Good evening everyone....please can polish be used?

Yes ma'am. To give it sheen and prevent algae growth.

Nigerians dey para now. They said it's a skit and apologized yet una no gree.

As lagbaja once sang, me and you no be enemy, we suppose to be family, na wetin you dey find I dey find.
I won't pretend there is no love lost between the two tribes but not to this debased level.
All in all, those tribalists are maga scammed by the elites.
We are the same people looking for the same basic things. The problem started with the politicians in the first republic and during the civil war with hate inciting propaganda used as war tool that illiterate folks swallowed and pass down.
Truth be told, an average ibo man is a good person. They form bulk of my distributors and we enjoy very good relationship.
I've met the kindest ibos too on nairaland through my business.
Our real problem is the political class that continually use the divide and rule to subjugate us.
Only struggling class carry tribalism on their head. There is no tribalism amongst the rich.
In fact a rich ibo man prefers his children to relate only with the children of a fellow rich man from another tribe on a street than his poor kinsmen children.
Truth be told, the mutual dislike and rivalry exist, some weak and twisted folks take it to the extreme.
I am yet to benefit from the vice president that is a yoruba man. Tinubu isn't aware of my existence or gives a damn about me or about most of the others defending him.
My people, please read animal farm by george Orwell.
I can assure you that if this clamor for secession is achieved, the political class will be in romance with the political leaders of other region they detest now and would be hobnobbing with them.
Self actualisation is any group of peoples right though. Just that tribal and religious sentiment is a tool in the hands of the elites to achieve an end and the status quo remains.

I may as well have just written this today.

Good morning everyone, please which type and brand of paint is the best for painting interior and exterior of a building

One drum of super premium regal emulsion paint was used for the external of the building attached below in Ibadan.
Quality is always far cheaper on the long run and immediately also.
We offer affordable quality. It doesn't need to be outrageous to be quality...

For your best quality bread nylon

What's your price

Marketers are still needed.

I have discussed several times the advantage of ready mixed putty particularly for outside screeding to the cement screeding on different occasions and mentioned possibility of cracking and peeling off after drying off after some time even after painted.
Here is pictorial example as received from a client.
Suggested solution was peeling off of the loose ones and application of stabilizing solution on the whole wall to properly bind the unpeeled parts to the wall and stabilizing the peeled part against dusty surface.
Ready mixed screeding putty (basecoat) would then be used to screed the whole wall.
Basecoats to be used all over and stabilizing solution successfully delivered to awka. Protest and fuel scarcity wasn't an obstacle to deliver once payment was received.

The title of the post was misleading in my opinion. So does the news surrounding the boxer.

What makes anyone think that a country like Algeria would front a Trans in any sports at all??

Moreover, Imane have lost to other female fighters before in her professional career.

She does have biological condition (possessing XY chromosome) and people with that condition can still get pregnant and have babies. Imane didn't have sex change.

Some if a man has a medical condition, does that take away the fact that he is a man??

This story is just in the spotlight because of the current political climate worldwide regarding the LGBT issues.

Understood sir. Someone has written about it also. They call them intersex.

They are complicating the world. A man identifying as a female was placed in a female prison and impregnated two female prisoners.

debeey87:
Thank you for this

It's my pleasure.

debeey87:
For those that had to deal with rising damp on their walls, what solutions have you implemented and have they worked so far or some failed.
Some people use wall tiles on external walls but the damp sometimes rise above the tiles in some cases.

For those who have used costarchem products, pls share recommendations and your particular application.

Thank you.

Quality paint and allied products is my forte but I like to share whatever knowledge that can help in line with the intention for the creation of this great thread by Hajj muftau.
I have seen different manifestations of damp.
If it's as a result of water from outside wall or across toilet and bathroom wall, using water resistant paint would prevent it.
If it's from capillary action of ground water, there is little that can be done from experience. The water would find another path of little resistance to come up if one side is blocked using any means.
If the place is tiled, it can appear as blisters over 6 feet above tiles or even appear in a separate place.
As temperature rises, water turns to vapor and rises up trying to escape and it shows as bubbles that blisters as it pushes the paint cost or even parts of plaster. After a while, it would even weaken and affect the plaster there.
What I have suggested to clients in water prone area is to use paint with low binder and applied lightly in a single coat about a feet below the surface so that ground water escapes through there and it can be repainted occasionally separate from the more expensive paint of different color above it.
I saw something even better in a site I've been engaged to supply paints. They used Tyrolean at the base round the building. This can be made lower and left unpainted round the building. The ground water would escape to the surface easily without affecting the wall or paint above it.
Having outside floor that slopes away from the building and preventing water to accumulate long round the building would also help.
I supply undercoat to seal water but there effectiveness is only where it ends except the whole room would be painted with it before screeding in a building prone to severe damp.

