Stop if its a joke, in Naija when do they make these law?

I totally agree with you. I see the fantastic mess my friend's brothers and sisters made of his build. I do not know what I would do if that was me: making money is a finite thing, we do not have the power and means to work forever.I would raise hell if I realise I am swindled by my blood.

Mr Man if you don't have anything to say please don't add salt upon injury. Who is telling you I am making Hajji Muftau to feel bad. Hajji is my bros.way back so I am not blaming hin at all. He has introduced at least 2 other people to me (Gbadesky who is handling my paints supplies and painting and Rotech who completed my plumbing piping work) and I had no issues with them. The only reason I mentioned Hajji name is to let people know that this Sove guy is not somebody I randomly gave a job. I gave him the job based on trust Hajji have in him which he has betrayed big time.

Please if you don't know what to say don't comment bro.

On this issue of artisans misbehaving and being dishonest; I find, as someone who has built twice and is on the third build now - and whose main "ambassadors" when is comes to dealing with workmen is his aged mum and little brother- that building is not near as complicated as we make it on this page. The basics have not changed from what it is from time immemorial, what has changed is the aesthetics. I find that contrary to people's perception that workmen are not adaptable, they can indeed adapt, at least as long as their intellect permits- which I find in most cases is good enough, as long as you do not have the desire to make them do what Skimanski does.

I find also that, it is better if you can find someone local to the workmen to liaise with them as per the costing, if you are in diaspora. Just ensure their are pictorial instructions as to exactly what you want, and ensure your folks have pictures sent to you at each and every step of the build. I am sometimes at home and just listen in when artisans talk to my folks- not knowing I am the person they are actually building for. I instruct on what I want as if I am just chipping in advice. If they knew they are building for someone "in abroad" then the charges skyrocket.

This is not to disparage the policy of calling up artisans and speaking with then directly as a lot of us here do. This is me just- for all it is worth- chipping in with an alternative, which is what I have done and which (touch wood) has helped. I have studied this page silently for years and learnt a lot and it is ideas from here that helped me along the line.

I submit that if you can help not letting artisans know you or your base, it could actually work in your favour, you will save more as they will not overcharge. The caveat though is that you must have someone on ground who knows your taste and will ensure it is carried out to the letter. Ire!

Just go for an "unlimited Broadband package" that costs about 10K ($25) per Month.

Chose the "Internet Provider" wisely because some wll give you a service that has a lot of "lagging" in it.
That is not good for video transmission

I am glad this has come to the open forum... after we have tried to settle this offline. Thank you for your patience, Fash78.
I am sorry this has turned out to be a disaster for Fash78 and I. I have recommended so many artisans both on NL and Non-NL
before and I was never in this kind of swindle or absconded business. This has left me sad... Money is not easy nowadays.
I have recommended this guy Sova to more than 10 people and has done satisfactory job. I did not see this one coming.
We have been trying to locate this guy for several months now... but all to no avail. But I am still working hard on this.
I have always stood behind those that I recommended but this is the first time my name has been dragged in mud.
All I have ever done is to help the Client and the Artisans... never demanded any form of payback from anyone.
With this disappointment, no recommendation will be forthcoming from me anymore.
I have supplied all his pictures I have and all the known address but he is yet to be found, but he still pay for his crime.
This has left me perplexed.... and lesson to never trust anyone.. I will keep working on this guy.

You are absolutely correct!
Except you are armed with some Pump-Action and unlimited armo ANYONE can be robbed in their home by a determined and seasoned group of Armed Robbers.

You actually can categorise Robbers into three groups:
1.) The seasoned ones, usually hired Killers/Assassins: These ones are not here to steal your personal effects (and since your home is not a bank vault), they have just come to kill you, at home (for effects, as they could do it elsewhere!). Walls and Gates and all that shyte is ineffective against them. they would shoot your Dogs if they make as much as a whimper. Bullets is not scarce with these types and they come prepared (generator, iron cutter and all the tools).
Your only chance is if you are well-armed too but these types of robbers are not common because they go for specific jobs and the pay-out is not small change.

2.) The organised Armed robbers looking to make big money: These ones are looking for pay-dirt, jewelries, cash kept at home, even luxury vehicles. They usually act on information that you have "something valuable at home", most likely from some lose-tongue associate (Cooks, Cleaners, Gate-man, business colleagues,friends and family members).
They watch and survey your movements for sometime before trying to gain entry. Most would tail you and follow you as you drive-in or drive-out. Some would follow your guests/children to gain "easy access" or just put a gun to your head and ask you to lead them in.
They dont have unlimited armo so they dont/cant waste bullets. When they muster enough fire power, they would rather rob a bank/bullion van, than rob an individual home but we also know that some homes are 'richer' than a bank's vault!

Whether you have a high fence or short one makes no difference for them to gain entrance BUT a see-through one could assist you to raise alarm as people can observe what is going-on inside and may notice "unusual activity" thus leading to raising an alarm.
because they are 'short' on armo, they dont want a prolonged shoot-out (if police or armed-help eventually comes .....I said "armed help" because you cannot always rely on the Police to arrive on-time but in some areas, almost everyone owns at least one gun and Home owners have a coded distress-call which makes everyone to "shoot at anything that is unknown but moving"! Its a sort of community alert).
So, see-through fence has it advantages over high -fence (with the disadvantage of "lack of complete privacy). but very determined thieves of the first category are not bothered with your high fence.

