Beautiful design.. the owner of this project is thinking outside the box

I am curious tho, how much would this project cost?

EgunMogaji2:
Thank you Sir.

This was the alternate.

Hmm... not bad either. This is really good craftsmanship..nothing earth shattering there but some local fabricators will throw a fit when you present this job to them.

I love articulate designs, nothing too complicated, just simple and effective. Hopefully our local fabricators will work towards becoming creative to be a real craftsman! Not just relaxing on their past laurels, the old status quo.

Why not live a little?

EgunMogaji2:
Getting this replicated off of Pinterest.

We need powdercoaters in Ibadan.

Good choice, the job looks neat as well.

What I like about this is it doesn't have that "jail" like feel to it.

FFK is now a voice of reason ? Praises PDP until they lose power, then blasts PDP and joins APC.

He is just looking for attention... just throw few crumbs his way and he will sing like a bird.

QSFemi:
Good morning.

It depends on the type of tiles you're buying.

If you're buying 400mm x 400mm porcelain tiles, you will need approximately 9 cartons.

How many pieces is in a carton?

Pls how many tyres of a truck has a 20ton and a 30ton of granite?

I don't want to be cheated by my Engr buying a 20ton instead of a 30ton granite

Please help my guy here, na beg I dey beg

My guy is now counting the tires of a truck to make sure he is not cheated

I thought the post was funny... but this tells us how low we have sunk as humans.. too greedy.. people cheat their fellow mankind from a painter of garri to 30 ton granite..

@Badgers14
I read it on a bulletin, about two days ago, that Goggle just implemented that process to locate with Long/Lat Coordinates, it will never have worked before the recent implementation.

You will have to update your Goggle Maps, to be able to use it but be aware that such Updates may be region-specific at times, as to how quickly it is implemented.
Na Africa dey Update last.

Thanks

I normally use this tool to calculate my tiling projects and tick them off with what my tiler and seller calculate:

https://www.calculator.net/tile-calculator.html

Thanks.. this was helpful.

When a tiler says, 25 x60 tile..

I assume they meant length 25 x width 60.. is this correct?

Also what unit are the measurements , are they in mm or m. Like 25mm x 60mm or ?

SurveyorGeo:
Convert the coordinates to WGS 84, then you can use it on Google map. or send me message on WhatsApp, I will help you convert it and show you how to do it. 08069018449

Thanks

Loan for this, loan for that... don't they generate revenue in this country??

Anyone know how to look up the location of a plot of land online using the longitude and latitude coordinate on the survey plan.

I have tried it on Google but it wouldn't work ..

Not sure if the coordinates on the survey plan was real

Shame that people are only worried about how to benefit from a sad situation.

If dollar adds a penny.. everyone increases their prices by 50% ..

Everyone trying to reap the other off , not worried about how to make things easier and cheaper for everyone... shame on them

Genital disappearance na wah oo.

I traveled to Lagos last week and a detour was made through the Ode Remo/Ipara axis.

I’m just happy to see both modern and colonial architecture in the hinterland.

There’s so much beauty in Nigeria. Why can’t we have leaders who are progressive? I can easily see tourism from at least America if security and sanity was guaranteed.

Every politician is focused on oyel, oil, oyel, oil plus corruption, kwaruption, corruption.

whats your take on this cantilever?
considering the span and beams...

The architect or the oga Engineer involved in this should be handed over to SARS

But maybe that's what the client requested, who knows

michlins:
I promise to improve on what I do. This is just a testimony that I can do what I said I can do and at the price I said I can do it. I await your patronage

I have never doubted your abilities. Don't prove me wrong!!

After we Endsars finish I might have something then.

Michilins come an buy us drinks

It always pays to be honest in whatever we do.

Don't rest on your laurels.

I agree with him. I said this on the first day of this protest, Buhari whether the real Buhari or the fake Buhari should address the nation..

He should have been the one to announce that SARS have been dissolved..

