And we delivered yesterday to site. From the information I got, they already started working on fixing it so I will be getting the pictures by next week

Days ago I started the finishing aspect of the job by applying the body filler and painting. I was able to deliver the gate to the location of the client and he was impressed by the speed although he said I should have painted the back same color as the front. I promised him I would do that whenever I will be working on site

What is the meaning of Nigeria is not ripe? Is Nigeria a fruit?

This kind of attitude and reaction is exactly why the country is not moving forward.

Every time a good cause of action is identified to be done, we kill such initiative with baseless argument of Nigeria is not ripe.

good morning and I hope you slept well. That is my opinion and observation of the current situation of Nigeria. If it doesn't sit well with you, kindly make your own comment without responding to me. Thanks and stay safe

Another nuisance gone. Good radiance to.......

You have spoken well like a very wise man but it's very important to know that Nigeria isn't yet that matured to play this type of politics. A country where a president choose the whole service chiefs from a particular region where he also hails from should tell you how backwards we are.


Yes, your idea is good but eh.......

JustCryptos:
You are lucky. #5000 in PH

If you are close by, I'd have taken half of your stock self

less than 4k here in Nnewi and na BUA cement. Other brands are available, na your money go talk

EgunMogaji2:
So they weren’t lying that this is the best cutter.

It’s my fault I guess. Using it to cut half circle in pipe. I really needed to use a hole saw.

The blade went 50 feet before hitting a wall. I learnt a big lesson today.

I made an expandable welding table today. Can go from 2’ x 4’ to 4’ x 8’. Also stocked up with pipes.
Thanks.

before this cutter was one other cutter but I have forgotten the name and they have ruined the brand by importing fake versions. This one came in and was very cheap. While others sells for #600, it sells for #500 and yet it's stronger and more durable. It doesn't have to be expensive to be better.


Anyway before this will happen, you must have forced the angle grinder and the cutting stone to uncomfortable position and the next thing is to break. You don't force it to cut. You have to be really patient with it or risk cutting off your balls

The gate that has given and will continue giving. Just delivered to Oga Valencia2012 home this night.


We move on to the next project

omanzo02:
You deliver to Delta State then? They are neighbours.

EgunMogaji2:
Oga @michlins na so this thing dey do?

We dey find am but e no dey my area again. It's no longer available in the market

Valentine87:
How much do you sell this door and where’s your location??

this particular one is #25,000 and I have cheaper one that goes for #20,000. They all look alike but the materials make the difference. The first door is made with 1.5mm 3 by 1½ while the later is 1mm 3 by 1½

I'm in Nnewi Anambra State and can deliver to your location

Nigeria is a jungle. Small power and he feels he can Lord over motorists.

He should go and treat himself

erico2k2:
ohboi see Mehn lol I was rounding up Secondary school then, I hail Una senior Bross them!

dem never even born me sef. I dey your back dey hail you

DancingSkeleton:
Total sqm of sheets used was 546sqm instead of over 700sqm as stated by 2 roofers

what remains here is my beautiful doors which I supplied to someone here in Akure today

coldcandy:
You are becoming a good marketer here bro. You will survive well in this country.
But I'm still trying to understand the bolded. Will the 5k take the door to the owner's house in Lagos or to the motor park where he will still pay another 7k to move it to his house?

I will ensure that I get it to the closest park to your location. I can't predict what happens after that. But if the quantity of the job is much, I can arrange to have them delivered to your site. Thanks

Good evening all

If you have fixed the roads, you will have an alternative route to follow. This nonsense display of ordinary man is stupid

true2home:
Dude, i like your spirit. We go do business one of this days. Nigeria is about size of ONE state in the USA. With the help of the INTERNET, every corner of Nigeria should be able to transact business without much stress. The headache of Lagos is unwarranted IMO. Dangote dey Ogun State and other part and dey supply the whole Africa.

Lagos is the epicenter of business in Nigeria but it is overcrowded already. To get a door to from Nnewi to Lagos is #5,000. To get a door from point A to B in Lagos is above #7,000. You see the economics. So whenever you are ready, let's do business. Distance will never stop us

Having said that, only Alaska is bigger than Nigeria

erico2k2:
Nah where U come base??

Nnewi Anambra State is my current location

davodyguy:
If you're based in Lagos, with your level of enlightenment, you would have blown big time.

all of us won't be in Lagos. And yes, I will still blow from here. Shipping a door to Akure for a start and I know it's a matter of time before I expand my client base

KolaShangOne:
This gate looks like the "EgunMogaji gate".

