You can used “Turkish made rugged pvc toilet door

Still your one and only “rotecch77”

michlins:
this is why I usually tell people to use iron doors but they will tell you it's not good for internal doors. Eight years down the line, the only thing you will do on iron doors is to repaint it and you have yourself a brand new door.

Buildings are meant to last and not act as liability. Here's a sample of door that I delivered to oga Spyder yesterday. It was paid for by another Nairalander

EgunMogaji2:
Unfortunately the type/brand of China doors that you used was the culprit.

There are very good interior doors on here. Try a search on this section with the word door.

On my personal residence I used Chinese doors and they’re working beautifully. For my rental units I’ll be using wooden doors. Try not to use local metal doors on the interior.

Good luck on your choice.

Please I need help. This is the estimate my roofer gave for roofing a 4 bedroom duplex sqm of main building is 185sqm. This is minus wood just roofing sheet alone is this ok I feel it is too much.

DadR:
Oga n3xt, thanks for the feedback.

Please what kind of structure can be built on such land size that one can get approval for.

It's just a one-family house.

Thank you.

Please how possible is this? My POP man measured about 150m² as the area for POP while the tiler measured 400m². Apart from 5 bathrooms and laundry, and also kitchen that will have their floors and walls fully tiled, every other area covered by POP will also have their floors tiled.

I was just thinking there's so much gap between the square meters presented by the two artisans.

Kindly provide enlightenment.

My Naija o.... devicing anyway to loot... looting your grass. And he will act like he was doing you a favor.

Hajji.

mufutau55:
Yes o. Oyinbo can do all that, not good for Naija houses o. Much so in Europe and not much in America here.

On the matter of lawn.. I have an empty plot of 40x120ft beside my last project.. so intended to use this area for my green area. I contacted a person to help me plant grass there, I was billed N1.5m for the job. I changed my mind quickly and planted some hybrid coconut trees and sour-sop trees in the area... I will complete the area by growing vegetables or corns there instead of paying N1.5m for grass.

mufutau55:
My Oga you are right o. On top of that the guy want me to sign a monthly maintenance of N50k.
I was thinking of spending 200-300k on the grass since I already levelled the ground and added soil.
I was already making plan of buying a good Honda Lawn mover for about $350 from here so my Mallam can get work to do once in a while. But N1.5m is not for me o.
And John Deerie lawn mower vehicle is out of question o.

EgunMogaji2:
Baba, someone posted that one shouldn't create a solution for a none existing problem

EgunMogaji2:
I agree.

The only reason I bought was that my crew was in the middle of pouring the blinding. I should have had a reserve of cement but I was caught pants down.

Once the foundation is done then I will pause and watch the market. I can afford to.

Gloriouspa:
You can use the hand cut machine to cut it because mower machine won't cut it well because they do not grow evenly.

Gloriouspa:
There are few glasses here and the common name for them are Portharcourt grass, water grass and carpet grass. The most rugged among them is the Portharcourt one.

The common name for it here is Portharcourt. It is rugged and can withstand harsh weather and if not we'll watered during the day season it will survive till next raining season.

Abolarin91:
You are right sir, thanks for your input. Indeed, it add value...

megacontrol:
You are very correct.
As much as you can, folks should not fall for the artificial scarcity. Plan and wait if you can and it doesn't impact your project schedule, otherwise we indirectly contribute to the pressure of demand vs supply.

Lafarge, which is even not as readily available as Dangote on a good day, still delivered to us @ N2,500 yesterday. We will adjust our schedule to wait for the next truck delivery whenever they are willing to sell at same price.

We have decided to pace our project and will not fall for the trap to buy cement @ 2700 or 3k unless there is an official price increase from manufacturer (which is not the case just yet).

The rains are here and projects will slow down. Demand will reduce and lead to a supply glut, thereby keeping price the same... all things being equal.

Cheers.

Badgers14:
Every one is different... I just don't like it..
For me, it is nothing about maintenance, I just don't like it all , it gives me chills... somepeople do have that creeping on their walls from ground to roof covering everything except the windows ... wheew!! It gives me goose bumps as am typing it sef...

No thank you !!

Badgers14:
It is not about maintenance....

People like what they like... there's nothing wrong with that. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

As it happens, my eyes doesn't seem to behold the beauty of carpet grass.

rmx:
Exactly . because of the marine board , actually told the engineer to go ahead if they could get 300/400 thru his own source on Saturday to do the casting over the weekend , no luck

Positive they will get supply tomorrow or next

SurveyorGeo:
Yes sir, it is better done because the c of o was not done in your name

Abolarin91:
To the bolded part; I 100% cocor!
Last week, two person called me from nairaland and they never make enquiry from me on nairaland. "Hello, I got your contact on nairaland,..." Mr. Akin and Arc. Fola

Focusmind:
The guy seems to have disappeared. I don't see his thread again. You would love that type of architecture when modified to the present like the Windsor Castle in England. There is a hotel being built in PH with that type of architecture. Gothic cathedral design with gigantic corinthian pillars. May be only royals and men of Noble birth will be visiting the hotel. It looks so magnificent and imposing.

Badgers14:
I really admire folks that have carpet grass around their house...bravo!!
.but my gosh that carpet grass around the house gives me goose bumps, I can't stand them..

SurveyorGeo:
The Land is not too small, with the help of a good architect you can still achieve your dream, but you will have to prepare to take care of the LASBCA officials, because of the statutory setbacks.

Focusmind:
This is a typical Victorian castle. Very common in England/Ireland and other parts of Europe. It is not a rocket science. The issue will be on the landscaping as landscape architecture is a scarce profession in Nigeria. But I think if well motivated, Brabus or Skimanski may make it happen. The carpet grass on the walls are easily found here as I planted it near my fence wall and they are circulating already. Though It does take time to cover the whole area.

erico2k2:
wow

erico2k2:
I bought 2600 in PH saturday, howmuch is it at ur end?

adanny01:
It might not have been a low voltage issue, it might be a frequency issue. Inverters are sensitive.

rmx:
Not been on this thread for sometime , how u dey

Sadly realized cement prices were up on Friday just as we wanted to cast

Holding up both my projects esp ring road , hopeful of delivery of 900/1200 bags tomorrow at 2700

Fhemmmy:
