Okay we are still thinking & still using our Nigerian metality, my Mercedes should and must be bigger than yours, must he buy one with a complete coverage of everything or only the necessary things. We have solar as big and as small as one wants and to Batteries he just needs to get the right ones (i.e LIFEPO4) , Tesla PowerWall, infact batteries are getting better and longer life span as before. Where i stay you have houses used only as Sommer residence and only powered with Solar if Alhaji permits i might post pictures.
It is a pity the Govt, is not Subsidizing this Energy source where i live you tell the Govt you are interested in Solar come and see how much Subsidies and incentives they start to give.

You really did not answer any question.
Probably I did not ask one in the first instance.

Chekitaut:
Its very easy, if you 100% sure of payment day, discuss with whoever you intend using, likwise any other that can accept your payment day. exposing for 2months is much in this present season. Making correction you will spend more.

What kind of mistakes will occur that will require any form of correction given the season we are in?

desiji:
lLike howm Kw/H are you contemplating in using, basically in this day and age there should be no doubts to using renewable energy. my pros,
a) No Noise
b) One time buy (i.e you only buy it once and if it is a quality buy 25yrs warranty )
c) No servicing except probably cleaning the panels
D) No pollution
E) if your roof is facing the optimal location Space is also saved
and if it is offgrid with enough batteries you are good to go and if you are not around the intelligent MPPT controls eeverything for you
The cons
High Purchase price.
The difference lies in the hand buying a Generator of that high capacity is a no no for me
alone the noise ,pollution and because it is a moving machine it will require regurlar servicings
and the worst of it buying diesel to fuel it. If one now calculate how much you spend on fueling and servicing why not then do d needful and go for Solar

In a house he may likely stay 3 months out of 12. What's the depletion rate of the batteries during the 9 months duration of non usage?

shelliz:
Good day all. Please i need help! I have been a silent reader here. Oga mufutau55 and all the experts in roofing nogging.
I intend roofing a block of 2 flats (4 bedrooms at the front and bedrooms at the back flat) and the carpenter gave me an estimate for the roofing wood nogging and the ceiling nogging for a king size of 20ft. (Location Benin city).

3by4 = 35 pièces (unit price, #1900)
2by4 = 270 pièces (unit price, #970)
2by3 = 60 pièces (unit price, #850)
2by2 = 560 pièces ( unit price, #600)
1 bag of nail 3inches (#8000)
1 bag of 4 inches ( #8000)
Transportation #30,000
Labour for the wood work including ceiling nogging #190,000

Total amount =#951,400.

I am not a rich person, just managing to build a home and i think only wood and ceiling nogging for almost 1 million naira is excessive. What are your thoughts please? God bless you sir as you reply.

These unit prices are they for over length or the regular 12ft and what type of wood?

ogoplus:
Good people.
Please what can go wrong if I suspend
my roofing project after the woods have been put in place.

The wood work has been completed but I don't have the funds to buy roofing sheets till July salary is paid.
This means exposing the wood work to elements of weather for roughly 60 days.

I am not entitled to salary advance and I don't want to borrow for the roofing.

Please advise.

Nothing will go wrong.

I always tell clients not to exceed 90 days and not that I encourage it.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
thanks.... i am not in town...his plan is for 3 inches claiming the foundation is high enough and with properfilling and sand compaction, he will use 3inches but in the bathrooms and kitchen it will be 5''.

Well I don't know his engineering justification towards the use of 3" as it relates to high foundation, proper sand filling and compaction.

Do you have a step down at the sections he intends doing the 5" ?

Nettuno:
The plans...

Why don't you interchange the living room- dining to the far right with the entrance-anteroom-visitors toilet.

Re-do a rough sketch see how it goes

This is the statistics of NL as of now;
2,013,882 members,......... if this number of persons can actually get involved in any legitimate MLM networking platform then one can only imagine these numbers turning out to be millionaires.


Money has no enemy but only friends no matter your age, tribe or religion.

Fast track is fast fast track, translating to getting earnings quick within the shortest given time.

But how do you earn in fast track?
It is said that in fast track, one is not required to refer anyone before he/she earns; really?
Well, simply put, if a fast track platform consists of about an initial number of 50 persons. Each of these individuals is supposed to in turn bring in 1 person each, doubling the initial number and the whole process is replicated by each new participant. It is of opinion that in a team of 50 persons at least 35 should be able to refer at least one person and those new persons coming in should replicate same.
Everyone should note that in MLM platforms, if there be no referrals then there is no earning given to individual registered members especially on non product based platforms which happens to be the new thing now.
MLM platform is an alternative source of getting income and every Nigerian should be on the look out for prospective and reliable ones to belong to.

