A lucky buyer is in for a refreshing treat.

Unfortunately I don’t swim in the Lagos pool being a local man.

But Lagos is also Local since its within South West and Nigeria at large.

Everywhere in Nigeria is local to a Nigerian.. Innit sir?

Well explained. And to save the aged from defending and ascending.

No sir it doesn't require a terrace. Kitchenettes are not meant for ground floors.
Just adding a small sink is enough for cleaning and drainage purposes. It's not for major cookings. Hardly are there any cooking down inside a kitchenette. It's more or less of a quick fix area. It could also be in one small corner to your Masters Bedroom.

But mostly your kichenette should have kicthen electronics such as; an electric Kettle, a toaster, a sandwich maker, a mini Microwave and a small fridge.

TOPIC- Why I love Adequate Interior Shelving

We all grow into our Interiors and sometimes when we outgrow that one and we then move into a new one. But what happens when the space is yours permanently. Hi, my name is Olukemi Olutola and I am an Interior Blogger/Decorator. One thing paramount with me in my line of business is that I always design mostly permanent homes for people. And that's why I think into the future for clients while designing their homes.

Shelves refers to anything made to store, hold or keep. It could be made of any form of material but today we are looking into the newest mode of storage materials which is wood or Imported boards. The gorgeousness of the designs made out of these materials to create appropriate shelves has been awesome. Media sections, Dinner area displays, Office shelves, Bedroom study areas, Kitchen Cabineteries, Display shelves, Book shelves just naming a few.

Dear architects on here, please a request.

I have a narrow plot of 28ft by 92ft and I am wondering if a befitting house can be built on such a plot and I don't feel clustered or chocked within the space.
Is it possible to achieve this with a reasonable set back on one side for external passage?
Or I just look for a more square plot to build on?
Its for a family of 6 occupants.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

I am not an architect but I would suggest you build a 2 story terrace on it. The square footage is doable. And with a good architectural design, that small space would be enviable.

I had the architect include one kitchenette on the middle floor and another on the penthouse close to the mancave. The one on the penthouse will service the private lounge and the entertainment theater for pop corns and coffee.

the difference is basically on the quality of materials to be used. 2.5mm pan is stronger and better but in my opinion, it's not needed. 2mm will do just a fine job.

Ok Thanks. Some drunken Contractor's driver damaged one of my building's gate and I have been meaning to replace it, also fixed but not to my quality.
Still keeping you in mind Sir. Thanks.

wrought iron. This is basically 2mm pan cut with laser.

Meanwhile wrought iron rods are at least 14mm thick.

The truth is, I never knew God will answer my prayers and grant my wish. Doing German flooring was something I couldn't afford then. So, I just wanted to build the house by cutting my coat according to my size. But after raising the building God answered my prayers and not doing a German flooring is something I am sad about now.

And if I may, why didn't you do a German flooring?

Old age has been taken care of down stairs. The architect was going to sell me the idea of “down below” living room, I told him to take off the plan as it would hardly be wheelchair accessible.
Also one room down stairs, now guest room is designed with plan to be adapted as masters when that time comes

Good day nairalander, please I have a building project that is at the stage of fence plastering now. I believe I have overpaid at few stages of the project but then I learnt my lessons already by making sure I get a second opinion after receiving a quote from the Artisan. The fence covers 2 plots of land measuring 35m X 30m, and the height is about 2m with Capping which they call "coping". Bricklayer bills #280,000 for workmanship, I felt this is too much, tho I paid #420,000 to plaster this 2bedroom house seated on it with excuses from him that the previous bricklayer did a bad job with the block laying though obvious, so he's going to do "amisa" that is filling and filling just to get it straightened out, even though we eventually fought over it cos he tried to cut corners by wanting to skip it but then I knew I overpaid.

So I don't want that repeating itself now, that's how I landed here please.

Thank you for your advice.

It is a bungalow. No we didn't do German flooring. We did chain lintel. Most of the cracks are coming from down and going up although some are start at the middle. I also noticed that some of the cracks are from the windows we blocked.


It may just be the foundation settling or the plaster works playing tricks on you if the cracks are not on both sides of the wall. I will do nothing and observe the cracks for some months to see if they are getting wider and if there are further cracks. Chances are no further movements.

let me ask,in the instances you overpaid do you get exactly what you want? Like do they deliver value for money


Why I'm asking you is because there are very few artisans out there who will do your job without hassles. What clients do recently is to stick to a particular artisan who delivers and then recruit more through him. You don't want the wahala of artisans trust me
