My bosses in the house took those words already from my mouth before I could reply you sir, they now use cellous and cement but we just still call it asbestos, that is why we still have Nigerite, like oga registerin pointed out



This what we must condemn or educate whoever we see doing this mentioned in quote above, destroying the old ones, by act of crushing it and using it as rubble's on the road, some resident will be happy, some will even be thanking the person that did it, not knowing, that person doing such a thing unknowingly to him or herself as well is polluting and exposing that environment to cancer, and this act should be totally condemn and stop, this an eyes openers, kudos to the bosses above me for sharing this @stopthecap

Actually, it requires a huge amount of exposure, and inhalation of a great amount of asbestos before it could be cancerous.
The amount of asbestos released by the rubble is negligent.
Just same way we all inhale carbon monoxide daily,but in a negligible amount.

sonnie10:

Do you know what chemical that was? Just like the tobacco companies have not closed down because of cancer, the soft drinks companies have not closed down because of diabetes, so it’s not surprising that asbestos is still being produced. Forget the big names behind it.

The truth is that particles from asbestos inherently cause COPD and they could also lead to cancer
The only reason people still use is because they last longer when used for outdoor kitchen area and bakery that is prone to heavy smoke and humid.

The chemical itself is the asbestos... They no longer use asbestos as the binding element, they now use cement. But it is still called asbestos based on the old name.

Try your Airtel SIM on another 4G phone.

I've been using the sim on another 4g phone and it's fast.
I just used another apn and it improved a little.

lilachiever:



Please note that only the SIM 1 slot on A7S is 4G enabled

My airtel sim is in sim 1 slot..
I have changed the apn settings as someone suggested, yet nothing.

Good morning guys,
Pls who has a solution to this my predicament....
While browsing/WhatsApping with mtn on umidigi A7s it browses really fast. But as soon as I switch to airtel it hangs forever. It will takes up to 3mins before msg is delivered.
Pls who has a solution....

Speaking from a Practical point of View, how come all those Bungalow Houses (and even some Storey buildings) built almost 100years ago and without a German Floor (Well-built, as l mentioned) are still standing firm, while some recent ones with German Floors have collapsed?

When did the concept of German floor even enter Nigeria's building technology?
Mind you, l am not saying German Floor is bad or unnecessary at all, but l am saying that you can "build successfully" without it, under certain conditions. The evidence is there for all to see,
Nigerians generally dont explore options, once something is in Vogue, everybody joins the bandwagon and take it as gospel truth.

If you want to condemn a Post, you better do so with your points laid out, not just a one-liner as if you are some PhD Civil Engineer.
It reeks of arrogance.

You made a valid point.. It's a face we can not deny, they evidence is everywhere.

Do both at the same time if available resource can accommodate it.

OK, thanks

[/b]Wiring before pop….[b] but if you can do both at the same time to avoid cable theft


We can handle the wiring for you….

I recommend bolu1986 for the pop but do your due findings biko

@the bolded is it main wiring or the piping?

She stopped picking my calls because I didn't buy her a phone when she requested to replace her stolen phone.
She said I must buy her a phone before she picks my call...
I was like wow! Is this the person I am about to marry? Thanks goodness
I erased her off my mind, upgraded the side chick to main chick....
3 weeks later she notice say water don pass garri....
Come see begging and pleading....
Her sisters were calling too...
But then, I saw her as my spit, I can't take it back....
She used every trick to win me back but man's far gone....
Out of desperation she got married to an old man, old enough to be her father....
The man looks like he's going to die any time soon.... May be he has money...

Forex....

I have a friend in ur shoes...
He said his children will not experience such...
What did he do.....
He bought a massive land in one of the villages in his state and he built a mansion there...
He doesn't live in his state though....
During the festive seasons he takes his kids home and let them mingle freely with the villagers, while shuttling to his dad's house who lives in the villacity.

now if you want to produce woods with comparable quality, the price will be close to the ₦7,000. Now how many Nigerians will gladly pay that amount for wood when there are cheaper options. What stops the person from going for steel trusts instead. Bearing in mind that for a business to survive, you need patronage

There are a million and one applications of wood apart from roofing.

sonnie10:

Those woods are pricey. For example the 2x 4 (inches ) x 16 (feet) is $12 with tax. That is about #7000. Add shipping and custom wahala (woods are contraband ) total landing cost might be up to #12k a piece. The same wood full length is sold for #900- #1000 in Nigeria.

Therefore the question of whether high end clients would buy a locally produced high end wood is answered. And it is yes, they will buy, especially if the quality is comparable even if it sold for much more.

