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
Well, what I'm thinking is probably gonna be a big deal.
If the white cement can be scrapped off, it would be good, then the cement used for construction can be mixed with water and applied instead. The colour will blend with that of the tile.

Last time I removed grout I used my RotoZip with a grout removal kit. Easy peasy. They have it for Dremel too.

BrabusNG:
3strikes,

This will be my first and the last warning to you. You can go ahead and threaten my folks like you used to do.

It’s payback time.

Just try any of your nuances one more time. I’ll make you become popular for the wrong reasons.

Let me make it clear grin grin

One more of your follies will not be taken lightly. Just mention brabus/n3xt/nexthome/Bosun like you used to do and you’ll be surprised at my revelations.

Let’s first do nairaland dance.



I just mentioned you again Brabus/n3xt/nexthome/Bosun. So Let's see what you've got......... If I stop writing about this issue, it will be because it has gotten so old and I have moved on. It will not be because you asked me to stop telling people about my experience..... As long as you or anyone mention my name, I will definitely respond not with lies but with the truth. The floor is yours now....Enjoy!

@megacontrol

I kept my cool for 7 years believing we will all grow up and move on.

I won’t hesitate to share 3strikes real names and addresses, his wife’s family name and address in Lekki; his threat messages and recordings; the phone numbers of himself and his friends that were used in threatening my family.

I’ve accorded him all the respect a client deserved but he brought his on himself if it gets this far.

If he has anything against me, let him face me in any court.

I reported him already with relevant authorities as far back as 2015 and his case is already logged with ADL.

Remember we thread this path in 2015 and that simple what made him to change from “3strike” to “3strikes”


All puns intended right now.

One more nonsense from 3strikes, I’ll let loose.

Pls house what type of ceiling is this , I seem so much like it , though I think it was painted to fit with the painting of the church. I would love to know if it's plank or plaster board or whatever it made off .

Cc : brabus the original advance Baba Lati
Cc : Egunmogaji the awo agba Baba Ijebu but high Ibadan Chief
And any other people that can give me a clue .
Note : it was used in a Catholic church, Kabba

The roof is most likely reinforced concrete slab with brick finish.

More like it.

I was going to mention exposed beam ceiling but the clay tiles finish on the ceiling gave a clue it’d be reinforced concrete.

Just so you new folks here are all caught up with this story,..... Pls understand that Brabus/n3xt/nexthome/Bosun have more than 5 different monikers / Usernames that he uses to attack, to like his own comments and to quote himself and respond. ( Pure madness and desperation). This is Just a heads up for those who don't know this guy that well....

I like the fact that the truth hurts and will steer my fellow diasporians away from this fraudster.

He Built QC1's home see pics below ....so just ask yourselves who was QC1 referring to?


NB: To all the honest builders in the house this is your time to shine. put customers first and your will soar high. Amen!

I don't want to derail the thread but what if this was your investment, what would you do?

I'm hoping by this weekend I can get couple other clients attention to this post........ we fell into Brabusng's trap and our responsibility now is to prevent other people from making such mistakes.

So if Brabus is threatening to expose my real name and that of my family...He is yet to start. I have had gun held to my head and I still said what I needed to say. He himself knows how this is gonna end. Savages!

Safety and Style | XL6 Trillion

Yes, safety first, but a contemporary house is a work of art you that you don’t have to ignore beauty or style!

On this build with extremely large windows, my client want something bold and beautiful that makes a great impression - a conversation starter.

What do you think about the minimalistic metal protector designs below?

More designs here https://www.kobocity.com/d/157-construction-journal-xl6-trillion-atrium-house-by-nexthome/92

Please kindly feel free to share some great ideas if you have any. I love exploring.

PS: We are not looking for burglary proof designs. We want a simple piece of metal art.

Naijapal:
Few days ago, my pet project, https://www.kobocity.com, was drawn into disrepute when someone questioned our very existent. While I tried as much as I could to remain calm, I was accused of being the same person as brabus, n3xt and as being a fraud the the same fellow, Mmotimo.

Kobocity was birthed on 29th December, 2020 when someone tried to derail this lovely thread; we went live on 1st January 2021. Here is how it began https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1875#97540059 To this moment, the project is open to all to join. It's a community, we can all be proud of.
(naijapal is an account I, mank1234, created for the purpose of promoting the project). I excused myself from kobocity for few days in preparation for a possible shutdown of the platform.

I can announce that Kobocity will not be shutdown. It won't. The many thank you I have received this far is enough motivation to keep it running. I am motivated by the need to serve; my definition of success aligns with Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of success. I want a platform where everyone is respected, and discussion flows without the usual rancor we experience here.

I did promise to make my position known after I do my own investigation.

Based on the information available in this thread and others I could referenced, I couldn't establish that n3xt defrauded anyone (however, in one instance, he recommended someone who did). In my opinion, his major undoing in most of the cases was accepting to refund the complainants when it's not his fault only to halt the refund.
Pertinent questions for his accusers:
*if you recommend someone to do a work for Mr A and the person fails to deliver, should you be saddled with the responsibility of refunding?
*if Mr A gives you the go ahead to do a job and he later decide he doesn't want it again, will you refund for a job already done?
*as someone posted earlier, which fraudster put all his personal information out there willingly and knowingly?


To n3xt, I don't believe that any contractor is fighting you. The issues you failed to nib in the bud is; It doesn't mean that other contractors don't have issues but probably they've learnt the act of conflict management/resolution. Anyone doing a search of your profile would reach the same conclusion as your accuser if the person doesn't read through correspondences.

It's my last post on this. Note:I won't reply quotes of this.


Folks, I have to agree that there is lot of knowledge sharing on this thread. But I also have to warn you that Brabus is like cancer.

Dont give him your money and anything from him should be taken with a grain of salt.


Check out the comment above from Naijapal. Who was acting as a mediator between Brabus and some other people. You can see how he was using that handle (Naijapal) to repair his virtual image. By so doing, his next victims get confuse with all the accusations from past clients and the the praises coming from his other usernames. I hope you all got the drift.

In short Brabus is Naijapal. This is one of his numerous Monikers that he uses on Nairaland.

For the sake of other people on this thread, I will be taking a backseat for now so we all can continue learning while I wait for Brabus to make me Popular grin
