Ok no problem.
44ft(13m); you can get a roll of 15m galvanized, it around 15k-16k while stainlessis in 10m/roll and 20m/roll which is 29k-30k(10m)...

Thank you.

CDG1:
I already explained what happened?
I served you well and even recommended that you buy small scale from within your area since the supply wasn't much...the said person here as said all sorts of things against me even when I told him to expect his 35k balance immediately I get refund from the trucker who tyre got bursted.
He promised to ruin my reputation and that the money isn't important to him...
So if he thinks he can determine the fate of my business, I leave it to him or if he gets the 35k now...will he take back or delete all his attack on my business?

Bros, pay the 35k balance while you pursue your refund from the trucker. Whether he pays you back or not, that's one of the risks of business - loss sometimes is inevitable.

Abolarin91:
For the razorBarb-wirethere are two types; galvanizedandstainless(anti-rust), stainless is more expensive compare to galvanized.

Thanks for your response.
Could you please give me an estimated cost for both and also the quantity I'll need to cover a length of 44ft.
Contracting you won't be feasible cos it's a small job and our locations are poles apart.

Hello everyone,
Pls I need urgent advice on what one should look out for when purchasing barbed wire for fence top.
How many meters of this wire would be enough to cover 44 ft considering it's going to be folded/rolled on the fence top?

Hello @ Abolarin91, are you still into this? Please assist.

Nice job as usual.
Can see a building with similar features of black glass and red bricks across the road.

Installing a roller gate at this compound............

Is this just workmanship for both external and external?

Yes

I think you got a good deal. I have a 4 bedroom bungalow currently being plastered, the mason charged me 340k for all that's to be plastered and dressed including parapet.

Alkanelly:
Hello Nairalanders,
I am just about to start plastering of the attached 4 unit of 2 bedroom flats. The Togolese Mason has priced #950k as labor payment to do the work. I will be the one to provide cement, sand, water and other materials needed to complete the job. The plastering include all inside plastering up and down, all outside plastering up and down, under decking plastering, window and door dressing, art work on windows, parapet dressing. Do you think his last price of 950k is fair? He started with 1.4M.

So sad indeed. Condolences to the family.

michlins:
This job comes with a sad story. The owner who ordered and customised the job couldn't live to see it built and delivered to her site.

It's just sad and sober knowing how much little the time we have in this life

The chickens have come home to roost.

A friend just told me it's still sold for 4,800 in his area .... Though in the north.

folmus:
What's the current price of cement in your area?

Please what's the current price of wichtech: 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4mm and 10mm?
Thanks.

topsy23:

Glass door for the ante room/main living room entrance.........

Mr Spyder880, pls what's the current cost of a roll of this now?

spyder880:
We have bought the electrical wires needed to wire this house, Cutix cables made in a nearby town..........

Permit me to also quote the post.
Thanks Topsy23.

topsy23:
Pls let us be careful about our wiring of our project or house. Somebody called me on Monday to inspect an apartment in IKOYI , they have electrical issues and three of their AC's got burnt in the last four month. We went there and carry out power audit. We discovered that all the socket outlets and AC switches has no earth cable . We saw earth pit chamber within the compound and also 4mm green earth cable run from earth pit to only ground floor distribution and there is no continuation to the first floor distribution board. Anytime there is surge in that area definitely it will affect one or two things in the house and this surge normally occur when there is power supply from PHCN. We plugged electric kettle to one of the socket outlets, the body of the kettle conduct electricity. The electrician only earth the distribution and not the entire house . The body of kitchen , the washing machine and some other electrical appliances are conducting

TAKE NOTE OF THE ANALYSIS BELOW

Lighting
You can use RED and BLACK cable only, reason is because there is no earth terminal in most of the light fittings they produce nowadays

SOCKET
2.5mm RED, BLACK and use 1.5mm green as the earth cable. And remember the same number of coils of cable is require for this. I have seen messages t from people requesting for 2.5mm
Red 3coils
Black 2coils
No green ...
The quantities above is wrong and incomplete
A. The quantities of RED must be the same with quantities of BLACK because they are both running from the same DB to each socket. The only area where we normally have more RED. than BLACK is when we are doing cable for lighting. The reason is that neutral doesn't connected to switch except you want to use smart switch

B. Earth cable is missing.and earth cable must have the same quantities as RED and BLACK

AC
4mm RED, BLACK and 2.5mm GREEN. And they must all have the same quantities since the are to connect to distribution boards down the AC switch .

