What is the name and colour of this board and will it be used for the wardrobe.

No wonder. Iam sure you have a link to the famous bronze casters in Benin kingdom or you must have been going to Igun road to watch them do their artistic magic.

enrilove12:
You mean like this?

Something like that especially for the fence. The gate here is half covered. Still considering whether to go for this or the one that is fully not covered.

FastShipping:
I need one too within the next 10 days. Preferably, non motorized sliding gate. It has to be simple and aesthetic.

Like these....

Saving the first picture for future use. Never like a gate that you cannot see what is going on outside when you are inside. I read somewhere that it is not advisable to have your front fence to be all walls and gate enclosed. My front fence will be a combination of blocks and metal and then a gate like the first picture.

@spyder880, iam back again. Just came back from the village where i was able to measure the areas that
i want to do concrete flooring and interlocking. This is attached. I have broken the areas into sections.

Concrete flooring sections
===================
Section A - 35ft x 16ft
Section B - 74ft x 63ft
Section C - 52ft x 18ft

Interlocking sections
===================
Section D - 94ft x 16ft
Section E - 44ft x 38ft

Please is it possible you help me with an estimate of these various sections. Other contributors and insights are welcomed.

@spyder880, now that elections and election fever are over, is it possible you help me look at this request.

NL1960:
@spyder880, how is Interlocking work priced?. I have reached that stage in my project.

NL1960:
Oga spyder880, this question is still awaiting your response as i need to take a decision on whether to do concrete flooring or do interlocking.

spyder880:
Interlock tiles are charged by square metres as well as by whole calculations for the whole compound. A contract that specifies the work in square meters will have cost for tiles and cost for laying (usually N300) for each square meter. A lot depends on the design, thickness and pattern of the work you want to determine the charge of each meter. For work of a whole compound, you have to specify where and how you want your kerbs and flower positions.
You could buy the interlock tiles and call in a layer to work or ask them to produce and lay the tiles.

NL1960:
Wa o. Thanks. This is fine.

Will send you a mail to ask you some questions.

@Dominion Decor. The ideas we discussed on email was passed to my furniture guy. Was at home during the Easter to see what he has done and it came out fine. Unfortunately, i forgot my camera and so could not take pics of it.

Thanks for the tips.

REVAMPINTERIOR:
@ NL1960 i think you also need to consider heat, glass generates a lot of heat. Except if your house has air condition on most times, if not its not advisable.

I suggest that you use a plaster board and the part that touches the floor should be elevated a bit to avoid being wet (water spoils it quickly) then a cute water proof wall paper will be an advisable finishing.

Thank you

Thanks for you response. Was able to communicate with another Nairalander by name Dominion Decor through calls and emails. He gave me some useful and good insights which i have passed on the person that will do the job. It is a small area that iam blocking.

Dominionng:
Alright Sir

Partitioned wall Sir.

Wa o. Thanks. This is fine.

Will send you a mail to ask you some questions.

Dominionng:
Other bedrooms..

Are these block walls or partitioned walls?.

DRealGeesam:
5kva will cost about N1.2m

N1.2m for 5kva and that means 2.5kva might come to about N600k. That is where the problem is. How many people have between N600k to N1.2m to commit at once to solar?. Solar is cheaper in the long run but remember that in the long run, we are all dead according to the Economists. If somebody for example wants to go to solar, for how many years will he need to save up the amount and what happens before then?.

These are the issues why solar is not popular. The startup cost is much and not many people have that amount. A barber that operates a barbing salon cannot afford that initial cost but he can easily afford a 1.2kva generator and fuels it everyday from the proceeds of his business and when there are no customers, he does not use the generator which means the fuel is conserved.

A furniture person, usually a good carpenter.

Thanks. Somebody told me yesterday but i doubted it and so i said that let me come to the knowledge base of Properties section of Nairaland.

NL1960:
@spyder880. Iam considering doing a small partitioning with wood in my sitting room. Do you have an idea of the type of wood that will be suitable for this.

spyder880:
I think plywood will serve you better.

@spyder880. Who normally does such partition job?. Is it a furniture person or a special partition person.

segcymoor:
Very cheap:20k and 5k respectively. ...it's actually available in market

Which exact market or markets can i get them so that i can go there to select. Iam not familiar with any market selling them in Lagos.

@REVAMPINTERIOR. Iam considering blocking a section of my house sitting room. I do not want to use cement block. Iam looking at a partitioning and somebody suggested a thick glass but iam more tuned to wood because of cost and also because i can decide to remove it future. What do you think.

spyder880:
Interlocking stones are not meant to be fixed on the ground to stick, they are meant to be dropped into position to sit on the bare sand. Since sharp sand is not supposed to sink into the ground after good ground treatment, it is solid enough to bear weight, even to e driven on.
The cellophane on the other hand is made to seal off contact with organic matters beneath the interlock stones and prevent the possibility of growth of grass. It also helps to keep ground water dew from finding their way to the surface. Its a new inclusion to interlocking works.

Wa o. Very insightful. I have learn a new thing today. Thanks for this insightful perspective.

Btw, when you say cellophane, is it the one street people like me call nylon?.

brabus:
Professional tilers can do the installation but there are specialist artisan who handles glass block installation.

Thanks.

blitzman:
Hello guys,

Pls help a brother out. What can i build with 5 million and I do not want a bungalow......

Preferably a 3 or 4 bedroom duplex.

Pls help.....

You can start a duplex with that and then make a commitment of putting a certain amount every year. I built my duplex in the village over a 4-year period and even though i moved in December last year, there are still some little things i still want to do on it.
