I have also seen people filling the hollow blocks with stone chippings during construction of fence.

...but they’ll still drive on the same road the people they’re running from use daily!

micgray100:
N3XT shouldnt be reffered as Engr.... He is more than that name....

He is a big Consultant in the building industry... Engr. is an understatement....

Are you whining me? I’m just an errand boy wey dey do mighty stuffs if money no be problem.

Good morning

michlins:
if you want to do routine maintenance?

U open it up. I drive on many of the boreholes I’ve done without issh and they’re easy to maintain.

kopell:
How about hiding the the borehole below ground like this

This is better.

kopell:
Bros na wall be this abi waiting he be?

Yep. It is a well

Good neighbor Kwa
Most neighbors won't come out when they hear the sound of gun lol
For example
This building was invaded by efcc officers.
The behaved like thief's to get access to the building in the middle of night.

I already have two Caucasian dogs solid ones. But it seems I will invest in like 3 kangals and two pitbulls to bring my total dog count to 7

The first police officer wey first climb fence go don suffer from dogs before he go think of breaking my door.
And I am sure he will have a hard time shooting 7 dogs.
Make all of us for Nigeria mad together

Smiles. Will the dog go with you everywhere you go?

Nice one. I once did dog until one calabar boy kee my dog.

michlins:
that price is for the cheapest pan oh. Don't use it for your estimate

You asked for the number of 18 gauge sheet needed and its cost and that was exactly what I gave above.

Youll spend less than 700k on 44 PCs of 18 gauge sheet of pan needed to fence a plot of land.

n3xt:
I’m not sure this is good either but I know I’ve not set my eyes on my water pump in a very loooooooong time. Let alone see its wires and control box.

But I’m currently working on something outta box for an ongoing project.

n3xt:
This is not a very good protection for your pump and its accessories.

michlins:
a sheet of pan with dimensions of 8ft by 4ft goes for 15,000 for 18 guage. Calculate how many you need and it's costs

The cost is not much. Less than 700k to insert steel sheet inside the perimeter wall of 600sqm parcel of land.

[quote author=walexProjects post=106107126][/quote]Nice one pros

Greenarrow01:
Don't you think people should start putting and welding iron rods into the building fence or maybe iron sheet
This way when they break the cement block they will still have to face the challenge of iron sheet that has been welded and plastered to the wall.

But then dem go just climb the fence with ladder

The best form of security is good neighborliness.

Daboomb:
I read the below Story on another thread about how EFCC "easily broke into" a House that has Electric fencing, using just Pliers!

This is the link: https://www.nairaland.com/6767588/nora-okafors-ordeal-efcc-25

My worry is that is this how Armed Robbers can easily override the Electric fence we have in our house?
How possible is this?
Professionals, installers and Clients who have this type of Electric Fence in their House should please weigh in.

I dont want to be confident on false hope, if the thing can be so easily overcome.

They broke the fence wall in another reported case.

Request

Anyone with link or contact who sells or have for rent this tool - fiber cement siding shear- should please provide me with info.

Thanks.

Nezzjnr:
It kills the seeds of the weeds inside the Soil for 4-6 months

How much?

Greenarrow01:
@n3xt
This question is specifically for you.
And a one who can help answer it.
Lands in epe axis for agriculture cost between 1.5m or so per acre.
This is around at Augustine university.
But most factories and farmers choose to go to Ogun state, some places as far as 3 hours drive to Lagos.
Lands there cost 300k to 500k per acre.

Pls I will will to ask why people take that decision
Knowing fully well that cost of transportation to Lagos will tell

Very few people sell their produce to Lagos.

Hatesin:
Abeg how much is it now? I need few bags.

Price of cement is location dependent now.

folmus:
Se awon boys wa available for this?

I just sent one of my machine to Abeokuta yesterday.

