I planted more flower, trees and even a garden inside the compound. I just love to be seeing a lot of plants inside my compound.

Nature at its best... Thanks for the idea...

Honestly, my thought initially was usefulness of the space for business... But I think I will follow your foot step too... Nature is great...

No its not. I promise to invite you next time Sir. Let me look for pictures from my own house opening in my village, December2017. It's a weekend so I can unwind with some old memories.

I remember the day like it was yesterday, my inner family cooking and entertaining, my community gathered inside my compound, men of God praying and declaring blessings, friends and family members wishing us a peaceful enjoyment of the new house.


More wins Oga spider... the compound big o...

What can be done in such big compound to make it useful.. As mine too is something similar...

Borehole service prices differs from location to location...
With my personal experience on borehole wahala on this trend... I would advice any client that want to drill borehole to make use of the Indian rig drillers....
The go to any length you want them to go to.. and their charges is base on the depth you willing to go.. or the depth given during priliminary investigation by a geotechnical engineer..

It will interest you to know that they drill at a flare rate of 8k to 10k per meter... ( price including Casing Pipe)
Another advantage is that they finish all the drilling in less than 2 to 3 hours...
Another advantage is that they don't care the kind of material under the ground( Stone, coal, hard rock).. They break through all at the same rate above...

The only problem I see with then is that they don't do less than 30meter drilling base on logistics reasoning.... But any thing above 30meters ( 100feets)....they are very readily to come to your site...

I did 40meters for site and paid 350k... they finished it on 1 hour...

the same bore site I was charged same 350k.. and took forever for them to drill here on thread... God purnish devil...

Lolall:
Builders in the house please weigh in.

At the start of my project my builder billed me for 215 bags of cement. I assumed this would cover the entire project (putting up a 3 bed flat that the foundation had already been laid and adding a room to the bq already at the back of the property).

However we've gotten to the tiling and now he's saying I need to pay 250k extra for cement, sand, etc to tile the new apartment. (According to him the tiling for the bq was included in the 215 bags).

Please is this accurate or is he trying to pull a fast one here?

Thanks.
Is your fault sir...
The mistake you did was that you didn't have a eye on sight to monitor the use of cement....
or better still you should have buy the cement yourself, store it.. and give the man in batches has the work continues....
These are common mistake builders make when they underquote to get jobs...

Solution.. is to buy the 250k next batch cement yourself and monitor strictly before he comes back again that you need to buy more again....

My 2cent..

Good afternoon senior men,

I have a question, is it true that after roof woodwork one needs to wait some days before placing zincs?

I am being advise to wait days because when the woods start drying with zinc on them, it tends to affect the zinc

Such advice is not correct.... You are free to cover any wooden rafter after installation....
it has no meaning.... the best time to drive a nail into a wood is when it is fresh so that the grip to the nail forms a kind of grip when it drioes...

Makee sure the woods are well treated with wooden chemicals preservatives in a right ratio.. ( Solidgum, anti termite, engine oil and the rest)...

I wouldn't advice you wait till retirement before executing this idea.
Lay ur hand on whatever you can afford now that ur blood is still hot and your bones are very strong sir.
Thanks for the advice my Oga.. Each time I tell my colleagues I want to retire earlier than the mandatory 35 years in service or 60years age which ever comes first... the way they look at me is very funny... They say that is when I could see more kick backs in the service... Naija mentality again... cutting corners even in the service.... We all to blame...

However, on your advice... time shall tell... naija is still a case study...

Plant and machinery hiring business is huge bro. Instead of chasing small businesses, why not focus on large corporations that’ll not give you stress.

One of my big bro was doing Lafarge before he finally retired into hotel business. Now he’s doing stuffs with Nestle.

Hiring to Large Corporations is a good idea... Thanks so much.. I am working towards it...

Someone up above told me not to speculate and to allow the "government magic panel" to finish.

Sorry but I grew up in a place where we can speculate without waiting for government magic to occur. Private engineers are already doing their own research and publishing.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRRKDW4YCWA

BROS,,, THE PRIVATE ENGINEERS CAN ONLY SPECULATE... MOST OF THEM HAVE NOT EVEN VISITED THE SITE....

Professionally, Many Test would be carried out on the rubbles on site and Many investigation on the daily/ monthly Engineering reports, the construction process and documentations on the site.... all will be investigated.....

Also, dont forget that Engineering Professionals were also on the project before it came down..... they all need to be investigated...

JUMPING INTO CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE WONT BE A GOOD IDEA.....

I can tell you more than 5 things that could go wrong..... But as a professional, i need to be sure which one of the 5 really caused the collapse...

With Time, All will be revealed...

in building and construction, builders and project owners need to know cutting corners have is own fall back.

They wont still hear .... My encounter so far reveals that everyone is hungry,.. everyone want to take as mush as possible home.. even the engineers themselves are not left out....

solutions to the problem is when appropriate sanctions is given to engineers and developers or clients that refuse to work accordingly to the building approval that is gotten on a project..
