Have you tested the sample, if not, You will need to obtain water quality test report, take it to any reliable laboratory for testing, perhaps, the cause might not be any of those mentioned

Yes sir. Hybrid inverter is the best choice.
which one be hybrid.

I have spent as much as I intend to for now but I am investing some time on getting good knowledge on types of inverters, batteries, charge controllers and solar panels etc. I don't like being a novice so tay dem give me anything and I don't know if its good value or not. Its too much money to be handing over anyhow.

I was happy with the first phase ie inverter and batteries but not so with the next phase of solar panel and charge controller (looks like old model tokunbo 60 cell solar(he assures me that as a German product it is better than the Chinese version in the market )and quoted 110k charge controller but delivered one for 20k). It has been working okay with no problems but I want a different charge controller.

I did not know enough about them to venture to buy the materials and I have every intention of changing this soonest. I did have the benefit of seeing life for 6 months, with no problems, an installation done for a close relative.

I was impressed with his installers who come across as efficient and know what they are doing and this is extremely important to me.

With the benefit of hindsight I would spend more time finding out re materials such that I am more specific about the spec I want, and make sure I am comfortable with any recommendations.

Its a recommendation of a person i have never met , have only messaged on WhatsApp and phone, was told he is based in ibadan. who was recommended by my brother in law.

Caveat: If you come at me if you do not do your due diligence I go teach you how to woman down. grin grin grin

The wood used are oven baked to dry off all water or moist content it has before any work is done n seasoned thereafter.

That is nice to know. Is there any enforceable guarantee on the doors then? How long are these, if in existence?

Many thanks.

Hello house.
Please advise on the step to take. There is a building built to carcass and set for roofing but abandoned for over 5 years and infested with mighty termites houses and big trees but all were cleared within days. Bricklayers were contacted to screed the floor to avoid further tree growths and termites. Within days, 3 miscreants calling themselves Ajagungbale were disturbing and stopped them from working until the owner pays for german floor. They beat them with all sort of things and siezed their working tools. The family that contracted the 3 men to the lands distanced themselves from these acts and asked the Bricklayers to continue working but the 3 men are still threatening and collected money from the artisans. Please advise on legal and effective action to take on these 3 men.

Tell the family to try and locate the Baale of the area... i am sure the issue will be resolved with a token of money.... they wont disturb again... the Baale is like their head in the area.. and they have much respect for him...

FOR YOU TO GET SOLUTION... PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE SOIL STRATA DIGGING PROFILE WILL BE NEEDED AND MAXIMUM DEPTH REACH... THEN SOLUTION CAN BE OFFERED..

THE SOLUTION MAY BE TO FURTHER DIG DOWN OF APPLYING CHEMICAL AND SIEVING MATTERIALS....

I have been reading on this issue since it started. Its funny how you are trying to act innocent in this matter. We are all Nigerians, and know quite well that once an artisan do not delivers, its almost impossible to recover anything. If the law enforcers are not effective, what other means are there The next best thing is to result to self-help, which is a dangerous way to handle things in our Nigeria. Even you refused to go after your loss. Instead, you have decided to go after the Innocent person that his only mistake was to try to help you get a borehole done by referring someone he has personally used successfully at the time in question. For me, He has no question to answer here but he chose to protect his image by trying to help resolve the matter amicably. We all know and have seen the gentleman work with honor on this forum for years. That stands for something!!! which is why you seek his recommendation.

I trust no one even in the USA. I have been victimized severally in the US on many deals. I lost $400k home to foreclosure when a tenant from hell decided to fraud me. Went to court 9 different times on the matter and had to walk away when the cost of securing the home was getting too much and the emotion was getting too high for my personality. I am sharing this story to tell you that shit happens and if the enforcer of law are too useless to work, then you are better off moving on and hope that you learn one or two things from it: it called EXperience!!!

Goodluck and stop attacking your helper.

LIES...
I paid the casing pipe seller myself 100k... your fraudster Borehole guy only added 50k from the 200k to complete the payment of the pipe... I am now thinking TWINSKENNY is part of this fraud....

From the begining the guy visited my site.. I told you and him am a civil servant here in Abuja.. I told you in strong words that I am not on ground.. that all I want is result... I stressed the word... RESULT... before I sent you the money for mobilization..

I told you from the begining I have no business with police.. They even advised you here on the forum that police isn't the right way.. that instead you use the police tracking money to refund me...

TWINSKENNY.. Refund my money...

main vendor Sir.

Many things could cause this... it could be expansion of the bonding materials(normal cement or white cement)
it could be differential settlement of the building if the screeding is not properly done..

My solution when I encountered this type of problem is to do well polished terazo floor..

There are many ways to kill a rabbit... more solutions are welcome...

The Baale is a young man who a member of their family as well. I already reported them to the chairman of that family, who in person claims the miscreants can't be controļed by him and some family members anymore. N.B: These touts were contracted by them against other parties to claim these lands.

Do they really have respect for Baales?

I cannot forget what one omo onile said to a Baale during an encounter in one of my site few years back. He said “If not that there are no elderly people in the family, would someone like you become a Baale? I will slap you Brother Waheedi.”

On hearing this, I quickly succumb to their pressure and pay them their N2m jejely.

Although the test result is not available, but I'm suspecting, there's high iron level in the water, or presence of other heavy metals, the water needs to be treated further, either with basic water softener, oxidation filter or RO( reverse osmosis), all depends on your test result, kindly consult any competent Water treatment specialist to advice you on the best option to improve the quality of the water,

Yes ma'am. Most solar inverters are hybrid.
Update on the wind turbine as complementary source of power as promised: it's a big flop.
The blades doesn't move for most of the time and the voltage supplied is too low to charge the battery even though it's high up on the roof with no building higher than it.
Best to double the solar panels or the battery more than the normal specification than to opt for the wind system.
The wind would need to be very high to generate significant voltage to charge the battery.