Some retards would still prefer the traditional religion to so called oyinbo religion.

sonnie10:


Sir, can you throw more light on this floor sealant? The purpose, merits and aesthetics. Thanks.

Sure sir.
After concrete is pigmented, the sealant protects the pigment in the floor from washing off. It also protects the concrete from growth and adds sheen to the floor.
It could be slippery when wet especially after rain. This is minimized by having patterns with texture for grip.
It also needs maintenance coat every two years or more. This one is 2 years and some months and after rain or if washed, it would still maintain sheen because it is acrylic based and gives better clarity and durability than other types.
There are epoxy and polyurethane based floor paint that are stronger and more expensive but possibly not more durable for external use than the acr based one due to the latter's flexibility.
If the concrete floor wasn't pigmented by adding powder pigment to the cement that is added to the wet layer of the concrete, floor paint could be applied to give it color and sealant applied on it to give it sheen.

Put your price.

Resident metal works expert here is michlins.

Good.
That should make the price of diesel come down for those that doesn't want to convert.

Oluromantic:
Its not surprising to hear that. No single man would want to date (-probably leading to marriage) a woman with children and a woman once married won't want to date a single inexperienced guy. The status of being once married still lingers in their mind. This divorce thing only has a good start when signing the papers, it never has a good end

The irony of it. Both parties may eventually be happy after.

michlins:


Gbadexy, the man who gave me a lifeline. God will continue to bless you immensely

Your perseverance needs to be studied. You kept contributing and showing your worth. That there was an indicator to would be clients of your customer relations skill.
Well God used various people as "lifeline". It was just matter of when not "IF".
I'm glad you keep proving us right. We need more consistent and reliable people here now more than ever.

Oga mi, you're also another very honest person I have liked and followed all these years. Saying you're a seasoned professional is an understatement, you are an expert at what you do. My respects Sir.

This means very much to me coming from the legendary Spyder880.

spyder880:


My brother, I am sure it's the "God factor" following me. I have had the most understanding of clients, the most cooperative and the most tolerant. They see me as an honest person, and I also try to bend over backwards to please them, and pray never to disappoint them.

The last few months has been challenging, I nearly ended up in a police station with a client because the money he paid me fizzled away in my hands before I could spend them on building materials. It was a very sad experience for me, but the client later understood, and gave us more money to complete the work. You can imagine me buying cement for 11,500 when I collected the funds on a 5,800 budget. It was a crazy situation, but God intervened.

You reputation continues to speak for you sir. When one has impeccable track record, it's easier for clients to be understanding.

Objective and open minded intervention all round.
A member here who last engaged next and had issues with him borrowed some money from me with a promise to pay back within the week since last year.
He wanted to borrow much more but I only offered what I knew wouldn't hurt me too much to lose. I was already skeptical and he called me to reassure me it was him.
He had already tried to set the stage earlier borrowing in little amount claiming scarcity of naira and wanting to pay extra back even though I rejected it that it was against my faith to collect interest on money much to his annoyance.
Perhaps someone anticipating extra more payment would have eventually parted with more money.
I've been fortunate to interact with the best of clients that I wouldn't have had opportunity to interact with and they are very accessible, understanding and willing to see growth of others. I wish I could show more appreciation but have to respect privacy and not abuse privilege.
Having said that, there are sometimes the 1% that are regular Nigerian and being a potential home owner doesn't make them saints which was why I emphasized on open hearing from all parties and not be quick to assume a vendor is always at fault.
I've had unpleasant experience with two other people that had issues with next here many years back which makes me wonder if there was something that makes them allegedly fall prey and inability to do anything legally with the so much confidence next exhibits.
I still believe this platform is relatively effective in getting reviews for due diligence with the fear of loss of future patronage deterring contractors.
We've had small minded contractors fallen for instant gratification with clients monies and lost opportunities to make consistent multiplefolds of it over time but others wouldn't even be aware of it was offline or on another platform.
Clients should always ask questions and do due diligence and even after that and something doesn't seem right, do what's in their own interest.

What's the latest update of food supplies

Regal paint supply and machine spray application at competitive rate with regular painting.

Benefits: smoother and flatter finish without roller or brush mark, not peeling easily, better aesthetics.
Project built by a silent nairaland building engineer with lots of posted projects by me without mentioning him.

One of the overlooked ways water could affect internal paints is through the flower bed.
The soil holds water long for it to be absorbed by the wall and it can form blisters at the part it is trying to escape to the surface, damaging the screeding and paint there.
This is more prevalent during rainy season.
I advice undercoat paint or any other waterproofing paint be applied on the walls of the flowerbed before filling with soil to form a water proof barrier between the soil and building wall to minimize water ingress from outside wall.
