Shut up, if he had embezzled the money and didn't build this flyover would you have gone to arrest him?

Oversabi people

Other governors are doing nothing with their money, what have you done?

you sound very defeated and willing to accept your defeated position. Relax biko

AwkaFinest:
Jealousy people, if na their state them go make noise

you should be ashamed of this if you know how much this states accrues monthly as royalties and tax form oil companies

You guys bragged harder than this preelection period. This is like the Atiku server theory. Trump lost as he should

I have the MaxTech 300amp.

saw that. It's around 35k but it requires a very big generator which I don't have now. The petrol generator which I use at home is what I intend to pair it with. 3600 model

Thanks to everyone who advised me on what to everyone who advised me on what to look out for while buying inverter welding machine.

Went to the market today and saw one being tested, asked for the price and why it's better. The maxtech was cheaper than the one in picture. The price is #27,500 and the capacity is 200 amps.

Cc Egunmogaji2, N3XT and all others. Thanks again

If 40k can get it, let me know

Good evening everyone. Just coming back from site of a Nairalander where I'm doing a tank stand.

Meanwhile in another news,as my tradition with oga Valencia20 in keeping all my dealings with him public. He's paid me to start making a gate for him when he's ready for it. Attached is pictures of the gate in question and the materials we took to the site of the member

With the proliferation of power bank countrywide and persistent epileptic power supply, it would make sense if solar power bank was marketed. I may have a power bank with USB cord attached to it but it might be difficult to recharge it when it is exhausted.

will you be willing to pay about #100k for a power bank

One4me:
Good man you, for remembering to come back to inform us.
Otherwise na to mobilise to @aheadahead house.

hehehehehehehe. Thanks once again for watching my back

EgunMogaji2:
That lock I bought was N3,600 The one I really want is N9,500 but a man has to know his limitations

na that same limitations make me use that kpalasa key

And what's wrong with what she said. I never even price plane ticket so it's an achievement in a country like ours. Many will live and die without entering an airplane sef

Destroying that hospital is the biggest stupidity by any human. If you don't like it, leave it as it is and another government might like it.

Small cough and you will run abroad but will destroy the hospital used by ordinary people. I know it's not equipped and functional yet but a private company can be called to equip and manage. Not only will government be making money to sponsor their ostensious lifestyle, ordinary people like me can stop self medication and jobs created

spyder880:
Good morning Sir, I had the plans to paint the lower portion with a different colour when I started this building, I even placed the belts at a height to separate my lower colour with the paint for the rest of the house. It was the decision by my clients to fill up the compound so we can redirect rain water flow to the outside that swallowed the lower portion of the house. (See attached pictures of my wall separator as we were still building, see how high it was.)

Tiling the lower portion is good, but some people dont like the different look, plus the as compared to painting the lower portion, also consider the cost of extra tiles round such a big house. The rain water issue on the lower walls is a temporary issue, made worse because of the type of brown sand that was used on filling the flower bed when the rains were still falling heavily in the rainy season. I had wanted to delay that painting till the rains stopped, I am sure the staining cannot happen next rainy season if the flowers grow enough to absorb some of the impact of the rain hitting the ground around the walls. Then again, we decided to install the water collector much later, if we had put the water collector when it was raining, the water would have been channelled away from the walls.

The good news is that I have bought paints and we plan to repaint the lower portion with gray. Now would have been the proper time to paint thie whole outside walls, not then.

Thanks for your suggestions Sir, I appreciate your inputs a lot. Happy weekend Sir.

when professionalism meets candour

michlins:
Good evening people. I'm meeting with aheadahead20 at Asaba tomorrow. This is for safety and caution. Thanks for looking out for us people

I want to confirm that I have left the site of aheadahead20. Thanks to everyone who looked out for me

One4me:
I like your determination and faith.

On the Openable Burglary, that Lock you used 'no-be-am' at all, because you will need a padlock on it and even that Padlock will be accessible from outside and wont be easy to open in an emergency like fire outbreak.
What l think will be okay is:
- Single action, open-system (press/lift a latch and Spring open).
- Latch/Lock should not be visible or accessible from outside
- Be at height where it is accessible to a Child of about 5yr old

But you have made a good start and you can only get better.
Welldone Sir.

see eh. Budget determines a whole lot of things. Tell someone to buy a jam lock key of about 5k for a burglary of about 10k.

You see the economics of the whole thing. I grab your point but the owner of the job determines a whole lot of things. There's this key Egunmogaji2 took a photo of, that's the best thing that will work on such but ask him for the price of the lock to understand the difficulties.

