Does he have a tile cutter machine?

the motorized one not the manual one?

That is if you are a person that is fastidious.

Please I need someone to help me with this, I got these quotes for the woodwork.
3x4 __ 35
2x6___ 22
2x4'___400
2×3____320
2×2___350

Now I was advised to buy 2X6 and cut into sizes rather than buying already cut wood. I was given this to buy in bulk and cut
2*6 = 560 = 756,000
3*4 = 35 = 47,250
courting 40,000

please would this bulk generate the quantity I was given above? what about the price? I was told they aare buying black Okilolo

No. But I have observed tilers using both.

Only the motorized one guarantees precision cuts and cuts that are all the same versus slight differences between pieces with the other one.

Some people don't care, there are others who get irritated by those slight differences.

Most people care, but after a point you just throw your hands and give up.

from ur calculations the 2x6 and 3x4 are same price. I don't think that is true in reality. and another thing to consider is the cost of splitting them to needed size or 2x2 , 2x3 and 2x4.

Thank you, he does quote the cost of cutting as 40k. I'm actually more concerned about whether the 560 pieces of 2X60 will yield these quantities: 3x4 __ 35, 2x6___ 22, 2x4___400, 2×3____320 & 2×2___350

2x6 and 3x4 both have same cross-sectional area of 12sqm (2x6=12 and 3x4=12), so the price is mostly the same for both.

We should still care.

I bought rebar (iron rods) and also bought binding wire.

They kept cutting. I had to go to Shoprite to get the galvanized binding wire on their shelves. Problem solved. That one never cuts when being tied and twisted.

those binding wires are very important.

You cannot cut out 3x4 from 2x6, so you have to buy the 35 pieces of 3x4 separately.

For the others:
400pcs of 2x6 can be cut into 400pcs of 2x4 and 400pcs of 2x2, so you'll have an extra 50pcs of 2x2 on top of the required 350.

160pcs of 2x6 can be cut into 320pcs of 2x3

400pcs + 160pcs = 560pcs
So you'll also need to buy another 22pcs of 2x6 which will not be cut.

In summary, you'll need a total of 35pcs of 3x4 and 582pcs of 2x6, from which you'll have an extra 50pcs of 2x2 after cutting.

No, it will not, kindly check again Sir. I believe you may have left out the 22pcs of 2x6 from your calculation.

Don't try it. Roofing is not where to cut cost.
That 2x6 is not actually 2 inches x 6 inches. Try and measure the thicknesses yourself.

Yours is better sir..

I paid someone on this thread #820,000 to do a job based on previous work relationship and on trust...since August...

Till today he has not done 10% of the job, he is nowhere to be found and he keeps promising today, tomorrow etc.. Just cos I never knew his office..met him here on NL

You can try his number again to go check on him at the hospital if he picks..or try him with a different number..

Good morning sir and thank you chief for this advice, thinking along this path already, may just have to go with it.


Gokoyer1401:
If you know the bank that you transfered the money to and his details, pls go to his/her nearest bank and complain about it asap. This is where BVN will do the work.

I have seen a case where they freezed a guy account for this. He had to agree on payment before the bank unfreeze his account.

Goodluck

I will sir, he reached out yesterday.

If he doesn't keep up to his words this week, I will have no option than just to call him out here, but take necessary actions allowed by law against him.

You may mention the person to save others from the same situation and force him to do the proper thing.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Successbay: 6:32am On Oct 30, 2022
I will sir, let's give him the final grace of this week to keep to his words, since he reached out yesterday.

I am sure he spent the money already, but won't listen to any of his pleas anymore if he doesn't get my jobs done.

why don't you mention the person, to save others that might want to give him job to do
