You can never mediate with just between warring parties. So with all these, you still 'hope this won't be interpreted as an admission of guilt in the future?
Someone who did a shoddy job I posted, without any convincing reason(s) to have done such?
Someone who lied that he refunded me FULLY for a basin and I provided a receipt to the contrary?
Someone who lied that I didn't pay him for wooden doors and i provided a receipt to refute him?
Someone who didn't do all the works YOU personally requested me to list and I itemised?
Someone who lied that i 'begged' four professionals here for a free architectural drawing without any proof to back up his claim?
Has he provided any evidence to back up his lies/claims?
YOU ARE TACITLY DEFENDING A CRIMINAL

PrimeQuay:
This is the sad truth, if you decide you want to pay them in bits, they might claim majority of the funds is for materials. I’m currently chasing the guy that is supposed to do my HDF doors after paying 70% advance. Everyday it’s a different story.

[/b]From my little experience, procure your materials yourself(if you can) and just pay labor as work is delivered.[b]

Don’t be afraid to enter market and price materials.

AngelicBeing:
No, l will call some omonile in Lekki Axis to detain you, compel you to buy a land, build it and you will write an undertaking to relocate PERMANENTLY from Ibadan to live in Lagos

EgunMogaji2:
Localman is on a day trip in Lekki. It’s nice to see the names from here like Ogombo, etc

I’m counting down the minutes to flee back to my village

sgtponzihater1:
so if you don't snap picture of you chopping POP, things cannot move forward?

eherbal:
when we talk,Pessimists should sway.

cash1115:
babalawo in disguise lolzz, you never see anything

Hatesin:

EgunMogaji2:

One of your esteem colleague was just queried on here for using POP mix as lipstick and now you’re using yours as “tiro” eyeliner

ChybuzzDD:
I greet you all, great people.

Please, is there any significant advantage foreign tiles have over their Nigerian counterparts?

For those who have used the made in Nigeria ones or dealing in tiles, what's the experience like?

Which category would you freely recommend?

michlins:
What I always deliver is superb.

Thank you to all of you who have always put on my table

chairmanawe:
Good evening Gurus and bosses in the house. Pls I need clarification between gypsum board and pop. Which one is better, durable and cost effective for a residential building. Your prompt response will be appreciated. Thank you

KolaShangOne:
Really?

Screeding is really cheap though.

KolaShangOne:
Yes. Yes.

If done well, I think it's okay for low budget builds.

I do not know how it will look long term though.

EgunMogaji2:
On this POP issue. I’ll never use it again and will choose ready made gypsum boards.

1) Easier for repairs. For me.

2) Cleaner to install.

3) Regimented thickness throughout.

Only caveat is to watch out for potentially tainted Chinese ones.

toyeoye:
Do you really follow up on your clients or you did not get a call from them so you think all is well?

FEGEITOK:
But they people have said something happened and it had to be redone.....

Issue is what made it fail requiring it to be redone? And whose fault that it failed? E.g., the guy whose question made me raise these issues

FEGEITOK:
This raises the question. When these guys install POP ceilings do they give guarantees like this will last 5 years before needing any maintenance at all or major maintenance?

I feel it's unfair to commit so much funds to something that looks aesthetically appealing but whose lifespan is unknown.

How then do we calculate ROI on the investment?

Of course things like water damage from a bad roof cannot be their fault, but what sort of guarantees if any are given?


Is the guarantee on paper? And will they stand by their work or is it a one off deal and the client will deal with the aftermaths of any wrongs done by the installer alone?

rotecch77:
I wonder ooo.
So I will negotiate with my.
Bricklayer to clear all cement mixture and broken block when he closed for a day job

I will negotiate with my tiler to clean cement paste on tiles with packing of broken tiles after a day work.

I will renegotiate with my plumber to clean all cement paste and silicon sealant on bathroom appliance after a day work

I will negotiate with my Caperter to pack the sawdust after a day work

Nigerian haaa

hamtabfawaz:
Good Evening Sir.

Cleaning is definitely not part of the scope of work for Pop workers. That's meant for the cleaners.

However, you can respectfully request them to clean up for you, before or after you've given the job.

Diverting poor Labour's balance after they've completed your job, just because they didn't clean up the site for you, is really not a kind thing to do sir.✓


This is just a call to attention✓.
God bless you Sir.

KolaShangOne:
Lol. There's NO way you will work with POP cement and not get stained. You should understand him.

He should have washed off before posting pictures but I guess he was trying to show he actually is Hands-on like @egunmogaji prefers.

twinskenny:
.



My guy even use as lip stick

mufutau55:
Is the Pic 2 rusted already or that is the color (brown)?
Thanks.

Hajji M.

michlins:
my clients pay me what I ask them and I deliver what they pay for.

But like my oga somehow tell me, kindly reject any job that the pay isn't commiserate

michlins:
Have you seen a beautiful gate today

rotecch77:
If so it’s diff to what we called Cameron sink here in Lagos then.
What we called Cameron sink here looks like aluminum sink designs it’s comes in different colours blue, green, black etc BUT different in material to real Aluminum

rotecch77:
Do we have 2 or more types of Nigeria normal sink ( pan) why bcs I knew what I’m talking about or May be what we called here in Lagos as pan and Cameron sink is diff to another state and a bundle of pan( sink ) here is 15pcs

Bros I completely understand what you are saying . In 2014 , somebody asisted an old man in the community to change his leaking roof with the original Cameroon zinc. That zinc is still shining till date.
