Yes you can use Spy camera
Spy cameras are much better for indoor purpose, some of them could be a wall clock or even a teddy bear hanging on the wall.

A visible out door camera is ideal if you ask me, having the idea that you are been watched will make one comport themself. A dummy camera works very well too.

no fancy steel gate?


How do you want me to eat grin angry sad
Trust me you will build iron dwarf fences, that would be the premium fence in such scenario. Lucky you, if you choose, you will be in this business till Jesus come again because security can never be fixed in a country where majority of the people are very hungry.

The cost of securing a house in Nigerian is very expensive. We pay over and over again to achieve one aim.
* Build a prison wall
*Build a gate
*install electric fence/barb wire
*employer security man and build him a house
*install CCTV camera
* You add one more dude to your household in the
name of a dog.

It is well according to church goers.

Dude, i will need the total cost of this application per SQM. Labor, material, and installation. I am experimenting on Alternative Surface treatment. Plastering is the cheapest and readily available method, but i believe one should be able to find another materials that are cheaper and still effective for external usage such as Fence wall. [b]What we currently spend on perimeter walling is stupid in my Opinion. [/b]The thing dey always vex pesin!!!
If only we have security, a dwarf wooden fence should do with no need for a fancy steel gate either.

Both are roofing plank

The diff is that the 1st one is
12ft and very straight

The 2nd one 10.5ft looks rough, not straight enough, it’s the regular one you see at every plank mkt
I get it. I was curious because am looking at buying roofing woods next week.

Thanks

The issue is that, in most western region plank seller association market, they peg it down that there wood size will be 10.5ft long and is killing the Beauty of formwork and others wood work finishings

You can only get special size in few mkt now ( let’s say 10pec) and when you hear the price you will run like USAIN BOLT

Sawmill Eku:
2 by 4=#1,900
2 by 3=#1,550
2 by 2=#1,100
2 by 6=#3,500
3 by 4=#2,000

This is price I got last week …… 11ft ooo (bandsaw)

But normal “fadala is
Full size
2 by 4=750
2 by 3=#600
2 by 2=#450
3 by 4=#1,250
2 by 6=#1,250
1 by 2=#2,500

Look at the price diff
My client saw pls buy the “fadala “
The diff In price is too much
Are they roofing wood quality? Whhats the physical difference between both wood?

I got you 100%

The QS some months ago asked me to terminate the contract after seeing his attitude towards the project, but I kept condoling his beggings and excuses.

Decided to change when he couldnt do more than 1 day job out of 14 days given to him by my lawyer to make amends after wasting 4 months plus.

We're a different breed when it comes to tolerance but he took his grace far when he came here to claim only atrium cover was left.

So insulting. (Not new to me though, he often goes abusive when his lies and excuses are laid bare to him).

Alof of elders won't talk on this thread because they already gave him a thumbs down when I enquired of them.

So it's like, "we told you he's a leopard, but you chose to take him to the car wash with the hope of washing off his spots"

Funny but irritating.
At the bolded

Ive notice a lot people doesnt say a word when its N3xt matter, its either they are scared, they are tired of the back and forth wahala or they dont want to loose potential clients... when the wahala is over they will all start chatting here again freely.

If you know something, say something.

N3xt - is it possible you stop posting new jobs and or jobs in progress until you have resolved this pending one?, at least thats how its done in a sane community.

Good evening everyone.

Please I need your help and advice both professionally and by experience.

I recently did a 40ft tank stand for a client and there are going to be six(6) 750 gallons. The issue is that the plumber said the client should buy a pumping machine after buying a sumo.

So my question is,is that necessary. Isn't the sumo enough to pump water to the tanks and then gravity will bring it down. The plumber is saying that the sumo can't do that job effectively and should be supported by a pumping machine.
Is this the project you are handling in my home town?

A similar statement made was some years back by Brabus, I remembered he saying that it boils down to the quality of workmanship of the plasterers.. even brabus now screeds his buildings... I think screeding has come to stay
Maybe telling your workers you do not intend screeding the house even if you intend to will make them give you a good plaster job. I plan doing this.

Depending on the neighborhood, a more appealing house could attract higher rent, tenants too like showing off where they live even when its not their house.

If it will stress you up installing stone coated roof, you really dont have to but if you can afford it, it would be better to help make the estate look uniform.

A typical naija man by default would always think cost before benefit?

What this literarily mean is that we believe a 10l capacity water heater at N30k is cheaper than a 100l capacity water heater at N120k.

The first thing we always look at is the price tag.

Most businesses understand this simple naija man mentality and this explains why our market is flooded with satchet drinks and daily need items.

_________

On the other hand, we also consider ownership cost and cost of maintenance/replacement.

__________

Lastly, we live for likes while looking for love.

As the poster above me just shared, “I go dey look you like a spoiler” na him push many people to buy what they don’t need to impress the people they don’t like.

“All room en-suite”
“Water heater in all bathroom”
“Turkey door in all room”
“Gerald or nothing else”
“Casement window or better. I’m not doing less undecided

I'm in a delima...i building in an small estate, where everyone around me is using stone coated roof, I intend to use steptiles on my 3/2 semi detached bungalow.. What would you advise, would it look odd in thier midst?
It will be obviously odd, but if thats what you can afford, go for it. Again if your house is next to mine in the same estate " i go dey look you like spoiler".

On the sarcastic side of it, when EFCC start arresting people in the estate, you will be the last person to be arrested.

My build omonile wanted to supply all the materials at the beginning of my project, despite paying them their foundation money. It took military action to get them out.

Experience is the best teacher, unfortunately, mine came with a bitter one.

From the young energetic Tiler vouching that the stains on the tiles would go off once the tiles are done (the stains are still there till date) to brick guy reassuring me the bricks would be okay (i sent the bricks outcome here)

Now, if it’s not okay to me.. i do advice them to do the needful immediately.
The truth is Artisans can tell if you are a first time builder. Most of them will take advantage of it and sell you whatever. The first time I bought a car and I had a problem with the caliper, instead of the mechanic telling me one of the bolt holding the caliper has worn out, he told me the TRIANGLE MECHANISM is bad and will need a replacement... na so I carry money give am he ended up buying just a bolt and pocket the rest of the money. I figured out when the same problem occurred and I took it to a different mechanic who told me everything that I needed to know and said there is no such thing like TRIANGLE MECHANISM in a car.
