Is that all you’ve got?

Brabus underquote to build a 3 floor building for you with just N12m

Anyway, did you pay him extra money on your build? grin grin

Was the project delivered within schedule or not?


May I remind you of your pickup line when you called me... You seem to have forgotten how much you begged me and how you told me the stories of....

You seem to have forgotten your message to me when I completed your raft with meagre 2.5m using my marine boards and my dump truck to deliver sand. You’ve forgotten how you jumped for joy and told me you’ve never believed raft won’t cost less than 4.5m and how you’ve been watching closely to see if I’m not cutting corners.

I can send you screenshots of some of your msgs though to refresh your memory or maybe you ask Kazeem grin

____

At what point did you realize Brabus work was unsatisfactory? Remember he doesn’t take money for a new milestone until the client is satisfied with the one paid for.

Was it at the beginning or the middle or at the very end after he has delivered and moved on?

Or you were saving it up?? grin grin

The gullible ones will buy your stories.

____

Please stop doing this in front of your kids o because All liars will become a thief grin grin

____

I gave you the f*cking house you begged me for. At least give me some credit na grin


_____
If I don’t respect clients confidentiality, I’d have leveled up bro. I’ll make you popular for the wrong reasons.

Remember you said you will kill my friend, my wife and my children and you sent your squad after them.




I think you should share the Bolded. So Everyone here can see.

Share & Move on. Please Share the screenshots here...

I think we've been here before.

Adhesive is most cost effective on a polished off floor. On a tapped floor (Nigeria style) you will have the added challenge of first leveling off the floor at a cost to enable you use the adhesive proper as a gum. In this situation, you then use the adhesive very sparingly with huge savings.

I noticed you didn't polish off your "German floor" or did I miss it? You are preparing to pour your decking, maybe you are not going to polish this off as well. In these circumstances, I'm not sure adhesive will be cost effective set against the time tested sand + cement as leveller.

If you use adhesive also as a leveller, the cost outcome will be interesting and worthy of note for future reference. And also, the final aesthetic outcome of the layed tiles will also be interesting. Will the tiles be level?

If adhesive turns out to be cheaper and with the same outcome, then adhesive is the way to go instead of interlocking the living room as some have previously suggested.

I don’t see how the adhesive will handle the uneven floor either but I’m willing to learn new stuff.

I’ve done this and shared here before at OPIC Isheri. Pics below.

Please take note the floor wasn’t screeded ahead of laying the tiles like we normally do while using the OPC cement+sand approach.

Just few qty of sand was added to the tiles adhesive with OPC to fill up the uneven spaces. Nothing more.

I’m not sure the worse of uneven DPC floor would be as bad as the floor below.

The pic above is a leveled floor as opposed to the rough surface in the pic below grin

There’s absolutely a need to compensate for the uneven surface but not the conventional way. Just by adding few mortar to the mix.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 6:11am On Apr 09, 2021
If the adhesive can work on the surface above without using the conventional approach, I doubt it’ll pose any issue on a surface like the one below.

Well my job is to make it work... I have two bags of Supafix to put this to test on different surfaces (wall, floor, wood, steel, concrete, sandcrete block, plastered, unplastered etc).

There’s no harm in trying. 5k experiment can’t hurt.

Lafarge is not doing well promoting this solution. I’m sure it’ll reduce our over-reliance on OPC cement.

A smart approach would have been to give some of these adhesive to beta testers to try it out and give their feedback on public forums.

Naija business people sha grin

Could it be based on market research? As in not many interest?

No o! Big construction companies (elected ones) have been using this solution for years in Nigeria but the marketing team were so relaxed to get them to review the product on the public forum.

The promotional items given were so boring. I’d do a better job promoting such a very good solution.

Even @MMotimo can attest to this.

That’s how we roll here until trolls and cry babies came to divide us.

This is the place where we demystify construction in Nigeria. You bring your wild ideas and we wow it to life here.

We are not here to build for everyone but to build a community for knowledge exchange.

I’ll encourage you to learn how to swim with the sharks as it often get hot in here once a while.

Thanks for the mention. You inspired us to do more.

You can never have it bad with brabus on your project. He be like say devil dey control some people though.

How can someone who gave you 1st project and second project be complaining of fraud grin at what point did it happen?
Does it mean he defrauded you while building your first 2 houses and you gave him no. 3 to build?

Let’s reason these things na!

There’ll always be altercations and differences on projects. Resorting to cheap blackmails is not always the fix.

Even my friend whom we have an altercation yesternight wasn’t shy to say it as it is until the devil entered him.

These tiles at my uncle's place are almost 10 years old. The white lines in-between them ain't cool with us the younger Gens, but him & older Gens no send. He said we can do what we want tho.

So experienced gentle men, can anything be done to make those white lines become black? (Replacing the tiles ain't an option)

Thanks
