Spyder,
How many tons load is that tipper?
I noticed you uses sharp sand for plastering, block setting, tiles work etc, what is actually the difference between plaster sand and sharp sand?

That's a 5 truck ton there. Theres smooth plastering sand and theirs coarse sand which we usually call sharp sand. We use both of them for plastering where needed.

We are still working on the tiles in the whole flats of this house. More pictures from this site later today.

More floor tiles works being done in this site yesterday........

Kitchens, balconies.........

Oga Spyder,

Please I have a question. If one gives a messin the external plastering work and there after, the scaffolds removed; is it the same person's responsibility to fill the small holes where the bamboos passed through or it its a different (maintenance) job entirely. I am currently facing one of this argument with someone doing an external plastering work for me.

Thank you in advance for your response. @House you can contribute also.

All scaffolds off, all windows in...........

Except it was discussed from the beginning in the plasering contract, the artisan can win the argument and insist it's not his work. Part of that work will include carpenters to dismantle the bamboo, then the patching could be argued to be a different work altogether.
Its neither here nor there.

Hmm! Thank you for your response.

Of course, the carpenter will be responsible for the losing and dismantling of the bamboo... however, the messin in this case mentioned that it's a standard everywhere for them not to patch it except it's discussed as a fresh job or you use the iron type of scaffold to avoid any opening. It's strange to me though. Anyways we will try and reach an agreement and maybe other people can comment too.

We are still working here, the curfew in Enugu is easing and all shops are starting to open. We will continue this tiles work as from Monday morning. More pictures of works later.

Skirting tiles works started last week........

We've also started fitting wooden doors and keys for all the rooms and bathrooms........

Oga me these rails fine and are cost effective but why not try these. When you account the amount spent, you will be better off with these

I don't usually charge my jobs per meter, I like negotiating whole contracts, that way, the worker dont run away when he gets another work elsewhere.

How much would be ideal for a parapet dressing of one unit of 3 bedroom and two units of 1 bedroom self contain. Measuring 88m?

Electrical wiring of this house starts.......

More pictures of ongoing wiring........

Oga Spyder880, please I also noticed that some rooms in these buildings have tiles on thier walls while some doesn't. Which rooms do come with tiles on their walls and why? Is the tiling just for aesthetics? I am curious... And do continue the good work.

Also will it be that problematic removing the tiles in case there is electrical problems? And will that type of tile still be found in the market?

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with something.

The rooms we tile are only kitchens, bathrooms or wash rooms. We dont usually tile living rooms or bedrooms because of the high cost of tiles. It's usually problematic to remove tiles to do electrical or plumbing works, and those tiles may have finished in the markets. We advise the use of best quality electrical piping and cables, then top quality pipes for plumbing. This will reduce the possibility of any damage to either piping or wires.

Thank you.
