₦airaland Forum

After toiling from one church to another looking for where to serve God, fasting and praying for God to direct me to me where I will serve him, I have finally found, not just a church but a family. They have shown me love which no one or organization has ever done even my family. I am now a proud member of the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINT, I have learned the undiluted word of God. Am now fulfilled in life.
Pls I want anybody on this forum whom I might have abuse or insulted in one way or the other to forgive me. I sincerely love u all

DR IN WHAT?

I don't really know but all I know is they are medical doctor. He said among the two, one of them was even brought up in nigeria and even had some of his education in nigeria why the other one has only his father as a nigeria.
He mention their names but because he was not discussing with me, I have to keep my mouth shut hoping to ask him latter which I latter forgot.

Ahah that moment when your past steers U in da face
We are all guilty of this though.

thanks my oga 4 ur understanding. Since our heavenly father can forgive us why can't us forgive each other

erico2k2:
We did reply to you on there I 4 one did ask you about the stamp plates and where U get them.frm etc.in other news I'm doing stamp concrete for the outer floor of my yard. Beter than interlocking tiles.no grass and no drop in.level.

they where imported sir. But some time if a client need a design or patterns that I don't have, I will rent from my friends.
Installing stamped concrete in ur outer floor yard is a very good idea. It has a lot a advantages over interlocking, especially in term of adding value to ur property and in the aspect of hygiene, though a bit more expensive. I have told many engineers that even laying a waterproof before laying the interlocking will never stop weed on interlocking floor. This is because, 80% of the weeds that grows on interlocking floor are brought by wind. So stamped concrete is always the best.
But stamp concrete has it own disadvantage like
Cracking. To stop these future cracking, u must properly reinforce the floor before the installation. U need to properly sub base, sub grade, the floor, tie your iron mesh or iron rod properly, the mixture of your aggregate is also important especially the ratio of water to concrete. U also need to cure the concrete is any need and make sure the expansion joints are properly placed, and some secrete which I may not reveal here that are my competitive strength.

It's 7PM here, still trying to unwind after getting home from work.

It's hard work but I tell you, some of the pros in here don't even advertise for work anymore as they've established themselves as defector base of knowledge on quality work.

I give you some names like Spyder880, Aventures, Skimanski, etc

So just come in once in a while and see if you can guide us on something. Most especially share your ongoing projects and before you know it folks will start calling your name.

ok thank sir. Also follow me beg fastshipping and all yerobas make them no vex ooo

my oga I think we should not bring a tribal issues into this beautiful topic. That post was reply out of anger. Anybody can write what I wrote. I would have love u bring the topic here for everybody to see what a yeroba man wrote which everybody condemned but I don't want to derail the thread with tribal topic.
In that post a yeroba man lie by posting a picture of a slaughtered man a claimed that igbos have started killing housa people in the east which every body condemned. Do u know that ur post can cause the death of innocent fellow citizens. Can u imagine what will happen if an housa brother hears that his brother is being killed in the east. Is that a that thread a sign of patriotism or where u the person that created that lie.
Concerning your not given me work because of my reply to that post, i think am not regretting posting that. My only regret is that I generalized by calling the yerobas instead of focusing on that useless man, that that was out of anger. But think people should stop posting a thread that will bring problem this country. I want to say am sorry because I used the world yerobas in my post but if u are the person that created that thread, I owed u not apology

My Oga Nabiz, this is a running soap opera of sorts.

You'll need to be a features star and not just an occasional guest star

my oga na work ooo lol. Good morning

EgunMogaji:
Maybe you can reach out to the editors of that magazine.

I am comfortable with up to 6" of flooring. So 4" of poured slab and then up to 2" of flooring is okay with me on my project.

For you maybe, but for me it'll be cheap to bring a USA artisan to Nigeria and family members have done it in the past so I speak from experience.

But it's relative and it depends on what one is expecting to pay for USA style level of finish quality.

PS: In my professional life I am paid well for tackling, resolving and excelling on impossible tasks. I use that training and knowledge to empower myself in my personal life and have managed to accomplish a lot where many have thought there was no way. So I am used to people saying something is impossible and typically take it as a challenge just to prove that it's possible.

The only thing impossible is nothing.

for residential building, 10 to 8cm is okay but must be properly reinforced

EgunMogaji:
E be as e get

I don't see how a well installed interlock like Spyder880 does on his projects can come in cheaper than stamped concrete.

What’s It Cost?

A stamped concrete patio costs $10-$15 per square foot, professionally installed.

Here’s a quick price comparison:
Plain concrete: $6-$12 per sq. ft.
Brick: $14-$20 per sq. ft.
Stone, slate, or marble: $17-$28 per sq. ft.
Concrete pavers: $13-$20 per sq. ft.

EgunMogaji:
I'll be doing concrete stamping inside and outside of my house. Interlocking is too problematic though it provides ability to repair subfloor.

...installing a decorative stamped concrete floor on your property is a good decision. But u have to be careful in other not to fall for cheap offer. Some people are using fake materials there by spoiling the reputable image of stamped concrete job in Nigeria. Some have gone to the extent of downloading and posting the pictures of another people job which I think is an act of pirating and is very bad and must be condemned in nairaland. If u must post a picture of another person's job, I thing u also should make it known to viewers.
Below are do and don't in stamped concrete.
(1)Use color hardener which is specially made fore stamped concrete alone, avoid the use of ordinary interlocking pigment which most nigerians use.

(2) Use imported acrylic sealer for polishing, avoid the one Aba sealer.

(3)Original release agent is the best, avoid the use of water sealant mixed with black cement.

(4)Choose the right aggregate and slab thickness. The standard thickness of a stamped concrete job should be at least 10 to 8cm for drive way. Pls don't go below that.

(5) Insist ur potential contractor must lay iron mesh or 8mm iron rod on the floor before pouring the mixed aggregate(concrete) and if u choose 8mm iron rod, it should be tied at most 1.5 square foot spaced.

(6) Reinforce and sub-grade properly.

(7)Don't ask for site sample alone because almost every body can offer a beautiful sample but will mess up the site when given the job., If u have time, tell ur potential contractor to take u to a site he has personally completed and when he take u to the site, ask people around the if the contractor actually did the job. I know what am talking about. Or if u don't have time, ask for a written quality assurance guarantee. Am not saying am saying am the best but will proudly say am among the few best. lol.

(Expansion joint is very important.

Choose an expert to reduce ur financial and time cost
of supervision.

Inspect the originality of materials once it's brought into ur site, and again make sure the contractor brought the material into ur site sealed.

Would have love to send the pictures of the original materials here but the network is very bad to upload the pic.

Anyone heard of concrete floor with stamping to look like interlocking?


So I was talking to couple of people about the different option of floor I can do for my compound instead of doing the interlocking stone. Someone mentioned concrete floor with stamping. he did say that its way cheaper than the interlocking stone and that the stamping will give it the interlocking look.


Can someone please advice.

sorry for coming in late. I once posted on this beautiful topic referred to me by Egunmogaji, when I told people to ask me any question on stamped concrete but packed out when know one responded, but I think am back again so u can ask me any question that concerns decorative stamped concrete.