Well, if you're not getting a passive income in an online legitimate MLM platform, reading things to increase your knowledge or enhancing your personal development skills then I guess you're just wasted and you have no reason to be using any device that surfs the web.

Nice to be back.
Thanks.

All what we are good in is just to talk and not act.

Being a muslim in Nigeria means you have an edge and leverage over others and it gets higher if you're a northerner.
The addition of arabic studies in such exam is just a way to increase their chances of passing the exams.
....muslims are united irrespective of tribe or region.


Till we so called Christians truly unite, putting behind our numerous denomination, then i say we far from telling our selves the truth.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
bill given to me is about 500k

That's fair enough.

Just make sure the thickness is not below 4".

Iruosonobrugwhe:
thanks...

Delta precisely

You can still work with that budget though much less.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
Dear learned folks, please what is the minimum thickness a 'german floor' hould have?.....location Niger delta . Note that block work and roofing have been done.
What is the average cost for 265 m2 surface?

Niger Delta is a big region.
If your build is within RS and BYS then make a budget for《650k, since you already have block walls erected completely.

Daboomb:
Not always true!

There are "layers", in any security apparachne.
We cal it the "Onion principle"...to reflect the layers of the Onion flesh, while it shields it central-core.

- Security layers actually start by just demarcating where your territory starts/ends.... using something as simple as a 'different color' of paint or even sand, on the floor (as long as it is different and clearly identifiable by others.)
- As the 'threat level' overcomes or trespasses the outermost layer and walks its way inwards, your level of response also increases commensurately

The message you are sending, for example by planting a different flower in your frontage, is to tell intruders: you are stepping on private space, pls keep off!
if they cross your flower-hedge and approach your gate, that is another "layer" and the response could be a Dog barking or a security personnel giving them the shoo-off signal or an announcement over your CCTV monitor reminding them that they are being watched and recorded and could be putting themselves in a precarious situation that can land them in jail.

Now, inside your compound, your 'privacy' is not just your unclothedness, it also includes what you can leave within the compound or expose within it, and you dont want others to be privy-to.

For example (and this is just an example), if you have a swimming pool within your compound, low walls wont do.
If you leave expensive 'Toys' within your compound, low walls wont do.
Even having your children play within the compound, if for example you just came from abroad , low walls wont do otherwise they become a target of kidnappers.

I do a little bit of 'advicing' on such subjects for a living, so l am quite familiar with it.

I understand the different layers of security. And security is a different type of privacy.

We limit security as applicable to only our living environments.


The best form of security is not to draw attention to one's self.

A better form of security is to be cautious, conscious and be at alert at every point in time.

Yemibrilliant:
Pls, can u help with the factors to be considered as i am a novice in dis. Thanks.

Please if you already have a design plan, kindly sit down with your architect/engineer/builder (visit the site with any one of them) , pen up an estimate, do some deductions - reductions, think over it, sleep over it , then get to the site to effect it.


Only the person doing the job can give you a close to precise cost since you'll be working on a budget.

We on this thread can only scrutinize the estimated cost within our professional limits.

Yemibrilliant:
pls, can the 300k conclude the foundation or surpass the foundation abit.
Thanks 4 d response.

It may and may not.
A lot of factors to consider .

But you can start something if you're anxious about it.

Just one step at a time.

Rubbiish:
@bold Good point security & safety wise...but what about privacy sir? I only use dwarf fence for front. Sides & back must be high for me.

It depends on what you mean by privacy?


The external walls of every house is enough for privacy and we all live within the walls of the main house.

Yemibrilliant:
Pls, how far can 300k go in building 2 bedroom apartment on a plot of dry land in Ifo, Ogun state. It's urgent pls.

Assumptions :

#100×1000 blocks =#100,000
2 trips shard sand @15,000 each= 30,000
3/4 granite 15 tons= 50,000
50 bags cement @ #2500= #125,000

Foundation excavation =#20,000


Total...............

Yet to include so many things

RuthlessLeader:
Here i was thinking that christians are supposed to be loving and kind people who turn the other cheek.

I understand the book well. It was written by an assortment of goat herders in a desert so even children can understand it. Jesus was a bastard who is a result of divine rape of a 14-15 year old girl. I no be muslim before you call me paedophile

Nobody asked you what religion you belonged to and probably its just conviction catching up on you.

Like I said, you can't comprehend and also not understand simple english and usage.

It just shows in your post. I hope you can spot it out to make corrections.

