I find the attached on Nairaland Front Page very funny, so thought I should report it here and share it with Builders, Engineers, and homeowners who are fond of doing conduit waste piping up and down instead of surface piping. I come in peace.

n3xt: Surface piping will not stop blockage but fixing the blockage is a cinch as against conduit piping where you need to practically break down the whole structure to fix a blockage. 3 Likes |

Well done my ogas here. The ibedc fixing prepaid meter in building adviced against using electrical cut out, because it may result into the meter going into code. I already fixed the cut out Please is this reasonable? Thanks for your assistance |

n3xt: The problem is that price is not always commensurate with quality. It is a matter of luck that you end up with a concentious service provider and I have my eye on a few of them here. Alas, the Nigerian environment encourages (nay, rewards) as much corner cutting as you can get away with in my experience. Being brought up in a certain way, I don't haggle too much on pricing upfront because I understand living has to be made. I certainly don't compromise on quality. I'd like to think I'm no mugu too lol and it's not a matter of death in the grand scheme of things. So, an esteemed Nairaland contractor supplied my kitchen drawers. In less than three years, all the hinges are gone (see below) ... we're having to replace them all. These hinges are normally hidden within the cabinets, they come with the job. Should I have sent them away for laboratory tests before commissioning? #shrug 5 Likes

n3xt: @jabolo When it comes to a certain part of my projects, I prefer the owner make their pick. Here’s pics of my minimalist kitchen installed 8 years ago. I just checked the drawer pull and sliders and they’re still very good. I was filled ecstasy seeing the brushed nickel finished drawer pull still shining after many years until I saw pic 4 which was picked by my installer It was then I remembered I picked the most of the drawer sliders myself and even kept some spares for other projects. The original drawer sliders that I picked myself ones have well lubricated bearing. ______ Pic 1 - During install in 2013 Pic 2 - Brushed Nickel Pull Pic 3 - Drawer Slider with Lubricated Bearing Pic 4 - Rusty Drawer Slider 1 Like

n3xt: We're on the same page then. From your perspective as a service provider, it must be shocking that unless the client micro-manages the contractor (to the last nail, to the last drawer slider), most of them will use what they will get away with. 4 Likes |

ETÍ ILÉ COURT Some even say, home is where one starts from, but we say home is at Etí-Ilé Court. Etí-Ilé is a Yoruba word that means "By the home or" Close to the home. Etí-Ilé was the name given to a portion of land bought and formerly owned by FORMER PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO when he bought the land in 1979 in Abeokuta. The idea behind the name was influenced by the fact that the portion of land was close to his home in Abeokuta, hence he named it Etí-Ilé.

jabolo: One other thing that might come as surprise here is that I used MDF as a base for my drawer but with the help of a clear non-slip waterproof drawer liners installed, the MDF base are still intact as if it was recently installed. I bought the liners with just less than 7k back then. I saw a damaged kitchen cabinet at a client’s place sometimes ago and I’m like “Wow! This is very terrible.”

When we talk about some of this small challenges, I just laugh atimes because they are nothing compared to the projects I’ve worked on several years ago. We hardly talk 40 toilets project here. Attached below is M/E and smarthone integration plan from one of the popular mega structures in Ikeja, Lagos that we worked on in 2007. It has over 150 toilets
