jp philips: for 15yrs you ran your home without common sense wow!!! you must be a hero ,the only reason your post should be forgiven is if it is proven that you have a poor capacity to understanding English language, anything short of that, you deserve a brain surgery.
"twice beaten bingo" shy that a lose gateman of an Abuja rich man could have taken your wife on a weekend jamboree under your roof and you have the unbridled temerity to be "beating" and "shying"?

that face book account could have been anybody for God's sake and the mother of your kids will open it for an Hiv patient in LUTH,with internet access all in the name of online boredom?

you are a fool grin

i suspect you are one of those people that inherited their wives from their late elder brothers, if not, i don't see the reason why an adult that courted and strived to build a home could not smell the sacrilege before your eyes
once again,

you are a fool

No, he didnt notice. He was merely thinking about it all through the service grin cheesy
Btw, if Lady Gaga stood right in front of you during the service, swear you would be "too busy worshippin d Lord to notice"
Christianity EtcRe: As A Christian, Does Your Dressing Really Matter ? by Meristem: 4:55am On Aug 06, 2012
Bélla3: What is your veiw? Many pastors have come out openly without same to say ur dressing doesnt matter. Does that mean a woman can dress like a prostitude and nothing is wrong with it? And a man can dress like a thief, a drunkard and drug addict and nothing is wrong with it?
The bible says, do nt behave as unbelievers, bt today so called ministers claim u can behave anyhow and dress anyhow. 'let there be modesty in everything'. As a woman u wear things that make you fake, then where is you modesty? The fact that oyinbo dresses anyhow, does that make it acceptable in our society?
This my view though, what is yours as a true christian?
Rememba, the people that were first called christains, were called because people could see dat Christ they were preaching. Is Christ reflected in your life?
(CHRISTAINS ONLY)
If you had asked: Does the way you dress NOT matter? I would have answered you!

PropertiesRe: Caught Between Paying Rents And Building A House. by Meristem: 7:49am On Jun 27, 2012
brabus: Don't be deceived into thinking home ownership is as simple as buying a car? It isn't. One wrong move, you're gone.

Here's a layman/ruggedman calculation of a simple 2 bedroom house to finishing stage.
Note: Finishing here is just basic.

Land: 300k

Shell Construction

1500 Blocks (foundation to roofing level): 180k
50 bags Cement (foundation/flooring/block setting excluding plastering): 90k
20 tonnes Gravel (foundation/flooring/casting): 35k
Sand: 50k
Iron rods, Ring, Binding Wire, Iron Bender etc: 40k on a paddy-paddy arrangement.
Carpentary works: 25k on a paddy-paddy arrangement.
Bricklayer: 70k on a paddy-paddy arrangement.

Roofing Woodwork

Planks (including internal/external ceiling nogging): 200k
Nail, wall belt etc: 8k
Carpentary work: 60k
Roofing sheet: ?

Windows, Doors and Burglar Proof

Aluminium Windows : 90k don't buy tower, use imported. Its cheaper.
Doors (5 local and 4 imported doors): 100k
Burglar Proof (Simple one using 12mm iron rod): 70k

Plumbing and Electricals

Toilet Seat x 3: 18k
Wash hand basin x 2: 5k
Shower fittings in the master bedroom: 15k
Pipes and other fittings: 30k
750l Overhead tank: 15k
Plumber: 15k

Electrical wires (lighting/socket): 50k
Socket and Switches (MEM): 25k
Distribution board: 5k
Cut-out/Fuse: 3k
Change Over box: 5k
Light fittings[i]normal lampholder in the rooms and kitchen, wall bracket and ceiling light in the living room and dining
: 35k
Electrician workmanship: 15k on a paddy-paddy arrangement

Tiles

Kitchen backsplash on kitchen sink area, and full tiles on the floor: 15k
Bathrooms tiles in floor and shoulder level in the wet areas alone: 20k
Living Room: 25k




I got to go and pick my kid in school, more updates later on Plastering, Septic Tank, Well/Borehole, Ceiling, etc

Note: the prices above is generic as a result its non-binding. Just a guide.

Stop Talking. Start Building. Build Simple.
THIS IS RAT POISON!!!! I have hands on experience on a 3 bedroom bungalow project and I swear this poster wrote this list from the warm comfort of his/her jacuzzi! I even have an excel worksheet for my job so far, estimated costs, actual costs and all. OP if you expressly request, I can forward it to you. In naija, everybody knows everything about everything! if u get started on this 15k,15k,5k list, u'd be standed with a concrete slab, an unpaid mortgage, a blown up life savings...and no house. if you dont believe me,try. So many factors determine the cost of a building, like LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION (how many times did I say that?). ***switches back to listening mode***
