Please I need advice on using subframe for my windows... I have seen a lot of problems with some Subframe; like of square, gaps after installation of the windows and other problems. Will it be advisable to install the windows directly?

House,Please what is the cheapest way to screed exterior of a duplex and cost implication ?thanks in advance.

Option 1.

Paint with a primer emulsion paint. Sandpaper after drying. Won't be very smooth but a very cheap method.

Option 2. Buy and use ready mix screed putty white color. @Gbadexy can help you with this. Its better and cheaper than mixing ones

I don't know about Lagos but in PH when I had issues with them,I threatened to go to war with them--we die once. I promised them heavy casualties on both sides. One thing was certain--they don't want to die. By the way, that was a phone conversation.

I made contacts with their Vice Chairman, paid him off and had him keep his boys at bay. At a point I had to grease the palms of their igwe and cabinet . But in all, I spent about 40% of the original amount demanded. Being a gentleman could be a vice sometimes in Nigeria.

Brethren, if you have any omonile issue, @bolded, is the cheapest way to resolve it.

Just like every other living thing, there's a way to get your way.. in the animal kingdom, be at peace with mother elephant and she will give you a pass to their community.. remember a queen bee?

Same thing with human, if you could locate the king of boys or any of their high chiefs things will be easier for you but the trouble there is, lots of time those folks are very scarce to be found.

I have done same like InvertedHammer did and I paid wayyyy less than his boys were demanding.. I was able to locate the king of boys and it happened he traveled to squander his money grin , I drove from different country, a journey of round trip 1hr 45 mins.
I told him Chief, I am trying to be like you when I grow up but your boys won't let me,, gave him the run down,, and the address of the build..
My omonile payment was his restaurant tab and a ticket to watch a live football match.
Folks thought I came in for a fight, but in business you gotta know when to fight and when to negotiate..

So try and locate the king of boys if you can, and it could be very hard and sometimes they might not want to listen to you. If you are not from that area, go with someone that is from that area, it will make your life easier..


Cheers!

These may look good to some people. But for me, it would be as if I am under heavy loads. Looking at these ceilings may even cause me headache. I love my ceilings to be straight, plain with fine details.

The more complicated POP ceiling becomes, the more it looses appeal to me. This is my own position. Everybody has his own taste.
Yes, such designs would be in the living room only

The rest of the rooms would have a calm design

IMHO, it’s relative and subject to individual taste. The ceilings you posted feels overdone to me. But I’ve never been a fan of lodge houses.

Attached are pictures from a $18M house. Flat ceilings.

I come in peace.
This is Beautiful Chief,

I love this flat roof design

I am glad you like.

As a matter of fact, if one is building a kobo kobo project, I think it is economical to do a flat roof.

See how the processing fee for your building plan approval is been worked

L X B X H of Building x MF

(L X B X H of Building x MF stands for the length , Width and height of the building)

(MF means Multiplying Factor for the location of the Proposed Building from foundation to roof top of the Proposed Building.)

Hello sir, this calculation can’t be seen as right amount except if something as charge since last year. Especially the estimate of S.E.C it way to much. May be other people that apply for approval within last year can tip in their experience. Location matters I no this because I have one in those locations that State considers charging prime rate. Please don’t let us scared people away from doing the right things because of cost.

I know folks who got 6million assessment for plan approval for duplex at the beginning of August. The advice is to wait it out that LASG will soon review downwards

Good evening boss
Subframe is very good but it depend on the bricklayer that will plaster it more so it makes house beautiful and neat, even in the future if you want to change the window you don't need to break the wall the only thing to do is to loose the screw you use in tying the window and bring the window out

The ordinary one without subframe is also good and neat it will come with nylon and the bricklayer will have to clean it immediately so that the stain will not scratch the window and it will look beautiful and neat.
For this in the future if you want to remove the window you have to break the wall before removing it
Thanks
