That's the boat I'm trying to lift by hand.
Failure means I'll have to refund almost 2m Naira. where I wan see am?

Next thing was material selection. since the lift was going to be permanently in salt water, it was important to make sure all parts were galvanized steel and stainless steel. even electrodes for welding were stainless steel electrodes.

another important consideration was the capacity of the winch. since I was designing a 4 cable lift, the minimum winch capacity I would need is a half ton winch in order to lift a 2ton boat.

so when I saw 1ton written on that winch. I knew it would hold up.

first things first, I rented a space at the iron market ...
N2000 per day.

This is what I came up with.

This is a story, an inspiration, a challenge and a thread.

How do you build a device that can lift a 2 ton speed boat out of the water by a hand operated winch?

That's exactly what I'm thinking in the picture below.

Please, the car gurus should help a brother here o. It is my first car. I bought it tocumbo, Toyota Corolla Sport 2007 around September last year.
My experience, whenever I suddenly brake (in an emergency) even at 30km/h speed, I do feel vibration under my leg with the brake pedal. Before I don't feel it but changed the brake pads and the shoes because they have chopped. What could be the problem please? As I said earlier, I'm new about car and I don't want the problem to escalate and lead to bigger problem. I took it to a mechanic which he said the rotor plate (pls pardon me) that have bend and needed to be replaced. I told him I'll get back to him. Please those who have an idea of how to go about this should help a brother.
Another issue I noticed is that, before, one kick my car has answered but of recent I discovered that some time I have to give it two kicks before it start. Please what may be wrong?
Thank you.

That thing he's calling rotor plate is called brake disc and yes it has chopped in an uneven manner, if you have plenty money you can change both of them but if you be salary earner way dey wait for month end, you can ask him to remove them take to a Turner to file the surface for you. In school we call them machinist but mechanic dey call them Turner. Just tell him take am go Turner make them do am. His brain will connect

As for you double starting issue, it could be a number of things ...maybe your fuel pump is failing. This happens when the check valve inside the fuel pump fails and it can no longer hold fuel pressure inside the fuel line long enough for the engine to start on the first crank. So you go crank am 2 times before pressure will be enough to start the engine.

I never drive Toyota b4 so I no know what else causes double starting... Maybe battery too procold start sensor ...just go and scan the motor ... Guess work have shown me pepper...just go scan the motor ...no talk say I no warn you o!

She always claim she trusts me but mehn she doesn't let me out of her sight. I do everything and it's affecting me, we have a son and another is on the way, she has refused to learn how to drive on purpose, I take her everywhere, antenatal, market (hate this one the most), I drop and pick her from work, am forced to go church or other programs which I wouldn't like to go.

She goes through my phone every 3 days most especially at night. She noticed I snore I asked for a separate room, she will never let me, she Insists we sleep with light on.

Sometimes I pray for Nepa to take light. The day I called an ex that works in bank to assist me with transaction due to crowd, she went through my phone saw it, I had to explain out of anger she smashed my phone she does this very often she has smashed hers b4.

I feel like running away for a week but I can't leave my work or our son and she might go to my parents which I wouldn't want.

Pls I need help on how to tackle this wahala

Pls give me that your wife and take mine. I beg you...I don't mind adding 1m on top for you.

I am not going to create another moniker for this,i owe no one nothing!

I have spent most of my life single. I tried linking up with people but to no avail. Why? I will not do the blame game here. Is all my fault. I meet someone, get heed over heels for the person but I lose interest easily. When it comes to commitment, when the friendship is to get to the next level I ghost them. I don't know why. At best out of the blue I lose interest and become blank, not returning calls or replying messages, at worst I become disgusted at the fellow for no reason at all then move one to the next male friend. Nothing serious comes out of it...

So I decided to give up trying. My female friends and I go on an outing, some guys approach us and get our numbers. Months (sometimes years) later they are still waxing strong with the males, one of them even got married to one of them. But me? After a couple of weeks I find myself having to ghost the guy that I was head over heels for.

