Education / Review Of New Hall International School, Chevyview Estate Lekki by megacontrol(m): 8:03pm On Sep 13
Welcome to this thread..

I have created this to document reviews about New Hall International School located inside Chevyview Estate by Chevron Lekki

If you are past, current or aspiring parent or guardian of a student in either the primary or high school/college, please feel free to drop reviews about your experiences with the school.

This may include but not limited to

- Staffs (teaching & non-teaching)
- curriculum
- Extra curricular activities
- management team
- academic performance
- PTA
etc.

I believe other parents will find this useful in future to aid their decision making

Thanks bro!

It's a bit confusing though that Stone coated woodwork can work for longspan aluminum but not vice versa.

From your tips... best to just do Stone coated woodwork then. And if plan changes to longspan one will insist on the computer ridge.
Problem solved.


[quote author=money121 post=125746422]
Yes..
Stone coated woodwork can work for longspan,metcopo and steptiles the only amendment is just the ridge part.. becos aluminium ridge cap is differ from stone coated ridge cap but if you decide to make use of computer ridge you don't need to amend it..
But Aluminium woodwork can't for for stone coated

Hello guys,

Can a roof woodwork be done such that it could serve for either longspan aluminum or Gerard tiles?

If one is undecided (budget, price fluctuations etc.) on the roofing sheet to use and wants to proceed with the woodwork, how can this be done?

Of course Gerard is the preferred option, but will the woodwork spacing also work if the decision is changed to longspan? Or some adjustment will be needed?

P.S: I have always used long span for my flat roof designs in the past, this is the first time in a while I'll be doing hip roof.
Thanks

Good points, noted.

Thanks a lot for the input.

Well, it's what it is.
Technical issues might arise in future, I would advise the meter is registered with the information of the end user of such dwelling.
The developer can acquire the meter but leave it unregistered for the time being.

Good day people,

Please for build and sell houses (e.g. multi dwelling apartments/terrace etc.) who's responsible for the purchase and installation of PHCN meters?

Should the developer order and install the PHCN meters and hook up to mains power before handing over or should the buyer order sort this themselves, bearing in mind the contact details used to process the meter will always follow the asset just like with the vehicle plate registration.

Thanks as always.

This works.

I will check that dimension at the site tomorrow to see if it works for the space, I believe it should.

Not a problem if you are supplying from outside town but you have to arrange for pickup and delivery yourself to our site in good condition. Logistics is a nightmare in this business, so we prefer vendors to handle that end-to-end.

Might need up to three but will like to see one first.

What's your best price to Lekki Lagos, including installation?

Hello what size of kitchen goes for the two prices you quoted? what's the total linear meter?

The pictures you attached seem like a open plan one-side kitchen, is that the type that goes for that price range?

Thanks

I mainly use two types of boards for my kitchen setup.
standard HDF or HDF high gloss.
For Standard HDF = ₦850K . HDF high gloss = ₦1.3M

This is what y'all keep saying but is that really the case?
Does it add or takeaway from the engagements the site will get from a user if you have those enhancements?

As is, there are certain ids that one would not engage with anyways based off their content and profile. So whether you have such function(s) (ignore user, mute/block etc.) or not, they will still not get that engagement/activity from me. one would just read, sigh and waka pass.

On the other hand... since the site is text based, having a dislike/downvote bottom alongside the like will arguably create more activity around comments. because rather than skip, user may decide to express their feedback with a dislike/downvote click. thereby interacting with that post they disagree with. That will actually increase time spent and engagements while improving user experience.

At the end those that vibe with your content will engage. Others will look away.

FEGEITOK:


Nairaland needs your eyeball time, it does not have as many users as the social media heavyweights.

More eyeball time, more page loads, more revenue.

I hazard that not implementing one may be in the best interests of the business and not the user, hence the delay in getting one up and running.

Certainly not because it is not technically feasible

I think you already know/have your answer.

If the labor was quoted as per sqm, then you should be paying per sqm of what was laid just like you'll do for tiles.
You should focus on how he can measure by himself, like suggest another artisan (tiler/PoP/painter) that may be on site to help him measure. or he should invite someone he trusts.

You need to make sure he's convinced you're not cheating him.

cheers

Good practice. Which reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask since...

Do contractors (builders, POP, painters, welders etc.) get expressed permission from clients before posting pictures of their projects here or on other online platforms generally?

I know it is a good advert tool to showcase their work, just wondering if folks even bother to discuss it. considering the client may or may not even be on this forum.

Good to know.
can i see samples of your own recent work and prices? i have looked through the thread and saw some quite dated.

Need a simple minimalistic design... dark brown shade with few horizontal divider lines only, long handle, deadlock keys and sturdy hinges. all solid original materials.

also important to know long it will take.

thanks

Alright there's no problems we will device a method to work on it still. With my experience as an engineer i know it will not be a problem.

Properties / Re: **Tastefully Finished And Trusted Wooden Doors** by megacontrol(m): 3:09am On Dec 16, 2022
Tiles has been done already inside, just left the provision for the doors.
That's why the measurement provided stated after tiling.

We need to make the doors to fit.

Kindly advice if there's any issues with that.

Dubemcapital1:



If these are the sizes you need, we need to install the door frame before laying tiles then the panel will follow suit after tiles. But we can still install both the frame and the panels same time if the tyler will use Leaser level for the tiles

1.23m (W) x 2.26m (H) for main entrance after tiling and

1m (W) x 2.26m (H) for kitchen exit after tiling.

thanks

Yeah we make and install all kinds of door, what is the sizes of your door provision.

It’s quite common.

They insert some metal sheet(s) in between the wood to fortify it so you can use as main entrance/exit security doors.
Gives you the best of both worlds - form (aesthetic look) & function (security).

I’ve just not been impressed with the samples I saw from the person I had in mind.

Cheers

Interested...never knew that wood and security could be used in the same line

Sometimes REST!

Did you work on the project as a sub-contractor under him?

If yes, then you’ and others have been covered under the sub-contractor and suppliers he mentioned at the end.

If no, like I suspect, then don’t you think it’s the person that gave you the job (probably the client in this case) that you should be demanding recognition from, if at all?

Besides, what kind of vendor calls out someone for not singing their praises for a job they’re paid to do? SMH ��‍♂️

Sometimes, just resist the urge.

bolu1986:


Well done

But there is nothing wrong in also mentioning those who help make your building come out pretty well…


The electrician (Twinskenny)

The pop guy (bolu1986)

The paint supplier and painter (Gbadexy)

At least try and give a little credit to them as well…

My opinion though…

Well done

Rain gutter aesthetically pleasing?
You need to consider how that thing looks after a few years and its effect on the wall, especially the poorly installed ones.

Anyways, like they say... beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

gabbytabby:


I find this while aesthetically pleasing are not so functional cos the force of the water is too much and they collapse very quickly under pressure.

In the UK they use 4" pipes and in 9ja with our open heavens rain a lot of roof gutter are either 1" or 2"
