That's because your 10kvA inverter is actually 8.5kva when you consider power factor..

You can't have more than 8.5kW even if your panels are sized for 20Kva since your inverter is 10kva.

I stand corrected.

I use Victron 10kva inverter with thirty 400watt panels and 10 Pylontech US2000 48 V batteries. The thing cost an arm and a leg but at least lessens my mains usage significantly

mufutau55:
That is what I remembered too "The Prag" stabilizer instead if the Binatone. I remembered getting 4 units of the Pragg after the discussion and still thinking about getting the 15kva type for the whole house.

I have no money yet getting my intended 5-10kva Victron Solar setup. I ha e been doing a lor of reading and watching setup and operating videos on Victron Energy lately that I am sure this is what I want.

Let me help you here.

Do you know that Bode George stealing public fund didn’t make much headline as Tinubu’s silence during endsars protest?

If you understand why then you’d understand setting expectations too high can lead to considerable stress and this leading to disappointment.

People won’t stop having issues on their projects but learning how to manage issues without drawing from regrettable past would help many people tidy up their projects faster and without issues.

Whether you’d admit it or now, I was on Somehow’s project for just 12 weeks but we’ve spent almost 50 weeks after on what exactly... organizing pity parties, waging war, reconciling issues and you think I’m the problem.

Ask yourself which is more productive? The 12 Weeks of Brabus on the project without external influence or the several weeks of back and forth trying to paint one man black.

Now you’re angry I’m working elsewhere!

How are others managing their issues? Or they don’t have one.

We are not even talking about contractor requesting for additional funds o.

I’m sure you know I’ve never stopped updating my project pages on kobocity.com since we launched the site last year. That’s all that matters to me.

And we’ve never ran online or offline ads. Neither have I lobbied for jobs whether here or anywhere else.

Interested people would always buy.



Of course this is your assumption. Even the client openly admitted my bid was the highest among others.

Funny enough, I wasn’t even in the decision room to know who placed a bid or what figure they placed. I sent in my bid and await the decision of the client.

The client in his own words said “Your quotes are well detailed than all other competitors hence the reason we are going for you.”

On one account, I won’t forget when Mr Somehow told me not to bid for a particular job because he knew my bid would automatically be picked.

Just as most you believed if I share my posts here, it’d automatically win over some clients.

Na dat one you dey call jazz!



What could be more worse than all your sanctions? You even invited Sunday igboho.

I won’t stop doing the jobs of those have continued to engage me. Neither will I stop updating them here and via other medium.

I’m open and use this platform and others to as my construction diary and not as shop as you presume



Well, he actually did something. Relied on online bullying and attacks that got us here in the first place.
The very crowd he chose to turn his back at the beginning of the concert, he ended up going into bed with because one guy missed the note.

If we don’t stop to react to every barking dogs on the way, we might lose our compass on the way.



I said I’m paying him soon.



Go down? Prison?? Tufiaka.

1)We got the land from a private individual or got it from a registered company (will not want to mention the company due to privacy), and sincerely when doing our findings, the CofO is legit with the survey. The private individual claimed he's not aware and we asking for refund has been a tough war (Money problem wahala)

2) based on the issue on ground, we discovered that the whole area (some already built on it with several estates) is under litigation, government collected the whole area in the 90s and the area became a prime location for politicians and the rest, we got like 7 plots there.

Thanks Chief

Good Morning to the Daddies and mummy in the house, i sincerely need your contribution on this, help me.

We got a land valued at around 70M to 100M last year may/june, CofO,survey and the rest showed that the land is legit but when we went to secure the land, we discovered that there's a serious litigation on the land.

Government claimed the lands in the area (prime location) from a family back in the 90s without compensating the family, only for the government to end up reselling such land to friends (private people) which we later got it from.

We've done a serious back and forth since last year and it's been hellish (Land wahala) and refund is no longer forthcoming because we sealed the deal already.

Now, the lawyer representing the family made a request yesterday that we should bring 10M  to offset the bills they've spent on the case and to settle the family members and that when the case finally fall in their favour, they will give us a preferential treatment (Maybe we will forgoo part of the land or we will rebuy the land)

NB: on all angles, it might take time but the case is in the family's favour just like the Magodo vs LASG recent case.

