Wow! Nice write-up. I have learnt few things from that also... I believe that is why we are. Your contribution is always welcomed.

But @Lastpage, there is something called Private email if you think you did not agree with any decision taken here, you can surely appeal it by Email either to any of the Moderators here or even the Super-Moderators, instead of coming here to stir up something.. I have nothing personal against you or anyone on this forum. And in future, we don't have "Cronies" or "Gangs" here. I have been banned in this forum too. Many people have also been banned in this forum... So please let us keep the discussion to the normal topics. Thank you.

Hajji M.

Hajj M, the matter is closed and consigned to history.
But l dont understand why you have to add the last paragraph in your post? Dont stir up the matter again please

It is said that "Do unto others, as you would expect others to do unto you".
Did you PM me, to express your dissatisfaction with my own response, before wielding the big stick, with a ban?
Is it right to punish someone, without giving them the opportunity to "defend" their position?
You even "deleted" my post in question.

All did was ask a question (from the owner of the thread) and you insulted me over it... then you ban me for "calling you out" on that,...without even a warning!

If you ask me, l will say EVERYONE is entitled to a "fair hearing" before punishment and the Moderators/Super Mods should always PM the "offender" and demand for a response on why they should not be banned for x,y,z offense.

No one should be the "accuser and executioner"..... at the same time!
Absolute power they say corrupts absolutely.
We cant all sleep, with heads in the same direction,..... people must offer differing opinions, but in a polite manner.
Just imagine if a Policeman is given the authority to shoot and Kill any one ......accused of any offense the Policeman does not like? shocked shocked
Why are people protesting police brutality in Baltimore, if such thing is right?

Like you said, we are all here to learn thus, l am saying the above in a "General Sense" for learning purposes and going forward, who knows, if l wanted to be a Mod, l would have been one since l have been PM'ed to do so a number of times in the Previous years.

Let us allow Bygones, to be Bygones....
matter is closed and No beef! Its all about buildings.

Peace!


@Spyder!
Its a shame you dont work around Lagos and the South West, your dedication to excellence would have benefitted us more.
one thing l learned on this thread, amongst other things, is that Aluminium Frame you used to cover-up those Pipes!
The amount of beauty it has added to that house, is unquantifiable!
I wish l had that idea some 20yrs ago! ... though l stole it of recent, in a current development! grin undecided
I also noticed that you changed the color-combination of the Wardrobe (not combining two shades of Plywood as initially set out). I was happy when you did that as the colors now blends with that of the bedroom.
You are too much for only that side!
God will continue to strengthen you.

I really like what I saw but the price is lipsrsealed . And I wonder the distance between the purlins to be used i.e. is it going to be same as a long span or shorter distances? And truth be told, how many of our carpenters knows how to fix these?

@ spyder, I would love to see a pix of a roof it was used for?

Oga, I am good sir. We need to talk as regarding my interest at that y our end. I asked after you in 2 or more posts before I modified them.

As for the roof, I don't think the argument that the water is drinkable will hold water in Nigeria. Reason being that how many people who will live in a house with such an expensive roof will drink the rain water? Most will depend on bottled water from water dispensers, or treated water from boreholes. However, if the price is competitive, I don't mind using it. For now though, I am thinking of the Metcoppo.

Greetings distinguished ladies & gentlemen, first of all, let me apologise in advance for derailing this thread. I really do need the input and comments of professionals in the house.

I am currently involved in building 3 units of 3 bedroom flat on about a plot around eneka, Phc. We are currently completing the block work on the first decking. Although the builder has been responsible for paying for labour/supervision, materials, i have been really uneasy about the cost of labour and materials.

The builder claims that the high cost is due to the bad road network to the site and cost of materials especially in port harcourt. The fact that I have been away from the state for so long has also not helped.

So far, the building has gulped over 7mil (including labour, materials and supervision fees). The breakdown is shown below;
1. Substructure/foundation = 2, 100, 000
2. Block work to lintel = 1, 600, 000
3. 1st Deck = 2, 100, 000
4. 1st storey block work to lintel = 1, 550, 000
5. Electrical and plumbing pipes (ground floor and 1st floor) = 210, 000.

Grateful, if anyone with the port harcourt experience can be of assistance, cause the builder is insisting on 2.1m and 1.5m for the next decking and block work to lintel respectively.

such thing dey annoy person especially when it is totally unecessary. When you are far away youjusttake a deep breath and exhale to let off steam. See if you tell that you will get someone who will do what you want and csn afford if he will stop.

I went through this with architects on this forum.

No offense to them but clients, like me, sometimes knows what we want. I had to go through a few of them before I found someone who will see my ideas and then work with me into incorporating them into what will work in Nigeria.

Another architect lambasted my plan, without even seeing it, and offered to do something that should work for me. Imagine that! He already has formed an opinion on what I should like and no cares about what I want.
