Have you guys heard about Powerwall and Powerpack by Tesla Energy? I was just watching about it this evening on YouTube and was amazed by it.

This stuff is ten times steps ahead of conventional solar system currently on revolution in Nigeria.

I'm sold on this Tesla Energy.

@FastShipping, any development that won't bring quick return to the incumbent government is not welcome here Nigeria. Nigeria have to solve the problem of leadership first before talking about energy revolution. We have lot of brilliant brains here with great research work on energy but you will surprised all your efforts and brains are being stored up in the library. You need to know that the brain behind the American drone is Nigerian

Thank you for the information boss. I am just wondering what becomes of a system like this in an environment where we have less than 12 hours of power supply of electricity per day? ! I guess the power specifications may be out of what household inverters may conveniently power.

yeah, it doesnt consume power, a 1kva inverter can power it conveniently.
i still dont understand why folks refuse to leave it energized at all times or worst case hook it up with a timer switch 9pm to 6am. its principle of operation is similar to the police taser that sends a pulse of 230million volts at low currents for a fraction of a sec...that cant kill anybody, unless some1 with a bad heart condition, maybe.
the electric fence i think is energised at 1000v or so..and very low current pulse wch cant kill

I cant thank you guys enough for the help im getting off this forum...

I'm back with another question,, this time around its landscaping.

I've read much through this platform to get an idea on how to go with landscaping a project, but couldn't find any. Am beginning to think may be this is not the right place for the topic. But nonetheless, any little thing will do.


Is the architect responsible for landscaping? If not does it cost much?

How visible is it for me to design it myself?

Is there anything to put into consideration when landscaping?

Based on my experience outside Nigeria I think you require a specialist landscaper to translate your ideas into reality. One young man was pitching his biz recently but I haven't seen him around for a while.

His name is chuksjuve and here's his thread

Good luck and please share what you find.

Asbestos is cancerous, pls don't use it.

He cant buy Asbestos in the market, its not in production. It has been banned long ago. The risk is on those who work with it. The fibers if inhaled could cause lung problems including cancer.

What people call Asbestos now is actually cement fibre board. Same appearance but not the same raw material. It used to be cement+asbestos but now cement+cellulose

Durability - Asbestos (cement fibre board)
Price (affordability) - PVC
Safety - Asbestos (cement fibre board)

Let me add my own
Soundproofing (rain or noise from other rooms) - Asbestos (cement fibre board)
Installation - PVC
Water resistance - PVC (although Asbestos has very good water resistance too)
Insulation - Asbestos (cement fibre board)

Are you using Metrotiles? If yes, they have offices all over the city. Their warehouse is in Durumi 1. Their price however na die.. Their tiles are between 5,200 and 5,900 naira per square metre. Strange enough, Metro gives discount to those contractors and they encourage you to use them. So if you go through the contractors or installers, you get discount on your purchases with them. I was in their office last week.

For others, Idu Industrial Area has tonnes of Aluminium companies that sell Korean and Chinese tiles. The Korean brands abi na generics, I saw are between 2,200 and 3,800 per square metre. You may survey round and decide what you want.
While those Korean brands look good, people who have used them complain they loose their stone coating with time with and their colours fade. In fact I have a fried who told me he would change his Korean roof later when he's more comfortable.
