It is only possible at 5500 today, might even be higher by December if exchange rates increase. If you have the cash, buy what you need now and keep. Exactly this time in 2019, a carton was 2550

I am surprised cos everyone I have contacted are telling me least price 6000 then we have 6500, 7200 for a carton of Goodwill glazed porcelain....

Blessedsunny2 do you have Goodwill tiles and how much is a carton of 60x60?

Advice needed on property approval in lagos for a person in the diaspora.

We thought the process was complete( We have paid a little over a million already) and then they slap another 1.5million income tax assessment for someone resident abroad. How does one deal with this.

Apparently they have his P60 already


They are talking of appeal please make una tell us how you dealt with this

I respectfully disagree with you, Ericko2K2 and Mavverick.

Regardless of situation (garages and generators), there should be a working smoke detector at the entrance of each sleeping area.

Carbon Monoxide sensors should be located at an approved diameter.

In my city it's the law, for a purpose, and I actually have a detached garage.

Combining both detectors to me is the benefit of technology, which I cuddle.

There's a reason why we have one of the shortest life expectancy in the world.

Oh I'm also adding a radon detector but that might just push you guys off the ledge so I'll STFU about that grin

Only 5 mentions of the gas radon on this forum.

Why is that?

The video below demonstrates how they do it in other climes.

As I attempt to repair the source of the mold and mildew and damp, I have stripped the house to its foundation and now I am considering adding something like the above before doing the new german floor

Good day to everyone one. I'd like to seek opinions and suggestions.
I and my wife are almost done with our first rental building . I've extensively read about how some tenants could be worrisome and how ideal it is to hand over to a lawyer which we intend to do. The crux at hand are
1. What's an ideal amount to negotiate as fee with my lawyer
2. Would his fee also conver litigation process if thr need arises or would i have to negotiate that
3. What procedures can we take to avoid tenant issues as regards prompt payment
4. What should we look out in the tenancy agreement
5. If we get a lawyer would he also act as a care taker to the building.

Location: South South

Your suggestion will be highly appreciated

Please, using hammer on those doors is not the best corrective measure. Uninstall the doors, get a good welder to amend them and get a good mason to install it back. It will come out fine.

For the first/new tenant , his fees should be the fees for the lease agreement so your rent should remain intact. For rent renewal , you can negotiate 5% of the rental

A lawyer fee cannot cover litigation fees where there is need to evict a tenant. Usually, you may not pay for quite notices , but you will be charged for filing the processes in court and appearance fees.

You can't deal with prompt or delayed payment by tenants upfront. No matter the clause you have in an agreement, bad tenants won't give a damn and the only option is to take him to court with the attendant challenges associated with our Court system.

A lawyer should also be the caretaker. The tenancy agreement out there have almost the same clause....

Hello house, I’m a graduate of mechanic engineering and will be finishing my masters next month. I have taken interest to the building industry and will love to learn the trade. I’m located Warri. I will appreciate if I can be guided on how to begin my journey in the real estate world. Your responds will be very helpful
If you can channel your strength towards "intelligent building", it's gonna be great.
You may need to look for opportunities with big building construction companies.

My thinking is that a mechanical engineer would do better in power plant, automobiles and heavy duty equipment maintenance, repair and installations.
Won’t it be better to build on what you already have and in your area of expertise?
Not that you can’t do building thou, if that is where you have found new interest, but the learning curve would be stepped.

They have to bang the door before it closes and as a result, the top of the door (small piece) broke off... It isn't visible much till you look closely...
the framing was totally wrong. Very few people know how to make use of such frames. It should be cut in an angular form not the way it was done

Good morning great House. Please I have a question to ask. Is it true that POP ceiling something have little cracks as it dries? I saw few cracks on mine as they tend to dry up, I called the guy who did it and he said it's normal and he will come to fix it. He also said by the time the electrical guys finish their wiring, there will also be few cracks. Please how true are these? Regards
nothing to worry about, let the electrician finish there work, you might need him then

Nice building you got, please how many coaches of foundation block did you use?
Did you also do a horizontal beam and German floor?
Can you estimate the number of blocks you used from above German floor to lintel?
I'm building something similar although mine is with a penthouse I just concluded German flooring.

Good morning guys,

I need suggestions and advice on increasing the electric power in my house.

The current in my area don't even power my inverter ac conveniently.

So, some one suggested that I can buy a 5000w stabilizer to stabilize and increase the current output in my home.

Another person said there is a central stabilizer called prag or A&E that can increase the electric current power in my house.

Please, I need help ooooh

What should I do?

How low is the current? If it's too low, below 100 volt, 5 or 10Kva stabilizer won't step up the current.
If you could get someone to lend you a stabilizer to testrun your home, If it works fine, then get yous
