I cant thank you guys enough for the help im getting off this forum...

I'm back with another question,, this time around its landscaping.

I've read much through this platform to get an idea on how to go with landscaping a project, but couldn't find any. Am beginning to think may be this is not the right place for the topic. But nonetheless, any little thing will do.


Is the architect responsible for landscaping? If not does it cost much?

Based on my experience outside Nigeria I think you require a specialist landscaper to translate your ideas into reality. One young man was pitching his biz recently but I haven't seen him around for a while.

His name is chuksjuve and here's his thread

Good luck and please share what you find.

I can only prove with the bumps on my head after 'heading' low hanging chandeliers left, right and center! Tall people beware when visiting.

Alcopacetic is simply the best.

No longer up for debate. And, one up on y'all, I've been to his showroom.

Dominionng:
I don't have pics of the particular project, but here are few pics of ceilings created with plasterboard.

Dust, dust, dust ... on all those horizontal P-O-P surfaces.

Atchoooooo

Good day everyone, firstly a super thanks to every single person who takes time out to share knowleshe on this forum. God bless you and all.
Secondly, please attached within is the floor plan of my semi-detached bungalow. Please, I'd love to hear other people's views and criticisms.
Thanks and God bless.

- Any particular reason why the laundry room on the left hand apartment has it's own exit door to the terrace? You could save the cost of another 'Security door' by linking the Laundry room to the kitchen instead.

- One of my biggest bugbears is how designs don't necessarily take into account the need for natural light to flow into enclosures. In that same apartment, the space labelled 'Lobby' will be totally dark when all the doors are closed. I would do away with the bit of wall and door leading to the Laundry room so the Lobby connects directly into the Laundry room with natural light coming in therefrom. If that's not desirable, maybe the Laundry room door could be a full length glass door or something.
Edit: Scrub that if the 'Lobby' is meant to be unroofed.

Good luck.

The strong smell made you light-headed and giddy - little wonder plenti roforofo fights during play.

We were involuntary 'glue-sniffers' in those days.

AngelicBeing:
They look portable and nice, it seems they are screwed to the wall.

When new ... in a few years, exposed to the elements, they will look manky and horrible and you can't wait to get rid of them with their Algae colonies.

Don't see the point myself.

erico2k2:
The Dry Season is getting near again, baba God enhance our pocket to do BIG things!

Walahi, this rainy season "showed me pepper" ... which kain rain be this?

MrMcJay:
I personally know this guy. He is usually seated on the floor in front of Access Bank opposite the entrance gate of Lagos State Secretariat Alausa.

The first time I met him, I was walking by and casually dropped N500 for him. This guy called me back. At first, I was hesitant but I was touched when he started praying for me with tears in his eyes. I thought he was only crippled but I didn't know that he had this serious internal problem until I saw him online.

Guys, if you can, please drop something on the Gofundme account of this boy. I'll sure drop something too and see of I can locate him at his spot this week. If I do, I'll edit this post and add pictures here on Nairaland.

God bless you & the organizer of this fundraise. I'm glad they use GofundMe which made it relatively easy to contribute.

They should make sure he gets every single penny.

Next time I'm in Lagos-Alausa (hustling Commisioners for contracts y'know), I will look for the dude and share lunch with him or something. It would be an honor.

allCopacetic:
Lol , the hood is relatively Calm. Thanks for asking Chief.

The Electrical section wasn't directly affected though.
It was some internal leadership fracas within a different section.

I Hope you were notified of final delivery

*1000th* post on this thread. .

10-4 on the delivery, thanks.

With all the reported ruckus around your 'hood, we hope you and your employees are keeping safe.

Daboomb:
I think l have read it somewhere that "man himself, is a political animal".
Everything we do, is rooted in Politics, but a healthy form of Politics.
Not the cash-and-carry or kill-am Politics we play in Nigeria.

You cant divest Politics from anything. It is what brings anything and everything into relevance.

Be that as it may, what l have seen is not a discussion forum, just a "ask and give" type of setup

Well, take this in the spirit it is being offered ...

The beauty of this thread is that people come here to learn about a specific genre - Properties/construction. You used to be able to jump in at the latest page and follow a relevant discussion. If that discussion is from someone's previous enquiry - good, you can trace it all the way back and learn something.

That is how we arrived at a discussion of your 'kuli-kuli' rain water collection system on Page 717.

Now, people land on endless pages of 'restructuring' arguments and counter-arguments' and tend to visit less.


PS: Last word on this so as not to be guilty of same tangential distraction thing I'm advocating against ;-)

Good song but could be filed under 'undistinguished rap fare' I must say. Could be anything sung by the likes of Future etc especially given the chosen baseline. Wande Coals segment was the most memorable perhaps because, dammit, I've become innured to excessive autotune (well, if you can't beat 'em ...).

So, perhaps this is good music to headbang with while cruising down the boulevard, but won't blow up in any of the Naija clubs, IMO.


Edit: Not to get too moralistic but he could have chosen a different figure/genre to glorify with song than the drug business. He just looked like an 'Agbaya' doing that. Again, IMO.

https://www.freecycle.org

Someone can easily set up a Naija group on this...

Edit: or, open up a thread here on Naija land specifically for "free construction materials" (but remember to outlaw political discussions there so it does not lose its relevance like this one appears to heading).

Daboomb:
So, if there was a website that l could just say "hey guys, free iron if you want, just bring your own transport".
That would be real cool because it could be my turn next time.

back2sender:
Please has anyone bought iron rods of recent or know the going rate now? PleAse help a brother out, I need to know the price of a ton of 12mm, 10mm,8mm rods and a bundle roll of binding wire
Thanks all much appreciated

Hope this helps. Recent price (PH)

12mm: N1,800 per length
10mm: N1,400 per length
You might have to convert to per ton.

Blinding wire: N8,000 per roll

jpphilips:
The gas gathering projects are mostly geared towards LNG expansion basically for export, you want diversification right? here it is.
the kolo creek node ended at Soku where it is channeled to LNG for export, that's the plan.

You made me go consult the diagrams. There is also a pipeline from Soku to the Eastern pipeline backbone which, yes, also goes down to the NLNG but, more importantly swings upwards towards the OB-OB link and therefore the Western system => ELPS/Lagos etc.

Educate me. I don't think FID has been reached regarding the NLNG expansion. That wouldn't be wise in current markets where spot prices dominate and it would be difficult to secure a long-term supply contract to underscore the financing.

Samliteroofing:
I have contact 08034225581 08089598942

Thanks Chief. Apologies I just saw this, and my immediate needs have been fulfilled. All I can do is keep you in mind, in case I have a following project.

Also wishing you all the best in your entrepreneurship .

COMPAQ:
Unfortunately this won't have any impact on availability of gas for power generation as its going to the export market.

Wrong. It's for the domestic market since there are no immediate accompanying plans to boost export LNG capacity. In any case, the gas sector is being liberalized to eliminate (or reduce) the arbitrage between the two markets.

At this stage, we do need all the gas we can get for our own generation and don't you know it's a tragedy hearing that Lagos could be planning LNG imports for its embedded power project.

Truth234:
http://investorsking.com/nigerias-gas-production-rises-shell-completes-project/

Thanks for the heads-up, OP.

This piece of news is more significant than it appears on the face of it. That's a lot of gas entering the system so kudos to Shell (and the Community) for quietly going about it in the face of all the other distractions.

Hi everyone. How can I estimate the number of buckets or litres of paint for the exteriors of a building. Tks

https://www.nairaland.com/2114041/segzy14-classroom-learn-more-buildings/1#35623032

How to calculate the right amount of paint ...

Reply with map (Google) coordinates if you can.

A 5 bedroom at Rukuporku area built to lintel level, occupied by squatters the area is developed.

The owner is selling now at - 6million.

cool offer.

KolaShangOne:
There stairs lead to an open space. A porch. It's open for now. I haven't seen the 3D of the building to know how the architect intends to finish up that area.

Yes I know. You can have a room or 2 in your roof, made with wood. For hiding during emergency situations (thieves) and for hiding other things.

If you have any ideas on the current job, would be glad to hear them. Even if it's something that can be considered later.

This is a bungalow. Out of interest, where do those stairs lead to? Seems it could only be a penthouse in the roof space but we don't see any skylights on the roof? And the roofing wood layout did not suggest any usable floor up there.

You know from my other thread...

https://www.nairaland.com/3750414/quick-question-roof-space-utility

... I'm very interested in roof space utility.

spyder880:
There are roofing fittings you can demand for from your roofing tiles suppliers which work to ventilate the roofing attic. Like this picture from our work in this link https://www.nairaland.com/1791485/making-port-harcourt-castle/10

I bought the roofing shingles from Wichtech (Gerrard).

Thanks once again. Didn't know this.

cc Kolashangeone

These do look good and hope, as you say, they're original NZ products. Do they come it the warranties?

Also I notice you have no contact details.

Good luck.

spyder880:
I have a boy who builds gates for me in PH. He made the gate right there on the site.

Thank you. How can we contact him for a quick survey? The access gate to a compound might need to be replaced/upgraded soon.

spyder880:
At bolded, I usually watch out for the changes in every roof I install whenever I came to the area, and I track the changes and ask questions. There was this house I completed in Ebonyi state about 4 years back, we used AYACO roof tiles, not a popular brand but I still see it as fresh and black as we installed them. No changes.

I have gone back to look at some houses we used Wichtech on, no changes yet after 5 years. There was a Wichtech roof which we use as reference in Enugu, that was the first red stone coated tiles I had ever seen, over 10 years now and still red.

As for aluminium roofing, I watch out for the durability of the colours, but what has been my remarkable experience is the types that leak or develop faults more than the others. I have found out that Metcoppo are more likely to develop leaks than any other type of aluminium roof. We check and document these changes and use them as a reference to future decisions.

Now, if Nairaland decides to start charging a subscription fee, posts like this one will make me pay.

Thanks Oga Spyder for the valuable feedback.

You got it. Beast of No Nations is his deepest, meaningfullest song IMO.

If you find yourself now scurrying to listen to it again, thank us later.

You have to follow every lyrical construction to arrive with him gbam at the conclusion that ..." our Leaders were BONN"! Did you also know that a high level UN conference was held in the City of Bonn (Germany) just before that time the song was released?

Genius!

S'funny, this morning I found myself saying "East West Bloc vs West Bloc East" in the shower this morning.

nairaman66:
The visionarian!! Beast of no nations was basically ridiculing high level politics especially the United Nations- that's why he said 'Disunited, United Nations'.

He also made mentions of VETO votes and how disjointed and hypocritical the UN was and currently is. This song is actually one of the best of Fela's musical genius but didn't get the critical acclaim it deserves because it was targeted at the west!

All hail Fela Abeg!! He revolutionized the way people look at music and life. He is the king of the underground spiritual game!

KolaShangOne:
They even paint some inside the warehouse in Ajah there.. But if they offer you 50years warranty, ask for an agreement form and let both parties sign.

That's what I tell clients that can't afford the big Three.

Thanks, abeg remind who are the 'Big 3'?

money121:
Yama-yama but some clients prefer it than Nz
Although is choice and budget...
Another mans food is another man poision..
Everything na choice..

Hope I don defend and convinced u now??

Thanks, I will avoid this one just to be on the safe side. Anyway, I'm looking for something Red/Wine in color.
