Definitely not resolved by onlookers or those who had nothing valuable to add to the forum but by well meaning people who understands that there are no perfect being and no perfect contract.

obviously you don't get it at all.

You were paid to do a job. The client didn't pay you to make a refund later. He needed his job delivered and that's why he paid you.

For a person who speaks lots of English, you seem like you have a problem understanding them.

Anyway I got my SD card back and saw some of my old jobs for clients here and it feels nostalgic

Were you paid to refund madam Eyinne for one door? Answer this first.

When there’s irreconcilable difference on a project, a mutually agreed approach to achieving peace is inevitable.

If a glass that was meant to be used on a project got broken on the project (after you’ve paid for it and it has been delivered to you) and the client is unwilling to let go, will you repay or not?

If there’s a change of design and you can’t guarantee it, will you be liable to make a refund or not?

In my contract, there’s a portion of the document which says “The client has every right to let out a separate contract”

Good morning bro!

Hope you can comprehend this.

It’s natural for people to criticize what they don’t understand because human being are natural fast at the trigger of condemnation.

Does going to the bush to buy roofing wood make any sense? NO!

Does having quality woods that are standard in measurements and are very durable make any sense? YES!

Does it matter where they came from? NO! YES! NO! YES!! grin

We live in a flight or fight world. If you don’t understand something, attack it, condemn it or run away from it.

But for me, if I don’t understand something. I see it as an opportunity to learn something new and expand on it through research.

I don’t even care who wins the Nobel Prize. If it makes sense, I’m in.

Okay... Thank you...will get them tomorrow

Don’t forget to get them rubber gloves to use when applying the chemicals. It cost between 500 - 1000

Solignum do cause a lot of irritation when applying it on woods and it’s instantaneous .

The way individuals system respond to toxic materials differs. Its not worth taking the risk. The polluted air we inhale round the city is enough. My opinion sha

Bros people do fumigate house with very harmful chemical substance and still live in that house after some hours (maybe 24 or 48 hours).

I’d kick against overexposure to used motor oil but it’s one-off treatment and you’d still have about 2 - 3 months (at least) to work on the completion of any project before human habitation. This literally mean the treated woods are/should be safe by then.

Smiles. No time for long thing.

You can’t wait for the “let me bring it from our second shop” stories.

On a flipside, how many wood seller will allow you to select “all good” woods. That’s if theyre not stewarding you towards where baddest of the bad woods are stocked.

Even the most experienced carpenters get cheated by these guys.

Note: there are good guys out there selling quality woods in the open market but you can hardly find two in a dozen because people by default will naturally pick cheap over good.

This is only applicable to woods that is left in the open
Used motor oil can perfectly preserve the wood. This is because used motor oil cannot completely dry. It keeps sipping deeper into the wood. This action will stabilize the wood by making it strong and durable. On the flip side, you cannot use this method to preserve indoor wood.

Using used motor oil is only best for outdoor woodwork.

@bolded in red

Do you have any reason why used motor oil can’t or shouldn’t used on indoor woods?

Wood from the Bush

So I decided to do a preventative check on my roofing woods this morning and I feel I should share why getting wood from the credible source from the Bush is 1000 times better for me.

Project: Chateau De Brabus
Year of Installation: 11 Years

Observation

- the wood are still resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations. No visible signs of defects.

- the treatment applied on the wood is still highly resistant to rot, fungi, and mildew. The woods are still looking great.

Though it cost a little more than the open market price, I’m happy to pay the difference for peace of mind and comfort.

In a separate post, I’ll share pictures of woods that were supplied to me in one of my ongoing project. I cannot but smile when I get to see the quality of these woods, their shape and even their sizes (length and girth).

I recently stumble on some 2by2 woods on a project and I feel very sad that someone who could afford a N5m roofing sheet cannot take the pain to get the best type of roofing wood out their to build the roof frame.

It’s just sad a lot of people don’t know the areas to invest in quality upfront - areas to compromise and areas not to bat an eyelid.

This is one!

Please what can I use to treat the woods?

Solignum, Kerosene and used Motor Oil*

I shared this trick some years back but few who don’t understand the dynamics condemned it.

The truth is used motor oil cannot completely dry Thus it helps in stabilize your roofing wood and make them stronger and more durable.

So unless you’re having problems at untreated nail points/joints, your roofing woods can last forever when treated with used motor oil.

I did that on my personal build though I have very solid woods and I never regret it. Having double layer of protection doesn’t harm.

Wow! The bike, the yard sale and sarcasms. I honestly do not have any idea you were the one. I put past in the past.

To be honest, I’m always here to study the comprehension of online written sarcasms.

Brabus has been at loggerheads with many folks here that we ended up becoming online friends in this same place. One was my number 1 praise singer on the project in question jumping from platforms to platforms (kcity to NL) to sing praises and admiration.

Can we confidently call such folk an enabler or say they’re giving Brabus an opening?

I understand this game perfectly and only the weak ones fall for it. I’m happy @redgem didn't allow emotions to becloud her reasoning when they came at her. I guess she’s too focused to allow anyone sell her cra p or maybe more matured.

We’ve been here for years and we know the drill. I’m pretty sure some of your know I’m still working for many people here but they’re wise enough not to make it public before you start tagging them.

Any info people? Area is Alagbado

Disclaimer

I’m not asking you to buy from this person. As a matter of fact, I’ve not patronized her before but she’s a supplier around that area. She gave me her contact while working on some projects there.

You can call her to make enquiries and compare figures.

0708 357 7813 - I don’t know her name.

__________

Here’s what I know. The price of good sharp sand in that area is more than what we buy in Lekki and Oshodi. And their truck is kinda small which makes it look like a rip off to me.
They don’t use the China truck we are used to in Lekki axis. They have the side-loading type of truck.

They have 2 types of sharp sand (good and bad sand). Both can be used but I’d advice you to use the good one for your concrete works.

_________

Granite at 300k in that axis seems like a good deal to me if it’s full. I bought very full 45 tons 2 weeks ago in Oshodi at 450k.
Unconfirmed source says granite price will go up in coming week again.

Then Nx3t was right, obtaining from the Bush is better and more accurate It then might be more expensive. So why did they all advice her to go buy from the open market when they all knew it was not good? Isn't that deception or withholding relevant information?

If you want complete 2*2,2*3,2*4......its there in the open market. You will just have to spend some good number of hours in the market to sort each out. And it's easier if same is gotten from the bush directly under good arrangement.

As for the 16mm being 12mm and 12mm being 10mm.....you must be joking about this.
