Never hit anybody expecially a woman except in self defense.

You do realize Isreal is less than 5 percent Christian, don't you?

Princeofnigeria:
Wow I'm so happy.



Let the uncircumcised death toll keep rising.
I want to see 2000 by tomorrow.
God punish them. Una think say na Nigeria


The God of Israel is alive.



I watched the opening prayer of today event to US+Jerusalem embassy opening.

The God of Christians is amazing

Bros, please what is the annual or monthly maintenance fee?

Is there anything YOU invented or discorvered that has not been reported? Or have you discorvered someone who did that needs reporting; if so you can be the reporter cos you are also a Nigerian just like all the reporters.

Aderewah:
The kind of news we see clearly refleets why Nigeria is like this. No news of inventions, discoveries, books, inspiring business startups or generally useful inforation. 90% of youths don't know who Ekotie eboh is but they know all about anto. Pathetic. When a society don't care for the arts, sciences and technology, decay is inevitable.

King Solomon was rich while Adam had only a garden in the eyes of Eve

danaiks:
King Solomon.
I need to know how he controlled 700 wives and 300 concubines .
Adam could not even control Eve, but King Solomon was in control of 1000 women

My brother, thank you.

EgunMogaji:
EPP is a colloquial shortening for help.

QAP is OAP which is On Air Personality.

I had a backpack Echo blower that claimed it could blow a brick over 6ft. I bought it and tested it and even on a not so smooth driveway, it sent the brick over 6ft. I sold if after. See this video from Echo https://www.echo-usa.com/Videos/Blowers/PB-755-Power

aonag:
my dad had his boys wash the compund every sunday with water and broom.. the whole compound. im even making life easy for them with the pressure washer. this blower is only for leaves and bot so heavy objects or is it also for sand?

Seriously what does "Epp" stand for? Also while at it: when they say that Daddy Freeze is a QAP what does QAP stand for? Sorry Google is my friend but he sef no Sabi

Juokorow:
Please consider that this “Who 1.5m Epp” comment is not appropriate and is diluting the substantive merits of your case, based on facts, which some may never acknowledge. Again, that phrase is simply inappropriate.

Money, this guys sceptism is probably the biggest free endorsement you ever got. I mean the original poster we dey fear. Now you are in my very short list for the future. Thanks to the doughter and the redeemers. Money keep doing your thing..

money121:

Not bad. I can work with that.

EgunMogaji:
I'm sold on it, I just have to find the right profile.

That's mostly what we have here and they make it onsite.

Me, I no send. I personally love the clean lines . Looks elegant.

EgunMogaji:
What? You too?

But be careful lest they accuse you of not being able to afford Metwhatever

It's amazing that individuals have tastes for their individual sites

Hope someone reply, I am following this too. This is also my roof of choice.

EgunMogaji:
If possible can someone please share the different profiles of standard long span that’ available in the market?

Thanks.

PS: Trying to be as close as this if possible.

Had no idea what to call it but l was sure pros like you will chime in. It is pretty cool but labor intensive.

rabcnesbit:
This is not concrete laying per se. It is some of decoration known as pebble dashing. You apply a plaster of cement, and then apply the pebble dash.

Check out this concrete layering technique on YouTube

Closer to something like this. Imagine the dirt floor to be a sloped platform with roofing material and further imagine the platform where the tank is on to be some sort of pillars so that any water drops on the slooped platform. Now imagine all this to be hidden within the roof like oga Spyder already does

EgunMogaji:
You mcean like this Sketchup I did?

Hells No!

EgunMogaji:
You mean like this Sketchup I did?

Nice. Now if you can figure a way to roof that floor while suspending the tank above it, you will kill all future worries. By the way, I know very little to nothing about conventional building. Any coments or suggestions comes simply from an active mind. Much admiration for your work and processes.

spyder880:
we raised the slab about 225mm on one side to make a slope where water can easily run off to the drain on the lower side. But I still want the top to be waterproof.

Thanks for the info. If it granite, I fear it will be slippery for a staircase.

spyder880:
This is granite material cut into various shapes to fit the staircase and can be done in many designs. They are very much in Nigeria and sells for about N11,000 per linear meter. I will get more pictures of different samples of it later today.

