@kolashangone

Thnx for your reply, how do I go about doing a parapet? Kindly break it down please.

Cheers

Thanks guys, I shall contact him as recommended.

@mufutau55

I am planning on using long span aluminum roofing. Do you have an idea on its costs and wood work?

Cheers

Thanks again guys, I sincerely do appreciate your inputs. Per the roofing! Whats the ideal way to go on abouting roofing since most of you reckon I cant have a parapet because of the missing pillars.

Ideas and suggestions will be adequately received/worked on.

Thanks guys, God bless us all.

Thanks everyone for your comments and criticism. I'm suprised as to how builders at my base in OZ build houses without the aforementioned pillars. I have driven past heaps of up coming suburbs where most houses are built with planks and still goes to have stonedcoated roofings without lintels. The front layers are then covered up with bricks at such. These houses last more than 50 years or even more.

My opinion is alot has been invested into this project. Opinion on how I can add reinforcement to strong pillars will be highly appreciated. What can be done to have a better home in future?

Thanks everyone.

@KolaShanOneThe holes in the house don't mean a thing. From finding it will be filled properly when it's been plastered. That is the least of my worries at the moment. Can you explain more on the parapet please? I know I am going to do the wood work and then on to the roofing with aluminium roofing sheets. Thanks again for your input.

More of the lintel photos, I could see a bit of mistake from one of the windows when they sent me the video of the project, I have asked that they correct it but they said its only when they plaster the building will be when to correct the little error, so far I reckon its a above average job done so far. When I arrive to inspect the site for the next phase will be to stay on site to let all corrections be done ASAP. Feel free my ogas to add your inputs too, it goes a long way. Thanks everyone.

More photos. As soon as it gets to lintel within the week I shall upload more photos

Thanks guys

I had to reattach photos as they came out as pdf instead of jpg.

Hi E-family,

I have recently began pushing up the project with the bits of funds I was able to gather in the last couple of weeks, I am open to suggestions to my oga's in the house, thanks everyone.

I have no idea! I am not physically there to oversee the project. My dad's Arch from his work did the plan. Any inputs? @sleeknick?

Hi E-Family,

I have recently began a four bedroom all ensuite bungalow. I am attaching photo's and the house plan for it. I will need your kind advise on the right things to do in order to have a perfect project. Thanks god bless us all. Amen

Heavy D -- real name Dwight Arrington Myers -- was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today , and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.

We've learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .

When help arrived, we're told Heavy D was conscious and speaking -- and was transported to a nearby hospital.

He died a short time later.

Cops are investigating the death -- and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play. Police are currently at the home.

This is a truly tragic loss. Seems like a little piece of my childhood is gone. RIP Heavy D

@ Siena ,I doubt the story was made up, not in this era of litigation. I also doubt any TV website that operates within the United States would publish anything like this, if it weren't true. I'm sure you know how powerful J P Morgan is? They'd have sued any TV station, that posted anything about them that had a whiff of libel to it!

Just because you've had good experiences with your bank, doesn't mean everyone else has.

Seconded, What went well you might turn out to be a bad experience in my own case.

AUBURN, Wash. - Buying his own home was a big accomplishment for construction worker, Ikenna Njoku, of Auburn. He’s only 28 years old.
“I was really excited. For the first time, I actually got to buy a lawn mower, mow my lawn and everything,” said Njoku.

Njoku qualified for the first time home buyer rebate on his tax return. 

"It was really important, I had a vehicle I was looking on paying off," said. Njoku. And it wasn’t just any vehicle. “It was a 2001 Infinity I-30, silver…just like my favorite car, “he said.

Njoku signed up to have the rebate deposited directly into his Chase Bank account. But when the IRS rebate arrived, there was a problem.  Chase had closed Njoku’s account because of overdrawn checks in the past. The bank deducted $600 to cover what he owed them and mailed him a cashier’s check for the difference--$8,463.21.

But when Njoku showed up at the Chase branch near his house intending to cash the check, he was in for a nasty surprise.

