MrOkenwa:
I dm you sir.

MrOkenwa:
I'm interested in buying from these schemes sir. Please guide me on how I can go about it. I would appreciate if you have any link too. Thank you sir.

Adhesive is suitable for already flatten floors or walls, the ones we have here has waterproofing qualities to act also as a layer between the tiles/granites and the concrete wall/brick/block wall. They uses cement if the house is a heated floor system and simultaneously tiling & flooring (tiling and floor slab works goes simultaneously), cement and adhesive are available in different colour to suit your preference and tile colour, some are specially made for indoor and outdoor.
Note: modern floor heating uses slim pipes or heating element that accommodate the use of normal layer adhesive.

wanted to say the same

We usually adapt quickly in this part of the world

A lot of projects have stopped

omanzo02:
I didn't notice it's work in progress....I thought you were just showcasing one of your firm past work and craft in the trade as usual, my bad.

omanzo02:
I see, the colours between the tiles is lighter, doesn't seem like normal cement, probably the bond mixture or camera light reflection.

omanzo02:
Are the tiles laid with adhesive?

Cindino20:
Yea..I paid around 3500 in Feb or so..thats almost 260% increase in price..considering I used 90 bags or so...that brings in additional cost of 540 000 Naira...Truth be told...this is not sustainable..this is hyperinflation.

At this rate how will civil servants afford decent home with their salary?

EgunMogaji2:
I used 300 tons to fill my foundation because I stubbornly wanted an even floor. I will never ever do it again because I now know better.

What “I” would do is step the foundation but this needed to have been designed by the architect when he made a site visit.

Building a high foundation and the resulting filling is a total waste except one is doing it because of water.

We recently finished building a house in Ijebu on 3 plots of sloping land and didn’t bring in one spoon of fill dirt. The house and yard were all stepped appropriately.

Good luck on your project.

Hello all,

So work has commenced and my Engineer said the land is sloppy so he had to lay 9 coach at the back and 8 coach at each side so that when they start constructing the drainages I won't have water flood in my compound.

Here is now my question....

He said he wants to bury another 3 coach at the back so that when it's time to start sand filling, the walls are not going to collapse due to weight of the sand been resting on the walls.

Am thinking if there is an alternative to this cause he has consumed 1200 blocks already to dpc level and it's not a water logged area.

He said we either build another wall of 3 coach to hold the wall or we pour concrete inside the block so that it can stand the pressure.

Please what options do I have cause they've started casting already.

July, it was around ₦5000

The middle men and distributor's greed.

This has nothing to do with Buhari or recession

omanzo02:
Moisture Theory is the general assertion that kitchens, toilets and bathrooms must be tiled from the floor to the ceiling to prevent water or moisture from getting into walls.
I believe in the theory of as long the space is well ventilated, the right primer and paints used only wet area requires tiles...... it's a interior deco in practice where I am and it WILL also work in Nigeria, I prefer a lively interior not a shrine!

erico2k2:
Dunlop ? ain't that the Tyre people
but great at least ur wooden floor shines, but I think for me I wanna stick to tiles on the flooor

EgunMogaji2:
Oga mi not so o.

Nigeria is no more sandy than coastal and desert regions of the USA.

erico2k2:
I always think wood floors are a no no in 9ja, Im sitting the sandy nature of 9ja how the surface will go dull in no time

davodyguy:
Oroyinyin, Idumagbo, just before Idumota.

I bought all the cables I posted on line yesterday there

It was easy cause my office is on the Island.

It is better than going to Alaba market

omanzo02:
No body can convince me to do that crazy tiling, when I get to that stage I will retain the tile format I have in Europe, to hell with their outdated moisture theories.

saydfact:

Nigeria is where one thing works and everyone jumps on it and beat it to death.

2 pillars and send down the rain? POP wall mouldings? Brick tiles? They will put these three examples on anything called house....until they are played out.

Thank you sir. God bless you

@ Zuraking
@ One4me

I beg you in God's name to please sheath your swords and stop passing all these harsh and vituperative remarks on each other. The more you hurl abusive words to hurt each other, the more unhappy and hurt you become in return. You and only you have the right to choose and control how you want to feel about a particular situation ... and nobody else.
I've learnt over time that ignoring a post with hurtful intents aimed at you is one of the best options of controling your emotions in a faceless forum like this

Once again sirs, I plead with you both to let peace reign as we strive to achieve our different aims of signing up to this forum.

As I've always read here: More mortars to your projects!

EgunMogaji2:
I don’t always go by the prices on here. Some of the prices are hyped up for the abroadians and IJGB that can’t or won’t enter market themselves.

EgunMogaji2:
I’ll never step foot in that place again in my life. Una well done for Lagos o.

EgunMogaji2:
We’ve already hashed this out before. I don’t have your time this afternoon as I’m not feeling well

zuraking:
okay. The battery I am using is 150ah which cost 60k for one. So let's assume your house is 2 bedroom to 3 bedroom, you can manage 2 batteries. If your house is 4 bedroom or duplex you can use 4 batteries and have it in mind that you must be checking wattage of any electronics you are buying or using (the lower the wattage, the longer your battery will last after fully charged). You MUST use original AKT energy bulbs with 5-10 watts maximum in your house to make the batteries last longer.

So what's are needed :

1.. batteries 150ah cost 60k, 200ah cost 95k

2... Inverter (this will be the one to supply light and also charge the batteries when we are in raining season) price is 65k for 1kv and 120k for 2.5kv. you can buy used one to cut cost which is 35k for 1kv and 75k for 2.5k.

3... Solar panels. 150ah batteries needs 300watts to charge it full with 5-6hours sunlight. so you can buy 150watts 2 for 150ah battery which cost 25k per 150watt. If you don't want your roofing to be filled up with panels, you can buy single 300watts for 38-45k (but I prefer 150 watts)

4... charge controller: this is used to control the sunlight that will be charging your batteries with solar panels to avoid over charging. It cost 8-10k

5... You need wire that will connect your solar panels from.th roofing to the batteries inside. The price depends on the height of the roofing and the location of the batteries price shouldn't be more that 10k assuming the house is 2 story building and you live down.

In conclusion, your pocket will give you what you want and the more the batteries and panels, the longer the power supply. When my batteries are fully charged (with 5-6 hours sunlight my batteries are full already) we use it from evening till the next morning.