Oga Spyder, Here is a crazy idea. Have you thought of slopping the floor so that it does not hold water while the tank is suspended horizontally with concrete pillars say 6 inches above the sloped floor? you could even have the sloped surface covered with roofing material. If you get my drift, it is worth considering from a professional perspective.

spyder880:
I have used tiles in the past, and even melted tar to provide a water leak proof surface, but I am looking at something new for this current work I am doing. I am exploring a method called "felting" this is a way of using rubber felt to spread and stick over the tank base act as a waterproof membrane sealing the tank base floor.

spyder880:
This type?

Monsur Spyder, please could you elaborate on that step. I like it.

Look for a product that has the acive ingredients of your favorite product in Yanky and go to town on them.

EgunMogaji:
How can I get rid of soldier ants?

Thanks.

I may know a little bit about security dogs so I am going to chime in. One of my many ventures in Nigeria before leaving over 20 years ago was the sale of high end security dogs. They were high end due to my sourcing methods and clientele at the time. That said, if you cannot train the dog yourself, have it professionaly trained in the US or overseas.

AngelicBeing:
Naturally I like dogs and if I have to permanently live in Nigeria, l know how to get around it, I might get dog trainers and all that stuff, chai, Nigeria security situation is precarious

Cool

EgunMogaji:
Thank you, Sir.

Once I'm living there more full time then I'll be replacing the metal inserts with swing open glass for more light and air into the garage. But for now let's keep "oju aiye" out of it

EgunMogaji:
I'm currently doing this in parts of my compound.



Good luck on your decision.

Me likes the garage doors

Modern and affordable

TheMinimalist:
can you tell me what you want here ,I don't have time to check my email

Saw your other thread and realized we have similar taste as I am currently in early design phase. I just wanted to know the source of the pics. I have scouted Google in the past yet some of these designs, l have never seen.

TheMinimalist:
Is Flat concrete roof cheaper to than conventional roof?

Love these designs

No vex my brother.

Ayhomes:
we are open for inspection during the and weekends . Call us to book for inspection today or you can send your lawyer

Have you heard of YouTube and a link? And I am not talking of a tired video from 2 years ago. If you are going to bump, bump with something relevant.Infact this conversation is a better bump if it actually achieves something more than excuses. My brother, I like to add: no vex oh, this is out of love

Ayhomes:
Thanks for your observations sir. Some time the videos might be too large in size, and pictures of the site is there plus my whatsapp number for more information especially to receive the land documents like layout you mentioned and others. Once again thanks this is my whatsapp number +2349066815852

You know. I always wondered why you and most of the agents who sell properties on Nairaland often do empty bumps instead of providing valuable information like recent developments at the site, pictures, plot layout, pictures of surrounding areas etc
Try it, it might work better than doing the same thing everyone does: providing WhatsApp number for more info.

Seriously Oga Spyder; thanks for your professional inputs, this thanks also go to most of the contributing pros here. But Oga Spyder make I no lie some of your post dey take style scare me because I no say na true you dey talk. Especially we wey dey most likely build in absentia, if I talk say some of this talk no scare us, na lie

spyder880:
Your last sentence is the clincher,
I built in a site last year, I proposed to buy vibrated blocks but the family of my client insisted that they make the blocks on site because they wanted stronger blocks, in the end, the blocks molded 70 in the block industry were not breaking much, but blocks made on site, we lost over 10% to breakage.

Reason for this is supervision, if your site block maker is not as skilled as the block industry guys, you will lose on blocks even if they produce only 20 blocks per bag of cement. Mixing is key, there is a required number of times to turn sand, a required water content, compaction method, and turn duration to get the best of blocks.

EgunMogaji:
One thing that I quickly realized was that I didn't have the courage to trust local blocks to do more than partition. One of us on here even said that they couldn't even hang pictures on the wall because they were falling down

I'll take my shortcuts elsewhere, not on structural.

Even for those making their own blocks, unless you supervise then you're still taking a chance.