RuthlessLeader:
Jesus was born out of wedlock so he is a bastard.
I am learned. I even know your bible pass you.
Don't go to church again because you are surely a bastard's descendant

I can see a bastard , who is just not learned and not educated because he feels he can't use the dictionary or google to help his use of english.

I can also see a bastard who claims to know the Bible more when he does not truly understand english and its usage.

You clearly don't understand the Bible and clearly the simplest verses because you can't comprehend even the simplest forms of english usage.

Daboomb:
Very True.

Functionality Perspective!




Again, very true.

Aesthetic Perspective!

But l would not mind to 'trap' the aroma from your kitchen so that anytime you are cooking some nice stew, l will simply make Pounded yam or Akpu and stand close to oyur kitchen, swallowing my Akpu with the aroma of your stew.

What about "Safety perspective"?
Where we all know that most fires start from the kitchen and putting it where it is easily accessible to say Fire trucks and their hose (like we bury soakaway in the front of the house so that it is easily accessible to evacuation trucks .....old fashion style).

A kitchen buried deep behind the house may not be easily noticeable to neighbours in case of fire and may not be as easily accessible to fire fighters in an emergency, compared to one that is at the front.

I do not think "safety perspective" in kitchen placement is actually thought about in Nigeria per se even with home owners putting up walls as fence line. Home owners prefer to put up 20 course block wall as fence behind and sides of the house and choose to put see through or dwarf wall in front.
Given a good neighbourhood and nothing to hide by home owners, all sides of your fence is supposed to be a dwarf wall so if there be any fire incident any neighbour can be of help from any angle to assist.

RuthlessLeader:
Jesus was a bastard in case you don't know.

How do you know you are not descended from a bastard within ten generations? Doesn't that mean yo shouldn't enter god's house. Everyone on planet earth is descended from a bastard.

Before you complain ten genarations is more than one thousand years so you must be a bastard's descendant

Jesus, really?

It's either you're not a Christian

It's either you're NOT educated/learned properly and enough


Please go check the meaning of that word again via google.

Simple question:

Kindly tell me why she put blue band in hot boiling water or she intends using it to cook rice?
What was she trying to do or is it a research work?


They should try even foreign butters or even margarine that pattern and see what happens as well.

Sometimes in this country, we just don't think but react .

Daboomb:
Can you please explain, why this is so?
Isit just convention or there are specific reasons for locating it where you said?

As in advantages/disadvantages?

Me just like to learn from others, as much as possible.

I think the ideal response should be the kitchen is adjacent to the lounge/parlour/living room.
In the instance where there is a dinning then it is to it.

WHO REALLY OWNS A MAN? HIS MOTHER OR WIFE? ARGUMENT:

{Mother} - My son must obey me unless he didn't suck my breasts for 1yr.

{Wife} - He sucks mine now and sucked it for more than 5yrs and is still sucking.

(Mother} - I carried him for nine months.

{Wife} - He was only 3.5kg then, so what's the big deal? I carry him every night and he is 85kg now.

{Mother} - He passed between my legs with pains.

{Wife} - Hahaha, he only passed there once, he stays between my legs like everyday and I scream with pains each night. Please WHO OWNS A MAN?

I tell every woman, never try to rub your shoulders with your husband's mother trying to lay claim, you own him.
You were married for a purpose, stick to that and grow your home.
You try to enter competition with your husband's mum, then pray your husband is not a mommy's boy.

alimaa:
I know i am supposed to post this in the family section but i always get better response from the Romance section. I don't know whether any of you has been in a situation where an in-law comes for a short visit and finally settles in your home without any sign of leaving anytime soon.

My wife's elder sister who is single came to visit us in January but up till now she has not made any move to go and it's not as if we live in a big apartment so there is no much privacy. We got married in 2015 so our union is still young.

This kind of situation puts one in a dilemma because you just don't know what to say and you will be termed "a bad person". She lies on our matrimonial bed even in my presence.

Before now i never knew someone would feel comfortable staying with a younger sister in her matrimonial home. If it is as a result of accommodation problem or maybe you went to a distant location to do one or two things and you now spend sometime in your younger sister's home, that is understandable.

Please what advice do you have for me?

She came since January doing what?
What were you told before she came to stay?
What is your wife saying about it?
Abi you want marry the elder sister ?


You come dey ask us for advice, maybe you never even tell your own people
Do that which your mind tells you.

If na house rent matter, assist in paying a 1 year house rent for her and let her continue from there.

[quote author=Bobby95 post=68050866]Thanks. I was considering maybe heat factor since it a flat roof, wanna know if the heat from the roof can affect the z

Never heard of such happening to pop.

POP is precast and made for interior purposes. As long as its not in direct contact with the sun's ray its likely to be okay.
