Sometimes REST!

Did you work on the project as a sub-contractor under him?

If yes, then you’ and others have been covered under the sub-contractor and suppliers he mentioned at the end.

If no, like I suspect, then don’t you think it’s the person that gave you the job (probably the client in this case) that you should be demanding recognition from, if at all?

Besides, what kind of vendor calls out someone for not singing their praises for a job they’re paid to do? SMH ��‍♂️

Sometimes, just resist the urge.

Well done

But there is nothing wrong in also mentioning those who help make your building come out pretty well…


The electrician (Twinskenny)

The pop guy (bolu1986)

The paint supplier and painter (Gbadexy)

At least try and give a little credit to them as well…

My opinion though…

Well done

Are you thinking about buying the roofing sheets and then accessories, after which you would get someone to fix them ? That process might cost you more , except you know exactly what you are doing. Buying the sheets, valleys, troughs, caps, nails, gum etc would require some knowledge.
It’s best to contract roofing to a reliable person, let them deal with it.
But to your question, Agric at Ojo barracks or Orile Coker is your best bet.

Do you have thier contact.

I have the quote already and people to fix it

Bros, oro yin ti sun awon eyan. People just dey read and waka pass.

The first thing I noticed is that you have decided to adopt N3xt’s playbook by disclosing your customer’s name when his moniker would do the same job. That is pure mischief and shows the level of your professionalism. That alone is a turn off for potential customers. When you now add this join-join, caterpillar explanation, you no try at all! Oro o dun l’enu yin, Sir! Your version does NOT sound at all credible!

You even reported his wife to him, orisirisi! After feeding and housing your boy + you getting paid! Oga, e try at all! This your behaviour is very shameful! Do you think it’s all about the naira? How about time value of money, especially in a high inflation economy like Nigeria’s? Abi you think his #80k today is same as #80k of months ago?

Diordaves talked about budgeting skills, that is basic 101 when you are running a business, otherwise you will become a scammer. If budgeting is too hard, borrow a leaf from Money121, owo customer ko gbo do pe l’owo Contractor. Mobilize clients’ funds quickly before you become tempted to marry another wife or buy hair for side chic or buy iPhone 14 for in laws or do Dorime with money that is not yours. That basic strategy will save you a lot of pain. The money for materials, labor, logistics - set it aside from the beginning like who dey pay tithes so that you don’t touch it and spend it without delay for the intended purpose. Learn to separate customers’ money from your profit. Only take jobs you can deliver on, oruko rere san ju wura lo. A good reputation will open doors for you but dis kain kurukere does nothing to help your business. Na here you go dey and newcomer Contractors go dey collect contracts that you should be getting by easy referrals.

If you can’t run a business, let me remind you that not all of us are cut out to be business owners. It’s okay to be an employee if you don’t have what it takes to own a business. Know your strengths and weaknesses so that you know which suits you best . I know I have bad mouth and I’m impatient with bullshit so I wouldn’t do great as a business owner, that is why I jeje work for somebody and collect salary. I sleep well at night, better than the CEO because I don’t have to worry about dealing with customers and customer sentiments. In your case, if you have trouble handling other people’s money and delivering on contracts, then go and work for a contractor and be collecting salary instead of parading as a professional.

Well, we all know how N3xt’s playbook ends. Abo oro la n so fun omoluabi, a word is enough for the wise.





Adedward:
gud morning house, this is adedward i am not here to defend my self but just to clear some point, about Mr xxxxxx complained,

Na only God sabi wetin Rotech do you, Bro probably snatched your babe way back grin

You were the only artisan that attacked him when he had an issue with the Flat roof project, you condemned him, condemned his work. Same you is here today trying to bring up another topic from his appreciation post. Unless you worked under him (he gave you the project) he has no obligation to add you to the shoutout post, you also did your own shoutout without adding rotech to it, Gbadexy made his own also without adding Rotech as the engineer. Make everybody dey calm down.

His cut and join explanations don’t make any sense, many of them will be using Sir, before they get the contract as soon they get it part payment made that Sir, immediately becomes mr with small letter. They always forget the guy that gives you job that makes you think you’re rich because he gives you 10 million contracts, can also referred you to his circle that can give you 100 million if you do as expected. Ero ooo, they try to break the glass cup to closed that opportunity just as Mr Okenwa said it’s shameful to read stories like these on this platform. Please don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of good contractors doing great jobs without any drama here.

You shouldn't have any problems with drywall constructions because they have been around for quite some time. And yes, like all materials, they wear out and need to be repaired over time. Then you can just go to handymen in San Mateo, CA They will always find a quick solution to a drywall problem, however, as well as any other problem that needs to be fixed in your home.
