Nice one but one observation, if the pipe is blocked and you need to use K-ROD to through the pipes.. hope it won't be a problem

The same way k-rod is fished through chambers, the same way it work here.

In fact it’s a lot more easier in chamberless system as the pipes aren’t deep down in the ground like we have in the chamber system.

Open the cap plug and fish. Simple.

You are still in this matter. The owner got a 10% discount by using the strategy he got here from knowledgeable project managers.
He even came back to give thanks and testify.
Who wouldn’t? after knocking off like 500k from #4.8 that he was quoted.
Now with this #2.8m estimate you have, he would have gotten 2 foundations.

We need more enlightenment on matters like this for all.He is not just helping the poster but others who are in similar quagmire.

It guides us in making better and more informed decisions.

If it didn't pose any problem passing the rods through Pic 1, I don't see how Pic 2 would be any issue.

Well I’m just speaking for me.

I appreciate this but ...

n3xt:


It’s not good enough for referrer to fold arms in circumstance like this and expecting the parties involved to sort their issues by themself or to we them to bring the issue to the public forum for debate.

The only reason I think Micgray100 felt safe to deal here is because someone stood surety for the contractor. And we do not need to mount pressure on matured adults all the time to solve minor issues.


I do not expect a recommender (not 'referrer' as you call it - which implies getting some benefit in the transaction) to stand surety.

If I highlight a service provider based on my honest lived experiences, it is your own risk to transact with that person and I cannot be involved in any resulting shennanigans.

If that becomes part of the equation, this thread loses something further and is well on the road to being a hollow shell of giant adverts for solar batteries.

Ahem, I'm speaking for me too. Good day

Yes. There is Allcopacetic, Topsy23, and Jaffos (Jaffos is not on NL, but my private cable guy). You can order, pay them because they are Agents and pickup from respective factory of Nigerchin (Ikeja) and Coleman (Mowe). This is done for authenticity , so as not to get fake cable.

Note: You get it cheaper from Agents than going directly to buy it at the factory. The Agents get more discounts.

Sorry my bro for what you’re currently experiencing.

I won’t expect anything meaningful from here though because we’ve walked this route before many years ago and the highly respected and reputable members you seek had no meaningful contributions to make. It’s like they rejoice in downfall of some folks here.

Try reach out to the borehole contractor and see how you can resolve amicably. You may have to make some unplanned expenses though.
If he hasn’t moved the faulty machine, just hold on to it till everything is resolved. That’s the only thing you can use to hold him.

I was in similar situation in 2013 and all I got here was “He was a fraud despite the fact that all evidence proved contract was awarded to a ‘reputable’ sub-contractor.” I even engaged a team of geologist led by a Prof at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo to conduct the survey. Yet, we got no water.

Who gets the blame now? Because that’s all we know how to do best here.

You?
Or the borehole contractor?
Or the highly respected nairalander who recommended the borehole Contractor?


Once again, sorry for the inconveniences this might have caused you.
_______

I already placed caveat on borehole drilling outside Lagos.
Please, Is it advisable to drill a borehole during rainy season?

House.. Please advice me on what to do.. I gave a bore hole contract of 350k to a borehole driller.. The borehole driller was recommended by one of a highly respected Nairalander on this property section..
The borehole driller also insisted on mobilization before he can come to site

300k was paid......The guy came to site and started he job. The guy was yet to drill 15 meters before I heard the machine have develop fault...

for more than a month now... it has been excuses and excuses..
And I respect this referal Nairalander a lot..

I had to convince the borehole guy to buy the pipes from the money with him... which was priced 173k...
Now I am left with the job hanging now..

What should I do?.. How can I resolve this issue without causing much arguments...

I am not a wahala person...

I resemble this.