My Delima
We coughed out everything on this land and we've spent blood,sweet and resources on this case since last year, i have a feeling paying the money they demanded won't solve anything even if they should eventually win the case, i don they think am sinceeee.

I need help, two brains are better than one and i am sure intelligent contributions from you will be better than my limited understanding.

Thanks

wow! How were you given a pass knowing you had 5 days left on your visa? What transit did you use.

A friend of mine had 9months left on his visa, note: he had arrived into the USA twice but only for him to come a third time. He was denied a pass due to the fact that they felt he is coming to stay for good. He was denied when he arrived Qatar.

I was so surprised!

Resolved.

How did you handle the SARS people working in LIRS?
My client pay Tax in FCT and LASG is pushing another XX million for ordinary small duplex.

For those who recently file for building permit/planning permission in Lagos, how did you handle double taxation?

Cutting corner is not an option here.

Thanks.

michlins:
this is a very dicey situation oh. Let's say for myself now eh, I will give you the price of doing a job and then buy materials for it and deliver to your site, whatever that's left,am going with them unless when they aren't worth the financial costs of traveling with them

kopell:
Can you tell us the scope of your drawing? This is a little on the high side for regular joes like us. Many of these professionals with Core this Core that end up giving Baba Lati the job without stepping on your side till the job finish. Some of them will come online displaying grammars of professionalism comparing themselves with foreign professionals practicing in other jurisdictions. One thing that is clear to me is to be a PE engineer or Core as they call it, in this part of the world you must be in practice for at least 10 years and exhibit multiply projects that you singlehandedly done over the years before one can seat for that exam. This exam is not cheap, after acquiring your education with sometimes up to or over $100,000 in student loans to attain those professional license. Honestly, can our local professionals comparing their charges with foreign counterparts practicing in other parts of the world. With many of them not even aware of liability that can ruin the entire professional life if anything went wrong in the line of their duty. In my opinion, this is why many of their foreign counterparts charging what the government prescribed for them to charge. Factoring all those student loans and liabilities into those charges, do we have all of this in Nigeria? Even with all this, there is heavy taxes these professionals pay to the government. In honesty, how many of our professionals here paying those taxes, even regular taxes? People pay ties to churches and mosque's than government taxes.

What was the nature of the building that was designed ( duplex, bungalows, etc,etc)

samoranononi:
He told me to pay 25k for architectural design, structural and mechanical. I told him I could only run around for 20k and he agreed. He later said I should send part of the payment the next day which I agreed but that yesterday I was called the youth cane to my land and stopped people that were digging Fence foundation and I paid 45k. They said youth and Cdc. I didn’t have the money but had to take from my business capital. I explained what happened to him and he didn’t care. This money he called that what is going to happen and I told him I’ve been saying it from day 1 that I didn’t have this money somewhere so he had to be patient. I even said let’s see how today goes because he insist I pay in part of the 20k in advance so later today. I sent him a message that he should pause until I raise the money. He’s yet to deliver the job or anything from him. The guy started raining curses on himself and told me that he’s an edo man and nobody messes with them. Immediately I saw the threatening I had to send the 20k from my business. Hoping that he’d deliver the job. Now his asking me for more 30k to get the same job done. I told him I’d share everything here because I met him here.

Hmmmm, I was exactly in your same situation 2 years ago when i purchased a commercial building , did all the search at lands for the title documents , encumbrance if any , etc etc , a lawyer handled it , guess what , the only thing he dint do was talk to the existing tenant , we went with the landlords word that everybody rent was due , and it was just a case of giving them quit notice and 6months they will leave apparently that was not it

The landlady that sold to you is not straightforward, you / your lawyer dint do your due diligence well also

You will need tact like someone said , and hope that you don’t have a stubborn tenant , the law favors them , they can hold up your project with litigation , be ready to negotiate if need be , maybe even pay them off , you have more to loose with every passing day , I wish you the best

My own was held up for one year with litigation till my new lawyer reached out to the tenant/his lawyer and we negotiated and gave them more time and they eventually left , was a mr Biggs franchise .

Going forward always inform the seller to put the place in vacant position or do only part payment till the land lord ensures all tenants are out before u pay the balance . You also need experience, yours or a good lawyer , and prayers
