Good job

This guy Brabus is a typical Nigerian businessman. He is a criminal. Legal proceedings should be commenced immediately.

Okay, I had already paid for the local security doors shown in the last pages of this thread but this morning, I changed my mind, called my welder and told him to hold on on the local doors, then I went to the market and bought these foreign doors (China model). The door will be for my front entrance and the back exit doors, all other internal doors are going to be wooden for now

What size is the door and how much? Is the frame also included?
Thanks

^^^Vitrified tiles are very similar to ceramic tiles, but are made with slightly different elements. The clay is mixed with quartz and feldspar before it is heated in the kiln. These extra ingredients melt, creating a glass element inside the tile. This glass component makes the vitrified tiles very hard and resistant to any type of absorption. The floor tiles in the bathroom has a shinny surface like vitrified tiles.

Vitrified tiles cost a couple of dollars more per square foot because of their extra qualities. Vitrified tiles also need a stronger adhesive than ceramic tiles, which can cost more in installation.

I was told there's a bigger tile market in Orile. They tend to cost between $8 and $20 dollars per square foot here in the US.

@Sprumbaba, I'm still looking for two more cars to fill the container. I would let you know once the required number of cars have been met; then, I'd be able to determine the space for the tiles.

@ Casemoney. Thanks for all the info. Where are you getting your tiles from in the US? Can you be more specific about the tiles you are using for the different rooms in terms of sizes and types. Do you have a good tiler in Nigeria. I will be starting my tiling soon. My email is folajimi@verizon.net

This is what you get with open ward. This is from Kwara (Aladi/Gudugba, Ifelodun LGA)

@ Sprumbaba
Can I have your e mail or your phone #? I have project getting to tiling stage. I have 2 options either buying the tiles in the States and shipping them home or buying them in Nigeria. The problem as usual is the setting of the tiles. It is easy but a lot of the tilers will do a shoody job. You can send pictures of what you have done and what you have in stock to folajimi@verizon.net

I will like to correct you that Casey was right.You should not claim you know it all. You also have not done your research very well.  There are 2 types of Cut inTiles:

1. Rectified
2. Un-rectified Tiles

Both type of cuts need spacers but rectified could use the thinnest grout and thinnest spacer.

Furthermore, in Naija, we dont know the difference between Porcelain tiles and Ceramic tiles, Tile Na Tile. The line you are calling is what they call Grout lines . The norm is to march your grout line with the color of your Tiles not just white cement on brown tiles.
If you need a book on Tiling I can send one to you to guide you in doing your tiling project.
I supervise custom flooring projects and Import them as well.
I purposely placed this 3 tiles together for you to see. The 2 with closed edge is Rectified, while the other one with space (That has a gap) is un-rectified.

The tiler should have used spacers when setting up the tiles. As for the spaces tell him to use grout with matching color and not cement.

@ egin, when Bill Gates developed the internet, he solved a lot of problems in the world, if you are against internet contractors or internet as a whole, thank you, but the whole world is trending towards the internet so don't fight the internet. On trust, well you have never tried anything here, so we might never be able to guess if you can do better than Brabus.

@all, I love those who tried, even if they fail, they actually tried something, for it is better to try and fail than not try at all. Action beats inaction anyday.

Bill Gates did not develop the internet. I know what I am talking about. The video revealed a lot of things that Brabus pictures didn't. Going by other people's comment I think I was right telling potential home owners to be careful of internet building contractors as pictures can sometimes be deceptive. Let us try to keep this a learning thread.

I watched the video. Is Brabus a real contractor or just a fake? This is an eye opener especially for folks abroad, do not rely on pictures on the internet, you have to make every effort to see things for yourself. Beware of internet building contractors. A word is enough for the wise. The quality of work is below expectation. We need more of this video. Do not trust anyone.

Naira depreciates to lowest level in two years


The naira on Wednesday fell to its lowest level in over two years against the United States’ dollar.



This, according to foreign exchange dealers, is as a result of the continued inability of the Central Bank of Nigeria to meet the demand for the dollar; a development which they said had stretched for straight 21 days.



At the inter-bank market, the naira closed at N157.92 to the dollar, down from Tuesday’s figure of N157.20. Traders told Reuters that the current position of the naira was its weakest since August 14, 2009, when it hit N158 per dollar.



Out of $560.54m requested for by dealers at the official window on Wednesday, the apex bank only sold $350m at N154.42 to the dollar. The CBN had the preceding day sold $350m at N153.91 as against $467.6m demanded by dealers.



“The initiatives taken by the CBN both in raising MPR and other measures of tightening our fiscal policy may mean well but are telling on the forex market,” the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Atlass Portfolios Limited, Mr. Ubale Yahaya, told our correspondent.



“The naira for some time now has persistently fallen against the dollar and this is not good for our currency.”



The CBN, among its other reforms, had on Monday raised the Monetary Policy Rate by 50 basis points from 8.75 to 9.25 per cent.



Meanwhile, traders stressed that the pressure on the naira was largely due to the actions of the regulatory bank, as they argued that the apex financial institution had over time refused to meet the demands of dealers.



“The central bank has consistently allowed the depreciation of the naira at its auction in past months and with a large inventory of unmet demand, putting further pressure on the available dollar stocks at the inter-bank market,” a dealer told Reuters.



According to traders, the inter-bank market usually takes a cue from the trends at the bi-weekly foreign exchange auction.



They however, noted that local unit of US energy firm, Exxon Mobil, sold about $50m to selected banks, but it was not enough to provide support for the naira.



The traders expressed worries that the local currency might continue its downward plunge if the apex bank failed to intervene.



“The naira is going to continue to experience steady depreciation until the end of the year as long as there is strong demand and the CBN fails to meet market expectations,” another trader, who pleaded anonymity said.

Ask the government officials both past and present that send their wards abroad for their university education what the difference is. They will be able to provide a good answer. This is like asking for the difference between a sick person and a dead person

Do you live in another planet? You need to face the reality

It is N159 to a $. This was confirmed by my malam on the phone yesterday

Why is this on the front page not even once but twice? Is this blog been bought or something? I hope it has nothing to do with Bankole's city of origin.

You can add the space for the 2nd stairs to the kitchen. The kitchen as you have it now is not big enough, On the first floor you can convert the space for the stairs to a home office or an extra room.
