It's surprising that the good Samaritan that offered to take the doors in the first instance hasn't stepped forward to take up this second opportunity that presented itself. That would put the issue to rest, irrespective of weather lessons were learnt or not. #LFI 4 Likes |

Hello, You’ve mentioned multiple times in your responses that she got daily progress updates, one question only…. Did you at any time show a pictures of BOTH sides of the door? Either the sample she selected or hers during work-in-progress? Like two pictures of the same door, one showing the designed front and the other showing the plain back? michlins: 6 Likes 1 Share |

Pls I need 100 bags of cement to be supplied to a site in Lekki Phase 1 today (or latest tomorrow morning). Others are not willing to do less than 300 but we don’t have provision for storage on site. Is there anyone here that can deliver 100 bags? Thanks |

Guys, Quick question on doors and door installation. E.g. Say in preparation for a 900mm flush door in future... 1/ what should the subframe width made to? 2/ what should be the effective door opening space left after plastering/dressing the subframe into place? Thanks 1 Like |
Properties / Re: Choosing Appropriate Board For Your Furniture Works by megacontrol(m): 9:30am On Aug 06, 2021 |
Hello, quick question on these subframes... How much extra should width should be added to the block opening to accommodate the door frame and door itself? For example, if the plan is for a 900m (3ft) flush door, then how wide should the space be AFTER the subframe is plastered and dressed? Same goes for a 750mm toilet door, what should be the width of the subframe? Thanks Person2person: |

You guys are not saying exactly the same thing; You said you offered to pay the borehole guy 50k to complete but you didn't go ahead with that plan cos the client wasn't around to supervise the work. @micgray100 says he is/was willing to pay the 50k balance (which is even a wrong move altogether) but the borehole guy said categorically that won't be enough to finish the job. Two different things. The worst part is both of you are not even speaking offline. And when you come online you're not on the same page. At this point you are the one that can end all this and stop it from degenerating further... If truly you offered to pay the 50k balance, I suggest you add an extra 50k to make up the 100k which the client has been magnanimous to accept as full and final settlement. That way, ALL the parties to the transaction would have made some reasonable sacrifice and you can all move on. Cased closed. And if you're still so confident in your efforts with the NPF, then you can choose to continue the wild goose chase and get your money back from there if it eventually works out. twinskenny: 2 Likes |
Properties / Re: Is Estate Levy Fee Compulsory By Nigerians? by megacontrol(m): 4:59pm On Jul 31, 2021 |
Capital NO! They have no case under the particular arrangement which you have described. but you have tov know the technicalities involved to be able to oppose such arm twisting. I'm certain the new "management" knows but they always try to bulldoze their way through first knowing that most don't know their right, and when they do they are reluctant to stand up for it. Unless there is mutual benefit to me and it is convenient, I wouldn't accept such. I agree estates are good and have their benefits when intended as such from onset, but this kind of micky mouse arrangee is one I wouldn't accept. angieoluwa: |

Car Talk / Re: Advise: Nigerian Used SUV To Buy with N4m. Help Choose From These Options by megacontrol(m): 8:59am On Jul 20, 2021 |
This is exactly how i feel about this. It is a big gamble to spend a whole 4m on a naija used vehicle, unless you know the history of the vehicle and it's user. As in, you I when the vehicle was purchased, how they used and maintained it etc. E.g. a sincere friend or family member that owns such vehicle and is relocating, hence wants to sell off. Even at that, I'll still be skeptical. Anything outside this is a no no for me. He should step down a little and buy an outright toks in good condition. @MrBlock Cokahot: 1 Like |

Don't let anyone cower or bully you into silence. When they complain, tell them to apply same energy to their favs doing same. Your product is paint, which is DIRECTLY related to the thread, unlike some others. It's here I learnt that even tomatoes can be hawked here since it is cooked in the kitchen, which is part of a house. lolz When similar observations were made in the past about others, the general sentiment was to "live and let live". It is now a free for all marektplace, SO PLEASE CARRY ON! Cheers. Valuepaints20: 1 Like 1 Share |

Just know that it won't be a new business entry into the industry. A few of those companies already exists at different levels in the industry, particularly in the Lagos market. The issue is that most can't scale and they're really not necessarily cheaper at the end of the day. If you take a wholistic view of your project, formwork/metal shutter hire in any form is not cheaper. The thing is that people just let you the customer take a myopic view when doing comparison. I think I came here in Dec/Jan looking for shutters to hire and offered a typical job to be used for comparison sake. In reality, i found out that the price-setters adjusted their prices upward to match the general increase in building materials. And those are shutters they've had in inventory. We tried shutters for that stage of the project and it wasn't sustainable for the remainder. We've since gone back to buying new or neatly used plywood/marine boards. They are also not always neater than your plywood. Some deformed shutters leaves you with bulge worse than planks. diordaves: 2 Likes |
Properties / Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by megacontrol(m): 1:52pm On Jun 24, 2021 |
To give some perspective to support your last paragraph... I bought some neatly used plywood from various sources at a fraction of the market value, used them multiple times (some twice, others 3x) and can still easily sell them or continue to reuse. At the end of the day, it is more cost effective to buy (even for the ones i bought at full cost) wood than hire shutters/formwork unless you own the formwork. Guys should not get it twisted cos most of the time they're not being told the full gist to make a fair comparison. spyder880: 3 Likes |
