I'll advise you do the fence and gate and write boldly on different parts of the fence the usual warning "THIS PROPERTY IS NOT FOR SALE, BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS". Then you immediately commence the process of perfecting the land docs if you have not done so already.

Best wishes.

You can differentiate them by the thickness of the tail ...
Na your type dey cause some teachers dey think twice before dem enter your class knowing fully well that he/she will be coming to face brain-racking questions....lol

sonnie10:
How do you differentiate the male from the female?

I understand the challenge but is it not better you reach out to the client for an amicable settlement rather than you sticking your head in the sand? Please don't let this matter degenerate beyond this, let it be resolved.

n3xt:
Unfortunately you can’t be an umpire in your own game.

How much refund are we looking and what exactly constitute the figures? That’s exactly what I’m still trying to wrap my head around in the past weeks.

Is it how I’m expected to refund 280 naira per block when I sold blocks at 200 naira per blocks throughout the lifetime of the project even when others are paying 250 naira and above?

Or how I’m expected to pay N3,800 per bag of cement when I have a fixed price contract sum pegged at N3,000 per bag of cement?

Or how I’m expected to value a 10sqm security house at almost the same amount as a 400sqm fence with 600mm raft, 22 columns and block wall?

This is far bigger than me hence the reason for my long silence on this matter.

@ mufutau55 and AngelicBeing:
I could sense your feelings of nostalgia. Zaria hasn't changed much save for some few developments especially roads and new buildings. ABU, Aviation school, NMS, Army Depot are still there. Railways, still there but better be described as moribund unlike in your days when it was the major means of transportation. NTC (Nigerian Tobacco Company) was changed to BATC (British American Tobacco Company) and later closed down, what goes on there is rice milling operations. Your Cadbury and John Holt situated at Chikaji industrial estate are now used as warehouses for grains.
It's not a bad idea if you can still pay the city a visit at least once more in your life time just to relive old memories.

AngelicBeing:
Amen and Amen

You are doing a great job which is typical of you. The concern is just about birds and other animals, what about dust? Any mitigant?

spyder880:
Buying some wire gauze today. We will use this to cover the air vents to prevent birds and other animals from finding it's way into the house.

I bought two different sizes, the one with a wider opening at the outside, the one with a finer opening will be placed on the inside.

Talking about Versace, check out these images I saw somewhere...

hamtabfawaz:
One of our client right here, some designs in his build looks Versace especially his gate, including the POP we did for him.

@ N3xt: You are among the few I admire on this forum because you're always ready to help to the best of your ability on any issue thrown up. But, I must say without mincing words that I was disappointed when you started replying to every of your client's comments. What happened to "customer is always right" statement? Your client might be wrong or right in all his claims (I didn't really take my time to read all the claims and counter-claims), but I expect you to take the matter offline, attempt resolving it and come online to seek further assistance (in a case where your offline attempt isn't yielding the desired results) from forumites in pacifying the client. All you resorted to was to argue and even back it up with private chats between you and the client. I always view a situation where private chats are made public as the battle line being drawn by the individuals involved.
We are all still humans with emotions anyway and you must have resorted to that without really giving it a deep thought, I'm glad you realized and retraced your step by tendering apologies which am hoping the client would accept.
@ Somehow, please do all you can to resolve this amicably, it's your fund and it won't be okay for you to lose a dime while trying to fulfill your dream. You made a comment a while back and it made me realize why you have been really calm in this situation - you seem like someone that has the mind of Christ. Please take the steps of love and forgiveness that won't make you offend God in this situation and I pray that all you have lost will be replenished back to you in multiple proportions.

This is for all the lovers of perfect finishing...

You are doing well sir.

spyder880:
Installation starts.......

I hope it's still Michlins that's handling this construction?

spyder880:
Installation starts.......

It's coming out nicely. Thumbs up.

EgunMogaji2:
POP Ongoing.

Vented kitchen ke? It's like you have not experienced some stubborn local cooking condiments that even a strong windstorm in a specific direction cannot prevent the aroma from drifting the opposite direction.

EgunMogaji2:
Yah all keep mentioning “our aroma”. Don’t yah all have vented kitchens?

N3XT, where is you?

Rain gutter installer needed in Mowe. If you are here, drop your quotation for 69meters.

Thanks for this, it's quite timely. A lot of homeowners hardly think along this direction. Funny enough, a simple smoke/fire alarm on Jumia isn't expensive.

Homeowner, you will do well to instal smoke/carbon monoxide detector and alarm at home. A fire extinguisher for home use will not go amiss. And place lighters out of the reach of children. This is not rocket science.

This was 2014..... Just wondering if it had happened in the present day Nigeria...hmmm. May God help us all.

spyder880:
Work related risks along the road.

This is a very true story, happened to me around 2014.

I bumped into this thread on biodigester installation and I remembered there was a debate on the topic sometimes last week or so. You can follow the thread in case you are interested...

https://www.nairaland.com/6653415/construction-biodigester-system-soakaway-ijebu

I got this door for the owner of this structure.

spyder880:
We will have pillars, block pillars.

I guess it's those blocks you crossed that will form the block pillars, are you going to fill them with concrete?

Is there no need for pillars at intervals along the length of the fence?

spyder880:
Fencing updates.......

@ Bakin3, this is your call.

dapotemi:
Pls house, have been reading about this bio-Digester soakaway... Pls what are the pros and cons? Would you recommend it against the conventional soakaway? I am yet to see any of you talk about it or even try it, or recommend it for your client. What do you all think about it? Can you recommend it? @next @Egunmogaji @spyder etc

Bros na wa for you o, can't you just read and pass by any thread without pasting something on it? We all know about your unbeatable bio digester from the general discussion building forum, but you still carry the advert follow men come backyard.

Bakin3:
Call for your Bio Digester(Modern Soakaway) construction . It's an improved technology in the treatment and management of human waste and wastewater. This system effectively takes away all challenges that are associated with the conventional form of waste management.

Once you have it in place,

✔you no longer call trucks to come evacuate human waste,
✔ No odour
✔it doesn't attract flies or crokroaches,
✔just a small space is needed for it,
✔it's eco-friendly
✔and doesn't contaminate the groundwater

I remember there was a lengthy discussion on these sometimes this year:

Good evening. Work on the rails increased in pace and I intend to double the efforts by tomorrow.

No handles and keys?

michlins:

Stacked up and ready to fly

Weldone Michlins. Great speed, great job.
I think Spyder880 should just partner with you to head the Metal works section of his company.

michlins:
