mufutau55: Oga Muyesky, I forgot to ask. how big is each of your Soak-away?
I am trying to make estimate for mine.. I will use the same for both
Mens Quarter and the main Duplex. Thanks.

Hajji Mufutau

mufutau55: One quick questions to all...

Is it necessary to install kitchen cabinets before the floor and wall tilings, and of course after plastering?
Or the cabinets can be installed after all the tiles for floor and walls are done?

Hajji Mufutau

mufutau55: Uncle Muyesky.. Where are more photos of the updates on the progress of your Chateau.? I have been expecting this.

Note: Remember I am learning from everything you post here, and I am not the only one as you can see.

dalof2000: Nice job, please keep it coming!

mafavour: pls can you give me your email address mr muyesky

spyder880: Good things are happening here, I am proud of you Muyesky. Keep it going bro.

mufutau55: Best thing is that if you don't trust them that much.. buy the materials as they go along..
he asks for 150 bags of cement - buy only 80 bags at first and make sure you stay there to monitor them, if it finishes buy some more.. Then buy him 5 plastering sand at first.. what is 2 stoney? Just make sure you buy some and when they are almost finished with that, with your monitoring, then you buy more.. That has worked well for me.

Oga Muyesky, what do you say to that?

Hajji Mufutau

Roserbert: Let me just buttress point already established by friends here that, 700k definitely won't be enough! With that noted, let me also say most importantly that 700k is not bad to start with. one thing I personally have come to understand about building is that, you must not have all the required fund before you start, just take the bold step, go ahead and do something with what you are having presently with you. There is this joy seeing something springing up, dream coming through, it motivates you to strive more and in no time you will be suprised what you have been able to achieve.

Shalom!

Roserbert: Thank you very much sir,

Please I like to know (let's say on a rough estimation) like how many bags of cements will be enough for plastering a 3 bedroom flat in and out and flooring (A sitting room, dinning, 3 rooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, and a store - just of d size of bathroom) + suck-away. Mr. Muyesky, I wouldn't mind if you can tell me howmany you used for yours.

what should be d thickness of the plaster?

Remain blessed!

mufutau55: You forgot the important part.. Foundation and with or without German Floor.. that alone will eat up N700k.
But your estimates on the other are also good examples.. With N2m he should be able to complete everything
without fancy finishing.. just essential finishing.

Hajji Mufutau

Azone: This is great, I like your attitude towards this and the passion you have.

Many people this days dont see this, they might have spent 3m on what they themselves dont understand.

I would like to know your honest opinion, I know you are building a 3 bedroom, but would 700k build a ROOM & PARLOR SELCONTAIN?

I would just like to have an idea of it, please share your thought.

Thanks

Roserbert: Am grateful sir,
in the interim, the plumber just gave a bill of 135k for laying of pipes (material + workmanship), is the price reasonable for a 3 Bedroom all ensuite? Let me note that I requested for full conduit.

Thanks a bunch!

mufutau55: Thanks, anxiously waiting for more picture updates too.
And I am sure you did not forget about my request, thru email? Or did you?

Hajji Mufutau

Babaoloye50: This is one of the BEST Tread EVERRRRRRRRRRRR

mufutau55: Muyesky, any update? God bless.

Hajji Mufutau

mufutau55: Regardless of the size of blocks you use.. it's still a good idea to do a german floor for various reasons.
I will advise you to do a german floor.. if you read all the thread on this forum, everyone advises to do a
german floor. If you read some pages back, Muyesky also did a german floor which I and him discussed about it.

Read this link and it should help more on "Advantages of Oversite Concrete or German Floor":

Thanks a lot Hajji Mufutau, you have indeed answered all there is to answer as per his queston, you are blessed

Roserbert: wow! how come I neva see this thread before now? Anyways, thank God now am in. I av a similar project @hand now, and to the fact that am not working in thesame state whr the project is sited is one thing as I can't just monitor it so closely like you are doing. Somtimes I just feels lik questioning sometinz, but then, any attempt to do so might seems lik am doubting the integrity of the person monitoring the project on my behalf. One thing am just happy with, is that the project is progressing. There are few things I might av love to do differently if am there but, that not wit standing, many thanks to the man and all GLORY TO GOD.

Seriously, I must commend, you are doing a great job here.

I'll be back soon as I really need your opinion on some things on my project. Duty calls...

esoorita: Muyesky, well done! I just stumbled on your thread and I must say that I'm very impressed about your meticulous answers
to all the questions thrown to you. I hold you in a very high esteem for your co-operative attitude towards the people that asked you very probing questions most especially Hajj Mufutau. I'm beginning to like Hajj Mufutau since I came on stream of the property section of Nairaland because on every thread he's involved, he asks all the questions I would have asked myself. We in diaspora tremendously appreciate people like Muyesky with his attitude of answering every questions asked to the satisfaction of the enquirer. My prayer is that God in His infinite mercies will continue to bless you abundantly to finish your house according to your heart's desire. I did observe that you never forget to answer all the questions you were asked on this thread. You are blessed.

Muyesky is also a contractor.. so give him your Tiling contracts for good job.
