Bolu1986, this is for you and other POP guys here pls. I’m currently working on a hollow clay brick slab and I want to plan ahead for the POP installation. I intend to pass galvanized binding wire through the slab Formwork at 400 c/c The other option is to install threaded bolts in the slab. I’ve seen the way some contractor did the installation and I’m not comfortable with it. In one site, I notice they drive concrete nails into the slab and hook their pop to it. In another site (picture attached), I notice they break the hollow bricks and put nails tied with binding wire into the bricks to provide anchor for the pop ceiling Which option will you prefer? Or how would you have loved to provide good support for your POP ceiling under hollow clay brick slab? Thanks in anticipation of a reply. ========== Valuable contributions from other pop contractors, homeowners and seasoned experts are welcome.

QuestionMan016: In the first place, the guy doesn't have a laptop to for any architectural design. I know him very well but the idiot doesn't know. The guy looks somehow skinny like those criminals under ojuelegba bridge. He will collect your money and block your contact. When I wanted to deal with him, I just had to withdraw because of his condition. So pathetic. Many people are suffering in this country. Make God help us. There are many of them (scammers) on this thread. 4 Likes |

Phone and data is a leveler of people online. I wonder at the audacity of service providers and vendors talking careless online and sealing their possibility of getting jobs. Wisdom is truly profitable. Make person no dey take hand do himself and blame innocent village people. Going by recent activities here, I can't help but marvel at various types of people God created. 6 Likes |

Nigerians and their poor low tear him down mentality. The next you are trying to bring down is better than most of y’all in real life. You are honest doesn’t make you better than the others |

gbadexy: Amen bro! The last I’ll ever do is to pray for the downfall of other people. No matter what they do! It’s that confidence that keeps me going and growing. That’s why you hardly see me abuse or react negatively towards trolls. But there’s always a simple prayer (in yoruba) I do say all the time “Ko ri fun mi, bi ero okan mi si e. Ko ri fun e, bi ero okan re si mi.” May it be unto me according to my wishes/heart desires for you. May it be unto you according to your wishes/heart desires for me. Amen 🙏 ========= Whatever you feed grows

Till moment, I have never for once begged to be on any project In my life and I will never. If anyone have an evidence that I begged for a job here or elsewhere, he/she should please bring it forward. Projects find me where I’m sitting sipping my kunu That’s where God is bigger than mankind. Trust in the Lord with all your hearts and lean not on your own “I’ll destroy him” understanding. 3 Likes |

Good evening everyone, please I have few questions..... Please, are hollow blocks good for fencing? Cos I've seen some fence made with hollow blocks cut into 2 When it comes to cost, Is it better to buy blocks or better to mould blocks for fence? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by MeineMutter: 10:00pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
n3xt: I know some shops in Isale Eko where you can get it. If you prefer to import them, I can get them for you at lower cost while you arrange to pay for shipment. Job site saws like Hiti too are rugged. You can consider buying original Bosch (blue color, not green). I didn’t see Mitre saw among your display. You need one for crosscuts and bevels because I doubt if those old Flex and Total circular saws can bevel or score. Mafell and Festool would be too expensive, I would have said you invest in them. They will serve you for decades. With the level your work is going, precision, efficiency, and higher productivity are key. Your image is most essential. Good you don’t display these tools for clients to see. All the best bro. |

MeineMutter: How much can you get me a Mitre saw and a table saw? If you were to import instead of buying locally. I am thinking Bosch Mitre saw but what do you recommend? I have nearly everything else except those two. |

FEGEITOK:It depends on the brand you want and the diameter of the saw and the motor (whether brushed or brushless). Brushless is better but may be expensive. Also, do you want new or Tokunbo? I can send you two sites where you can check for either new or used ones. Then you can decide which one you want and from their, we will take it further. Bosch is good in Africa but it’s not a great brand in Europe when it comes to power tools. But for the level of job you do, it could still serve you. I could see you are handling higher projects, from your display. You need to leave job sites faster so that you can go to other projects. If you want to know more about how powerful and useful many power tools are before you buy, always watch this YouTuber man called PROJECT FARM. He has nearly 3million subscribers and he tests a lot of power tools for people to see whether they are fit for purpose or not or whether they are worth the price. Watching his tests would help you make informed decisions on so many work tools you want to buy. I love to see your (and other people’s companies) grow into household name for better. Just be transparent enough and invest in tools. Working on site would be like child’s play and you would win most contracts. |

MeineMutter: The only thing I don’t have are the things I really don’t need. I have a mitre saw (though dated now as it always sit down most times) and those Malaysian circular saws can do nice crosscuts as well. They’re not as bad as projected though. I think investing in a good blade really helped those toys come out with smooth cutting with outstanding accuracy. Total is really doing great. I pick their rotary hammer drill recently and it performed excellently well. I was just eating concrete with finesse like shortbread. It’s nice having you around bro! Thanks for sharing 🙏 ============ On Mafell and Festool, I’d read them up and see if I can add them to my tool bank.

n3xt: You are welcome bro. It’s when you try great tools that you would know the ones you have haven’t been good enough. Mafell and Festool are the industry leader but they are super expensive - both their battery-powered and electric. |

MeineMutter: We will check it out! I have one cordless circular saw with Ni-CD that I’m planning to convert to lithium soon. It’s a game changer on multi-floor projects. You know how it feels when you work with cordless tools. If I have my way, I want to go cordless and brushless 💯 |

n3xt: Another business unit can even spin-off from the ones you currently have, due to having great tool. You can start making solid doors, cabinets, floors, cornice (coving), etc. for your clients. I hope you see my tools soon and how I juggle accounting/finance with woodworking. 1 Like |

n3xt: There are more ambitious guys out there than Mukaila. Your destiny is in your hands. Not in his hands. Be ambitious too and set higher targets for yourself and your business. This is the right time to build your business empire. You would be able to negotiate an all-on-one contract and you would win big. |

Can the admin of this group save unsuspecting newbies of the scourge called n3xt? He's obviously an unrepentant scammer who's set in his ways but at least save others from falling victims to his gimmicks. The internet is awash with his scamming histories and it high time the admin/moderator did something about this situation. bolu1986: 10 Likes |