We replicated it here about 2 years ago..

sure it is. My client saw and liked the gate and asked me to make one for him. Here's the current level I'm at now. Painting should start tomorrow afternoon

Biko my own is to that make the cost of cement fall.
In other news, the burglary y'all want is attached. You can always open and close it at will

So the owner of the gate observed some errors on the gate and asked that I fix them. Got to work and set out to correct them and he liked how it turned out.

We already started with the finish works. By today, I intend to start applying the body filler.

The smaller gate has few stuff to fix

Happy Sunday everyone. Let's secure your house with beautiful iron works

Nigeria doesn't have a working government. No regulator. We're on autopilot.

Sorry to the affected staff

LegendAnselm:
what am telling happened yesterday. in nnewi. i just left the house because of fear

which part of Nnewi let me go and confirm the story

zuraking:
michlins. Noted. Can we use this particular one you are doing for bungalows too?

no sir. We can use 4 by2" for bungalows. It will carry a single 1000 gallons tank on top

diordaves:
Looks well built, stable and secure. Kudos. Was a enough thought given to the height as well?

it's a duplex and the standard height is usually 25 -26ft but he doesn't want to hear stories and went straight for 28ft.

n3xt:
Even FG project is on hold.

I was shocked when I saw what’s left inside our store yesterday.

_____
The real issue is there are too many ongoing projects. People are seriously buying despite the price increase.

According to stats, Lafarge made more sales during this crisis. Even the Channel Partners.

Despite the scarcity, I’ve received over 13 trailers between Nov and Dec.

what I have observed is that once there's inflation in the economy, people ten to build more probably because their cash savings is dropping in value daily. Just imagine you had about #50ml in savings two months ago,by this weekend when compared to the $$$ you're worth less but if you invested the money in real estate, you are more protected.
This is my layman's understanding of the economy and no one should ask me to defend it oh

And we're done with the tank stand. The gate is coming up nicely. The owner had some observations about the gate which I intend to correct once at work later today but aside that, he's greatly impressed

negy2016:
@michlins pls wat is the cost of the water stand

Dijita:
This is nice.
Please how much is this for a bungalow?

I was told it is more prudent to use the concrete stand in the beach to avoid rust as a result of salt from the sea. What is your recommendation? My project is about half mile to the sea

definitely. For a bungalow, you will have to use 4 by 2" H channel. I believe you will be using a single 1000 gallons tank.

One4me:
.
I keep liking you the more. You are quick and direct with your jobs.
The Sky is your limit, if you keep going at this pace.
Can we see a closeup picture of the joints of that tank Stand, and in all what was the cost for the setup (tank Stand)

Even your Gate is coming up good.

Just remember to keep a level head, when things start going good for you.
Always remember that first day you came here and we tackled you very hard
Dont be like those who say "Danger Over, God forgotten".
More Grease to you elbow Bro. and thanks to @gbadexy who gave you the first shot, with that single door

I will never forget what @gbadexy did for me here. In the story of my success,he will always be remembered as the person who gave me the first push. To do this tank, I gave the owner two options of using 5 by 3 or 6 by 3" channel and he choose the later. The cost of making it is #650,000 for the later and #570,000 for the later. The attached image is for the foundation joints. You will observe the use of clits at the different joints

zuraking:
are tank stand more better than the build and cast? I have been confused which of them I will do.

this is definitely and miles ahead of cast. This can be moved from its current position to another. All you need to do is loosen the bolts holding the tank on the foundation. But that's not the main reason, the channels are made to last for decades so you definitely have nothing to worry about.

I greet everyone here oh. Una do well. So the tank stand has been completed and the owner was very much impressed with the timely delivery.

The gate is under development. I intend to finish it by Monday and probably deliver on Wednesday

n3xt:
You’ve made your point bro and I understand you perfectly.

No one uses angle iron to make slats. Check online and see what we are talking about.

If the specification is pipe, don’t recommend angle iron just because you can’t make it work like others.

This is exactly the typical “this is how we do it naija” mindset we are talking about.

you don't understand subject of discussion. Slats will be pipe. Framing the gate or any other one should be angle bars. Use angle bars to frame the gate especially those areas that goes to the wall and floor because they are most exposed to rusting. You can use pipes anywhere else
