Embedded or Standalone? More details on kobocity.com

I was inspired by the images in Pic 3 & 4 to design something cool for my ongoing project. The most impressive part is the locking system.

Yes.

I think I gave you someone who delivered to your site before (Mr Sunday).

I have different guys for different location and they lift from different quarry.

Yes that why I was wondering.

Thought you changed him..

No. Sunday lifts from Kobape/Ibadan quarry.

I’m giving the OP someone who can lift from Isara and nearby quarries. As you know distance determines the final price.

The price is to OPIC before RCCG. I’m sure with a little more he should get to mowe.

Let me confirm though.

I guess that's one of the limitations of using wood in construction.
I've wondered why we don't build cheap and durable houses using treated wood as it's being done abroad but I now understand that we would have to find a way to dry them out first for effective treatment.

Another one.

Looks like sliding burglary system but I don’t see them opened.

Get one and practice opening them while half asleep. Every one in the house must be able to open them so the opening design is crucial.

Not just openable burglar proofs. We also need to start introducing terraces into every commercial buildings. It’s not a status symbol. It can serve as an escape route in case of emergencies.

For those of us buying plans, ask your architect what is the fire escape plan in his design. Is it to jump from the 3rd floor? Or to call Naija fire service?

RIP to the dead.

Following for the sake of extra knowledge.
There are companies that do soluble silicate in Nigeria. It makes wood fire retardant and termite proof. A dry wood would absorb it properly to be effective.
With proper coating, the treated wood can be made water proof also.
There are schools over 70 years with hard wood decking used for a storey building that are still standing and even the first storey building in Nigeria has wooden parts.
I think some of the challenges with using them could be surmounted like the automobile oven suggested.
The major problem in my opinion is the herd mentality of a typical Nigerian and they would quickly coin a derogatory term to describe such owner as poor of the poor.

Thanks Engr Ayyub for delivering on this, you didn't only deliver on time but also in full.

My Dad was very pleased with the successful out come of the job and the professionalism displayed by your team.

Another thing that beat his expectation is the speed at which the job was delivered.

Many thanks,

Wishing you Allah's continuous blessings.

If so, it means there is business opportunity right there.
This is the idea;
Buy wet wood for cheap
Sun dry it for period of time
Sell then back as “natural organic cured wood”
Even more, turn them to finished product like doors and smile to the bank.

This is what I always preach but get shouted down.

There are vast opportunities in Nigeria. N3xt would say “focus on the last mile” and its apt in this regards.

There are small mills, even mobile ones that can be bought here in Nigeria. Wood can be left naturally to dry over seasons.

To become rich in Nigeria is very easy. A lot of people are looking for these woods.

Trust Naija artisans like me grin, unlike Baba Egunmogaji2, we will only start looking for such wood only when there's a client for it. We hardly stock up.

I bought about 50 pcs of 2*6 "osan" wood few weeks ago. I told the guys in the sawmill to hint me whenever they come across it again.

@mountmoriah, @johntemmy, how much is osan at your end?

This is a real issue. Much so that I haven’t been able to get red copy survey.

The association of surveyors have been meeting with Makinde. He has reduced the requirements down from Ajimobi but not enough.

Reduced it to how many metres?

Not weld, they just tie the reinforcement irons together.

All these new technologies still need some human touch.
