kopell:
Bosun you to much, who told you so. Even those with deep pockets are feeling the heat this time, except they are in government

There’s something about us in this part of the world. Our herding mentality and wanting to feel accepted according to society’s standards is making us to buy what we don’t need with the money we struggle to gather to impress people.

I have sympathy for fixed income earners in this economy

hamtabfawaz:
I still can't figure out why Some clients & Installers don't consider the bolded before installation.

It’s not for the client to consider or imagine, its for the AV installer to recommend and propose right solution.

In our part of the world, anyone who can slap 2 piece of furniture together is automatically a media wall installer so long it can hold a TV and hide wires.

KelvinCoaster:
Check 'kobocity.com'
I think you can find help there!

Sure. It’s not impossible. There’s a lot you can achieve on 300sqm

Focusmind:
Clearer. Thanks

Here’s 4m unsupported cantilevered carport roof.

We just completed the framing today.

Focusmind:
Ok. Good. There are about 4 blocks

Let me make it easier.

Focusmind:
Good one bro. But is that cantilever up to 2.25m? I thought it should be longer

Count the number of blocks and multiply by 450mm

It’s 2.25m

Z-Port by NextHome | Defying The Odds

Ongoing construction of a modern carport. Disrupting what is with what could be.

mountmoriah:
dey rest body small small bro o, we dey plenty here, professionals that can be helping you small small, so u go fit dey rest ooo bro, Because never do any work, u just dey start.

Steel is actually the best for roofing, but with this kobocities we dey build, with daily increase in price of materials.

Many Nigerians won't be able to afford steel roof.

You have really helped your client suggesting the steel in lieu of woods because 11m roof beam that is 36.3ft bro, that much, best suggestion

Dem talk say I did it for my selfish interest as if the roof will be installed in my house.

The earlier we start considering lightweight steel construction, the better for us. It’s far cheaper in the long run but most people always consider the present and not the future.

I have a project that requires very solid woods though I intend supporting it with steel beams due to span. Just like I did in my chateau, I’m happy to pay more than market price for solid woods.

mountmoriah:
Because they are special woods for special purposes

you can't use it for roofing carcass wood work.

No architect, engr, qs, builder or roofers will recommend it for roofing.

The prices they gave him above is too outrageous for woods to roof house.

Pressure treated woods are expensive not for roofing.

Good for flooring, staircase, etc

Bro u no dey sleep?

You have a valid point but I’ve had a very special occasion where it was recommended on one of my build due to the unsupported span of the roof beam (11m).

We eventually opted for steel instead.

I do sleep bro.

mountmoriah:
You are welcome sir, good morning to you.

All the woods we sell and supply in benin are machine saw woods or saw woods, from benin, achi, to the east.

Very rear before u find a sawmill in these regions with falada or alamole woods.

We have a very big sawmill before Edo State University.

All the works I have done in benin was done with straight good iron woods, the carpenters must use anti rust uk standard nails for the joining, from Wall plate 3x4, to King Post 2x6, 2x4 for the beams and strut joints, 2x3 for the purlins and semi hard for 2x2 ceiling noggin.

We are also trying to let house owners know that they don't need ceiling noggins for project they will install pop ceiling or boards, expect they are using pvc, 2x2 ceiling noggin is necessary for that one.

I will create a ticket for that.

The prices I gave u is for machine saw woods.

Straight woods.

Pls give me price of good and straight iron roofing woods to Oshodi, Lagos.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects with us even when we’re not advertising.

I closed 3 more deals in your estate already. They just won’t stop coming

Accept my congratulations in advance.
Na you gangan be my man of the year!
You kept going despite the fact that they’ve almost turned your project into something I cannot describe.

I learnt a lot from your perseverance and tenacity. That’s exactly what separate men from the boys.

Shockingly, we didn’t kill anyone while trying to manage a very bad situation. We managed to carry everyone (the good, the bad and the ugly) to the finish line except those who don reach their bus stop.

I’m glad you’re happy!

How to install Large and Expensive TVs on hollow walls

Though I’ve even a lot of beautiful Media Wall designs recently. I’ve only seen a very few professional installations of large TVs.
Most installers just do a direct install on the hollow block and that’s it.

All that said, I need to reemphasize this valuable information that “a hollow block is a poor mounting surface for walls holding expensive and large TVs.”

Unless your hollow block is filled and you can hit the filled cavity directly, I’d advice you not to roll dice on installing your expensive and large TVs directly on hollow surfaces, the risk is pretty high.

Beyond risk of pull out, installing your media wall directly on hollow surfaces can lead to condensation unless there is sufficient insulation that can keep your boards above dew point.

A lot of people do chose form over function. We do things different.
