Vehicle was bought n registered on 20th Feb, 2017 ( just a week). Not driven more than 100km after being bought. Vehicle is still in use and as such this will increase. Vehicle is a 2006 RAV 4 that is fitted with reverse camera and Bluetooth that are working. It is a 2 litre engine and as such is rare and very fuel efficient. Vehicle is very clean and is being used by my wife. I need to sell it so as to meet up with some personal stuff that just came up. The car was bought far higher n as such a good bargain. Please call only for inspection and if serious.

No more available for sale

How much are the doors?

I have had my famous five and secret seven investigative hat on for the past hour. I came up with

if its not you please say nay so that I can kwantinuo. I have got 45 mins before I have to go.

Nice one madam! It is people like you that can change the mentality of this country. Little by little , we will get to a point where stealing in office or out of office will no longer be praised. A point where the man that steals a mobile phone or a goat is NOT given a lengthier sentence than someone who stole billions and is praised for it. A point where people will stop shielding criminals in any guise.

Anyways, everyone has got a personal perception of life's issues and as such have different ways of dealing with them whether other people agree with it or not. It's their choice and I just have to live with it.

Btw, thanks for the contact in Agungi.

[quote author=agarawu23 post=46659596][/quote]Oga, I love this design. So very uncommon but is it that the balcony does not have railings or they are yet to fix it?

Anyway, I fear any property in Ajah because majority of the land there are under acquisition. One begins to wonder how they get CofO/ Governor's consent. Even most of the big estates in that axis is under acquisition. Then the owners will tell you "don't worry, government cannot just come and demolish these fine houses". Then I laff in Spanish as I remember Maroko and what they recently did in the mile 2 Badagry axis. Thorough investigation, independent acquisition of the coordinates and confirming from Alausa directly about these coordinates is paramount. Kai, I suffered when I was looking for land in that area some years ago.

Apologize for making it clear from onset that I'm posting an old plan which has been modified. Or do you think I modified my comment after segcymoor quoted me? Why do you guys make an issue out of nothing?

And what will the apology do? Put an ante room in a house that doesn't have one. Or give a better sleep?

Now I understand!

________
I don't have an ante and I never need one. Sorry! Visitors are either in or out not in-between. Those chairs in the pic are for visitors that made it pass my gate in case you don't know. Anything after that is the living room or dining. Abi make we show the whole house so that we can proof ante room no dey? Na wa o!

Thank you anyway for saying something about Brabus.

*sighs*

A detailed soil test would have given you a better idea of the engineering properties of the soil, and such test may cost less than 2% of actual construction cost.

This approach is not advanced form of raft, it is still a simple grade foundation (which people like to call raft here on nairaland). The truth is any foundation built on the grade in a Sandy terrain like lekky will always settled no matter what

[quote author=segcymoor post=46304564][/quote]Oga abdulwastecx and Segun,

Nice write up from both of you on the subject. Very constructive criticisms and maturity in accepting criticisms. Not everyone takes kindly to open corrections and are even willing to openly correct people.

Whether it is advanced raft foundation,a simple grade foundation, just a mere pile cap or cellular raft is not for me to say as I have no expertise in that area. However, I must state that I agree with Oga Segun on his choice of words " drastically reduce settlement". He did not say the method eliminates settlement. This system has been used by someone close to me and his 2 storey building did not settle more than 2 inches. Yes, it was marked and monitored. You will agree with me that for a building of 6 flats not to settle more than 2 inches after roofing is quite remarkable. However, note that the some other things were done prior to constructing the foundation. I must confess it is a money intensive technique but it gets the job done and gives the owner sound sleep at night.

Btw abdulwastecx, are u done with the project you were doing in the east? Are u back in lagos now? Abi u decided to return to PHC?

segcymoor:
An Ante room is a space or lobby prior to the main area in the house.in such a way that door does not lead directly outside.

So what are we saying?

Oga Segun,

I have never involved myself with anything that has to do with Brabus. But what you pointed out is very clear and his denying what is glaring is quite appalling. Sometimes, a man should apologize and if need be, clarify any thing that was misconstrued. I see no reason why he couldn't apologise then admit that it was later modified.

Hello cleric,

The same answer applies for your situation as well. Plans can change - so the most important part for ALL interviews is to be honest and completely transparent about your purpose of travel. It is best to disclose to the officer immediately that your wife plans to have a baby in the U.S. and NOT to wait until the officer asks if she is expecting.

Wow! Thanks for the the very prompt response.

Hello danowena,

If your wife is currently pregnant she will need to bring some additional documentation to the interview. Pregnant woman often undergo additional questioning at the port of entry in the U.S. They are required to show documentation from the medical center where they will be receiving treatment and proof of sufficient finances to pay for all medical and personal expenses while in the U.S. Because your wife is showing (clearly pregnant) she will need to prove to the officer during the interview that she has a plan for medical treatment in the U.S. (a doctor or hospital that she has been in contact with); she will need to show proof of finances and a provide a detailed budget for the estimated expenses that she will incur during her time in the U.S. Having all of these documents in order will help your wife not only during the visa interview but also if she is granted a visa, it will help her at the port of entry.