Also the main earth cable to building always depend on the size of load cable used

If your load cable is 16mm IEE permit 10mm to serve as your earth cable.

Most time your earth cable can serve as neutral ONLY IF your neutral fails . That's why it very important and necessary to earth your building ..

If your neutral fail and there is no earth cable to serve as neutral your voltage can go as high as 300V and witt thus high voltage alot of things will get damage

Pls always insist on earth cable especially for your
- SOCKET
-AC OUTLET AND AC SWITCHES
-COOKER SOCKET

The structure is captivating, indeed.
Another display of indepth knowledge and excellent craftsmanship.
Weldone, Mr Spyder880!

@RockOfAgesAlumi, speak to this.

back2sender:
Does anyone here knows a GOOD ALUMINIUM FABRICATOR for ALUMINIUM WINDOWS that has worked for you satisfactorily in your building present or past that kept to the terms agreed without any excuses ,delays or "price variations" under dealing tactics springing up left and right after the person has collected the funds for the work. saying this because My contract term is FIXED PRICE CONTRACT to be agreed with the ALUMINIUM FABRICATOR

Honesty is key! The Nigeria today is full of characters that are questionable so this approach is part of the due diligence checks

I look forward to hearing from Nairalanders who has displayed diligence in this platform over the years such Baba Egunmogaji, Spyder, Hajji, Twinskenny,Aventure, etc etc to help this informations.
I thank you all for the time taken to go through this message and helping out. times are hard!

You are doing well. More patronage, more contracts for you.

gbadexy:
Yes sir. The airline at Toronto were of much help. They weren't on ground when my folks got there but once there the agent was able to determine she boarded the flight an hour before arrival.
I wanted to get confirmation from my folks before giving update.
Thank you very much for your concern.

That's great.
Thank God.

What's the update? Have you been able to locate her?

gbadexy:
We have all been calling them without any response.
They sent me a message on Facebook to contact all the numbers on their website that we have already been calling and I informed the handler without any response.

gbadexy:
The airline aren't picking calls. I think it's human error from her side that she couldn't locate the proper terminal somewhat.
Thanks sir

Why not try the airline's social media page if they have one.

He mentioned A&B brand of DB ... something like that, will discuss the issue of the qty/installation type with him.
Thanks a million, Engr Topsy.

topsy23:
I don't know the modality he wanted to use for the piping system. The quantity looks smaller and might not be enough for the standard electrical installation. Also confirm from him the type and make of DB he wanted to install. The price look so low.

Thanks

Hello Mr Topsy23,
This is a quote for a 4 bedroom flat ensuite, please help me check its adequacy.
Thanks for all you do.

Thank God it was discovered early and disaster averted. I noticed a similar situation with a water heater in one of the bathrooms in my current apartment, I just disconnected the heater and sealed off the socket completely... I no fit shout abeg.

Good morning ROAA,

Great job you are doing here.

You've just sown a seed, your harvest is coming in abundance. Weldone.

Person2person:
Yes, it's our usual practice to design first and I have done it for every person that contact me for jobs here and off here. At my busiest time, I may just send a free hand sketch of the intended arrangements.

Where then is the ideal position for DBs?

walexProjects:
Thanks boss.
Its actually ignorance.there are so many things that can go wrong in the kitchen.
And I also see some people placing DBs in escape stairwell (bad engineering practice)
