Hello house,

Please i have a challenge with my security lights.
They are 4 units of AKT 100Watt double cell LED lights.

1) When the power holding company (PHCN) decides not to hold their light which is rarely, the light come up randomly (As a result of drop in voltage).

2) Being security lights, i expect them to be up at all times.

Please what's the close alternative to this brand of light apart from Halogen?

What do you suggest can be done to solve the unsteady voltage challenge being experienced here?

Dominionng:
^^^ Please disregard, you are fine with white emulsion for your ceiling.

Thanks Dominion, i know you've got my back anytime.
Quite some three long days Bro.

skimanski:
Bros continue with your Idea of emulsion paint for your ceiling. Just use a quality one to avoid brush marks and ensure a sleek looking ceiling finish.

Will do Bros.
Thanks for the advice.

Hello Property experts!

Please i i have a question on POP finishing.

I intend painting my recently installed POP ceiling and the painter insists he must use White Satin paint.
His reason is that satin will resist dust,cobwebs and is water resistant.

My opinion is Satin is expensive and i intend using it on walls only while i intend to use white emulsion for the POP.

He's a professional yes, but not with POP ceiling.
What do you think?
Can someone assist please.

twinskenny:
i think i have a girl contact that does it.. she does interior deco

Can you share please?
But don't those interior decor people come a bit too expensive, It's only for a modest apartment.

Hello House,
Please has anybody got information on price,experts,names and measurement of this home interior item?
It's the modern type of window blind and it comes in varieties and different colors.
That's about all i know.
I want to use it for my living room but i don't know where to get it.

Oga Allcopacetic

Is your warehouse or office in UK, US or Dubai.
Im yet to notice your location stated anywhere on this thread.

Oga!
You're not on whatsapp and you're not posting prices of your wares here.
How do we get to know the prices of the ones we'd like to buy without having to ask online?

mavverick:
I have a supplier who is almost a middle man, but I dont like recommending anyone because I dont want wahala.
I would say why not visit Orile yourself, be prepared though. There are a lot of barandas.

Good idea!
Setting out tomorrow.

Please who has a contact specialized in Tiles and is based in Lagos?
I just need some specific colours and sizes for a small project.
I'll prefer one i can visit at the market and pick up my items by myself.
Don't mention nairaland Tile traders, disappointment is their watchword.

@nikkypearl
Dimensions of the rooms or I don't believe the structure can fit into a 60 X 60 plot of land.

Hello Topsy,
Please what's your take on these LED lights for security lighting in a compund.
1) Are they Energy saving in terms of PHCN?
2) Can generators conveniently power them without having to switch off appliances?
3) What's the best rating for four (4) nos in a regular home setting?
4) What alternatives would you recommend?
Looking forward to your response.

I'm not understanding!
Why our men keep kneeling upandan in the name of proposal these days.
I just can't understand.

These common flowers aren't available anymore.
I used to see them way back in the 80s when i was in primary school except for the 4th picture of course.
Some other flowers are common these days and they don't even sprout yet they look very appealing to the eyes.
I don't have pictures now or i would've uploaded some.

What plants/flowers do you recommend for beautifying the exterior surroundings of a house?
I've seen some very nice flowers here in Lagos.
I need varieties for the internal perimeter walls of my house.
I'll appreciate if you can recommend the right mix.
I've also thought of buying fruit yielding plants like orange,banana,guava,pawpaw etc.
Hybrid plants that can yield fruits fast without necessarily growing taller than the building.
Looking forward to your swift response.

I have a few season movies that im yet to see to the end wonder what's happening to them:-
1) The haves and the have nots
2) The Mistresses
3) Gotham
4) Blindspot

Who else has been watching those movies?
What's happening next?

boomssey:
@poster,do u reside in Lagos?

@boomssey
I reside in Lagos.
Any ideas?
Let's hear them.

Catalin:
Well it depends on how much you earn and how much she herself earn too. Since she is a working class married woman, the allowance shouldn't be much.
In my opinion, I think you should give her money for f[b]oodstuffs, money for the upkeep of your infant kids, then she should use her own money to care for herself since she is working[/b].

Doing all of the bolded without blinking an eyelid.
Thanks for the admonition.

RadicallyBlunt:
[b]Lol. Op if you want a good answer, you should also post your income rate as well as your wive's. [/b]Then we can tell you the proper upkeep rate.

I guess the good answer is one coming from you.
I couldn't do that even if my life depended on it.

Hello House,
I'm trying t o fix a rate for upkeep/pocket allowance for my Madam.
In the face of the recession and the unstable exchange rate she has insisted on a review and steady payment of an upkeep allowance.
Talking about the enemies within abi Lol.
Please from your experience and rate of inflation what do you suggest as the rate for a working woman if at all?
One with two infant kids and a not too demanding hubby.
Looking forward to your many criticism.

Hello Gazzuz,
I have a 2004 Camry that needs to be worked on and that's only because i've seen finer ones on the road.
What can you do to help upgrade my ride?
Can i possibly get an estimate of slight body work and painting.
Heard some paint works are considered first body this days.
Awaiting your response.

Who put that thin, fair Yoruba Nollywood Actress?
Whats her name again oh.......errrr

Is he building a mansion or planting maize?
Where are the site workers?

I have a few questions for you on this interview thing.
I hope other nairalanders can assist with useful information.

If you’ve put 11 years into working in a certain sector especially as you started at the age o f 29 which makes you 40 years old on your current job
What are the chances of growth and development?
Do you still stay put with your current employer or seek to find opportunities outside?
At age 40 which employer/employers would regard you a capable hand with the scores of young brains waiting for an opportunity to serve?
For someone my age, how can one apply for unadvertised job opportunities for experienced hires?
I’ll appreciate mature responses.

Tiling update

Oga Rotech,
What type of tiles are these ones?
What area of the house are they best for?

For those who has been asking for the final kitchen view of this project, its depict below. Its just moderate for middle class citizen.

@Ytechconst:

Not just the full view of the kitchen but the components.

(1) What makes up the structure of the cabinets?
(2) Wood type used.
(3) Counter-top design
(4) Thickness of slab before the counter-top
(5) The gas hose piping too etc.

Your kind response to the questions will be highly appreciated.

(1) I like this for the front side of the compound with a gate installed
(2) Complete block work for both sides and the back end of the building and
(3) Security wire on top of the fence round the compound

Hmmmmn! Comments are so on point.
Many different opinion though, leaves me a bit more confused.

EgunMogaji:
1) I defer to the pro builders.
2) I don't want the neighbors to see what bestiality acts that my Dobermans are doing to the thiefs.
3) I won't put a gateman house next to the fence, it makes no security sense.
4) I don't want a decorative and attractive front scene. In fact, I want the front to look like an abandoned lot. This will fit my intended recluse living as I don't want to attract attention to myself.
The picture that you showed is exactly what I will try not to look like, but I dance to a different tune than most.
Good luck.

I'll sleep over your idea, i may wake up and start dancing to thesame tune as you Sir.

Hello House,
I have a building project on a full plot of land in a developing area in Lagos.
I intend to build a fence structure around it including a gate to keep predators out Like the one in the picture attached
For security reasons too, it was suggested that the fence should not go up high so that people can see what's happening from the outside.

Please i have the following questions:-
What height is best for this type of fence?
What metal material is best for the screen(burglary) part?
What is the standard dimensions for the screen part of the fence?
What alternatives are available for the burglary part of the fence?

Further ideas will be appreciated.
Looking forward to your kind suggestions and comments.
Thank you.
