Hi Fam

Is Macnugar Paints good? Especially, their ultrafine Matt emulsion.

If yes, please how much is it?

I also need suggestions for the best paint to use for a screeded exterior wall.
gbadexy is on here and he produces good and premium paints. No single complaint about his products so far.
I'll be buying from him next month. In Sha Allah.

Yes. There are alternatives when cooking. It's useless most of the time.
The plumber was indifferent about it though.

Its still going to be functional without a door but I would install a kitchen door for my tenants since you dont know the preferences of your future tenants and again kitchen gives some form of privacy especially when you have a visitor in a small apartment like the one you described.

Its like kitchen cabinets without door, its still going to be functional but all your garri, maggi and co will be exposed to whoever walk into your kitchen.

I told my plumber not to channel hot water to any of my hand wash basins. He was looking at me like I was from d moon.
He said supposed it's cold and there's need to use hot water..
I asked him if he has ever used hot water to brush or wash hands in Abuja.
He said no.
I told him if he use my pipes to send hot water to the basins, I will remove the cost of the pipes and mixer taps from his workmanship money.
He grudgingly did wht I wanted.

We had similar arguments on chamberless waste piping. Now all his works are chamberless.

Sometimes one has to insist on certain things.

Can you kindly help the contact of the plumber?

I like that chamber less waste piping

What is the practice here?

After pouring concrete, how long do you wait before you tile?

https://www. tcnatile. com/ faqs/27-tile-over-concrete.html

When pouring concrete, did you install a vapor Barrier or Vapor Retarder?

Close the gaps: https:// www. energy. gov/energysaver/vapor-barriers-or-vapor-retarders

If you cry about water ingress into the walls and the floor, then you will know why!

So I am remodeling an old house, and as I always do, I research the issue very deeply.

Found this, hope it helps someone given the hues and cries about damp wall, mold etc due to bad building practices locally.

Today I bought an 18 guage brad nailer locally while also placing an order for the 23 gauge pin nailer from overseas.

The sellers say these are low demand products in Nigerian so those who sell, don't stock it again or plan to restock if the current stock is exhausted.

I know that there are people who have and use these equipment, but the average carpenter in Nigeria can't be bothered, and it shows in the finishing of their work.

Good afternoon fam,

Thanks for always helping out.

I want to paint my house's exterior and fence but I am confused.

The painter suggested satin for the exterior but emulsion for the fence.

But my friend's wife who works in a paint company in Lagos suggested that I should use ultra-fine matte emulsion for both.

Note: I screeded the exterior but didn't screed the fence.

1. Please, what's the difference between satin and ultrafine matte emulsion?

2. Which one do you think I should go for?

3. I want suggestions on how to achieve the best without spending much.

Thank you.




1 : satin is shiny than Matt (Satin has a more resilient nature)


2 : I'd advise you go for Matt for your exterior.

There are three types: 1. electric 2. pneumatic 3. battery powered

Be very sure of the one you are buying

Kitchen door is an added advantage in 'a room self contain house'.

Here in Abuja the rent is higher for a self contain with kitchen door!

No kitchen door? Lower rent!!!
