Cable 18,000
Labour 10,000
Total. 52,000.

Also I was told I needed to install a timer switch next for the borehole so that we would have another incident where the borehole was left on and a power surge cause damage.

Borehole Timer costed at 25,000

Then, we have to earthen the property as it was reported that the taps seems to have some current in them.

1. Industrial salt he said he needed 2 pack which is 10,000. Should we manage 1 which is 5,000. As required the two is 10,000
2. Two earth rod 20,000.
3. 1/2 coil of 16mm coper wire 25,000
4. Bore hole complete timer. 25,000
5. Workmanship 20,000
Total = 100,000

Is this quote reasonable


THANKS BE TO ALMIGHTY GOD,WE ALSO APPRECIATED YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
THIS GENTLEMAN LATER CONTACTED US AFTER HE CHECKED OUR THREAD AND HE GAVE US THE JOB.
BOTH THE ELECTRICAL AND PUMP PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED NOW

Yes. You have done many things wrong. I am the OP of this thread and I said "NO Advertisement" whatsoever is accepted here.
You have bombarded this thread with many 3Ds and advertisements, and so you have done in other peoples thread.
If we have an active Moderator on this forum, you won't be getting away with all your bombarded postings.
Please do not advertise in this thread anymore, and I advise you to go and open your own thread, just like many people have told you in the previous messages I have read. Thank you.

I can speak for myself that I won't hire someone that can't follow these basic rules and regulations. How they act online is how they'll act on my site or when conducting commerce.

Are you tired of all the political discussions and bombarded advertisements in this thread?

If so, please hit (Report) on each post and put #1 for such posts to be reported to the Moderator.
May be if the Moderator get enough Reports, he will wake up and do something about it.
Thank you.

I think we should all take it easy with the rules, around here.
This thread would be nothing, if not for all the people who post here, including their diverse opinion, hence we should be a bit circumspect in this "reportage" because as we all know, everyone can report every post they dont wanna see and let me also add that our taste can differ beyond anyone's imagination!

Having said that, my personal opinion is that we should not castigate the poster or report it but "advice him to LIMIT the number of post that advertise his trade ...while placing a link to another thread that he should have opened to showcase his full jobs".

You never can say, where or from whom a brilliant idea will come from.
The above is my personal opinion and l dont want it to become a back-and-forth issue between any member.

@kopell,daboomb, thanks for the kind words about the job carried out for the gentleman by rotech

Double post...

If people are told to stop Political discussions and they still keep on... then reporting those posts is the last option. We are not reporting the poster but the post, if the Moderator is doing his/her job, then those posts get deleted; the poster is not banned or punished in anyway.. Simple.

If a thread says no advertisement, then there is no advertisement... If a seller or service provider or contractors come here to contribute to the discussion, fine but no coming here to dump advertisements. I made that clear when I opened this thread... we don't want garbage to contribute to the existence of this thread.

However, your personal opinion is well respected.

You think everyone who showcases what they do or have done, gets paid for it on this thread (the classic definition of advertisement)?
It appears funny to me that when we need help, we reach out to these people and they volunteer their knowledge, business/trade secrets and other things which ordinarily would have cost money, and we gleefully accept it (and call it knowledge sharing! ).

But when it comes to the "grace" of them showcasing the same thing that we benefited from, we call it advertisement and we dont want to see it.
In the real sense of it, there has always been advertisement on this thread, from day one because when someone answers a question and showcases "knowledge", we patronise the person!

Someone has a question recently (water-pump electrical problem) and @Rotech gratefully came to the rescue by showcasing his knowledge of the issue and "got patronised" by the person who has the problem.
That is a mutually benefiting situation.

In case you dont get my point clearly, let me use an example to illustrate:
This poster in question is showcasing Architectural drawings he did and has added his numbers for those who think his work is wohthwhile and might want to engage him.