I gave up on love and chose to be single. I have been single for years now.

I met this guy march this year,we bonded like never before. I have never in my entire life felt like this before. It is so strange that each conversation we have all seems anew like we are starting all over.

It's almost ten months and the fire is still intense.
I have never had such a long friendship with a male. People assume we are dating. He gives me so much JOY... He is so awesome, different from all the others i have known. He changed me.

I just figured out i want to end the friendship, I don't know why. I am tired. I want to walk away. The passion is still there but i want to be away. I wanted to get a new SIM but my conscience will not. What has kept me from doing this is because i wonder how he will feel..

I want to walk away. Will i regret this?

You have low ...very low self esteem. The woman I married is like that too. She wants to even walk away after marriage.

Once you don't feel appreciated like the first day you start looking for a new admirer. Na low self esteem something.

Funny thing is we won't argue for 1 minute before she tells me I have low self esteem.

I see it as her way of denying she has low self esteem. It must work for her every time.

Baby reason with me let's start a family.

No! my career is very important to me my career is very important to me. See your life now.

NonFarmPayrol:
I have done several wheel balancing and alignment. The problem still stays

All the legs are also in good condition. Tie rods etc

What could cause the car steering to shake at high speeds, shakes the steering and the car itself vibrates

Also notice the cars gently swings left and right at low speeds of 40km

Check your inner tie rods at the ball joints with the steering rack. And check the steering rack itself.

When you touch your steering during motion how much delay do you get before the car responds? Check steering rack through an experienced mechanic.

Kindheartedd:
I actually told him I'll create a thread and he agreed because we need other people's view on an issue or even issues.

We have some small small issues that causes arguement regularly. I will describe my daily routine and his.

Me: I am a mother of two active kids (twins), I only have someone who assist me for two hours. Her duties are to; sweep, mop, wash dishes, and clean the house, she doesn't bath the kids becuase I do not want accident. She doesnt cook or go to market for me. She lives my place from 10am; immediately she's done with cleaning she lives.

I'm a freelancer, so I work from home. I have long term clients I work for so am as good as fully employed. Infact, I currently have two jobs, one is full time ie 40 hours a week, and the other is partime but still a daily work. Because of the work load, I had to get someone to assist after training her to do the job. She work for about 4 hours daily while I resolved bigger issues she can't for 4 hours. Atimes she is out pf power and I do the work all day. (She work from her home in a different state).

After getting my kids ready for school, I immediately sit to start work and I work till they return from school, I take like 30mins break to attend to them (food, UnCloth and dress them up), don't forget this time my help has gone. Once am done, zoom to work. I close atimes, 5pm, if it's a morning duty I finish 2:30pm and the other job I do it randomly till 8pm. Between these work hours, I will cook, wash, sweep again (with the presence of kids one must sweep always - personally, I hate seeing my house look untidy or see crumbs of food on the floor, lil ones will always eat and scatter stuffs)

Hubby: He goes to work from past 7am and return 9pm or 10pm. He goes to work weekends atimes and most times he is fully around weekends.

The issues:

1.
The doesnt assist in any way at home. If I ask for help, he will shout at me and ask where is my help? He even said the girl should be leaving 10pm, she is married and assist her mother in law in the market.

2. We have a washing machine, my husband doesnt know how to operate it, I have taught him several times, I wash his cloths before getting the machine, when I newly got it, I load it with his clothes without issues, cos I don't have kids then. Now, I have kids, I wash daily. All I ask him to do is to load the machine with his clothes, he said loading it is not a task and that I should always do it. I have two laundry baskets, you can never find his dirty clothes in them! He hangs them. I always remove from hangers whenever I want to wash, i have complained alot of times but na lie.