I may not be able to keep updating this thread on a daily basis but I'm still working. Here's a sample of a job a Nairalander want me to work on if we can agree on the pricing

Good evening people. I'm meeting with aheadahead2020 at Asaba tomorrow. This is for safety and caution. Thanks for looking out for us people

One4me:
Before l mention names, trusted names, it will be good to know where your project is located.
If in the East/South-South, l will say Spyder
If it is anywhere above Lokoja (Up North), l will say[b] Abduilwastecx[/b], if it is after the Niger Bridge down South West, l will say[b] Aventures, Segzy[/b] and one other name that l cant remember right now.
Archy? Dareynx
Paint? Gbadexy is your sure bet
Material Costing and Project management? Hail QSfemi
Electrical? Topsy
Plumbing and the likes? Rotech
CCTV? Twinskenny
Tiles and bathroom stuffs? Endiasami (but not heard from him for a while)
Roofing? Imram Roofing
Granite and Sand Supply? Chekitaut but you will need to make sure his vehicle does not break down

There could be other people that have skipped my mind right now but I would gladly work with the above Builders.

#NotABibeli, if l missed your name, it does not mean you are not good, it simply means you have need to impress more on this thred and with the work you do. My apologies.

Keep us informed so we canalso help you answer questions and keep your Contractor on his toes.

you see this type of list, I'm making it soon with my profession. It's not going to be easy but I will definitely make it soon.


Attached is a picture of window burglary that's openable. Kindly note that it's not a finished product and your idea on how to improve on it is highly recommended.

I intend to change the locks used with something more beautiful depending on the budget.

deboysben:
go and sit down one side and stop twisting nonsense.

e pain you abi. That's what I intended. For your information, I don't hate Trump and I passionately hate Buhari. It's possible

It's funny that the same people that called CNN fake news because of Donald Trump are same people hailing them as legitimate news outlet for dragging Buhari and his cohorts to the muds. That's how funny humans are.

davodyguy:
I am at this stage now.

But most people said Tiles should come before doors

the doors must come before the tiles. It's after you're done with the doors, the tiler will then use the floor available from the doors to set the tiles. No do that mistake. You might be forced to break some of your tiles to set the doors

Michlins,please how much is a meter of balcony wrought iron in onitsha, also the cost of your metal door..? I also want a simple window buglary proof with galvanised iron for a 3 bedroom flat

the design of the balcony will determine the price of it per meter.

My door goes for 20,000 currently.

The price of window protectors varies from design and choice of material. If you have any design in mind, I can give you a quote. The wrought iron rail inclusive. Thanks

Jasobry:
Cement is 2850 in my location

we went to more than three shops and it's same everywhere. He eventually bought ten bags

amakaDD:
Maybe you could give it a week or two when stock will be replenished.. Except if you are in need of it urgently, buying in smaller quantities or the cost of delays outweighs waiting for the price to settle.

IMHO

I'm not the person buying but from what I saw in that market, the price won't drop soon. The trucks aren't there and according to the sellers, cement sold for #3,200 on Monday

I don't know where una dey buy less than #3,000 for a bag of cement. I just followed a friend to Nkwo Nnewi and it's #3,500 per bag. Most of the shops are empty and they don't have the bua cement which is in most demand here

EgunMogaji2:
What I intend to do is create a box that this then fit inside of.

create a box and weld it again on the door. That's ok if you want to but .........

That's your money sir

I don't see how it's going to fit alongside the door without making it look awkward. I'm just thinking about how it will fit without being obvious

EgunMogaji2:
I’m thinking of retrofitting this lock instead.

Can I hear pros and cons from a Nigerias perspective?

Thanks.

well I don't usually use this type of key here but it's best for wooden doors. Unless you have the tools, boring a hole to insert this key in an iron door will be somewhat rough. Another factor is that the key is probably more than 3" and that means it won't fit in the pipe.

Testimony Time

Words fail me to express my gratitude to Gbadexy for being a shining light in the midst of the darkness I have seen from suppliers and artisans throughout my period of building my house.

I had watched and followed his comments for over two years.He supplied me basecoats and paints from lagos to Minna.He offered to share the tranportation cost with me by 50% and gave me extra base coats.
When there was a delay,he assured me of getting another supply if that one failed.When I eventually got the Painting material ,he introduced a painter who managed the paints and even developed a different colour from to give my house the uniqueness we never expected.
Thank you Gbadexy!!!
My God will surprise you and very soon too.

Worthy of Mention is Saydfact!
Always a phone call away answering questions and giving counsel.You have become more than an online friend sir, You are a brother!
We never walk alone....

Topsy23
He supplied all my electrical materials without issues.
He is someone I can always recommend.

Rotech77
You are one of a kind sir.
Even though I couldn't eventually use his service due to constraints beyond me, he answers my questions promptly.
I am sure we will still do things together very soon.

Michilin
My water tank stand is standing beautifully done because of your counsel.You told me things to look at for and how to bargain properly.
It worked!!!
