This is a thread to document our activities while turning this roofed house to a home. The details of the project are as follows;

Project: Completion of all finish works in an 8 bedroom duplex
Client: A Nairalander
Contractor: Tigerkenn Homes Ltd
Location: Close to Owerri, Imo state
Duration: 10 weeks

Following

My work her is not only to complete this house, but also to introduce some radical changes into the architectural design. I have some things to change in the appearance of this house. We have agreed to remove this second staircase at the side of the house,

There will be some beautiful POP ceiling designs from this porch and in all rooms in this house.

The front and the back of this house, cleared for more compound works to start.

We hit the ground running. ........ we commenced the removal of the second stairs soon after we arrived. My carpenters removing the roof. ......

Breaking the walls of the staircase, today. ......

We need to also coat these back columns, needs to be uniform with the front columns. .........

I don't like the arrangement where there is no kitchen balcony or back entrance. I plan to break this section carefully and create a back entrance.

Scaffolding works set to commence tomorrow as I also bought the wood materials today. More materials to be bought tomorrow, more workers arriving, it's gonna be a full house here for the next 2 months.

spyder congrats. How many stairs lead to the upper floor. I know around here we tend to put security àbove every other thing else. But if you consider safety as well, you will agree that 2 stairs can come useful in times of hazards ...eg. fire, especially in a place where all the windows are already barricaded with buglar proofs. Just my humble thoughts

Thank you Sir, I also thought of safety, but there just too many exit points from every side of this house. We have 3 doors on the ground floor and I am going to add a 4th. On the upper floors there will now be 3 exit points leading to the balcony from different sides, aside the central staircase.

I bought this roll of hose to use in the A/C conduit system. This will hide into the wall, the connection wire, copper tubes and water hose between the indoor unit and outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Well done

And so, we quickly "deleted" the stairs. ........

Scaffolding works for plastering, dressing, window hoods etc

Plumbing materials coming in......... all workers busy as am still in Onitsha buying cables for electrical wiring, borehole work loading, plumbing and A/C conduit works ongoing. Speed is good but I will still increase the pace.

Oga Spyder, generally, are building materials less expensive in Onitsha as opposed to Owerri seeing as you mentioned going to Onitsha to buy stuff.

Seriously following oga spyder,also need d the transformation

Yes they are cheaper in Onitsha, but not by a huge margin except you are buying from a direct importer.

We are going for Cutix cables here, 100% Nigerian made, superior quality.

Loading to the car, then back to site

Removing and cutting up all the palm trees, so we can start the fencing.........

As we complete the scaffolds, lets remove the PVC that was used on the outer ceiling....... we plan to replace this with aluminium.
