I used Matte paint (from GBADEXY) for this room painting..

I love the fact that it is cool, can absorb light (I really don’t like the sheen of satin paint) and I think absorbs less heat.

Only downside is that I don’t think it can be cleaned.

Thanks very much for your continued patronage sir. Dealing with you is always at ease.
Matte can be wiped gently to remove stains but not as how effectively satin can be cleaned.

Thank you sir.

Was given a quote of 1,500 for 2x4.

Is this okay?

I don't know how big your mansion is, but from my roofing experience, that might be a bit too much.

It's possible to use 850 pcs of 2by4, it depends of the size of the building and design of the roof.

For the price I can offer you better price with good quality woods. You can WhatsApp my 08032339807 for better prices.

We have ABB, Schneider, Astor.

Why is your total load? To me if your total load is below 100KVA I don't think you need a transformer.

It is an akward situation Boss. The aluminium wirings are too far and the present owner where my friend is getting power from their Transformer is making too much yanga.
This is for a friend's mini estate.
So what are the price for the 3 mentioned above?
Thanks.

The 50kva 33KV/400V is a special order not something readily available in the open market or distributor. What you can easily get is 50KVA 11KV/400V.

If he can get 100KVA 33KV/400V it will be better

Special order of 50KVA
3.6m

For the 100KVA.
ABB 5.2m
Schneider 5.85m
Astor 4.8m(this not pure copper coil)
The 100KVA will give room for future development and as well serve people around him.

Hello house,

Please is it possible to use 850 pieces of 2by4 wood to roof a duplex on one plot of land.

Thanks.

Let's see the quantity of the others and one would be able to tell.

I am usually suspicious of any over 450 on a regular build. Get a quote from at least 3 from different areas and check the differences.

We got 100KVA ABB before the pandemic in my layout for N3.1m. For our experience, to get a factory copy, we had to go through the local power company. To do this, we paid "public relations" of 150k and further shenanigans.

Although this was in Warri, it might also ring true for you, so watch out.

We have the major distributor of transformer in Lagos here which is Elektrint at gbagada, bolamark in Festac, Foltechs etc, What they sell is ABB brand original. Also you can buy Schneider transformer directly from their company in Lagos

How is this even possible? eBay account with address, home number, bank account information, email address etc. Someone would now sell all these to a total stranger for how much?

This is how they wipe people’s bank account. Somebody here is still trying to understand how they went on a shopping spray with his bank account.

Guys, please be careful !

The quotation is reasonable. But there is no 2by6 or 3by4 in the quotation. Which wood will the carpenter use for the tie beam.

Note: please am available for your patronage for the woods. 08032339807.

It's a customised color, I was sent the sample but it's a slightly darker shade of ice gray.
Sure sir, it can be used outside.
