I’ll recommend my team of masons but they’re busy on my build for the next couple of months. If you haven’t found by then please let me know.

Thanks.

Hope they are affordable sir!

Hello @tposy23 / @Twinskenny,

If you don't mind, can you make your quotation for this material request public?
Some others may have eyes on the same thing and put that into consideration.

Specify brand/make of cables quoted.

Completely up to you sha, it's just an optional request.

Thanks

Wonderful request.

Seconded!

mufutau55:
Yes. There is Allcopacetic, Topsy23, and Jaffos (Jaffos is not on NL, but my private cable guy). You can order, pay them because they are Agents and pickup from respective factory of Nigerchin (Ikeja) and Coleman (Mowe). This is done for authenticity , so as not to get fake cable.

Note: You get it cheaper from Agents than going directly to buy it at the factory. The Agents get more discounts.

If HajjM says it, it must be true. I will work harder.

zeberebe:
thank you sir

This is a farmland .

n3xt:
Ok. Same approach work.


It is universally accepted construction standard for kobocitizen self builders and those who want to do cool stuffs without blowing budget.

THanks

n3xt:
2 bedroom that has brother and sister, right?

Same approach works.

Get few planks and tell the carpenter to do the job in phases. (eg. external beams and window lintels first; columns and balcony beams second; internal beams and doors last).

Why? You may want to ask.

The external walls/beams will use the most number of planks. You'd hardly require more than 5 - 7 planks to prepare your 9in lintel soffits. More of the planks will be used for the sides which can be removed 24 hours after casting to do other parts of the building.

Your columns and balcony/terrace beams should be done after you've completed all the external beams and window lintels because your internal beams and door lintels will require a lot of wood cutting which might render your wood useless when you want to do your frontyard/porch columns and arcs if there's any.

_______

As for iron rods, pls kindly tell your friend to try and get the best bargain as prices of iron rods aren't smiling now.

_______

Give out the concrete and the carpentry work as a contract (one-off payment). Don't try daily pay thing, you'd end up paying more than necessary and the job might extend more than you planned.

Sincerely, not the one you know with brother and sister.

This is strictly 2 bedroom only.

n3xt:
It should be enough.

Just tell the engineer/carpenter to buy 30 planks and transfer after use to other areas to be covered. The job should be completed within a week.

2 bedroom nko? Asking for a friend nio?

neduboo:
Please I need you all clarification on something.

Some guys keep coming to my construction site telling me to settle them. They said they are from the LGA. Even threatening to seal my site if I don't comply with them.

Please what's the the business of LGA with my construction?

Those guys has been pestering me

What state is this?

pafo:
Good day Nairalanderz, I'm thinking of setting up a farm/ranch in Oyo due to the cheap rate at which lands are sold but various news in the media about attacks on farmlands and kidnappings along that route is making me have a major rethink.

Can anyone around Eruwa and Iseyin, Ibarapa LGA or one who constantly plies those route please give an honest opinion of the situation.

Thank you.

What you hear in the news is real.

If you are bent on having a large scale farming in the areas mentioned, set up your independent security apparatus.

Good luck on your investment.

Dennis3D:
Good evening sir.
Sorry we, waited for the borehole people to install the pump yesterday that was why we didn't put up any update.

However we have that for you now.

Pump used here is 1.5Hp and Depth is 70meters...

Good one.

Person2person:
We can give you our HDF door with lock and installation @ 65k

Better to break it down to encourage him.

He said his budget is 35-50k

May be the lock is 5k
Installation is 10k

Chekitaut:
100k & 210k respectively. Sir

What size be this?

@Chekitaut, how much is Sharp Sand and Granite to Epe?

No update on the borehole drilling.

smallsmall:
Nothing will scare a House Owner,like a shaking Decking.
Deckings rest on walls and columns, contain reinforcement and beams, it should never be moving up and down, never!
What if it collapses on people downstairs, when more dead loads are added to it?

For the vibration to be so obvious and responsive to someone jumping up (that is a swing, not even a vibration), shows that the Decking is not balanced, probably Columns are missing at strategic points, likely the reinforcements in the Decking, especially the internal, decking beams are not adequate or even probably the mix ratio of the concrete is weak.

Whatever it is, it does not look good at all and might present danger in the future.
If l were the owner, the approach l will use is to call the Structural Engineer who designed the Project, to have a look and confirm whether it is safe and if not, what should be done to make it safe.

A Swinging Deck should not just be leveled with more concrete load, the reason for such movement should be first clearly established or the Decking removed completely and a proper, new one done, at great cost.
Fear dey cath me sef, from where l am right now.

As I read this post, I kept looking up. One of the reason I left my rented apartment in Lagos. I couldn't sleep with eyes closed despite the owner's corrections on the decking.
If I am this situation, na to remove the decking completely. Fear still dey catch me gan! Eni sango batioju eja kojebawon bu oba koso

Hope they sort it amicably.

EgunMogaji2:
We’ve met in the middle.

Your preferences is NOT to use wallpapers in the kitchen. NOT that it’s not possible.

I actually only sell my lands directly without agents but I appreciate good faith referrals.

Baba, agents know people. Egun moni
