Provide details like floor plans, foundation layout etc. Someone could help you.

A six bedroom duplex.

One of my sitting room wall is allign with a dwarf existing perimeter fencing such that a thin space (2 inches) was created in-between the wall. Of course, my sitting room is higher than the dwarf perimeter fence hence external plastering was done to prevent weather effect. But each raining season, the interior surface finishing of my sitting room get moist, develop fungi and peel off surface finishing overtime. I had to repaint the surfaces at the end of each raining season. I've filled the in-between wall spaces with broken block & mortar but yet it didn't stopped the moisture on the interior surface. Can cement screeding of the interior surface be a solution? Or is there any water repellant paint that you can recommend? Please, I need your professional advice and thank you in anticipation of your kind response.

Does this happen only to the wall that is very close to the perimeter fence or on all the walls?
if it is on all the walls then the foundation was not built properly, my guess is that you did not do the proper German floor.

Hi experts,

Thanks for your previous advice. It has helped me reach the present stage my house is.

Please, I need advice again. I want to do a granite top for my kitchen. Please, what's your advice? I need your financial advice and any other advice that can help me.

Thanks!

I deleted the message I typed to be sent to you cos I realized I'm not the one you're referring to but you should've quoted him not me.

This story was copied from my WhatsApp group.

He was paying N9,000,000 (Nine Million naira) yearly for 3 bedroom flat in Maitama, Abuja. It was later increased to 10M and he was paying. No savings. No investment. He's working. He believed and depended on his salary. It will surely be coming.

His argument:

"When you live in the neighborhood of big men, you will behave like big men. You roll with big men. Packaging. You network".

His junior colleagues went to the developing areas like Lugbe, FO1 Kubwa, Ushafa and bought lands in the selling estates there. They used their salary and built to their satisfaction, the kind of house they needed. They also rented the boys quarters and build other commercial houses they rented out.

This man in Maitama was making mockery of those friends of his for living in the outskirts of the city. He said they live in the village and shouldn't claim they are in Abuja.. He always argued that living in the neighborhood of the rich makes you have respect, you network.

Fast forward to the second tenure of Bubu, something happened. The man was sacked. Remember, for the past 10 years, he has been paying rent between 9M to 10M in Maitama when all his mates became landlords.

His rent is expiring next month, no money to renew it or even get another one. He told one of his friends— those he laughed at for staying in the village to give him a flat from his house. He sent him the number of the property lawyer.

"Excuse me. You are my friend. You should give me this for free. You know what I am passing through".

His friend replied him:

"Building materials didn't come to me for free. The land I bought wasn't for free. Please, my house has been handed over to a lawyer. If you need it, call him, he will tell you the price. There are others who need it. I can only convince my lawyer to give it to you because we are friends. So, if you are serious about it, you let me know".

He paused, they paused; both of them paused.

This is not fiction. I know those involved.

Over 10 years of living in the neighborhood of the rich, ọga is still poor. Think and plan your life. Where you live doesn't matter. What matters is you and the value you create. Stay in the forest, the world will find you.

Are these tabletop sinks? How are they sold? I’m assuming they come in different sizes.

Thanks.

Abeg, Electricians in the house, how do you see this quotation an electrician gave me for a 5 bedroom duplex in Imo state?

Salt and Water will be provided by your father

Yesterday, someone mentioned that 4 of his kids graduated from an Ivy League, Columbia university and there are 2 others currently in university? At the minimum, assuming the remaining 2 are not in an Ivy League, that is 67% of your kids attending one of America’s topmost universities.

It was a post I read fleetingly as I was in and out of the thread, replying to mentions and I didn’t get a chance to respond to it. Well, better late than never. I thought it was Kopell but I checked his post history and apparently not. To that gentleman, my arms are raised, I hail you, I give honour to whom is due. In my neck of the woods, those are the kinda things we recognize as “doings.” Awon omo ire bi custard, wonderful kids like custard that make your head swell. Those are the kinds of achievements that impress me, that I seek - kids that make their parents proud and make a difference in their generation. Whoever that Oga is, your feat is marvellous in my sight. You are doing extremely well

Some would say shebi it’s the kids that had the intellect to attend and graduate an Ivy League school but I say to parents: Never underestimate the power of the upbringing, the motivation, the direction that you give your children and the conditions you create to help them succeed. May our offspring make us proud, may we have the resources to help them achieve their purpose. Well done, Sir!

If you can afford it go for it, if you can't use wood for the top then lace it with ceramic tiles it will be cheaper than granite top. no much advice is needed for this one, money should be your motivation

IF THE MOISTURE CANT BE CONTROLLED.....USE RECENT FINE WALL PAPER TO COVER IT UP... USE ENOUGH TOP BOND... IT WILL LAST YOU MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS
