We manage your waste in a Bio system called Biodigester

A biodigester is a system that biologically digests organic material, either anaerobic (without oxygen ) or aerobically (with oxygen).

Anaerobic digestion, or methanization, uses the process of fermentation to break down organic matter from animals, plants or sewage to produce biogas. The process takes place within a centralized system in a unit called an anaerobic digester, also known as a biogas reactor or a biodigester.

There are installers there are installer,
Call on MICRAFT BIODIGESTER we are professional in our installation 08130300747

Hian, the big masquerade of Ibadan kingdom, I dey jare, and l think Hajj Mufutau55 is considering contesting to be the Governor of Ogun state and also eyeing a Federal Post at the National level in 2023 to be made the Federal Minister of land and housing, all fingers crossed for Hajj Mufutau to be elected either as a Governor or Federal Minister and Egunmogaji will be appointed as the Special MARSHALL ( with koboko) for Country wide enforcement of building codes in Nigeria.

Hahahahah, trust me if we have those characters of Hajji Mufutau in affairs of government like he do here, in Nigeria. Things will turn around for better in shortest time. He is no nonsense man in every aspect of his life. Egundimeji Special Marshall for code enforcements opari, no more shortcut to quality.

Hummmmmm , Egun what is your intention for listing these names. I've do business with 8 of these names. Vendors or contractors over the years. My experience with some of those name ehen, you can give them your millions and go to bed without any drama. Our granpa Hajji mufutau can write book on each of these name for good services, average, fantastic, and ugly services. I can assure you the book will be a bestseller on amazon.

You can pay what your conscience dictates

But Simple economics is the reason . Don’t ever compare wages in a 20 plus trillion economy to one of about 400 billion . It’s for that same reason every job in the usa or much of the west pays multiple times better than same category of jobs in nija , maybe 20 to 30 times

I see a lot of people display this ignorance , including professionals when they start comparing there wages to counterparts in the west

How do you compare wages in an economy of 60k dollars gdp par Capita to that of nigeria at 2k dollars , even china wages are much lower than usa

A cleaner in the usa will earn more , same with teacher , police and every other job ,
There is only one abnormally in nija to this rule for obvious reasons . I leave people to guess

Brother, there is no need to start this debate. You just mentioned the reason why most low paying manufacturing jobs move to China, low wage with man power state of the art infrastructure. Please help me ask the brother, let's assume he makes $180,000 per year, out of that amount after paying his mortgage, car insurance, utility bills, health insurance, gas per weekly, food and all unforeseen bills, like parking tickets, or even traffic moving velation. I purposely don't include income tax which an average of 18% of your take home weekly or by weekly. How much did he take home at the end of the year? Egun is here with many living wetness. I laugh in Spanish, I don't even what to talk of fuel that raise form $45 per week to $68x4 in my state. Again how many people even make that much? Average USA median household income as of 2019 is 68,703 which many of these families in many states in USA qualified for government assistance. These numbers represent 70% of Americans. I forgot to mention that the federal law require you to pay 30% of your income as your annual rent. Please tell me how much is left after all those deductions? I rest my case.

somehow:
Once you apply for it, they won't bring it but automatically moves you to estimated billing for the time being.

The question is how long? I'm one of the lucky one, average estimated bill in my Ikorodu { 3 } 2 bedroom apartment is 8k per apartment per month. 21 hours light par day. Aboru not bad as well with pre pay meter, went through hell before secured the pre pay. Is so crazy you wont believe my friend paying 15k-18k pay month for his 4 bedroom duplex epileptic power supply in Okota, Its even worst with another friend in Festac town average crazy bill per month is 20k for darkness

diordaves:
The tiles go support the weight of the tanks so?

Same question come to my mind

EgunMogaji2:
On a serious note they do have nice structures.

I went to an estate off of that Ogombo and I near broke my neck from looking left and right at massive homes.

Please for anyone that feels there’s no money in Nigeria please double your hustle,

Hahahahaha, double your hustling in right way ni ooo. You didn't see anything brother. Ogombo is not one of the prime market in that axis. From Ajah 55 kilometers to Epe Dangote T junction, both left and right of that express is the new Lagos. You better go lay siege towards Epe before it's to late. All those mansion's you saw there, some of those guys brought these places over 15 years ago.

Infact it’s serious issue oo
Now ordinary labour (helper ) collecting 3500-4500
Bricklayer 4500-5000 per 5-6hrs

My supplier called me this morning that TMT tiger rod is now 470k per tn

Rotech, I pay more that far back 2017 for one of the electrical Engineer here. It gets my attention when the guys started complaining, this is after his professional fee. This is to show how some of these Engineers are so greedy.

EgunMogaji2:
Both of these pieces came from Dynasty Furnitures. A Chinese furniture manufacturing company in Lagos.

