Please I need your advice on external wall screeding before painting.

I would really love to screed before painting, at least to correct some cracks (i think resulting from plastering), but was thinking painting, especially when well done, should be able to 'cover it up'. Cost is another reason why I might hold back on the screeding.

What do you think please?

Gbadexy, N3xt
I believe gbadexy has attended to this.

Help Critique This Facade

It’s been a while I do stuffs like this.

Few weeks ago, I got commissioned to design a contemporary living for a young family. The client who wanted something calming, clutter-free and simple asked us to design a house that tick all the boxes without breaking the bank.
Below is what we came up with.

This project is a textbook case of how to build economically.

Would you say Yes or No to the facade? And why?


_________
Building Typology: Modern, Stylistic and Functional
Bedroom: 4 Bedroom En-suite
Plot Size: 400sqm
Features: Atrium, Double Volume Master Bed Studio/Kitchenette, Gym, Study/Office, Laundry, Pantry, Terraces, Guest Living, Large Living Areas on both floor.
Some few days ago, I shared the above. Many thanks to everyone for those wonderful feedback and to those who rewarded us with another great design work, we say thank you.

Follow me on the journey into the contemporary living as we design a shape that suit the simplicity of the tropic. I'm here at https://www.kobocity.com/u/brabus

Different Approach. Different Result.

This is the way to go. You can't browbeat an apology from the client in these circumstances. The contractor has got enough support from contributors to counter the fraud allegation (the internet never forgets also). I'm with you on this, let both contractor and client now sort themselves out and I'm sure if they do, the client may come out here with updated information.
Even though we are poles apart on many issues (eg flat roof vs pitch roof)grin grin I’d still say thank you for your valuable contribution.

It's almost 48 hours indeed, yet Cribking1 and Mountmoriah remain silent on this issue. Don't you get the message? One decided to speak rather than act and the other acting rather than speaking.
No-one should be forced to apologise to anyone. At the same time, we should not cry more than the "bereaved". Let's treat this matter as closed until those involved bring it up again. Am sure we are all very busy.
Baba don say “fem” which means no need to dey para again.

Thanks for your understanding.

Pride comes before a fall .
He found it easy to rubbbish a fellow man and level fraudster against him. Real mean apologies and show remorse . If it entails him to eat his words , it all good and shows he is remorseful of his deed . The false image being painted on this supplier will hunt him for a long time if not corrected appropriately..internet never forget .
It’ll be a very good reference material on kobocity.com

Apply Game Theory

Give him a deadline

After deadline, let mountmoriah paste his government issued name, bank details and phone number, and the address of the project

We name and shame after the deadline

Remember when one girl used uber and absconded without paying? The number was used to track her (unfortunately to coded run). This time we have much more. Meanwhile I hope he is not Chidozia Anucha

I believe you are already on good speaking terms with him. Please continue to reach out. I don’t want to believe that he would refuse to do the needful
If 48 hours is not too short to call a person a fraudster, how many years is good enough to clear up false accusation?

What does it take to modify a post on nairaland if there are no sinister move? Both of us did modify a post yesterday without issue.

You gave us the impression that you had direct communications with @Cribking1

Hence my recommendation to reach out to him privately to cleanup the thread (i.e. delete those nasty words and the false allegations).
Is it time to share the screenshot of our convo now?

At first he said he wanted to confirm the materials were on his site.

Second, he wants to see the installation completed.

Thirdly he wanted to visit the site to see that the job has been done and was expecting picture from the roof supplier when his office is just few distance away from the site.

What else do we need to do sir?

I know he made some hurtful comments to people like @Enyinne

But our people say that their is no extra gain in flogging someone over a fault when you see the person already flogging themselve

Except we want to add insult to injury. So I advise we let it go. We know you want to protect your brand, but there is not much you can do, except tumpbling tbe house with the intent to bann @Cribking1
I’m saying we should let it go just like that and leave the accusation dangling on mountmoriah despite the fact that he had done the job.

There’s a lot that can be done. I really mean a lot. I don’t do nairaland war though.
May we not become popular for the wrong reason.

I stepped in because we do not want anyone to suffer any loss and I think we’ve done enough to protect the client. I don’t hold people to double standard. I treat people as equal.

Thank you for your last post. Pls if you can help though but count me out of reaching out to any mod to delete those posts. The mod wont offer apologies to mountmoriah.

We have overstated the obvious, except the goal is to rubbish his pride and make him eat his words

This is one the reasons I said some clients like to play god. It's quite easy to shout someone is fraudulent but now that it's all sorted out he is telling the one assisting in sorting out the issue that he never sent you......



So why in the first instance did you come here to cry fraud.....

All this DC and Marvel studios people inside NL.
Let’s give baba Cribking1 benefit of doubt sir. No one wan die na. Na the area all the Hausa vs Yoruba ethnic crisis dey burst.

I hope I got the translation though grin grin

I believe 48 hours is not too short to go and confirm where baba put his N1,369,750. We will patiently wait for the confirmation and retraction of the false allegation of fraud.

Two things here - respect and patience - are virtues of a matured mind.

Update:

When asked if he has confirmed the job has been completed, the client (Cribking1) said and I quote “I'm yet to confirm it.”
In his own word, he also said that @mountmoriah said “He was telling me the installers needed to stay for 2 additional nights that I should send 8K for hotel lodge.”

I tried to confirm this from mountmoriah and he told me that was a message sent before they started the installation. I guess the client must have read it at a later time.

I sent the pictures of the building and showing the job done to the client and he said “He never sent me all these.”
I replied The building is yours. You could have just check in to see the job since you’re there in Ibadan.

He promised to visit the site today and we patiently await his feedback.
Update:

Why has mountmoriah not shown up here to tell us his own side of the story blah blah?

Attached is the screenshot of his nairaland profile. He was banned by a moderator for derailing a thread. undecided

I can understand oga money doesn't want to sell certain products...but one should maybe educate themselves more about that product and why they exist...0,35 ,0,40 etc...my small kobo kobo house i did two years ago I used 0,40 I bought from Pgn which is a subsidiary of TOWER ..during my IT days we did recommend 0,35, 0,40 and 0,45 roofing sheets for bungalows or duplex up to 25-30 feet...taking considerations with weather and locations..mostly in the east there are not too much adverse weather.you have to advice clients accordingly and guide their decisions properly...

Offcourse with your money you can buy 0,70mm of you want...
You’re very correct!

Most people always start with the bolded above (buying the best money can buy). I always encourage homeowners to go with good enough whilst putting more resource on the roof carcassing and insulation where necessary. Those part of roof installation suffers the most.

Most people focus more on the covering than the carcass.

Conflict is pretty much inevitable when we work with others.

When two people involved in a business transaction oversteps the mark of healthy difference of opinion, resolving conflict requires respect and patience - a clear sign of maturity.

As we grow, we must learn to control our emotions, perceptions, and actions whenever conflict arise. We must learn to deal with facts and avoid talking outside context as it allows conflict to build and fester, without being dealt with directly.

Lastly, it takes emotional maturity to prioritize the health of the relationship over the ego-feeding need to be right. cool

Many thanks to all the valuable contributors on this matter. Your difference makes a difference.

Together we can make Nigeria great again without unnecessary dramas, ban threat, assault... grin!