The same "architect" or Engineer is whom we ask all sort of building/construction questions from, on this same thread (Skimanski, Aventures, Podoski, Spyder, e.t.c) and we receive answers from them!

What if they told us: If you need an answer, then come over to my thread, how would we feel?
Recall that we have all been slamming them for not wanting to do anything for free or help a brother or they charge too high.

I dont sell anything and l dont have anything to advertise but l think that we are getting too selfish and greedy!
The relationship should be mutual as long as it is not OVERDONE (like that guy Batlam that sells Roofing materials spams every thread with multiple adverts)

We must remember that no one places his product in a corner, if he wants to sell it. You will naturally place where you know the "traffic" will see it.If a 'new person' places his job on this thread, to introduce what he does and then puts a link to another thread he has created specially for such products (the real advert thread), l think we will all be the better for it.
It is also important that we "assist the younger, upcoming ones" who are just getting into the act. the likes of Aventures, Skimanski, Spyder, e.t,c are established names (due to their good and standard work) but they were once like this person.
We should be careful not to "appear as" bullying the younger, upcoming ones

Nobody paid @Seun to post on this thread or copy things from here, ask beneficial questions or benefit from this thread.

It is the "experts" mostly that gave free advice and info, (and the not so expert who later became expert, after learning from the experts and practising it on their own build) that made this thread what it is, not who created it or because there is no advert in it.
We should never forget that. It is a community.

What we should preach is MODERATION and not just think about our own interest, all the time.

I dont want the thread to be spammed but l also dont want us acting like we own the thread and all we want to see is what we can gain from it.
Life is GIVE and TAKE.

If l have benefited from Spyders knowledge or Abdulwastecx knowledge and he wants to introduce something he can make money from while l benefit from it, to me, on the same thread where l gained from him, what the heck should l be complaining about, as long as he does not repeatedly spam the thread?

This is my final position on the matter.
Anyway, I will Negodu in my small corner because l have nothing to advertise and therefore would not push the matter beyond this.

In my opinion, Just dont spam the thread with adverts.
I know it could be difficult at times, to draw attention to what you have to showcase if left and dumped under a pile of threads that people probably dont even bother to open

But just one good picture of your drawings and a LINK to your thread where you have all your adverts/work done, should do the trick.
Dont post multiple advert here on this thread, it can damage the eyes.

Welldone on those drawings. Tone down the primary colours, use mostly secondary colours, especially for Residential dwellings, take a cue from experienced Archys in the house

*And dont get sarcastic as well, l can smell that from one mile.
*Take your time to write well when you post, it gives a bad impression to potential customers when they cant really "coordinate" what you are trying to get across.

The same tactics always.....u post then ask if it's okay....like I told u the other time when u advertised on someone else's thread, it doesn't speak well of u. It's now evident u are very lazy and untrustworthy as I earlier thought (which I told u).

I doubt if anybody here will ever patronize u..I will reserve my comments on d kind 3D..

I am not going to start a prolonged argument with you on this because that is not my way...
All the guys you mentioned above, how many of them have seen dumping their advertisements here?
Why not try to follow the same OP from thread to thread and see what he has been doing there.
I am only participating 99.99% in Properties Forum and I do follow many threads...
Please follow his thread and let me know what you find out, he has been warned on other threads too.
If you were when this thread was started... that is one of the main reason why we opened this thread with free advertisements.

Hajji M.

I should not have responded but...

1.) I was here before this thread or you came on Nairaland, but that is neither here nor there Sir.
2.) Those people you mentioned, were once at this stage, a long, long time ago when they were "no-names" but thank God, they are household names today.
3.) My message was specifically about the post he made on this thread (where you said No advert), l do not carry-over whatever he has done on other threads but if he has been spamming threads as you allege then that is very annoying and wrong.
4.) I have also advised him on the best way to go about it next time, seeing that he appears not to intentionally want to spam this thread.
5.) As for having 'prolonged argument', l think that was a deliberate misnomer on your part.