Solid wood was important to me instead of H/MDF.

Egun, can you please share the address or website of this furniture manufaturing.

spyder880:
Well done Sir, I actually enjoy your close supervision and attention to details. Congratulations.

It should not be a suprise to anyone, why do you think we complain the best of Nigerian antisan is not good enough, Many of them won't even want to take corrections, all you hear is Oga na so we the doham here. We can see for ourslevels what a good finishing looks like. Egun must have go through hell with his antsan to achived this good finishing.

EgunMogaji2:
Instead of making a new thread I decided to just put my lessons learnt on here. This is not an all inclusive list and will be updated as I remember stuff. Thanks.

——————————-

* Think carefully about locating the house on the property and the setbacks. Once the foundation is laid then it’s relatively too late.

* Review your architectural plan to make sure it’s effective for you. In hindsight I should have placed my BQ under the main house.

* I originally hated embedded burglary but it’s the greatest thing now to me after sliced bread. Of course no burglary at all would be better.

* Sink your borehole as early as feasible.

* Get a concrete electric pole instead of wood. At least the pole in front of your house.

* Get a real roofing carpenter that’s experienced.

* Use .50mm roofing panel. Cost is negligible and it’ll bring peace of mind.

* Leave making blocks to the professional builders. For single one off build just buy good blocks.

* Use 9” blocks for foundation and perimeter walls. Then 6” blocks as partition.

* Stone dust blocks are an overkill for most buildings. Especially single story in non riverine areas.

* Introduce pillars as well as a round beam for bungalows.

* Select an experienced aluminum window fabricator. You will see and touch your windows every day.

* It’s your house so make sure that your builder gets your buy in before making any changes to your plan.

Update

* Keep your site clean throughout the construction stage. Let vendors know they are responsible to cleanup after themselves during the bidding process.

Egun thanks for sharing your hand on exprince, just saw it

Here in US, What I see these artisans and handy men do is that they normally come with ordinary old blankets, especially the painters and woodworkers . Before they start, they cover the whole floor with those blankets. I think the reason they don’t use paper or nylon on the floor is because those are not tough and could tear. Remember also that the floors here are usually hardwood. They don’t want to scratch it either. That one na big gbese for their head. The furnitures are moved, and cover with polyethylene (nylon) if they are closed by.
Once they are done with the work, they gently roll up the blankets and take with them. And the blankets are reusable.
You won’t even know that a major work was done in that space.

They last guy I called for HVAC even had to wear shoe cover over his shoes. He didn’t even want his workshoes to touch the floor.

Artisan in Nigeria could do the same. Old okrika blankets at Yaba are almost free. Get a few and these blankets could be used a couple of times before they are due for replacement

Artisan's that don't even care about themselves safety, they prefer to spend most of their income to buy pepper soup, Suya, and girls, instead of buying better tools that will help them for next job. Na them go buy blanket for your job, my brother even when you buy them safety boot for concrete work. You still have to forced it on some of them to wear them. Abeg

Engineer Alfa well-done good job. Please display your job here ones a while, kelode with you guys?

sonnie10:
True sir. When I was doing my roofing, I consulted an old friend who is into construction and he said to me;
There are woods from Taraba that if you cut a piece and drop it into termites or anthill they will all abandon that space. But it comes with a premium price tag.

I beg waiting be the name of that wood, I heard Tababa state as one of the strongest hard wood serving SE of the county Oga Spyder you can tip in on this one as King in axis.

EgunMogaji2:
They went at it until 5PM. I just think it’s inconsiderate and I would never subject my future neighbors to that though it’s Nigeria that’s doing it to us all.

All of this is just to save Omo Onile fees.

Your frustration start making sense. I don't think the owner is even aware they are drilling his borehole at nigh. You don't want to know how much its cost me when a delivery truck drive to me site per day because of these miscreants Omo Onile. Some of them can kill because of 5k naira my brother, the day I saw it with mine korokoro eyes when my driver is arguing with them when we follow truck to site. My brother when one of them shattered bottle in the head of the truck driver, they are asking him for 4k I end up giving them 8k not to kill this guy. Since then no more augments ooo, I become gentle man around them.

mufutau55:
And wait until 10yrs reach and you need repairs, the up and down go frustrate you to buy a new one.

Hajji M.

True talk, all those long years of warranty are scam. Those technology will be outdate before those ten years. You wont even find the parts, the will then tell you to add more money to get the latest technology. When you do, the difference wont make any sense. Please shine your eyes, be reminded that you're are giving those sales people money. Those warranty fees, sales people get some percentage of it as their bonus, that is why they we do anything to convince you to buy warranty. I know this from a friend, use to be reginal store manager. He managed 45 stores across States

Why most nigerians do die without a will
1)Ignorance, most believe WILL is meant for the very wealthy people and that their family would share what's left accordingly.
2) Ignorance again, Most people do not factor in "Death" to their day to day activities, we've all forgotten DEATH can come in at anytime so they live and postponed the "will" to the critical moment.

