I am grateful for everything..... I can not force things to happen

Damn

MufasaLion:
Excuse me?

Ahahahah lol...... I hail oooo

MufasaLion:
It's their lousy lifestyle that gives them away. I always tell people that you can't be living an extreme luxury lifestyle in an environment that most people can't afford basic things. You'd stand out and that will make you vulnerable to being arrested, killed or harm.

With #124m liquid cash, you should be able to set-up a solid business that will be generating nothing less than #500k or #1m for you daily. There are many ways to launder money while you maintain a normal lifestyle, be discreet and get connected.

Mr Chi/ma?

Reeefe:
Where are u based?

Currently in Lagos

Not moulding blocks oooo .

Talking of "gumming" already moulded blocks together. Not yet practiced but "I heard"....

Except if its case of like 100 or less blocks... You won't be wasting much of cement

dollarnaira:

If the usages will be more than 3000 blocks
See you will waste materials ehn

Because sharpsand/sandy soil is different from plaster/clay/loamy soil..... Bricklayers go waste materials like mad

Because where one handful trowel of sharpsand will fill will eventually be taking two handful trowel of plastering sand


The thing go just dey fall anyhow

VanuatuWycombe:
I would love to see their works m and meet them. I love quality works a lot. You have peace of mind and spend very little on maintenance.

I am not there currently, there they are filling heavy body of osa sea to build international standard apartments..... Mostly Duplex......

VanuatuWycombe:
I swear to God. I am not even exaggerating.

The engineer is a Nigerian that has been building for years.

It may not mean he doesn’t know what he is doing as an engineer. It may mean he was building to the standard his client wanted.

What even led to him saying that was when the buyer was trying to price down the properties because he didn’t see them. I guess that was why his engineer said what he said.

Right from building the first block, we have maintained the quality.

Three senior masonry workers left the job because we insisted they dismantled anything laid that didn’t conform to our standards.

A lot went into the work. Even the carpenters we used said they had never been detailed like that kind of work in their entire career.

No long talk.... Go palmcity ajah and see work... Walai those engineers working inside palmcity estate Ajah dey fight for standards well well....


Only experienced and well detailed worker can enter that place

VanuatuWycombe:
Oh. Ok.

God would make betters for us, including where we least expect it.

I claim this
Amen

VanuatuWycombe:
I can recommend the one I used. He is currently busy inside RCCG camp now sha.

I am not building currently, I am just looking for whom to work with ooo or that needs assistance

VanuatuWycombe:
Yes. I know. Lots of substandard materials out there. That’s why I am very choosy when procuring. I chose tested and tested materials for finishing.

That’s why I am an advocate of quality things.
It’s good we don’t do it at all, if we can’t afford it.

We have been brainwashèd in Nigeria to be a landlord by force. So people start building nonsensè, all the name of: WE HAVE MOVED TO OUR SITE.

The properties I built for sale here are great testimonies of what I always talk about qualities here.
When a buyer sent his engineer to come and check them ahead, the engineer said: OGA, THIS HOUSES ARE BUILT BETTER THAN THE ONES WE BUILD FOR YOU O.
The buyer said: HAA. IT MEANS YIU HAVE BEEN BUILDING RÛBBISH FOR ME SINCE.

After ending the call, the engineer said he’s trouble for saying such thing.
There’s nobody that got to the property and won’t say we really really tried.

I will be happy if i can find an engineer that can follow an examples duely..... Not just bringing up ideas that's not tested or trusted......

VanuatuWycombe:
But cost of plastering nko?

Using tile gums and grouting of tiles with original grout can prevent water from penetrating an ún-plastered walls.

Because most of Nigerians are poôr and they are used to building low-budget, poor quality houses from generations to generations, that’s why they feel using cement for tiling cannot be compromised.

Tiles stay on fiber cements. Tiles stay on gypsum boards. Even on walls coated with (rubber-like) water membranes, tiles stay on them - all, using tile gum.

Let us all endeavor to do it the standard way o Oyibos do it because we learned it from them. Our own invented way of building is mud house.

That’s why we fall in love with the level of accuracy, durability, precision etc in Oyibo houses.

Let us be buying industrial grade materials. They will safe us lots of money in maintenance than using our own improvised way cutting cost when building.

