Like they use 2 different gates in one compound?

I don't have pictures but yes. Two or more gates in one compound. Two gates at the main entrance, other exit points will have gates.


Over here,we build to make a statement. The first gate will give you a peek into the compound but the other one will provide the needed privacy

n3xt:


Yeah but the true measure of success is how much time we’re able to save whilst achieving top quality finish and not how much money.

Often times, we use our time to save more money instead of using our money to save more time. Then the project drags and inflation set in and eventually the project get stalled or abandoned.

If you compare the difference, the cost is really not that much but the time spent can’t be compared if it’s a large scale project.

Well said,sir

Which installation comes first on a staircase for better aesthetic: Tiles or handrails?

Either can be done and still get a good result. But tiles before handrails allows the beauty of a smooth tiling without making provisions for the handrails, then using cutters to make incisions later on at the exact spots our handrails fall into. This might present a neater finish.

n3xt:


It’s cool but you have to handle the installation with care and it must be well planned. You also need to carefully chose the area to install it.

I won’t recommend this inside a residential building because it’s highly flammable and could shrink/melt under relatively high-temperature.

It’s cool if you’re using it for outdoor projects and under slabs in open areas.

Thanks sir, settled

You are right, I dont think Zaria will be same as those days. I have not been there since early '70s. Good old days. Cadbury was next to John Holt.
I love Zaria and I was really sad being posted back to Lagos... but as soon as I got back to Lagos, I checked out of the country... and I have been here since. Good old 50 years ago goes like yesterday.
God help us to bring our country back to life.

Have heard stories of how people bought land for just ₦250 Naira back then.

I really hope things would change Positively for our dear Nation.

With proper tools, of which I’ve avail to my Tiler, I’ll prefer to have the handrails first. And it’s exactly what I did.

Thanks @ Baba Egun, n3xt, Spyder880 and Michlins.

I guess it comes down to available tools.

Upland is even an obscure city.

$2900 == N1.6 million. Then add utilities and bills.

$2900/month = $34,800/year == N19.1million / year in rent.

Orange County or Bay Area will be a no-go area for renters.

1 month rent in Southern California is more than 1 year rent (for equivalent number of rooms) in upscale part of PH.

Go figure!

My uncle told my cousin this same thing, my cousin replied

"Daddy, how many plots did you buy then?"
The discussion ended there. Needless to say, but my uncle never mentioned this talk about the olden days again.

May our children never have reasons to ask us same question. Amen.

Are you making money for your neighbours to know? When you say know about it, in what ways?

Meaning because land sold for ₦250 then doesn't mean it was affordable to all.

Materials are much and by the way is there no ac here? Can’t see any 4mm cable right there… and what type of cable is he quoting for!?

He said Coleman brand sir
I’m thinking of cutix because I read here that it’s the best cable to use
And he said 2.5mm for the AC.

Simple.

For those always using the price of old to tell the tales of how Nigeria has "spoilt" should not forget that when lands sold for ₦500, average earnings might not have been above ₦10 to ₦50.

If you are in East cutix is okay . 2.5mm cable for AC? IEE standard says 4mm. Below are the recommended cable sizes for appliance by IEE regulation

1.5mm is lighting lighting
2.5mm is for socket
4mm is for AC and water heater
6mm is for cooker