3.) The 'local Robbers': These are usually 'cult groups" within that area. Boys who band together to do 'jobs' because they need money. They are opportunistic in nature. they just look for the 'weakest house' (security-wise), that can provide the highest 'reward' for their effort.
usually, they dont have more than a few/five bullets and two guns at most. These are the types that scale your fence to rob you!
These types are afraid of a fierce Dog or group of Dogs.
if your fence is too high or is electrified, these types will just avoid you and go to the next house
These types dont ever try rob certain neighbourhoods because they know they will likely not come out alive.
But they are the most prevalent because they dont need much effort to get away with it.

All-in-all, your "security" has to be viewed from the point of 'the sort of threat' you face or are likely to face.
In some areas/situation, Dogs would help raise the alarm when yo are not aware (maybe sleeping), if the robbers have not shot them or poisoned them first.
In some areas/situation, High, electrified fence and Dogs would deter most of the threats you could face but not all.
See-through fence is good in high-density areas and it contributes to "collective security" though the lack of privacy is a draw-back but in such places, that is the least of your worry.

One thing l think everyone should have, irrespective of the kind of threat you may face, is a CCTV system, a robust one...... not the package ones that are common in our environment.
Good & Sturdy Cameras, Remote monitoring, Remote alarm, Remote storage, PIRS, Motion detectors, e.t.c

The thing is when the Robbery is done and concluded, you should be sure that the perpetrators would be caught and dealt with, by the law courts or through personal vengeance.... when you have the video evidence.
I hate it when they get away, scott-free! That really annoys me a lot
It can also deter those opportunistic, "local ones" because they know they will be caught and you can even monitor your surroundings from a distance so that the "follow-enter" types are neutralised because you would have seen them "hanging around".
I hope we all remember how Funsho Williams was killed at his Osborne Road Residence, by people waiting for him in his Bedroom?

Finally, the greatest security (IMO) is from God alone.
If "your hands are clean", there is a very high chance that you would not fall prey to the opportunistic rogues and when/if you do, with certain precautions taken initially, "heavens will help those who have helped themselves".

But all this is just by the way. One would die, when one would die and there is no need to fret.

Dude, you're not seriously going to start comparing your little home project with a commercial scheme are you?

There's nothing here to champion except polished turd.

Finding the right person(Avoiding Scammers)

1. Ask for his/her phone number(s)

2. Ask for his/her social media page (twitter,facebook,skype)

3.Observe things like facebook tags,(how often is the person tagged) number of likes he/she gets after updating his/her timeline, facebook shares, twitter likes, the type of followers, how often does the person update his/her social media post or whatever.

4. Check if the person has family member as a friend at least a minimum of 5 family member as his/her friend.He/she should at least be tagged by a family member.

5. The persons phone number should be linked to a major social media account(facebook/twitter)-----search for the person using the phone number he/she provides on facebook/twitter.

. I am not aware of this vacuum of shyte though. My father's house was completed in 1989 but we have been living there even before it was completed. Never for once did we vacum our soakaways. That's almost 30yrs. Why is this though?. We never even had a single problem with it. All i know is we shyte and flush and it goes down succefully

Sir,

Methane gas when accumulated, has been shown to be explosive!
Hydrogen Sulphide on the other hand, is the major component of an "evil smelling fart" (the type you give-off after eating bans with the skin! ).

Would these two not constitute a big nuisance to the house and its ocuupant, if allowed to generate in large volumes, as depicted by these bacterial processing method?
How does one suppress them and still achieve stated objective?

EgunMogaji:
Brabus thread should still be out there somewhere. You can search for it.

PS: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to change your mind but I've studied this septic/soakaway thing in great detail to arrive at my position.

YMMV.

Not from my perspective.

Brabus showed a system before that made better sense to "me".

This xchange rate fluctuation is killing everything... Imagine, I paid N453k for Nigerchin on April 8, 2016 for 7Bedrooms duplex with two large Livingrooms and big Guard House wiring; I can't even imagine how much that will be now... You are even paying more than that for 4 bedrooms bungalow. I hope your fence is included because mine was not included and I am regretting it now. God save us o.

EgunMogaji:
Personally, I see this demonstrated system as a big hoopla.

Yes, we need better system that's ecological. This is not it.

allCopacetic:
That's interesting
Ohh yes...i recall the mention of " Total Solar " in our earlier exchange. Had no idea it was related to the ioc,
Total energy.
Installation must be world class. Must have cost an arm and a leg too.

diordaves:
Thanks the able one. We need to move away from current concept which is damaging to public health and in some cases also damaging to the ground water and foundation of the building. Channelling soakaway water to the soil with holes in the block work at foundation level or just below the foundation level as we do means in most cases the foundation is always wet,

EgunMogaji:
Okay, so both the traditional method and this demonstrated method eventually "soaks away into the earth.

The assumption, is that the system you demonstrated would have removed much shyte before the soaking away process starts?

EgunMogaji:
So what happens to the mostly liquid matter inside the 3rd tank? And what does this "flow" denote?

I ask these questions because I need to do a septic system for my garage apartment. What I was planning to do has been poopooed as "abule style" and not modern by my little Bro

For those sitting on the fence about going green. Take the Leap. As long as its done right, the benefits are .....

Recently, I stopped by at a newly built fuel station in my vicinity on my way out. while waiting in line, I casually glance at a sign post on my right and I read an inscription that instantly grabs my attention…..”Solar Service Station” I immediately read the line again to be sure I was reading right. My first impulse was to look up and assess the kind of roof they managed to mount their panels on , and see if it was true.
Lo and behold, the roof covering was made completely out of solar panels……neatly arranged, neatly secured and neatly connected. I was so impressed. A gas station,.. supplier of PMS, DPK,AGO taking the initiative to go green. Lol, What an amusing Irony. 'When those who have fossil fuel in abundant supply are opting for green energy....it tells a story