He is not grateful for helping him wash his clothes, all he will say is it's not a task and that he sees me as a jobless woman, that he goes to work and I should wash and iron his clothes. If it's no task, why can't he do it himself? Am complaining because, I hadly sleep due to work, am stressed, do your own laundry yourself! He believes am at home so I have all the time to do his laundry, but no, I work too. Weekends, he spend his time with either his phone, or with the estate people. Why cant he use this time to do his laundry? I work weekends and he sees the way I take my laptop go kitchen atimes. He sees the way I lock myself in the room to attend to tasks. It doesnt mean the kids or him will stay hungry! I balance my home by all means.

3:Any dirty cloth not hanged is left in the living room. Infact, 99.9% are left in the leaving until I complain about it. I pick them up most times.

4. No matter how much there is heat, he will never take his bath at night. Weekends is worst, he can remain smelling till monday morning.

5. He is abusive, I grow up in an abusive home, it doesn't mean I still love abuse. I still haven't gotten use to abuse. Listen, my husband has told me before that my certificate is useless (i started work before marriage, well as a contract staff not earning well then but it was still over 100k), fine not where I wanted to be but I shouldn't get that from him. Your father wasted money on you, you can't be part of a board meeting, you are a mat, you will be laid, when i used to work in an office on shift, he hate seeing me at home relaxing while he go to work and return, I will hear the unmentionable that day.

It got to a point I told him, look if am at home on week days, see it as my weekend cos you are at home during the weekends and I go to work.

He doesnt believe me, he believes what outsiders say, I dont lie to him and never had trust issue with him so I see no reason why he wont believe me. This one really is not my pain cos I see it's a background thing.

What what what more can I say? 'I married you to work for me so you must work', I hear strange things from him and I am baffled if this is how men talk rudely and discouteously to their wives. During kids exams last term, I was so busy and asked he help revise with the kids, he said never what is the work of the teachers? He believes kids in private schools shouldnt read or have extra classes or have their parent revise/teach them at home because he pays much fees and should automatically pass to the next class no matter the grade. This made us argued like street spouses. His school of thought is awkward, we don't agree in so many ways. He doesnt stay in one church, he likes being a first timer every sunday. Now we have kids!!!!!, how can we move from church to church every sunday? Alot of issues, am tired!!!!

Ask of I don't talk back at him? Yes, when I discovered he is the abusive type, I don't spare him again, I madly shout back and return his insults most of the time now. We have just fought again, my baby is having cold, and while am trying to apply first aid he started shouting at me, meanwhile when I brought her in he was pretenting to be sleeping. That a child is down is stress for the mother, why adding shout?

Atimes i sit and weep, if I remember the pain of the past and his wahala, if not that I am a total believer in God, I would have lost it. I did my msc in finance and all I got daily from him was ' you went to read finance because your friend so so did msc finance' , it was until I told him with proof that the friend never did msc in finance he stopped.

He always believe he is right, you are the fool.

The only good thing that has kept us is forgiveness and he apologize always, I forgive him whenever he apologize, but the next minute, he will do and say the worst.


No insults, please matured adults, married and experienced adults, kindly advise us. We have no one we can relate this issues with in our families. We do not want family interference. He will be reading your comments so please no insults.

Madam I read your long post because I got married just this December and when they say every marriage has its own peculiar problem ...it's true. The difficulties I encountered in my marriage made me become more religious than b4, it made me use my last money to buy home theater just so that I can do praise and worship. Mind you my wife is abroad o!

The truth of the matter is that Your husband is only the head of the family physically...spiritually he is lost. I want to bet my last dollar that you two don't pray together. Your husband doesn't lead his family in prayer.

There is this change of character that comes with when a person is close to God. Take for example your husband is all you have just said. Do you think he will make those statements if he calls you every night to kneel down for him to pray for the family? I'm sure in such prayer he will ask God to bless the family, he will ask God to strengthen his wife, he will ask God to protect his wife and kids, he will ask God to provide and bless his hand work. He will not argue or fight with you again becos God is all that matters to him.

