And she has the courage to come to the panel..... If the pregnancy was lost due to the fact they tried to extract information, from her about her crook brother....... Serves her right........
nah. Just because your family member did crime doesn't mean you should be punished for it. It's her brothers' crimes not hers

My brother, I drive through that same road twice every week since the last 2 years to see my projects aroundthere. The road is even a lot better now that the rains have stopped, we have even slept on that road once. Nigeria!
hehehehehehehe

On Sunday, I was delivering Oga Valencia 2012 rails, motor spoil, I slept on the road. Came back Monday morning and put some finishing touches on another job going to Onitsha, motor spoil again. Left Nnewi around 1pm and got back to Nnewi round 8pm. Agbero collect everything I had on me, armed robbers nearly caught up with us.

But we move and never give up. We must make am inside this country without doing crime

I am also interested in expert opinion on this.

I am thinking of the following order after roofing:
Doors, burglary and windows
Plumbing and electrical
Plastering
POP
Electrical/plumbing fittings
kitchen cabinet and appliances
tile
Painting
Landscaping
I don't know about others, but I know about doors and burglaries plus other allied iron works. Rails too

This is the final build of the rails of the rails made for a Nairalander. I beat the delivery date by about four days and he gave me added bonus on top our agreed sum.

I wrapped it with nylon to ensure that the paints remain without blemishes

Glad to know it came out nice.

What difference will the price be if it is made with iron steel bars and not wrought iron? The latter material is quite expensive.
good morning sir. The beauty of this work is wrought iron. Using normal pipes, 1.5mm pipe is #25,000 per meter. Thanks for your enquiry

The one in the last pic requires very BIGGGGG generator.

The earlier one posted can be powered using 5kva generator.

I’d use the latter machine when welding thicker gauge. The inverter welding machine will do every household job (doors, gates, tank towers, etc)
I need the one small petrol generator can power because it's energy efficient and I don't need to be carrying big generator up and about. That suffering has to stop.

I for buy start and weld but those things are like ogbanje. You can get to a site and it will start up fine but can't weld. The mechanic will tell you it's the welding diode a d that you will have to go to Onitsha to know if you can find a compatible one. Onitsha will tell you maybe Lagos go get am and if your village people really want something from you, Lagos go tell you say e no dey.
Happened to a friend of mine. He didn't use the machine to make one kobo

N3xt the way that welder is joining those channels no be am or maybe I'm not seeing that well.
You join them in an "Z" form. Let's say it's a 6 by 4 channel, you will have to cut one tip of the channel by 3 by 6. Like eh, you divide the middle of the channel by 2 and then cut it by the width. That way, it's more resistant to breaking than joining it end to end in an "I" form. I don't have the pictures to show you what I mean but maybe later today, I will have to draw it out on a piece of paper.


My 2 cents

Maybe I’m wrong but this is ‘Arc Welding Machine’ in the picture below though.

They both look alike but they’re different. There’s even a palm-size model. I’ll try get pics and update this post later on.
this is exactly why I need help with it. I see some foreign used ones around here and brand new ones but I don't know which one is better

Like seriously shocked

Inverter welding machines are everywhere over here and ridiculously cheap too.

Prices start from 28k and they’re very durable.
I can easily walk into the market and get something but I don't know a thing about them. If it were normal welding machine, I know what I want but this is totally new to me

Good evening everyone. I hope you're all well. I need the help of the house. I need to buy a welding inverter and I don't know a thing about it. The welding machine I have been using is the usual one but because of mobility and need to upgrade myself, I need to buy the inverter.

I need something that will weld between 4mm and 6mm metal. Which inverter is best for me and which generator do you recommend. I'm willing to pay someone to buy it for me in and around Lagos and waybill to me down to Nnewi.

@egunmogaji2 I like that one you uploaded the picture sometime ago

Hello brother.
The rails are coming out nice.

How much on average is the meter length of these iron rails?
good evening sir and thanks for your enquiry. The cost of the rails per meter is #33,000. Kindly note that everything on it is wrought iron just like he requested.

Attached is the final product. First one is the rails with anti rust paint and the other two are the final product. He chose the color and that didn't allow me to play with it.

Good evening my oga dem. I dey hear rumors about dollar climbing to 520 by tomorrow. How does someone do business in this type of economy. 5" frame I bought for #4600 on Saturday is now #5200 as at this afternoon. No be die be this bikonu. Just imagine that you made a quotation on Monday and client mobilized you on Monday. How do you explain that it's no longer possible to work with. 18 guage pan that sells for 9600 last weekend is now 10500 and it's projected to hit 11000 by Monday. Oh I nearly forgot about the cost of petrol and how it affected the cost of transport immediately.

Please don't mind my epistles above but I'm just frustrated and angry about the whole thing

Well done Bro, you are flying already.

I will suggest:
1) you have to use an "Angle Ruler" to ensure that the angles between the location l marked as "B" in the picture, are exactly 90-degrees and the short irons are perpendicular to the rectangular shape they are welded to, to get a true 90-degrees.
2) the short pipes are either the same size/width as the ones used to get those rectangular shapes. to really bring out the beauty for the design.

Just my 2cents, but you are really 'the man'.
yes. I haven't fully welded that particular one. It was the first prototype I did and believe me it wasn't easy. I used a bit of light to hold it together. A tap of hammer will remove the whole pipes. The distance between two areas you marked is 5" but I later reduced it to 4" on the subsequent build. I intend to fix the issue you raised on getting to work today.

Another thing is that on ground level, it all looks out of shape but when elevated to the desired angle, it looks as it should. But I appreciate your eagle eyes. Thanks

Good evening everyone,, I hope you're all well. Attached is the progress made on the job oga Valencia2012 contracted me to do for him.

First picture is the concept

Subsequent photos are what I was able to do. I'm open to criticism and suggestions on how to improve


Kindly note that when on the ground, the pipes look out of position but when elevated, you see them line up as they should. I was able to raise it thanks much but the true position is far higher

Please Gents, what’s the current price for a borehole now?

Also is it advisable to drill the borehole first and get a water tank to make water available on site before starting construction? Or one can just get a water tank and have water suppliers bring water from time to time to site ?
drill the borehole and pump water to any plastic tank you have on ground. When you are done with your building, give me a call for the standing tank construction
