Always better to be cast in a day, in my earlier works, I did not like the result of the two day cast.

Thank you very much.. Is there a web site for the manufacturer or retail outlet in Nigeria where one can see howit is implemented or installed and other info. I am sure other people will appreciate this too. Thank you.

May be we should move this thread to the Parapet discussion thread opened by Spyder880 too with link below:

Everyone rested today in this site, work continues tomorrow as the carpenters, plumbers and electricians all combine to add more beauty to this elegant structure. Plastering starts very soon as I plan to start bringing in more materials tomorrow.

This is the finishing stage of this building and all care is being taken to make it as smooth and polished as it deserves. Remember I named it a mansion, this is when it should be proven.
