Best thing is that if you don't trust them that much.. buy the materials as they go along..
he asks for 150 bags of cement - buy only 80 bags at first and make sure you stay there to monitor them, if it finishes buy some more.. Then buy him 5 plastering sand at first.. what is 2 stoney? Just make sure you buy some and when they are almost finished with that, with your monitoring, then you buy more.. That has worked well for me.

Oga Muyesky, what do you say to that?

Hajji Mufutau

You cldnt have said it better. Dont rush with the cement, start with 40 bags first, u'll be surprised what that will do but make sure you are there to monitor it. that shld be able to do the interiors.

Good things are happening here, I am proud of you Muyesky. Keep it going bro.

THANKS A LOT SIR

Roserbert:

Let me just buttress point already established by friends here that, 700k definitely won't be enough! With that noted, let me also say most importantly that 700k is not bad to start with. one thing I personally have come to understand about building is that, you must not have all the required fund before you start, just take the bold step, go ahead and do something with what you are having presently with you. There is this joy seeing something springing up, dream coming through, it motivates you to strive more and in no time you will be suprised what you have been able to achieve.

Shalom!

Thank you very much well noted. I have a 30x120 property at ikd and would like to start something..

I really appreciate..

Wow! Oga Spyder (our Oga at the Top) also here in this little-people's thread? That is why I love this man,
no project is too small.. you will always make your own contribution.. I hope we have more people like Spyder
in this country.. Nigeria would have been the America of Africa. I love you Spyder, keep it up.

And Yes, muyesky is raising his tempo with this his project too.. taking time to explain things as needed.
Another Spyder in the making.

Thanks all.

Just keep doing it little at a time.. That is the advantage of Nigeria, you go at your own pace when the finance allows it.. Here overseas, no such thing, unless you get a loan to buy the house or you save up your money and buy the house cash-down; but that does not happen all the time.. unless you are very rich.

.......more pix as from tomorrow

One quick questions to all...

Is it necessary to install kitchen cabinets before the floor and wall tilings, and of course after plastering?
Or the cabinets can be installed after all the tiles for floor and walls are done?

its much much neater to install them after tiles for floor and walls are done.

Muyesky:

Good answer brother.. that's what I thought.. Especially when it's not a concrete, but wooden cabinets.
Let's see if others have more pro and con.
Thank you.
