I appreciate the genuineness of your response. Thumbs up, I think he should find a way to walk around the known communication issues and he would be fine.

n3xt:


There are 3 types of services that people in Skimanski’s class delivers. You can only pick 2.

Good.
Fast.
Cheap.

If it’s Good and Fast, it won’t be Cheap.
If it’s Fast and Cheap, it won’t be Good.
If it’s Good and Cheap, it won’t be Fast.

As per the communication lapses, since it’s a known issue, I’d find a way to work around it to get what I want if it was me.

Wishing you good luck on your project.

Skimanski is not slow though. I have a guy that you need to book at least 6 months to deliver a door. People who values his work use him.

From my over 8 years of frequenting the property section, I can tell u that Skimanski remains the best when it comes to detailed, quality and top notch finishes. Others such as Brabus, Dennis are trying but I don't think they are not upto skimanskis level.

My opinion not bibeli grin

Now diordavies will use this to score cheap points against me. grin grin

The guy did justice to one of my mad contemporary project and I’m wowed.

I’m hopefully returning the favour back to him on one of his project in few days. His client now my prospect told me “Skimanski did the ground work” and I’m like “His level of craftsmanship is written all over the place”

Oga I hail o if you dey hear or read me.

diordavies is an Elder in this section, he would not give u a blow below the belt cheesy

Skimanski now spends time on Instagram.. I'm sure the newbies would be asking who be this Skimanski sef grin grin.....

I miss the good old days when we had several experts commenting with their expertise opinion on various topics... People like segcymoore would break down Civils, substructures and piling projects... Abdulwastecx would bring his FUTminna knowledge and skills, Brabus would come with contemporary designs, lekki real estate knowledge and biz development skills. I remember spyders first project here just before/after he resigned from coca cola, how muyesky was the go to guy for irons works before michilins came into the picture, how rottech grew to become a builder, And so many others I can't remember but what do we have now, names calling and dragging over recommendations wink

Let me make this simple.

Can I do what Skimanski does? NO!

Can I replicate Skimanski’s work? YES!

That’s two different things for those who understand it! There’s too much energy packed inside that guy.

Not without a working guide though.

I agree completely with you. Imitation is always cheaper than inspiration but the end result will always lack originality.

Now you see why someone like Skimanski would require more time on a project than someone who’s only trying to imitate his designs.

Please, kindly help me out. I drilled my borehole on the 8th of August, after all the flushing and installation, my water is yet to clean. I called the engineer, he said maybe the gravel packing was poor and groundwater is zipping into the hole. Please, any remedy? Have added chlorine, alum, caustic soda, yet no changes

depth of borehole? Method of drilling (air or water) ? Diameter of casing used? Lithology of soil ( hard rock or loose soil)?

This should be hdf but we did the hardwood natural color awhile ago.

Yes, the door looks nice and I have seen the prices you quoted for the polished version. The problem I have with these local wooden doors is with how they tend to become warped with time and a little heat.

How do you treat your own products to minimise the warping on the doors?

The wood used are oven baked to dry off all water or moist content it has before any work is done n seasoned thereafter.

Have you tested the sample, if not, You will need to obtain water quality test report, take it to any reliable laboratory for testing, perhaps, the cause might not be any of those mentioned

Greetings to all,

Biko, I have an enquiry to make. We have good, reputable builders in the house, but can anyone recommend someone that can do interior finishes as good or even better than Skimanski? It’s not just about quality finishes but the focus on the details and beautiful end product.

I would have utilized Skimanski’s services, but I keep reading about some his communication and untimely delivery lapses. Any others?

Hello house.
Please advise on the step to take. There is a building built to carcass and set for roofing but abandoned for over 5 years and infested with mighty termites houses and big trees but all were cleared within days. Bricklayers were contacted to screed the floor to avoid further tree growths and termites. Within days, 3 miscreants calling themselves Ajagungbale were disturbing and stopped them from working until the owner pays for german floor. They beat them with all sort of things and siezed their working tools. The family that contracted the 3 men to the lands distanced themselves from these acts and asked the Bricklayers to continue working but the 3 men are still threatening and collected money from the artisans. Please advise on legal and effective action to take on these 3 men.
