Just paid for some rolls of Cutix electrical wires (made in Nnewi, Nigeria) to be used in this house. Another quality product I trust in the market is Comet Star wires.

Looks like some major shopping is going on...that means action time. I hope we get to see live streaming as these things are installed. I trust Spyderman?

On the Tokumbo kitchen sink, what explains the difference and is it a popular choice for builders? Are the new ones durable?

Trust me to show all the details about how we finish this house, enough pictures coming up.

The tokunbo kitchen sink is very popular in the market, virtually every shop sells them. They are stronger because they are heavier, can sustain more weight of plates and other kitchen stuff. The new ones are shinier, made with lighter materials and may bend under pressure or load. But if it will be well supported from the floor, like a metal or wooden cabinet to bear the weight. It is very durable. So many people hang their sink on marble tops or plywood cabinets. It is very durable thus.

@spyder the wire cable to be specific. How do you measure the diameter of cable, the lent in the roll. Do you measure by wight, so one will not short cut on what you paid for.

Let's take the 1.5mm Nigerian made Cutix wires for instance, we buy them for N 4200 in Enugu here while the comet star of same 1.5mm sells for N3,450.

The unit of measure for cables and wires is a roll, pictured above. Each roll is supposed to be a length of 100 feet, except someone is playing ojoro somehow grin

The weight is dependent on the manufacturer, Nigerian made wires are thicker at the copper wires within the plastic insulating cover and thus heavier than Chinese imports.

Forget about crash testing, that is why we have a lot of "Human Crash Dummies" on our road.. But I think people like Inosson Group are trying.
