redgem: Yeah....that was what I told him but he doesn't understand.... Is there like a picture? I can not find the picture. Here's the best solution towards this thing, let him use materials he trust that will do the job cause if you tell him what you think is the best and anything happens,he will blame you for insisting on the choice of materials. Just provide him with the funds and allow him to do the job to the best of his ability |

Tell him to use 4¾" H beam and then negotiate. redgem: Good morning Sir....please about the steel, I've spoken to him and he said he wants to use 2mm steel but there is one higher and it is only for duplex it's been used(it comes in pieces and they just weld them together) ... Please, is this okay? Can the 2mm steel carry over 4000L? Or is there another option? |

redgem: Good evening Sir.... It is not about the money, it is about his work...with what I've read, steel is better than galvanized pipe and it's more expensive.. The amount I'm paying (350k...I've paid 200k and will pay the remaining balance after he is done) which I believe will cover for steel but he decided to use a cheaper material...
I didn't want to go with him initially because of the nonsense door he made for me but I had no other choice cos he is closer to the site.. do not accept galvanised pipe unless he has access to decommissioned pipelines else you're buying risk |

redgem: Good evening Michlins your advice is needed please...
I already have 2100L tank at the site and intend to buy another 2100L to place on the stand...
So, here is the issue, I totally forgot to give the welder this information, only to remember this evening. To cut the long story short, he said the stand can't carry 2 of 2100L except 2 of 1500L at the top and that it can only carry 2100L in the middle... I asked him why and he said cos he is using 2m galvanized pipe whatever and we've already agreed on price @350... 200k has already been paid so please, what can be done now?
Note: we never discussed about what materials to be used cos I know nothing about it, I just told him that I needed an 18ft tank stand and he sent me the pictures below This work is almost finished and if he says it cannot be installed,then leave it at it. The initial dimensions he worked with is the probably the reason it can not carry it or maybe the structure can not carry such weight |

Romance › Re: New Marriage About To Crash. by michlins(m): 1:00pm On Aug 10, 2023 |
Ehinjuola: My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.
My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.
It's not that he is not talking to me or we are fighting, but he is not the cheerful happy person anymore.
After months of trying to get what the problem is, he finally opened up to me and I don't know what my fault is, I think he is overreacting.
My husband works in an insurance company and he is just a junior staff, he earns 150k per month, so he is not doing that bad.
When we wanted to get married, my dad wrote the wedding list and everything he would bring, when he saw them, he fumed that they were too much and they should reduce it but my dad insisted that he won't collect it twice, I also told him if he really loves me, he would provide them, he could get help from his family too, it is called bride price and other things, and it is once.
We had little issue then but he later resolved it.
He brought everything they ask him for
During the wedding, my parents told him to buy a cow, rent a hall and decorate it then they'll take care of other things. He said he didn't have money for a big hall and he would prefer a field ground but my dad insisted that rain could disrupt things and he has many people coming.
That almost cause issues too, I had to support him with 50k to get the hall because I know who my dad is, he won't back out.
I didn't know how he did it, he took the hall and designed it, he bought cow too.
His family brought food and everything went fine and that was it.
I don't know what was keeping him moody until he spoke up.
He said I couldn't fight for him, I was there supporting my parents and watch them extorting him, did I even know he had to collect loan to pay for those things?
I got angry because he used the word 'extorting'.
He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.
After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.
I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.
Have I said something wrong?
I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.
I am tired, I don't know what to do. your marriage already ended |

slimfit1: Only a fool will buy it at the moment, the need for oil is dying so fast these days. Dangote must have realised that he was over ambitious building this current one. The refineries are not going to be ready in December because building or repairing repairing it doesn't work like repairing a car. Tinubu is just waiting on Dangote then when Dangote refinery kicks they will change their speech, how its not necessary to repair the refineries because it is costly they'll do a deal with Dangote. you people are just talking nonsense with pride always. Crude oil will keep powering economies for decades and even centuries. At this point, there's no cheaper alternative that is clean and not damaging the environment |
