Get re-usable second-hand tiles, or broken tiles,

Thank you so much. Do they sell second-hand tiles?

Are broken tiles good?

Tank u sir.... I will be on ground
D machine moulder man is demanding for 200k for 50 bags of cement at 40 per bag for 9inches.. d hand moulder is demanding 700 per bag but i promise to pay 1000 for a good job... how much should I negotiate with the machine guy..

Well, I have not used machine before. I had only used hand moulders and I monitored the mixing. As for the hand moulder, you don't have to over pay him just for him to give you a good job.

The secret is in the mixing and compacting. The blocks I moulded since 2017 which are still in the site unpacked are still intact with no signs of having been touched by rain.

Broken tiles are good if a good tiler installs them for you.

Simply put, they require good workmanship.

Hi guys,

Greetings,

I want to construct a livable Tiny Wooden house next month.

The property is ready... fenced and gated.

I'm constructing it myself with some help from my girlfriend as a way of gaining some wood working experience.

Can it be done with an estimate of N500k?

The pictures below are a sample, although without the glass doors.

My resume.

My resume.

This looks nice, pretty simple and straightforward.

However, it seems more or less like a box or square and I don't want that.

Does it have room for a bathroom and toilet?

I am still drawing my plan, but it might look something like the attached below.

fufu pounding has been stressing using the manual method and we have designed a machine that can reduce your stress and make you a millionaire in months
have been using this machine for two years and have made money through this awesome fufu machine

about the machine

its easy to operate
its pounds the fufu very smoothly and can be consumed after pounding immidiately
doesnt habour microbes as the machine has a pot that can be cleaned after use
uses fuel as its source of power
less noise and can be used in your kitchen

That was just a 10X12 tool shed that I built in Texas. No bath or toilet. I just shared it as an indicator of what’s possible.

Okay boss.... Looks like what I want to put up, except for the length and perhaps, the height.

Water. The wall there for some reason is retaining water. It could be from the plumbing works there.
Solution: ensure there is no leakage of water there. Your plumber can do that.
There is a possibility the paint is weak and absorbent thereby retaining water there instead of allowing it to flow off or dry off.
Without regular moisture, you can't have the growth.

Good morning my ogas in d house... pls sir am trying to mould my block on my site in kwara state due to finances.. wen i but d land last year November 4cornerpie 9"block was 180... dis year April 9inches was 200.. as at now is 270,300. And I need like 2000 9inches block.. if i should mould manually it will be 341,000 , (workmanship is 700 per bag but promised to give him 1000) i contracted a machine block moulder man dis is d quotation he sent.. which should i use pls. He is bringing d machine to my site and is d same ilorin.. owe much should i pay him last....

COST OF PRODUCING 2,000 BLOCKS 9"
Block sand 40tns@#2,400=#96,000
Cement 50bgs@#3,500=#175,000
Workmanship=#200,000 water=19000
Total=#490,000
@spyder,@egunmogaji@next@kolashange one pls advise me, am working on a tight budget

Bros... Go and buy block in the block industry and try all you can to get a good bargain... say 250 per one.. safe yourself the stress of monitoring block moulder because of 2000 blocks... Physically observe the block yourself in the block industry by carry one each in your two hands... fling it a little and see it doesn't brake... if it breaks.. it means there is not enough cement of bad sand.
Pay as you go is always good in construction industry before you enter one chance like me that ended being pity here on my borehore project..

Again... Mould block of 2000quantity doesn't what the stress... many things to consider... Sand, cement, water, labour and quality..(vibrated block)

The estate is around ikola Alagbado,very close to command ipaja

Do you feel the 10% of price land isn’t it?

I’m confused here

There is no confusion here.

I asked for the name of the developer, you didn't give.

If you are interested in the land, you have to pay what they asked you to pay. I have given you info of what I know. That 50k is not a survey. May be a layout/sketch of your plot.

Good luck!

Up to ten of this should fit on a 50x100 feet plot. If done right it could be an ultimate “mosafuneto” endeavor.

I plan to build a mini estate with like 1 and 2 bedroom detached flats instead of being in the form of apartments or terraces.

I cherish privacy which makes me believe there are people with same taste but can't build at a go.

How viable is this?

Note : On the mainland.

It's very viable bro, but you need unique, artistic, contemporary & well thought design, I'm not architect though,