When I got married my wife thought I will start competing with her in arguments and superiority, I told her I can never compete with my wife ...shes my partner not my competitor. Have you watched Formular 1 race? For example Mercedes Benz usually have 2 drivers running. They are not competing against eachother....they are complementing eachother.

We all come from different backgrounds and don't expect us to be perfect...but one thing I know is if you are close to God.....it changes you and brings you closer to perfection.

Your husband needs to find peace with Jesus ...he's utterances will change and his attentiveness to your predicament will awaken. He will go out of his way to see that his lovely wife is not stressed out. He will call you midday just to ask if you have eaten something. The only things that will be valuable to him will become God and his family. He will help his wife at home becos he doesn't want you to suffer. He will become selfless. He will call you sometimes, bow your head and pray for you.

A lady friend once told me that sometimes she wakes up at night and puts her head on her husband's chest and speak prayer into him...that he will succeed, that God should bless her husband....God should protect her husband. Do you pray for your husband? So he will even see that his wife is supporting him with prayer. If my wife can pray for me ...i will move mountain the next morning.

What am I saying since? Marriage is team work not a competition in argument or who's right or wrong.

And until your husband finds Jesus and establish an intimate relationship with God...you will continue to have these problems becos there will be nothing to caution his utterances and actions.

As for you, my advice is hold his hands and pray for him at night when he is sleeping. When he sees you praying for him he will rethink he's attitude towards you in the morning and forever. The words of your prayer will reveal to him that you are his partner and not his competitor. Pray, fast, for him. Let him know it's for him. Unless you married a terrorist ...he will change before your eyes.

If not that car manufacturers are mad, why would we need this

obembet:
Guys I believe many of you have experience this and handled it with maturity. How do you end call you're tired of without sounding rude?

Just rebooth the damn phone ....at some point during the rebooting process the damn call will drop.

aro1:
what's your reason for this?

Well, I spend most of my driving time on site driving through unforgiving terrain and Toyota Tundra's and Toyota Land cruisers are lying all around the site with front shaft or bow joint pulled out. ...

Toyotas can't withstand the places I go to; and again the cost of 1 Toyota can buy 3 of my Ford truck so what's the point?

forzaDiya:
Goodevening everyone.

Please guys, I really need your help. Its very urgent.

There is this Nissan maxima 2001 model my brother gave to me. He has parked it down for almost 2 years.

So, last week...I decided to repair the car because I want to use it next year. We had to tow it to the mechanic workshop. We started working on it. Changed the brain box, the fuel pump, bought new battery, new tyres etc.

After everything, it came back to life. Nice sound. Everything seems to be alright. Then the re-wire drove it around, though, I was with him. We discovered that the gear (automatic transmission) wasn't selecting.

It works on reverse (R) , on drive (D) and on Park (P). But the gear isn't selecting (like change from 1-2).

The re-wire said we need to change the gear oil. We flushed the gear oil that was there and bought a new gear oil. We bought 8L of Holts gear oil. The gear consumed everything before it could guaged.

After changing the gear oil, we then tested the car. It was still the same problem. The gear wasn't selecting. Sometimes, it will act like it wants to select, but nope.

Please guys, what do think I should do? Please!

Thanks.

You probably have the wrong brain box installed. Or the gear selector switch cable is not plugged in...check well.

Aadeyinka:

In America...NFPR (Non Farm Payroll) is the critical indicator of how the job market is doing.

There is a reason the non farm sector is used instead of otherwise. In Nigeria na Farm Payroll them wan use for indices....Hausa Fulani mentality and hipocrisy mixed with conspiracy against 2019.

I was working for this company that paid very well as a contractor. I wasn't comfortable with it so i decided to start a business fish farming i bought land started fencing the land etc. Today i just got news that we have been laid off and my current balance is around 1.1m.

I have a few questions:
1. is it ok to go all into fish farming?
2. What's the profit like for such business considering i started it with 20k fishes. Im quite aware of their mortality rate as my mum has one in our house.

Thanks as i wait for your response id really appreciate it. This is a bad way to start the new year for me honestly.