This issue would not have escalated to this level.. ineptitude to the highest order

But he doesn't care anyways, his kids fly government jet upandan, have secret service protection. Goes to Dubai and Germany for medical treatment

This does more harm than good!

topsy23:
Imagine buying cable from market and get to site seeing this

This is just heartless!

I don't know what I will do but I heard someone saying, in this hard economy if someone did this to him, to the tower off their head, I don't know what that means.

What happened to the CCTV camera at Lekki tollgate??

n3xt:
Lagos!!!

There’s someone on this platform that’s making a loss of over N100m because govt has marked 2 of his buildings for demolition.

Before you ask if he didn’t secure govt approval? He and many other affected persons did but that didn’t stop the demolition. In fact, a building belonging to a commissioner in one of the south east state was demolished. They went to court; got injunction to stop the demolition but like LASG is denying Lekki massacre right now, the same way they denied involvement at first.

I’ll encourage most people in diasporas to be careful of Lagos lands even estates. This project is inside one of the popular estate in Lagos.
The news was carried by lindaikeji and instablog but at the end “Nothing happened.”

I was privileged to see the man who led the demolition in Alausa and he boasted and told the affected persons “Nothing will happen.”

Unless you’re buying government scheme in Lagos, anything can happen despite your approvals.

The fourth mainland bridge project will affect a lot of old houses in Badore/Langbasa area and again “Nothing will happen.”

Pic: Conversation with one of the people affected by the 4th Mainland bridge realignment. He already put up a 3 floor hotel on the land.

This is what gets me sometimes in Nigeria. Government will approve a building plan, then turn around and demolish the structure as an illegal structure even though they were the ones that approved it.

Very shameful indeed... all this approval etc.. they just care about the money not necessarily about the plan itself.. money money money.

How many states, cities,, LGA have a masterplan? A blueprint?

In a sane environment when approvals are granted , one of the things they look at is making sure the intended build conforms with the masterplan for the area.

Granted someone could still approach the city, county to rezone the area (adjust the blueprint) to accommodate their build.. the city will schedule a town hall / public hearing to give people chance to voice their opinions, then city and county will approve or disapprove as the case might be.

But in 9jiria, Government will approve, then few years later knock it down as an illegal structure? Thats heartless. In a sane environment, this will be a big beautiful lawsuit, a walk in the park lawsuit with a big beautiful jury verdict.

Good afternoon everyone,

please I need advice from all parents and Educators and parents on Nairanland. today I just realized my 3years old son cant even read Letters A to F talk less of A to Z but can read Figure 1 to 10, I am seriously worried.

I don't stay at home except for weekends as I am working outside my state, but due to the curfew I find my way back home yesterday so I was able to discover this problem in the early hours of today.

I know the mother is trying cos I have seen different live videos where she was teaching him and working on his assignment, most times I pity the boy so much because of the beating from his mum alone makes me sick but I can't really complain since I know is for his own good and I know how stressful it is for a mother with 2 kids to manage her time and all that....

I called his teacher immediately and she told me my son will be going to Nursery class when the present term is over due to his age, sadly she didn't say things I expect to hear from her so I told her I will visit the school once the curfew is over, I need explanation, is private school that bad these days ? my son can't even write 2 and 3

I have bought Video CD, bought many play book materials containing letters and figures displayed boldly, I bought counting and so on when he was 2 years so i expect a better result by now.

pls sir and ma, I need help on how to guide this boy to learn better, what should I do and how should I go about it.

Note: any time I am home, I always go through his books, assignments and read his school rhymes for him.

pls Help

concerned Daddy

Not to be a bearer of bad news to you and it is sad Nigerian medical system is very poor that the doctors couldn't run tests for autism.

Hang in there, keep doing what you are doing... try to understand your little man's struggle, it is not easy but try. Keep doing what you are doing... let him watch those educational videos you bought for him but be aware exposing him to longer screen time.

I would have said a speech therapist might help but I don't know how accessible they are around you.

