Hello gurus, please I need you guys to advice me on what to do. I am about to fix burglary for the windows and doors for the main entrance of my ongoing building project, so that it will be secure. But my builder is saying that I have to fix the window frame, and he will dress the window before fixing the burglary. Now my problem with this are

1. I don't have enough cash on me to add window frame to the burglary and main entrance doors.

2. even if I have the money, can't the person that want to fix the window frame dress the window, because if I involve my builder in dressing the window, then I will have to pay him for just that work and then pay him again when he is doing the plastering.

pls let your suggestions start rolling in

50-150k to test water quality? Why should its be individual or commercial entities business in the first place, it's should be government business to make sure sefe water get to the citizenry for consumption. All the water that go through pipes in my location is tested every 5 minutes, I repeat every 5 minute 24/7 throughout the years.

Empiree:
you see when i told my cousin about descriptions of doors i want, I only suggested quality iron doors and gate for all main entrances. I said but all inside doors should be wood. He was like "hell no. everything iron all through"

have to believe him unfortunately cus he lives there. He knows how nija looks like. Honestly i hate burglary stuff but seems we got no choice even if we fence the house. SAD

kopell:
@ hajji I disagree with your opinion in that regard, how many people can afford to test water quality @50-150k even if it's was once a year. Every government form 1976 till date as failed us as people. I hope things turns around for better Soon

How would you know if the water had issues that would take a long time to manifest symptoms.

Water quality should be tested annually for individuals and quarterly for organisations. They test for minimum of the following:

Total coliform bacteria
Nitrate/Nitrites
pH




Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the education.
Total dissolved solids (TDS).
Fluoride
Organic Carbon Contaminants (Pesticides, Industrial Pollution etc.)

In south-south it used to cost about 50k-150k and can be done by many laboratories including medical labs, petroleum analysis labs etc. Normally it preceeds borehole treatment but most folks just treat without testing.

On your own you can actually readup on likely/general profile of the water in your area online or the nearby university library as there are a lot of project topics by geology students at bsc and msc levels about borehole quality and groundwater contamination

DIY kits do exist for self testing but require basic knowledge.

@Mufutau55, @Spyder880, @EgunMogaji, @rotecch77, @Gbadexy.etc. Please help with this dilemma. My project has been plastered inside and outside, and the internal & external doors, casement windows, burglary proof, floor tiles, & plumbing have all been installed. For the next stage of work, which one should I do first, Surface wiring or Painting? I'm confused because I have some people who say painting should be done first, then surface wiring, and I have people who have advised me otherwise. Thanks.

gbadexy:

painting should be the last work.
It would cover up all traces of work and give it pristine look.

@worldambassador.
the next stage as you explained the project is surface wiring, painting is the last thing then general cleaning and fumigation.


Thanks

While painting I think the socket outlets and switches should be removed and putback later on to prevent paint stains

Is it for duration planning or costing sake and what is the quality required. Left unsupervised, a bricklayer can do 150-200 bricks/day (at the cost of quality). They also count fragmented bricks as whole numbers. At same quality, different bricklayers should have different work-rate which is acceptable. They are also sometimes limited by the number of coaches done on a section/day to prevent buckling under its own weight.

Hello house,

Please i have a challenge with my security lights.
They are 4 units of AKT 100Watt double cell LED lights.

1) When the power holding company (PHCN) decides not to hold their light which is rarely, the light come up randomly (As a result of drop in voltage).

2) Being security lights, i expect them to be up at all times.

Please what's the close alternative to this brand of light apart from Halogen?

What do you suggest can be done to solve the unsteady voltage challenge being experienced here?

Good evening house. I got a quote of N900k for labour just to plaster the interior of my building at Sango Ota ( 4 x 3 bedroom flats). Is this reasonable or excessive? Thank you

gbadexy:

The painter could use masking tape to cover up the sockets and switches while painting.
