Picture Updates: Windows

blank: I decided to modify my earlier post. I have seen that you have learned quite a lot from your past mistakes and have taken all the negative criticism in your stride. I am happy that the ahonohai issue has finally been laid to rest.

That being said, I like the quality and look of the furniture. Really nice. Apart from all the issues that came up, I think you did a really good job on the house.

Thank you.

The Luxury flat is fully plastered. Finishes to begin soooooooon!

Trenching in utilities

- GateHouse Waste and Water Pipe.
- Perimeter Drain Pipe installation (keeping the water off the foundation)

I've just realised that it is 4 days since my last blog post. This is not because there has been no progress, rather that it has been such a busy week and I have been off site. I'll be resuming to site with the roof carpenters tomorrow.

olubuffett: This is a beautiful peace of work! I go come steal your house o, brabus

Thanks.

mufutau55: ^^^^^
Wow! Very Lovely, Oga Brabus.

Thank you.

Proudly Naija for life!!! I'd advice NIDs and NINs to get busy fixing their lives

Hajji, thanks. Now, I'm gonna get cobblestone for the driveway and also get pigments for a stained finished floor. Thats another weekend project.

Fence/Gate Pillars light installation ongoing

Hopefully when we are done, the finished driveway will look exactly like this

Concreting the Driveway


We are pouring concrete on the 5m wide driveway

Nigeria?

walemglobal: Hi, Can you reply to my emails and test messages. Really need to hear from you asap for a decision making.

Sir, my sincere apologies for the delayed response. I've just responded to your mail.

Thank you.

UPDATE: I'll attend to your request tomorrow. Please kindly disregard the message above, I actually responded to another client's email. Thank you.

Well, my star boy turned 2 today and we had his birthday party at the Funfactory, Bodija - IB. All the kids we invited LOVED that place. They had a great time and really, that's the only thing that matters to me.

Happy Birthday Tim

In the neighbourhood...

Just pictures...

mufutau55: Is a picture supposed to be attached to this message? I can't see a thing.. says the Blindman.

I guess it's a technical issues at Nairaland backend and I expect the admin to have send us an email about the issues. A simple "We've had a lot of technical problems over the past 2 days and some forum capabilities have been out of commission. Please bear with us." message would have put the issue to rest and there wouldn't have been any need to kill our computers before realizing the problem is with the board/forum.

Anyway, this is Nigeria!

Counting Joys

I can't believe my baby brother (Tim) is 2 already!

I've always think I've birthed a baby boy, but I've just discovered that I've given the world another man. That tiny, precious baby boy born about 2 years ago is now being raised to become someone's first date, first kiss, first love and more importantly, the change the world had been waiting for.

Join me in wishing our young little man, a Happy Birthday in advance!

Roofing Woods delivered this evening...

75 x 100mm

50 x 100mm

The Chateau as captured on my Nokia 206

Quick Update: The first batch of roofing woods have arrived the site and I'll be going back to the site to take stock of the delivery.

Preparation of the parapet beam reinforcement and shuttering continues...

As it is, the progress of this stage may appear to be slow as a lot of preparation are needed in order to realise the design of the complex parapet beam reinforcement structure, before it can be poured.

All things been equal, the parapet will be poured this saturday.

UPDATE:

First batch of the wood for the roofing of the Chateau will be arriving at the site later this evening.