Boys dey ground anytime.

cuddling44:
Tanks sir.... d weather has been my concern tooo. Am looking to start during d hamattan session November likely to December.. kindly advice me concerning d cement sir.

If there’s a cement depot near you and the fund is available, pay for cement now. Cement prices will likely shoot up in the coming weeks.

Hatesin:
She didn't complain about space, hence, the presumption that she has enough space.

Besides, one must not own a football field before one can mould blocks. I traveled home this weekend to see my parents only to meet the compound partly covered with blocks. What was happening? Our boundary neighbor was building and he begged to extend the moulding to our own compound which my parents obliged him

You need space for block production. 2,000 block no be small quantity when you start.

Hatesin:
Madam mould your blocks manually except you have the money to throw away.

Talking about speed, you can get two moulders and in 3/4 days your blocks are ready.

Fair enough but what about space requirement.

cuddling44:
Good morning my ogas in d house... pls sir am trying to mould my block on my site in kwara state due to finances.. wen i but d land last year November 4cornerpie 9"block was 180... dis year April 9inches was 200.. as at now is 270,300.

COST OF PRODUCING 2,000 BLOCKS 9"
Block sand 40tns@#2,400=#96,000
Cement 50bgs@#3,500=#175,000
Workmanship=#200,000 water=19000
Total=#490,000
@spyder,@egunmogaji@next@kolashange one pls advise me, am working on a tight budget

Find out where you can rent an electric machine and pallets around you. No matter how expensive the person is, he can’t charge you more than 1,200 per bag of cement.
Rent one and get boys to produce your block for you. If you’re too generous, you’ll pay 1,500 per bag of cement to the operator and labourers. The standard rate here in Lagos is 1,000 per bag.

The man is just trying to sell block to you and not assisting you in anyway.

Take note, if he’s going the block in his shop, he’ll still have to pay laborers to wet the blocks, stack it and transport it to various destinations.

Producing at your site should be way cheaper. Maybe around 400k for the 2,000 blocks.
_____________

If you’re doing hand mould, get a moulder that comes highly recommended. If they can achieve 10 bags a day, that’s a good one.
_____________

Remember it’s raining season though. Someone looking to make quick money won’t tell you this is not a good time for experimentation.

Give yourself a little more time for the raining season to be over. Buy all your materials now. Cement is cheaper now. Wait till after the rains to mould your blocks.

If you’re sure of a fair weather though, just go ahead with your moulding.

Wishing you all the best.

somehow:
I plan to build a mini estate with like 1 and 2 bedroom detached flats instead of being in the form of apartments or terraces.

I cherish privacy which makes me believe there are people with same taste but can't build at a go.

How viable is this?

Note : On the mainland.

It depends on how cheap the land is. Building detached 1 bed flat in Lagos mainland is not viable.

One of my friend here recently raised 30 flats on 1 plots of land in mainland.

luvablesam:
Hello, Please I will be needing everyone's opinion on this;

I have this small space I created for kids, I don't wanna install tiles now on the floor(money issues).

What are the cheaper options to tiling apart from just cementing the floor?

I need help. Thanks

Buy cheap rug or carpet.

Jasobry:
I beg to differ, a friend's how was screeded with portland cement since 2013. No defect till date.

The mix matters a lot.

We do most of these sturvs because we don’t know the alternatives are out there.

Would anyone need to screed the fascia on the building below? Kalsiplank was used as a fascia cover instead of doing the conventional timber

I’ll be cladding a media wall in few days.

The wall has been plastered, screeded and awaiting painting. Then I’ll clad it

diordaves:
This should not be difficult to understand. The funny part is that some now gunning all out for screeding (needless aesthetic) probably didn't do German floor (structural necessity) where they think they are saving. Screeding is not spending money in the right place.

The question is how have we been doing it before now.

One of my client said this during the week “We’ve done range plastering. POP guys have screeded all walls. Painters have done painting. Now decorator come put wallpaper on top everything. Is this not waste of money?”