If one can’t afford quality (not big) house now, keep buying quality materials and be keeping till you one is able to do. standard building.

I see a lot of houses in Nigeria that are lesser than 2 years and they are either going through one repair or maintenance.

Did you even know that most Goodwill tiles soaks water even after being laid on the wall and floors.... Did you even know some grouting materials made in nigeria also soak water?


Why?

Because adding plaster sands with cement does not prevent water, it only hold the tile to the wall and the surface of the tiles is only the ceramic preventing water...... If enough water is being used then you will see the traces of the tiles absorbing the water from the surface

There are many poorly produced Tiles or let me say the tile is low quality and can't withstand steadily water usage

You don see some tiles peel on the surfaces from excess foots matching it?

Yesterday was an experience of one too
A carpenter standing as supervisor wants me to use 1 and half bag of cement(MANGAL) to lay 18sqm of wall because he wants to manage for the said engineer that's not around currently

I did and bid him farewell......


See picture of the work here

bigpicture001:
Dat lady is gas not cheated yet... Sh is being worked on by a man... Dt is why I told oo, to stop the Mickey mouse game ND confront your wife...

Sh is. Not ur gf, tell her straight what's up ND how it will end for the two of u.. sh will quickly realize ND fall in line....

Jobless people, 12:10 noon and they're converged over politics and money sharing......many hitherto artisans are now errand boys and politician bootlickers at the expense of their trade...... productive time is now spent playing politics in the country 😔😔😔😔

You go get contract from them like this.... Na people wey dey carry out the job dey suffer pass

Bobodee09:
Looking for someone to teach you over there

Make i try

Bobodee09:
It depends on the state you residents.

If you are lagos ..maybe I can link to a lady that will teach you small cutting for a start.

I am currently in kwara state and the economy here is not helping at all

Bobodee09:
Polythene bag production is a goldmine most people don't know about


It doesn't require must capital and there is minimal risks.

All you need is to learn how to cut and get go spot(market places) to sell them that all.

You can conveniently make 150k profits per week with good sales

Is there a way you can help me out learning this?

RealityKings1:
Don't give up

No never
That's cowardly swears

RealityKings1:
Nothing 4 u

Yeah absolutely nothing

Omoh x10000000000
Wetin poor man want do

ceejay80s:
Don't mind the stupid minister, the day Nigerians will open government black book is the day nigeria will seize to exist, they should continue, even nairaland go ban tire to no avail

Deep talk
🤦‍♂️
Dark days are terrible

ajabani4allah:
What about if the toilets and the kitchen walls are just rubbed with mortar by the bricklayer, will the tiles stay firm on it with just normal cement and sand or with only addesive?

Sometimes only cemen can be used if the walls are perfectly plastered..... But you will need tile gums to help firmness

ajabani4allah:

2 4liter paint bucket of plastering sand per a bag of cement will do that easily.... Only adhesive might yield to over usage of materials na

RandomForest:
This is the absolute truth. Right now as I'm speaking with you the case is at the Police station. I found out that the Tiler and the said manufacturer (another Tiler) are colluding to create an unknown mixture and selling it to client as adhesive when in reality it's just repackaged OPC cement with some additives. To be specific, the Tiler took my engineer to a vendor to buy the Tile Adhesive at a ridiculous price, only to return to take over 50% commission.

Reasons why trust and reliability no dey our work again..... Hardly you will see any good and high calculative engineer give you access to handle purchase of any materials


There was a work i did last month where the person that took me there was trying to train me on how to do some shits

I told him clean that i only work for my money... Anything else like stealing na no no for me
Dey tell me to say i used 5 bags of cement intead of 3

On top work that's not big oooo.....we are indeed blacks and brainblacks for naija

Make una help my life na...... Even if na any labour work...... Omoh hunger don dey enter this thing aje

sonnie10:
There is tile surface finish they call RUSTIC FINISH in Nigeria. That is what most people use, even for outdoors. It is non-slip

Something like this are good for bathrooms and outdoors..... It's rustic surface

ChybuzzDD:
Ok, but i have seen some tilers who preferred doing the plastering by themselves before putting the tiles.

Yeah most tilers that do take contract from direct sources do that..... Depends on the pay