The check had Njoku’s name and address on it and was issued by JP Morgan Chase. But the Chase Customer Banker who handles large checks at the Auburn branch was immediately suspicious.

“I was embarrassed,” Njoku said. “She asked me what I did for a living. Asked me where I got the check from, looked me up and down—like ‘you just bought a house in Auburn, really?’ She didn’t believe that,” he said.

The Customer Banker said the check looked fake, so she took it, along with Njoku’s driver license and credit card, and called Bank Support.   

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Njoku said he got impatient and told Chase he was leaving to do an important errand. By the time he got back, the bank was closed. Njoku said he called customer service and asked them what he should do. He says they told him to go back to the bank the next day to get his money.

But when Njoku arrived, it wasn’t the money that was waiting for him.

“They just threw me in jail; they called the police and said this guy has a fraudulent check,” Njoku said.

Auburn police arrested him for forgery - a felony crime.

“I was like - you’re making a mistake, you’re making a mistake, don’t take me to jail, I got work tomorrow. I can’t afford to miss work,” he said.

Njoku was taken to jail on June 24, 2010, which was a Thursday. The next day, Chase Special Investigations, realized it was a mistake. The check was legitimate. The Investigator called Auburn Police and left a message with the detective handling the case, but it was her day off. So Njoku stayed in jail for the entire weekend. Finally, on Monday, he was released.

Auburn Police Commander Dave Colglazier said Chase could have done a lot more to let them know they’d locked up an innocent man.

“We do have a main line that comes into our front office,” he said. “There are ways to reach someone 24/7 at a police department.”

For Njoku, going to jail for five days meant a lot more than just losing his freedom. He said the entire time he was “just stressed out…trying to figure out what was going on with my vehicle.  I love my vehicle,” he said.

Njoku’s car had been towed from the bank parking lot and his check seized as evidence.

“I had to wait a couple of weeks,” he said, “and my car got sold, auctioned off."

Njoku says he didn’t have the money to pay the impound fees and fines to get his car back before it was sold.  He said he also lost his job because he didn’t show up for work while he was in jail.

After all of that, Njoku said he never heard a word from Chase.

“They haven’t even sent me a letter or apologized,” he said. “It’s been a year we’ve been trying to contact these guys.”

Finally, A Seattle attorney offered to help. Last week, Felix Luna sent Chase a scathing letter. Read the attorneys' letter to Chase

“It’s one thing to make a mistake,” Luna said. “It’s one thing to make multiple errors of judgment like Chase has made and then, once you realize that your error has caused such harm to somebody else, to just ignore it for a year. I think he deserved better. I think all their customers do.”

Like Njoku, KING 5 had a difficult time getting answers from Chase. A week after first contacting them, they sent a two line e-mail.

"We received the letter and are reviewing the situation.  We'll be reaching out to the customer," wrote Darcy Donoahoe-Wilmot, from Chase Media Relations.

But on Thursday, Chase issued an apology.

Njoku said that even after he got out of jail, he said was confused and upset. "For a month, two months, I was just down and depressed," he said.

He’s still happy he bought his house, but sad that his experience with his own bank was so humiliating.

“They treated me like a criminal,” he said.

Here's the link to confirm the story, http://www.king5.com/news/125105599.html , It shows that there are a lot of hard working Nigerians abroad who strive hard to make it, personally I feel he was cheated due to the fact that he was black and a Nigerian coupled with the terrible things Nigerian fraudsters has done to America in recent times, it is really annoying.

OK, I have been able to unlock the phone and it worked, However it still shows on the screen activation required, Is there a way I can get that clean from the screen?

Is the PRD same as MEP : PRD : 23888-002?

Man I tried it and I simply can't get it man, Is there any other way you could help?

Where can i find the MEP code? please reply ASAP.

