Skirting? You mean architrave

Yes, I mean architrave but the joinery trade in Nigeria call it skirting.

diordaves:


I installed wooden internal doors and the doors were made over two years now with absolutely no problems. The doors remain straight, well laped with no warping.

I used IKPAYA wood. This is what we call it in Delta. It may be different in your area. It is also called Azobe, Ekki or red ironwood. The wood is sometimes used for electric pole and bridges as it's water resistant. The botanical name is Lophira alata.

The trick is to source for dried ones and after making the doors, don't hang immediately. Stand them to dry further. I allowed mine to stand and dry further for 30 days before hanging and vanishing. Also mind the door thickness which is 40mm.


Many thanks to you. May God Almighty bless you.

@checkitaut..pay this man his money . How much is the money sef that you cant pay back. This is why anyone who come here to seek service from any Nigerian here , risky losing his or her money. I repeat if you need granite come ibadan , RCC QUARRY , EMINENT QUARRY IS available just walk in and place ur order .Abeokuta is there ..pick the closest. Everyone is hungry in Nigeria. I get things done myself every where I go.

@chekitaut, could you try and settle with engineer segzy asap. The prolonged dragging of the issue is bad for business.
I'm particularly worried because cases like this offer a setback to the online business community we are trying to build with already distrust and lack of confidence by some.
I have suggested the use of online feedback more to alert people on product and service quality of vendors, clients and contractors so that others don't fall into the same problem and the fear of negative publicity will serve as deterrent.

@chekitaut this is very bad of u
To think that u were one of the pioneers of this thread and witnessed how those who tried to defraud people on NL ended up is quite shocking. All your posts ever since Segzy14 brought up this issue doesn't make sense, just flimsy excuses. I know u no longer value your business on NL reason u are doing this. Please for future sake, pay this man his money.

luvablesam:
I need numerous suggestions on this please!!

I got a land recently in a swampy area(swamp caused by people diverting their flood water to my land because the land is on a lower land).

I would like to build a storey building on it.

My question now is that can I used 6-inch blocks with no holes(flats like they call them here) or use normal 9-inch hollow blocks.

Wont the walls be constantly wet if i use the 9-inch hollow blocks?

I need all the suggestions and help i can get.

Thanks

You need not just a normal foundation but a Raft foundation because the soil bearing capacity of the land must have been low because of too much water content and weak soil particles

The system is already filled up with distrust that we are trying to build. This case will only make it worst and not doing us any good. Pls Segz, Chekitaut try and settle OK.

@ Archaran, you don't need to use fake monikers to promote your biz. Note that there are great.minds and intellects on this thread and NL in general. From the English construction of the two post recommending you makes me suspicious, and this lead me to check the profile of the two monikers and I discovered that the two monikers we're registered same day 25th of October. Bros I don't mean to burst your bubble but note that whatever will be will be just be yourself. One luv and wishing you the best.

Good evening all, i was informed of several post from a friend here about Segzy post. Yes i hv never d9 u paid me oof service wish is yet to be delivered. is a pity d urgly incident occurred anyway. We left Abeokuta with 2trucks of 30tons load going to Eng Samuel's site @Oko afon. we access tru Oshodi, because Atan terrible state of road, we encounter a gridlock at Toyota to Cele which made a experted nite delivery a day time delivery. Most of d truck like nite due to VIO, FRSC & LASMAN in lagos to aviod fall victims to law.
The 2trucks where not mine i lease it. D driver was not my staff, but they fall in d hands of FRSC corp each ticket was charge almost 90keach.no speed limit, no driver license, no fire..., no xtra tyres etc. what i dod waa to inform him. is a big challenge 2tricks. i hv disappointed no doubt but is never my making.
i was out of cash i told u on call that even N1k i dont hv thinking to deliver & get bal. Anyway i know Segzy14 very well, what you did is not of u, but...no wahala. Tell me what u want you said i shld refund. the running cost of d delivery is above N340k. i will refund if u insist, i will deliver if u want, wish ever way.

but how do you in 2019 lease a truck whose driver does not have a valid driving licence...no extra tires and no fire extinguisher?

I mean you clearly knew these things cos you said they drive at night cos they dont ve these things...

Fire extinguisher is abt 10k...license abt 20K and then ofc you need extra tires..you dont need VIO or anybody to tell you that.

Running a sustainable business requires that at all time you dont run fowl of certain things..this tryin to cut corners is the reason why some business collapse in Nigeria. I hope you learn from this and come out stronger.

in the main time..kindly refund the amount to the guy.
