You have good taste my friend, been thinking of doing this in my build too with slatpanel

Thank you. In nearly every state house and/or legislative house around the world they use wood to make a statement.

You too have good taste.

Right now the Force Headquarters reception area/entrance is being is being renovated and given a taste of class with wood.

The beauty of wood is timeless

Grundfos and LOWARA pump are the most expensive pump and they are the best also. Durable and very strong. LOWARA cheapest pump is about 680k and their pump normally determine by flow rate and distance where it pumping to.

I didn't budget such sums brother.

But I have taken note against the future.

I went with InterDAB for now.

You know your onions.

Good afternoon my chairman.
A drum of the floor paint is N30000. I usually say 2 years with vehicle traffic but I've been opportuned to return to a house we supplied and painted over 4 years ago and it's still very ok.
Although we used water based sealant as an extra layer of protection and to give sheen to the finish.
With the sealant, the client wash it periodically.
I recommend using mop stick and mild soap to clean the floor as brush may gradually abrade the surface.
The sealant is N40000 and a drum of it is needed for every 2 to 3 drums of floor paint and it's optional but I believe it improves durability and cleanability.
Your patronage and referral is greatly appreciated sir.

Noted. We will get back to you in due course.

You people will just be confusing someone embarassed undecided

Firstly I read here that it isn't advisable to use white cement screeding for exteriors and one should use ash cement instead... Now someone is saying Ash cement cracks and white cement should be used instead..

Now the question is, which is the best for exterior?

I don't even plan on screeding the exterior cos of the kind of paint I want to use but I'm sure someone here who intends to screed will need the best advice.

I also have been wondering. Cos here we were told to only use POP cement for screeding the interior because it can not withstand the weather elements outside, but we are all of a sudden now told to do otherwise again. We need clarification from the gurus.

Plaster Of Paris (POP)

It can be applied on interior/ceiling surface.

It can't be applied on external surface as it gets dissolved in water.

White portland cement is different from white gypsum cement.
Gypsum cement used for pop casting/screeding doesn't dissolve in water.
It hardens by soaking up water like garri would. When the water is little, the particle hardens and tightens up together to solidify, adding excess water would make the molecules take the maximum amount of water and they float in the excess water and loose their cohesive force with each other and disintegrate just like when you soak garri with excess water. They don't bunch up tightly together again but exist in suspension in the water.
If you must use grey portland cement, make sure there is adequate topbond/vinko and any other P.V.A type binder so that it doesn't crack later. The cement on its own doesn't form the reaction it does with sand ( silification) with the calcium carbonate in pop emulsion paint used for screeding. It doesn't even react at all with the calcium carbonate and it's the extra binder added that is bonding them together when used to screed.
You may use ready mixed screeding putty that is basically the calcium carbonate and binder or use the pop emulsion paint with portland cement and sufficient binder.

My engineer said it should be a mixture of normal cement, little quantity of pop, and bond gum for exterior. But I don’t even trust him, he likes to hype everything to make it more expensive. He thinks my mumu button to impress me is to make things look or sound expensive.
At the end of the day, I always get the right information and tell him exactly what and how I want it done.

I didn’t see this. My engineer might be right on this one then.

I used normal cement and a lot of Top Bond.

If I wasn't in a hurry I would have gotten ready made screeding putty, just use as it, no need to mix anything.

When I asked around there was no pail of it in Abuja and I wasn't willing to wait

Chief, is your Satin better than MP Satin? Do you know for a fact? My wife wants us to use MP here in Abuja but I was telling her I know someone on NL who produces. MP is fairly popular here in Abj so she believes it should be better. Need to give her feedback so we can decide

Thanks for the offer sir.
You won't regret getting my paint. I don't know about MP standard but my satin can pass for any big brand on application.
An old client from here called me 2 weeks ago to supply paints for a flat that a tenant moved of and was telling me the paint on the building still looked very good.
https://www.nairaland.com/2818326/painting-ajangbadi-block-flats

That's seven years and counting when some that bought times 2 or 3 of the price are complaining of some issue or the other.
I've since gained more in experience and know the best suitable materials for different painting needs.
I believe you will get value for money getting my paints.

I prefer the first plan. The ground floor and first floor is pretty much okay. There should be an exit door from the madam room to the balcony. Take the bath close to the masters bath.
