Here are facebook links to demonstration videos of a water repellent paint with ability to self cleaning during rain and withstand several actual washing.
We will be applying it on the fence of a client in a few days and I will post the link of the thread here.
It's also very ideal in coastal areas where high humidity quickly degrade paints.
I've supplied our own twinskenny a year ago for internal use but we are using it for external use now.

This is where I would like to challenge the proponents of some major brand names to a similar test.
We actually stained the paint with black oil, sand and water twice and washed it thrice.
Twice with foam and soapy water and once with a coarse sack. You would hear the high scratching sound of the sack and it stayed put.

gbadexy:
I believe it's called tyroline. It's not a paint but cement and sand applied with a hand machine and painted.
Only painters that are skilled in the application can explain the preparation process.
Similar thing was done on the building of a client whom is a member of this section and we supplied the paints.

megacontrol:
Do we need to still screed the wall if we are going to apply tyroline/graffitex before painting?
I wouldn't think that'll be necessary again?

Hello painters in the house and anyone with experience with this.

The rough finish we see across the attached pictures are quite common nowadays, my questions are;

1/ Which kind of paint is used to achieve that rough finish?

2/ Does the wall need to be prepared differently from other plastered areas? Just as we leave the wall rough for wall tiles, is that same or it should be plastered smooth.

3/ Do we need to screed the areas or not if we want to achieve that horizontal groove/band and rough finish in those little sections as in pictures 1&2?

Any other specific tips are welcome.

Thanks

I thought as much but because I got someone else who gave me a perfect roofing work I found it worthless going back and forth... I did refer the roofer to 2 other on going roofing projects of my friends, that could have been him!

Someone asked me yesternight "Where will the 4th Mainland bridge pass?" "Which part of Ajah/BADORE will be affected?"

Here's my thought:

For minimal damage and prevention of economic loss, I foresee the 4th mainland bridge coming from somewhere between PAN African University and Happyland Estate or nearby location about 1km to either sides, passing through the undeveloped lands and govt lands around the area, avoiding Cooperative Villas, cutting through BADORE road between Folarin bus stop - Greenville estate or nearby about 500m to either sides and landing at langbasa and then over the lagoon to Ikorodu.

Anyone with a property around this areas should go and confirm with the local planning authority early enough the area for the proposed realignment early enough in order to avoid the story that touch.


Just my thought though. My hunch is never wrong and ongoing activities with that area and especially BADORE to somewhere between PAN African university and Splash Bar further confirms the truth.

Things to check for:

- Government excisions around the areas mentioned above
- Areas where govt refuses to give approvals, consents and CofO
- A large parcel of undeveloped govt land around you which was clearly avoided by the land urchins (Omo Onile)
- Areas with slow growth and development despite being at prime areas
- Too good to be true land transactions.

Happy Building!

Concerning an issue that almost caused a disagreement between a client and a contractor. As everything is increasing in cost in this pandemic season, many clients will find that the cost of fixing P.O.P ceiling has increased over the past few months (especially if it's not labour). This is as a result of increase in the cost of p.o.p cements, which at the moment is fluctuating. I've had to review prices with clients that got their quotation last year and are just ready to start the job. It shouldn't come as a shock to you as the prices of goods as at January is different from the price now.
On a norms, the rate per sq/metre depends on how simple or complex the design is and sometimes location ( as prices are cheaper/costlier in some states ).
Also, making enquiries is not just based on asking how much it will cost to fix p.o.p in a 3 bedroom flats. I've had some customers get angry just because of this.
*Your 3 bedroom flat is different from another's. Your may be build on half a plot while another may be on a plot.
*Yours may have other rooms like the store, anterooms and all sorts of additional rooms while another may just be basic 2 bedrooms and sitroom.
All this is after considering the designs you choose. Therefore it'll be quite difficult to just say a figure off the top one's head based on little detail.

At His Grace Interiors, our aim is to give you the very best and not giving headaches while at it.
Your cooperation and understanding will go a long way in making the processes smooth and easy. Thank you!

We install beautiful and durable p.o.p ceilings and other related works like screeding, skirting e.t.c.

You'd need a GSM module, it costs N35,000. Call 09068085090 for further details.

n = 1

This whole statement makes little sense. There's no point to this debate if you guys are going to be using anecdotes as data points.

Let's get back to construction thing please. I'm just here to learn a thing or two about the building process here.

Bros I can only speak for my self, anybody that has an Msc in Architecture and he or she can't perform is a disgrace to Architecture.

But we must get things right in Architecture because they way Architectural practice is going in our country now if it continues we may be out of the biz in the next 20years.
We Architects must come together and have one mind and one voice and this can be achieved through our professional body.

I don’t have a truck scale at my site but I pay N15K per 10 tons. Omi Adio Ibadan. Bought 40 tons yesterday.

megacontrol:
I feel you but this is no different from other businesses in the country with their associated risks. You have to de-risk somehow, if that involves "gbetu-gbetu" then so be it ... literarily

I wish I can! They inspire me to do better. One would imagine I’m here to look for jobs instead I’m busy setting up construction-as-a-service (CAAS)

megacontrol:
Absolutely! I know the breakdown of the cost.

Where is the primary location of your truck?
I know you're active around our project locations, so are you open to 3rd party use within reasonable distance and with gentleman agreement in place?

megacontrol:
I laff in ijebu language.

I only replied you cos you've been quite helpful and it appears your project is in that axis. There are always china truck plying the lekki-epe express fully loaded with plaster sand, wave/flash one of them down and make direct inquiries from them.

That's how i sourced and I have bought over 5 trips of 30T so far and will still be needing more soon.

You may get it 5k-10k less (or more) but forget about those rates you're looking for. Infact run if anyone offers you at such rate.

KolaShangOne:
Wichtech is still the best.

People are not using Wichtech only because of the poverty level in this country. Nothing more.

Wichtech attend Tilcor stated making Nigeria grades because they know wer can't afford the "original" because of poverty.

Every company that intends to compete in Nigeria must lower their quality to maintain a price that we Nigerians, the poorest people in the world, can afford.