You can start preparing your WILL the very moment you start earning your first money and you can always EDIT as you grow.

True talk, @bold. Death is like closing your eyes to take 5 minutes nap. It' with HIS grace to open your eyes again. If we factor it, we won't have all those ritual killing, cheating, oppressing, government officials stealing our resources, and get rich overnight syndrome that is ravaging our society. The Muslims and Christians leaders that are suppose to preach morals in our society when government fails in his responsibilities, are the ones fueling those immorality behavior in our society, by accepting donations and preaching prosperity without job. Imagine preaching, then receiving alert in your account without working; you do this because you're expecting payment.

Dennis3D:
We have successfully completed the first floor decking of this project. We used 55 Tons of Granite.
2 Trips of 25 Tons Sharp sand. 132 Bags of Cement.

Well-done, cement price no joke at all, imagine using over 3 trucks of 400 bags per truck for one project.

folmus:
Thank you very much!!

My experience with submersible pumps, original Interdab1hp never disappoint in last 15 years when I brought the first one even since, is still the best in my experience with their output capacity. I bought couple of them for different locations since then. Either Russian or Italian made. The last one I brought pumped 10,000liters in less than 20 mins with over 95 meter depth of borehole, if it's not commercial borehole I don't think the guy needs to 2 hp, .75hp to 1hp is good enough to pump over 100 meters in my opinion

folmus:
With your experience, you must have spent more than 2m.

I spend more then that in one of my location 6 years before I bring LARWIN in to make fresh report and start allover after 2 failure. He never drill for me but his report show us the way among 4 different reports I paid for, he did couple other reports for me in different locations without knowing whom I am till date. He came from Ibadan then, I don't know if he still reside there.

spyder880:
But first we have to plaster the walls directly above the roof area, this is to be done now before we start roofing this house. We don't need cement stains on the new roof. ........

Wow this design is amazing, I've never pay attention to the design before. The ample space on the rooftop area is big enough to host rooftop party, smart design. I hope that little room is designed to carry the load of the water tank. I am not a fan of flat roofs but you're making me think otherwise. Is this design modified from the original one or we just haven't opportunity to see what the rooftop looks like at the beginning? This your new plastering guy take the finishing to higher level ooo, bravo to the new team. Is this building next street neighbor to the tall bungalow elephant king in the front gate

spyder880:
That's my new plastering team for 2022. Expect a lot of improvements in our finish as from now. I have another job for them after this house.

What happened with the previous team

Best idea, that is exactly what I did

Joesaza:
I got 2 quotations for conduit piping from 2 different plumbers for a 6 bedroom duplex with 6 full baths (all ensuite) and 1 half bath(guest toilet). Which of the quotes seem to be accurate. Both plumbers visited the site to take measurements.

Are you saying there is 1, 209,600 difference between the 2 plumbers quotation? If I'm right, shine your eyes with that low quote.

EgunMogaji2:
I had the opportunity to sit inside a colonial era courthouse at Iyaganku couple of weeks ago.

Even in mid afternoon with no AC or fan I marveled at the breeze flowing through and keeping the temperature very moderate.

Upon closer examination I noticed lots of windows, oversized windows, windows shaded from the direct heat of the sun. I saluted those colonial era architects.

I wanted to take pictures but I remembered that American embassy won’t necessarily assist law flounders of sovereign nations

Life is simple when you keep rule anywhere you find yourself @ bold, that is what many of our youth find difficult to do when they find themselves outside the shore of Nigeria. They end up destroying their future.

Chriswazo:
Hello guys, Happy Sunday..

Please I need advise.

I bought my family land and would want to construct a house immediately on it.

Someone suggest I do the C of O after building a house and is better because the C of O will reflect also the value of the house, in case of government destruction tomorrow and need to be compensated by the Government or as collateral for banks..

My surveyor disputes this and says it means nothing, that is better to do it now if I have the money. Building a house does not give more value to a C of O before bank and govt, that in most cases, is just land that is seen and not property situated on the land.


I need advise please, which is better and is there any difference?? Do governments and banks compensate or estimate Ur collateral based on the property valuation of Ur C of O or just the land value C of O??

I hope my question makes sense

Please do yourself a favor if you can afford all the fees, its gives you rest of mind. As to the question @bold it's does on both. If you build any property without proper government documents and paid fees. God for bit if anything happen in future yes it's may be very difficult for you to proof ownership or clam compensation from government. We most always try to do thing the right way like this subject matter, NOT finished building before submitting plain for approval.
