The color selection for this kitchen leaves more to be desired. I was hoping you should have used a contrasting color for the woodwork. Everything looks so dull, no excitement.

I know the house owner has the final say as usual, but......

Politics / Re: Fuel Scarcity: Have Fuel Queues Returned In Nigeria? by diehard(m): 8:26am On Feb 08, 2022
The marketers decided not to sell cause a bad batch of fuel was imported with high sulfur content that can easily knock an engine. But some stations are dispensing this bad fuel.

Please watch where you buy fuel cos you may spend more to repair your engine

I reached out to him, he offered me one without the name of manufacturer, though he is the first to do so with 12 months warranty.

I want one with the manufacturer's name known cos I want to avoid a system that will go bad early or heat up and cause a fire
Car Talk / Android Radio System by diehard(m): 11:41pm On Jan 17, 2022
Hi house, I need advise on the best android multimedia system for an highlander. I have researched our local market and found various types all made in China from unknown brand. Very few sellers offer any kind of warranty for what they sell. I even looked at amazon and found a lot with bad reviews. Some sellers in ladipo has offered me 6 months warranty but raised their price.

Anyone with experience in using these type of radio for their cars?

EgunMogaji2:
Wow (I know I'm sounding like an ambulance). I did get a call from a customer many months back about a complaint but I thought it was just a fluke.

I'll reach out to him today.

I sincerely hope that this is just a glitch and things will be back to normal as it was in the past.

It's not a glitch, he has gone far on this road and has continued because there has been no consequences from unsatisfied clients. These are some of the reasons he ran away from this forum
Properties / Re: Our Renovation Diary (a New Dimension To Nigerian Architecture) by diehard(m): 7:50am On Nov 03, 2021
My greatest pain from him is not even my own project but a friend's own that I recommended him for the project. Now the couple has spent more than 10mil to do things he was paid for. He doesn't pick up calls nor does he show up.

Another friend's drawing that was paid in full for several months has not been delivered. We've called him continuously for a month now. The guy is ready to proceed with the work. I've advised him.
about Skimanski attitude

I know he will soon come online to use lies to counter all these things. I have been on this road before.

Karma is real and it will catch up with him cos whatsoever a man sows that he will reap.

FOSHITO:
I really hope so too, but I do not think so as I have been so patient for 2 months.
I just cannot continue to call him several times a day without an answer.
It shows lack of respect, professionalism and care regarding clients.
Bro. I am utterly disappointed with him. No words can explain the level of disappointment, especially from a man that is highly regarded by most on this forum to deliver quality and good relationship. What a shame to let us get to this stage.

Don't bother to place your hope on him cos I went through worse things from him. I'm still replacing some low quality stuff he bought when I gave him money for top quality.
Count your loss and move on to fix your house by yourself. If you have the time to prosecute for breach of contract then go ahead

Car Talk / Re: How Do I Guage / Service My Gear Oil Without An Oil Stick by diehard(m): 7:53am On Jun 19, 2021
What I did in similar condition was to look at the owner's manual to determine the type and quantity of oil to use. I asked my mechanic to empty the gear oil out and refill with the new oil I bought. I was with the mechanic to ensure he doesn't over fill it because I already new the quantity needed

Completing the roofing, this is the time to introduce the thunder arrestor pointer, these carpenters need to secure it at the top of the building.............

I noticed a lot of your roofing designs don't have vent in them to allow for air circulation and also reduce heat transfer into the house. I know the design was made by the architect and a lot of house owners are not aware of it.

Car Talk / Re: How Do I Import Salvaged Cars, Fix Them And Sell by diehard(m): 5:24pm On Dec 25, 2020
Register on copart.com and look at thousands of selected cars placed for auction. You must know the going rate of the cars you're looking for in Nigeria to be able to determine the maximum bid price you will be willing to pay. You must an importer and also know their office address in US or canada. So that you pay less for moving the vehicle to the port for export.

This is just a start info, knowing the type of accidented car to bid for that won't give you problem to fix is a skill you must learn so that you don't lose your money fixing what will be difficult to sell cos of the high price

Car Talk / Re: Why Are Cars So Expensive? by diehard(m): 9:48am On Sep 16, 2020
Why don't we educate the OP instead of insulting him.

Your quoted forex rate from cbn is not available to the ordinary Nigerian that want to import cars, no bank will sell to your at that price. We are left with black market to buy from and their price is far higher, N470 and above. Another problem is if you buy from black market the banks will not allow you to transfer that money abroad to make payment. The last option is to look for Nigerian living abroad that wants to sell their USD and they mostly sell from N430/440.

A frame structure usually doesn't need lintel to be tied together to give it stability.

I have seen it done without problem, the key to this stability starts from the foundation.

Car Talk / Re: Can I Use 5w30 Instead Of 5w20 Recommended For My ACURA MDX 07 (tokubo) by diehard(m): 8:11am On May 08, 2020
I stopped using 5w20 after i learnt my lesson when using it to maintain a Rav4. I bought a 2010 model of rav4 in 2014. I only maintained it with 5w20 oil, after 3yrs of using the car i starting hearing a slight grinding noise from the engine whenever I accelerate. The car works fine but the engine noise wouldn't go away, until an expert told me that it was caused by the engine oil and i should change to 5w30. I continued servicing the car with 5w20 for two years thereafter before I sold it. The new owner still rides the car till date.
Now i only use 5w30 for oil change and don't really care about fuel economy.
All the oils i use are imported from America
Family / Re: Hisense 215dr Fridge Worst Product Ever by diehard(m): 7:38am On Apr 12, 2020
You all must understand that this kind of refrigerator has only one compressor which is directly linked to the freezer part. The freezer section must be completely frozen before the fridge part will ever get cold, that is why stable electricity is a must. On the other hand you can get this side by side refrigerator that has two compressors, one for the freezer part and the other for the fridge part. The only downside is the cost, it's more expensive than this type you bought

Boss , some one suggested I use 9" hollow blocks for the exterior walls of the duplex and 6" solid for the interior partitions.

Work about to start.

Not a good idea, some pillar of the house will be bigger that the 6inch solid blocks and installation of in-wall plumbing and electrical piping will pose a challenge with these solid blocks

Changing the front grill, headlight and bumper will not completely change the car to a 2019.

What about the doors and the entire back side of the car, the streamlining of the 2019 is so different.
