Not every white though. I’ve seen white that stand test of time.

#You are very correct my boss.

You do not expect to get same things with someone that used white high quality Matt emulsion with a person that used low white standard emulsion in their exterior’s to have same results at the long race.

No Magic worked that way

And some clients are very economical when you try to advise them to get the best quality they will tell you that paint is paint that is your product that is too expensive or stop replying your DM.

May God help us and provide for our wonderful clients.

How I love the internet, it does not forget! This was my initial unbias contribution to the pre-ordered doors issue. Flesh and blood did not tell me what the outcome of the matter would be if not settled to the satisfaction of both parties.

The only reason I chose to comment on yesterday’s issue was simply because I knew your position when the issue was raised.

I knew you were all out yesterday to level up and nothing more.

Let me make something clear here today to most artisans on this thread.

I may not write most cheques here but I knew about most of the projects you guys are handling even before most of ya are contacted. At least the ones discussed with me by your respective clients.

The door issue wasn’t an exception. I know everything including the plans for the tank tower bla blah.
I know how the client has been trying to use less to achieve more on her project without making any mistake so we are always in constant communication as she make every move.

Madam Eyinne, pls kindly move on. I’m just a dm away. Come give me gists jare grin grin

I don’t know much about paints but I know good quality and I go for it.

I use high-powered pressure washer to wash my wall and the paint don’t flake or wash away. So I agree with your submission that paint is not paint. Paint get level!

I had an elderly white man who is a Harvard graduate as my maths professor in my first year of college. He knows the stuff, far beyond what a student at our level would know. Occasionally, he would look at us and say, "guys, my most regret would be to pass away without impacting on as many people as possible the maths knowledge that I have."

And I agree with him. Of what use is knowledge if not used to create solutions? It is a shame that In a thread as big as this, not even one person could suggest a practical solution to that issue.

The energy that have been deplored so far in throwing blames around would have been used in finding cost effective solution to redesigning the back of the doors. Don't tell me there is none. Even if there is none, necessity they say, is the mother of invention.

And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? ~ Isaiah 6:8

I set the ball rolling because I know you can’t be a judge in your own case.
You can’t be a skipper and the umpire in a game without bias.

That’s why our own side “I come in peace” left your own side “Abeg Leave Fake peace” to propose the solution to the problem.

So it wasn’t like we don’t know what to do. We actually chose to douse the tension by subtly passing the information that it was an honest mistake and it could happen to anyone.

Remember I also tried to wade in when you were going to take on the vendor because of this issue.

I even went as far as saying “As for the finishing, I can’t really say much from a distance” because my comment directly or indirectly might affect how the client will take the matter.

You didn’t even see where I wrote my only door has plain back grin

Once again my job is to make things work without dramas.
______

As close as I am to Eyinne on her project, I don’t influence any of her decision. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even discuss anything with her on the door matter.

Most people here (clients) know that I’ll always defend the vendor.

______

EDIT:

How’s your role different from someone who subtly ask that the vendor share all necessary information to avoid ambiguity?
I thought you recommend that the vendor should always take all angle shots in future projects and there was no issue. I guess it’s because you’re a prospect grin

Even though I don’t write cheques, I know when the vendor in question was having issues getting a welding machine to work in one of his Lagos project and I told the client I’d have sent in a welding machine if I heard about it early enough.

Context is very important in any discussion
You don't go to an online car dealership and after seeing the pictures of car, you request for how the engine was coupled
You don't go a restaurant and after seeing the menu and sample pictures of the food, you request for the recipe
You dont go to a shoe maker shop and after seeing the shoe designs, you request for how it was glued
The doors in question, the issues was solely on finishing design an not integrity or production method.
Detailed pictures would have shown all physical appearance of the doors but would hardy be relied upon or tell anything about product process

I don’t have to request for this because the company will definitely provide me with an owner’s manual showing all the details.

A few years back, I went to test drive all the latest range of BMW. The first thing the sales rep handed me was the owner’s manual.
________

I bought a pair of shoe from Gene Bendi. The thing the sales guys sold me was how it was handcrafted. He was showing me the lines.
_________

I did some Swatch collection. The first thing the store guy handed me was a complete handbook of their collection that year detailing what goes where.


On this particular issue, we were only trying to remedy a bad situation. It’s not like we are trying to paint the vendor black.

I can tell you that the intention was pure and noble.
________

The vendor pushed too far and went into defensive mode when it’s actually unnecessary.

I think you group need to apologize to our group and let’s make up over a bottle of non-alcoholic Henessey. grin grin

I have been on Nairaland for some time now and have never won a single argument. I know it’s nothing to be proud of, but what’s the gain in extending this one.

I based the height on 2.7 m.
I understand your measurements are in feet.


For painting a 12x12 room, you should consider 4 walls sir.
