When I moved into my house 15 years ago we re-wired, re-plumbed and moved some walls around, replaced the kitchen, got windows replaced etc within 4 months of purchase.

This meant I got all the dusty, grotty "foundation type" jobs out of the way and then I re-decorated etc after the dust had settled and we'd lived there a while so knew how we lived in the rooms and also how the changing season effected the light etc.

I left one room because I ran out of steam! This room is still painted magnolia and has polystyrene tiles on the ceiling - my next project it has to be said. I will start with flooring here https://www.festfloor.eu/

Hello guys, please I need advise on hand rails for balcony and staircase. I intend buying Batista handrails but the price per meter is quite high. What other very good alternative can I use like fabricated iron with anti rust with very good quality and durability. Thanks in advance

You should note that inverter/solar are not meant to replace grid totally. You are not using solar to power an AC or water heater. My solar or inverter are to power LED bulbs, fan, charge phones and laptops and provide you basic comforts at home.

My deep freezers, ACS, and other high energy appliances are to be powered by grid or generator.

I absolutely hate having to use generators and needed a package that would carry all essentials including my freezer. When no grid, I substitute fans for AC. I just keep generator for pumping water if no light for extended periods. We conquered the no light issue we only switch off if all out.

what is the size of your land.

60 x 120 or 50 x 100?

Is it waterlogged or dry land?

Do u want to use 6 inches or 9 inches?

With this little calculation below you can help yourself, if you can't, I can help u with the calculations.

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks, i have been using this method for years without any mistake, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 50 blocks.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks from one pillar to the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns or pillars )

90 tons of Sharp Sand or dagbolu.

Let me know if this help m

Wow, this is a detailed tutorial, thanks. I'll let you know if I have more questions.

Greetings my ogas in the house.
Someone posted a very detailed explanation of how to evict troublesome tenants here a while ago by shortening the notice period and serving the notice before the rent is due.
I can't remember the exact post and want to forward it to a client in similar situation.
I will appreciate a link to the post.

The amount is dependent on your plan, the L X B X H will be used to work out an assessment fee for you. Hence, prior information from other person's might not be completely helpful to you.

Modified.
The attached plan was cleared today at ikorodu town planning office. unto the next stage

Good luck.

Nawa oh! Sorry oo oga.

The guy said': Please indicate, so i can contact you':

Please oo, how else should he have put the request or what's the best/right choice of words?

Perhaps he should have said :My lord & Potential Master to be, Please kindly contact Me:

Lol, No wonder Most bosses in Nigeria act like a god over their employees. A god who needs serious homage for every little thing.

Lol, Hmm, Nigerians and their stupid sense of entitlement.