@ Shakur,

Nate Dogg was born in Long Beach, California. He was the friend and partner in the rap game with rappers Snoop Dogg, Warren G, RBX, Daz Dillinger and was the cousin of Butch Cassidy and Lil' ½ Dead. He began singing as a child in the New Hope Baptist Church in Long Beach and Life Line Baptist Church in Clarksdale, Mississippi where his father (Daniel Lee Hale) was pastor. At the age of 16 he dropped out of high school in Long Beach, California and left home to join the United States Marine Corps,[1] serving for three years. In 1991 Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg,[2] and their friend Warren G, formed a rap trio called 213. 213 recorded their first demo in the back of the famed V.I.P record store in Long Beach, the demo was later heard by Dr. Dre at a house party and he was instantly hooked on the soulful voice of Nate


On December 19, 2007, he suffered a stroke,[10] according to a coordinator for his recently formed gospel choir, Innate Praise.[10] Reports had circulated that Nate Dogg had been admitted to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona, California after suffering a heart attack. Erica Beckwith, however, confirmed to MTV News that Nate Dogg was released on December 26 after being treated for a stroke and is currently in a medical-rehab facility to assist him in his recovery. On January 18, 2008, it was officially reported that the stroke had rendered the left side of his body paralyzed. Doctors believe there will be a full recovery, and his voice was not affected. In September 2008, Nate suffered a second stroke and today is still recovering in a long term care facility.[11] Warren G later confirmed that Nate did in fact suffer two strokes and is currently undergoing physical therapy to get back to how he was. It was unclear at the time if he would be able to continue his singing career.[12]
Nate Dogg died March 15, 2011 in Long Beach, CA as confirmed by The Press Telegram

Personal I will miss his songs, This guy was a real talent that was underrated, The prodigal Son NATE DOGG is gone, RIP to a true Rap Legend, Area Code, 213,I Like That, 21 questions collabo's, We'll miss you, God bless your soul

Visafone 3G broadband is the best for me, I reside in Lagos and I've been using it for 3 years, It is super fast

Nairaland has lost a rare gem, I never met in person, but I am big fan, the way you reply to different post here tells it all that you were going to be a great man, but death came too quickly to take you away, R.I.P Olubusayo Awomolo, may God gives your family and loved ones on here the fortitude to bear this great loss, lessons learnt, to him we came from and to him we shall return to, sleep well brother.

First of all, I am not replying to this post because i want to make money, I drive a 98 Honda Accord 4 cyclinder, and I had problems with my gear box last september, I was told differe types of stories until i met a mechanic around my school environs, Unilag, Akoka i mean, the mechanic in question helped me with the gearbox and we bough another one from Oyingbo, My car has been working fine ever since, the total cost that i spend was about 65-70k, ever since my car has been working perfectly, the only thing i noticed is that my D4 light doesn't stay on when the car is on. but i bet you, he has changed gears for few of my folks and their car is in top condition, if you feel like you want to trust me, feel free to call me on 08055042940, my name is Jide, I will be willing to help, don't let anyone rip you off, most times its not even the gear that gives the fault, have a great day folks.

Dear Nairalanders,

I have been on this forum for quite some months now and i have always been a reading and i don't really post because i enjoy various postings from other landers and i feel here is a great avenue for me to ask some certain questions regarding my career advancement.

I have presently completed my National Diploma from Yaba College of Technology, I did Computer Science and i managed to scale through with a Pass, I have completed my I.T and i really don't want to go back to Yabatech.

However my dad and I sat down and we had a lenghty chat, I have made up my mind to study Philosophy, Hence i purchased the Unilag Foundation form (Diploma II), I am seeking good and helpful advise from this forum, i know they're lot of intellectuals and intelligent people on this forum, I want you guys to please give me a brotherly and sisterly advise, Really i must confess i don't like mathematics, thats why i am not opting for Computer Science at Unilag again.

I just want a general advise on the course Philosophy, What chances do i stand if i complete this course, and where possibly can i take up employment, this has been bothering me a lot, i just want a piece of advise on this forum and i know all your advise will be used wisely and i really want to achieve as the first male child of the family, I really want to impress my parents as well as my younger siblings. I wouldn't mind doing any other good courses that a science student can do without doing Mathematics, Please advise me.

All good advise will be highly appreciated, Thanks, Blessing Plenty
