Horlardorjah: U can reject honorably sir, it's your choice, your brand n u decide whatever u want with it. His request wasnt personal like he wanted it for anything meanwhile U dont respond to all comments in here not cause u don't know what to say but because u don't have to say.
Silence is golden works well instead of having to shalaye. U might not have bad intention with your words but it can be interpreted to mean many things n with different tones to it. The tone of michlin response depict something but no be Pikin like me go talk am. Iree ohhhhh
As a pikin wey I be, I have been following mogaji and michilin interactions for a long time now. I can tell you that mogaji don't really like michilin and his works. And mogaji always make snide remarks about michilin works. Some people here would have made michilin that same request and he will gladly grant it,this I know. So mogaji himself knows he is not in the best position to make such requests. I see no problem in the way michilin turned the request down. And you talking about silence being golden, you should probably tell that to mogaji, he should have kept silent when the request was not granted, tell him that, not michilin. Insulting michilin is way off, and I don't even want to talk about mogaji going to exhume a post of 1925 just spite michilin.
Horlardorjah: Michlin was in haste to respond to egunmogaji bin his no 1 fan(who slapped me now). To be candid, what egun asked for was just to forestall reoccurrence of your door issue with him n not to get any detail of his job process as thought by michlin. Google can n will answer most of that perfectly than michlin will do self with tons of methods that michlin self doesn't know n that are better n standard ways Michlin, u need to be calming down bro. Those drumming for you won't be there forever n u will be left to yourself peradventure something comes up bigger which we pray will never happen forever to u or anyone. Cheers
So if you make a request for something from someone and the person rejects the request you then go about calling them silly? Even if he was in the a haste to respond does that warrant/justify the insult?
michlins: I just want to do my jobs for people who see value in what I do.
For people who think I don't deserve to work for them, I will appreciate it if you don't ask me how I do it.
And this will be the last subtle reminder cause moving forward, I may not be the gentleman.
I'm a vendor here and haven't scammed or cheated any of my clients
Keep pushing.. I remembered how they tried to and always want to make ur work look inferior. Casting and demeaning you here and there... Now they want to learn ur trade in a deceptive way.. Even with the snide remarks and insult you still keep silent... And it reminds me of the saying "silence is the best answer to a....." Just ignore..
sonnie10: Youtube is not even a credible source. There is virtually no credible knowledge one cannot find on scholarly-peer reviewed data bases if you know where to look. Even metalwork , metallurgy, fabrication and material technology.
Now, some would talk to you but they would talk to you in a subtle, uncivil manner and even make additional attempt to put you and your work down, without any prior provocations. Those are behaviors and culture that continues to persist here. For example, of what need was it to bring back the issue of the contentious doors or post link to a similar metalwork thread? If that is not a subtle aggression, then what is?
The first thing when treating a sore that is in the eyes is to keep pepper faraway. Attitude, disrespect, bulling and insinuations are all unhealthy behaviors. No matter how subtle, they are uncivil and the outcome on the affected individual is emotional distress.
This is a thread where we all come to learn, share experiences and gain one or two things. You may not know it but this thread has inspired many to invest in the future. People have avoided costly construction mistakes because of strategies they found here. These are all possible because of collective inputs from numerous contributors to the thread. The only way to guide this treasured thread is call out any incivility.
Subtly aggressive behavior is worst than an open confrontation and needs to be addressed. If a culture of respect is desired, then openness and healthy discuss must be encouraged. It would be pretentious to act like we don't know when people engage in incivility. Proactive measures must be implemented to intervene. The ways to prevent such occurrence are to create awareness, call them for what they are, and speak out.
The offenders enjoy the game and would continue if not reprimanded, especially if the target is seen as a soft target. They would perpetuate their demeaning act and end it with some silly subtle phrase like "I come in peace" when the reverse is quite obvious.
Well articulated.. If you are not clever enough you would fall for the "I come in peace"...
BrickDevo: if you can afford a very powerful extractor, one above the cooking area and one recessed in the centre of the ceiling, no aroma or smoke will ever escape into other spaces.
Is the extractor going to run with power or manual?
If this was written by my 10yo, I knew exactly what to do. I’d hand him one of my home improvement books to read until he understand basic plumbing and water system in the house.
As for 2000 liters, 30 people illustration. It’s nothing compared to me who haven’t had to do any evacuation in my house in the last 1 decade.
Guess what I have... 2 families with 10 people and a crèche with about 20 kids that will poo and require cleanup on a daily basis.
I’m not bothered because the system is in place to take care of the waste waters for as long as the earth exists Now this one I can flood here with pictures of how I did it.

On a flip side, what do you think is the essence of a soakaway in a septic tank system?
All these your long epistles have not solved anything here. We know Google and Ghana before we all came here. If don't know the solution, just Waka pass. It's better than all these ur Google this Ghana that
n3xt: Of course, I don't expect us as a lazy country to do anything about it than to condemn the solution in its entirety since it's in our DNA that everything must be done for us like an underdeveloped country that we are.
... setting up a simple filtration system now a rocket science.
Pls can you guide us how to set up a simple filtration system.
n3xt: Once again, if the installation is right there's nothing to worry about.
Ghana is not like Nigeria where we "how" good solutions to death instead of "wow-ing" it to life. They already worked a fix for the filtration system installed in the biodigester. The government supported the initiative.
Why don’t you find out how many detergents was handed over to the numerous users in Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, US, India etc where the solution has been deployed among the poorest of the poor?