Other questions are, what problem does it really solve and is there a better affordable alternative like iron struts?

Nice analysis

michlins:
the people who can afford this will gladly pay for the imported woods instead of patronizing the local market.

But what do I know? You can change the market status quo

I don't think so... You generalised "the people"
As far as Nigeria is concerned there is no market that won't sell. Just focus on your target customers...

michlins:
how many people that will make it a worthwhile venture?

While starting a business, look at the purchasing power of your customers

Products are usually targeted at a particular set of customers... It's not for everyone.

EgunMogaji2:


I’m running the numbers to see if I can setup a sawmill. Not my area of expertise though I’m a woodworker.

My concern is if Nigerians will pay extra to get grade lumber.

Sure, a lot of Nigerians will pay extra for grade lumber. I am sure of that.

saydfact:


Good Morning.
Thanks for following.

YES... apart from M&E conduit pipes, you have to sort the following
* Wooden Door Subframes
* Window subframes (if you're using sliding) - casement can always be done later
* I expect that you have completed your ceiling hangers already when you did the roofing.

GOODLUCK

Thanks chief,
All you mentioned is already in place.

Good day boss..
Pls I have question...
What are the necessary things to br put in place before starting plastering...
Electrical and mech piping has been done...
Is there any other thing? Thanks

n3xt:


It’s cool but you have to handle the installation with care and it must be well planned. You also need to carefully chose the area to install it.

I won’t recommend this inside a residential building because it’s highly flammable and could shrink/melt under relatively high-temperature.

It’s cool if you’re using it for outdoor projects and under slabs in open areas.

Thanks sir, settled

n3xt:


They’re polystyrene finished with satin paint

Oh! Looks better in white paint...
What's your evaluation about it since you have on hands experience about it?

n3xt:


Just 2 days ago, I got a call from LafargeHolcim (one of the largest producer of cement in Africa). They wanted a storey building completely designed and built with Lightgauge steel.

My last 2 projects had Fibre cement Cladding that reduced the need for cement.

Just yesterday, I found and decided to experiment polystyrene ceilings. The prices are very interesting and friends. It’s lightweight and also very easy to use.

I was able to pull an over 300sqm suspended ceiling within 72 hours because I wasn’t doing the conventional pop installation.

I’ve shared picture of a gate column built by the Chinese in 2014. It has no single concrete and they were all tiled with 60 x 120 tiles.
The structure is still standing today without any sign of visible defect.

The world is constantly evolving. We need to move with time.

Pic 1-4 | Polystyrene Ceiling

Good evening sir
What material is the 1st and 2nd pic?
Doesn't really look like polystyrene

hamtabfawaz:


Have shared some info regarding this before.
Would try & find the link to that, when I do, would surely share tagging you and @Bobkezel

Pls do tag me sir. Waiting

Mutmainneen:
ANNOUNCEMENT: If anyone here bought the Umidigi A7S and you are still using the follow come charger to charge it, you are doing yourself and the phone a huge disservice.
A word is enough....

Why....

EgunMogaji2:


If it’s for your personal residence I wouldn’t bother using it.

Opt for simple POP without a complex design instead to save materials.

Good luck on your project.

OK sir, thank you.

aliyumobi:


I use it for my project in the Village, when I am about to use it, I asked this question but I didn't get any answer. Here in Abuja people are beginning to accept becouse is cheaper than POP. I wish I knew about it before now. Please Google it to be convinced. I am surprised with all the gurus in this platform but nobody is talking about it.

Wow, how has it been so far? Will you recommend it for someone?

abuiltech:


Although I haven't seen where it was used as a ceiling, but my concern, is just its flammability, while adopting this materials you have to take necessary precautions, be very conscious, don't use it in the kitchen area, get all your fire protection system intact and teach everyone how to use them,

The guy said its produced and modified specifically for building and the modification entails being fire resistant among others.

topsy23:


You mean polystyrene as attached in picture 1 and 2 ?

I have not seen where they use it as ceiling. The last we used is through the beams for our penetration pipes as shown in the picture 3.

The structural engineer go against using our normal pipes by cutting the reinforcement

Something similar but specially produced for building purposes.

Good evening guys,
Is anyone here using or have used polystyrene ceiling?
Somebody is trying to convince me on it..
Who has had an experience with it, pls throw more light for me... Thanks.

hamtabfawaz:



@Kolashangne Yeah, Truly said.



@Bobkezel Only if you have the time and energy to oversee/monitor from start to finish.

My advice: Just treat them well & you will never have to worry.

Noted, thanks