Hello VO,

Thank you for the wonderful response above. Coincidentally, I am in a replica situation with my wife's interview scheduled for next week in Lagos. Difference in our story is that my wife and child are planned for Texas. My challenges however are that we just learnt that airlines are reluctant to accommodate pregnant women that are more than 36 weeks gone. This has prompted us to change our plans from holidays to just having a baby. But we already submitted our DS-160 form that indicated she is planned to stay for only 3 weeks with relatives. However, with the change in plans we want to extend it to 4 months stay which is more than adequate for her to deliver. Additionally, I want to make provision for long stay accommodation rather than her staying with relatives who could start behaving very funny towards her later.
Sir, do you suggest we fill another DS-160 form to reflect the immediate changes in length of stay and intended accommodation? Or should we simply tell the interviewer of these changes during the interview?

Shwarz:
Be rest assured those roads would remain the same after the six months. I stay at iworo ajido and they have been using that road to enrich themselves for the past 10years. The executive secretary there now is as redundant and inactive as a deflated tire. But in his redundancy he has built a duplex, bought 4 cars including 2 Jeeps which he is hiding. He cant even do something about the faulty transformer in the area where he lives. The guy hasnt even become the chairman he has embezzled millions, one can only imagine what he would do if he becomes. Smh for this state. A known cultist, criminal and rusticated, disgraced LASU ex student is serving as executive secretary... Tinubu well done oooo... God is watching you all.

Similar stories in most places. Very sad.

eluquenson:
He needs to put Isheri Oshun road off ijegun road Ikotun. And the 4th Mainland bridge or else the list is not complete.
I hope this is not another avenue to loot lagos money.

The masses that live in the Ijegun /Isheri axis have been neglected for too long. Imagine how the Ijegun - Abaranje road is. It is horrible. Even the Ijegun - Jakande Estate road is not fully completed yet (A road project that took 12 yrs).

amiskurie:
Cossy ojiakor milk factory way...LOL

LOL ... It seems you are familiar with that hood and as such you must agree that the ologolo road is worse than some roads that have pictures posted here.

Hurray, Ologolo road is listed. Nice one if the promises are actually fulfilled.

It is called act of God and nothing the govt can do about this. U should stop blaming govt for everything. People living in the bay area are aware of risks of ocean surge. This does not only happen in Nigeria, remember hurricane Katrina that happened in the USA in 2005 killing thousands and destroying properties worth more than $100 billion. Also hurricane Irene in 2011 still in the USA destroying properties worth about $60 billion. These things are act of God and little can be done to prevent them. If u are living close to the ocean, u should be aware that these things are bound to happen.
Do u also blame the govt in the event of earthquake or volcanic disaster?

please you guys should be informed that the ocean protection project has reached the Jakande area and is less than 2 km from the alpha beach.

dexcira:
. Ok tnx dear

You are welcome darling!

You have a lot of options. Any vehicle going to Warri will drop you off in Sapele. However,I would rather you use God is good motors. You can use their website to get the nearest park.

I can confirm these two. My elder brother is into wood logging. I used Mahogany and Itara for my project and they were not treated. He is presently cutting these two for my brother-in-law's bungalow roofing.

mufutau55:
Thanks for your contributions, Brother. Duly noted.

FastShipping:
I know for fact that Akun and Itara are the two best out there when it comes to wood for roofing. I used Akun and Itara for my roofing. They are both heavy and need no treatment. No termite comes in contact with those two woods. They are very expensive to buy.

Akun came highly recommended so that is what I am using.

spyder880:
No, I have arrestors on both buildings, I will show closer pictures when I return to site tomorrow.

Wow, brilliant! Thanks for ur speedy responses.

spyder880:
The carpenters collected N70,000 to roof each building
The lightening collector is passed beneath the roofing sheets as you described. I hate to see wires and copper tapes dangling from the house, it seems a much higher risk to me.

Now I am certain I am being taken to the cleaners by my carpenter. He charged me 220k for a similar project here in Lagos. Perhaps location is playing a role here.

I am adopting your method of 'conduiting' the copper tapes for the Thunder arrestor. Makes a lot of sense to me. However, I observed you have only one arrestor for the two buildings or am I wrong? If not, will only one arrestor serve both?

mufutau55:
OK sir. But I never really like high roofs.. I may stay at 12ft and Max 15ft. Thank you Boss.

Hajji M.

Some carpenters will argue that if the roof is not high (thus steep), the stone coated style of roofing will leak. They also argue that if there are curves in the pattern of the house, it will be difficult to get the beauty once the roof is not high. In my opinion, those arguments are total crap.
But I am open to correction please.

Spyder880,

1. Please can you share the cost of carpentry for the roofing woodwork only?
2. Does that mean your lightening collector passed under your roof, into the block work before going into the pit? If so, is this not fire risk as against putting it on top of the roof and on the wall of the building after completion. I must confess, it spoils the aesthetics.

I think pictures will help prospective buyers in making a decision.

calculusx:
No they are not clean titles but salvage with minor damages. Due to high exchange rate, clean title cars are very very expensive to buy now.

What exactly is your budget?

Okay. They look very gud. Though I desire them but my budget is too far at 2.1