Cheers man! Stay strong! Some kids do learn at different pace than others but they eventually pick up. It is okay for parents to expect their kids to phenomenal but sometimes things takes a little while to fall in place.

Another thing to reason will be , during the pregnancy, was the wife involved in an accident, did your son bump his head while still young? Just taking a holistic approach on the issue.

Cheers!

I hope a better Nigeria emerges from all this...

Politicians have really failed the country.. it was very disheartening to see warehouses of covid 19 palliative stashed somewhere while the citizens are hungry

But dude that was pictured wearing Oba's shoe tho

Hello house.
Pls I have a little challenge, the engineer did something like a step here,
We will have to climb up and down from the dining to the kitchen and from the dining to the rooms lobby. I told him to make everything flat after I discovered I won't like that idea.
We are already done with the dpc. Pls what is the cost effective way to do the filling to make all levels flat, thanks

Here we go again with client - Contractor miscommunication..

This issue have been litigated here several times, I could bet we have encountered similar issues with people we know outside of nairaland.

Please I beg everyone, client please do your research, ask questions and tell your Contractors exactly what you want.

Contractors please listen to your client, make suggestions if you may but at the end of the day, oga na master!! This is the clients project not yours.

As for the cost effective way to remedy this? O boy, I would think the cost effective way will be to leave it alone as it is now and maybe invest in some lighting around the "step" to lighting the place up at night to prevent an accident.

I dislike this myself, in my first build engineer did the same thing.

I was like, hian.., wetin dey occur? are you ... are you normal?? Thats was not the plan...

after the brawl I let it be simply because it was a commercial house and although I dislike it, some people might like it.. someone have been living in that unit for years now and no complaints.. so at the end, the situation did sort itself out..

gandkiss:
Dear masters, elders, experts, gurus, fathers and professionals in this field,

Kindly advise your humble boy, I am about install burglar proof in my five bedroom bungalow and I want to leave one window without burglar proof incase an emergency exit is needed in a situation of fire outbreak.

I am thinking of exempting the master bedroom bathroom window.

Please give me more insight.
.
Thank you.

I would have "slightly" encouraged you if your building was a duplex and the master bedroom is upstairs.

But with our current climate at the moment and the building being a bungalow... this might be asking for potential "trouble".

A better plan would be working with your welder to fabricate openable burglar-proof.. there were some ideas shared here few pages back.

I still have a dream that one day, we all will be able to enjoy our homes burglary proof free..

Man, I don't like staying in my own house... it makes me feel trapped. I have never been in jail before, staying in my house makes me feel like I am in prison or in a house arrest , metal door, burglary proofs everywhere

Could you imagine living in a house like this (picture..below)....

Enjoying your environment, soaking up all that views etc... those natural lights , sitting out , telling your kids, grandkids , niece, nephews, cousins about your war stories how this all started, reminiscing some glory days...

.. that will be nice..

Good evening my NL guys.

I just met a guy last month ending, we exchanged numbers and started chatting. He asked me out.. I really enjoyed chatting with him, just him alone. So few days after, he invited me to his house. I declined but I noticed that he stopped chatting with me.

Few days after, he asked about my genotype without even greeting me. I counter questioned him and he attacked me, claiming that he is not happy with me. I replied that 'I don't care'.
The next thing I received was rains of insults. Saying that I insulted him. I admitted and we settled it.

For the short times I've known him, I could see the kind of qualities I want in a man. But the problem he has and that he attested to is verbal abuse...

I noticed that anytime he invites me to his house and I declined, it always piss him off and he stops talking to me.
I decided not to visit him because it's not safe for me.

He argues over little things on chat, he talks to me like I'm a baby ( he is 33 and I'm 22). he is domineering... I'm just confused on the decision to date him considering all these flaws. I am suspicious of him being violent.
thanks

You are seeing the signs and you are still deeply in the relationship.. you are seeing the tell tell no no signs and you still hell bent on this guy...

You are seeing the redflags and no nah nah, you are still thinking twice?

What should we tell you really

When will people learn??

By the way #Endsars.
