Thanks for continuing to share this project.
I know it's not a N50million project in Lekki but just know that this Americana is following you attentively.

You are not the only one Boss. Thanks OP.

I'm just shocked at the high price of 40 foot containers in Nigeria.

This "Nigeriana" is on the ride and watching closely too . I bought a very bad plot of land (in terms of soil texture) in Gbagada that has defied economic logic for any commercial residential purposes so I am fast forwarding my dream of owning a hospitality/sports bar and this container stuff may just be it.

Patiently waiting sir. Weldone.

Looking good. ..

Very nice.... I see a lot of non-traditional building materials: iron floor joists, plywood, and is that straight wood for the ceiling? I can't find anything longer that 1 foot that's straight.

EgunMogaji:


So basically you're going to insulate the wall.

Very nice.

In a previous discussion some mouth breathers were in a hullabaloo that we don't need insulation in Nigeria.

Excellent.

Tee hee hee... I remember that convo . I looked into using insulation for my solar hostel project, but for now the cost is a bit too much. I'm considering using vines and plants to keep direct sunlight off the walls...

Alternatively, you could build two walls (separated by an air gap) for the sides that get the most sunlight, like here:

Interesting thread

I don't understand your building... It has changed from container to a nice building

Can this building be moved in whole, that is after breaking off the foundation? I am asking just in case landlord decides to use his land for other purposes or even council problem.

Pls include cost
Someone like me is likely interested

Farnsworth:
it will be too hot, why not build everything from wood.

My friend did you not read the section where the OP talked about how he will insulate the structure from external heat? Somebody is showing us something he has been doing for long and you wey never even hold hammer to knock nail is busy issuing instruction...

Thanks for your obtuse response... my statement was not an instruction but a question.

lovely

well it seems i've seen someone that will take care of my restaurant next year...I need to keep in touch with you...

This is beautiful! Keenly following.....

God. This is amazing. *following*

Please I am interested in the total cost, cos the woods looks exotic and expensive and how durable are they?

nice but I have some reservations, coffee shop in a hot environment like Nigeria or Is it going to be cold coffee only?

now i believe my own quote. you are your only limitation. you can be whatever you set your heart, mind to achieve, wow, this thread is an eye opener for me who is the best at procrastination, following this thread till the end and learning a lot from peoples comment.
