There you have it. I have a friend who did his complete decking overnight because of Omonile people, he was upset with me when I told him I paid OmoOnile N200k for my decking. Naija for you o.

Baba, I think you’re underestimating the sound and power of an Indian drilling rig at full throttle inside hard rock at midnight.

I still maintain that it’s inconsiderate of him as someone that lives in the USA and should no better and to set a civil example.

It’s Moganna inside Elebu, at most he’ll pay N10K.

But Nigeria is happening to us all because we should have clean pipe borne water supplied by the government.

They’re still at it. So I think it’s a hotel for me tonight.

Only if you buy correct surge arrestor or suppressor and also have good lightening arrestor

True talk, lots of Chinese fakes especially of the APC brand.

I even had a bad experience with an Ellington bought from their own outlet.

While we are on the topic, the other day the cable that feeds electricity to my house from my generator started heating up and melting all because I powered on the AC, so it is important to use the proper gauge of wire even between the generator and the house to avoid stories that touch.

For a while, I have been reading comments from the abroadians and the kind of expectations they have from the Nigerian construction industry.


Having spent most of my life in Nigeria and with good knowledge of the Nigerian construction industry, So I made two trips in the past two days to a home depot store to see for myself all these things they have been writing and talking about.

To be honest and fair to them, all their expectations are valid. The level of quality, sanity, ease and value for money that you get over there is second to none..

I intend visiting Lowe's tomorrow since it's a public holiday.

Please to the abroadians, which other stores can a first time home owner visit for basic renovations (paintings, lightings etc) cc Egunmogaji2, Hajj Mufutua and the others

I just searched for that name here; like one poster said, NL is not good for business reputation.

I'm the one that said it. Nairalanders are broke ppl don't be swayed by those big talks you read. They claim to have been to USA and UK, they know how to download pictures from Pinterest but to pay a professional fee is what they can never afford. Better Keep your business away from nairaland, or rather run a paid ad on another platform. Alot of them have learnt the hard way. there's not a single professional here without a scandal just google them, some even disabled their profiles and as sad as it seems the clients still think they are right till now.

Their concerns are very valid. Our workmen would be better served listening and adapting.

These guys have more disposable income that your normal clientele, who would they rather work for?

I would rather do business with 1 client that can give me 5 million than 100 clients that will give me 50,000 each.

My father taught me to always benchmark, not against my fellow countrymen but against the world.

How is it done over there? Can you copy it? Can you adapt it?

He had this book in the house - The American Handyman and I read it several times.

That is why I can do almost anything in the house, and I can supervise the workmen that I invite.

Now most workmen don't do the work because they love to do it, they do it to survive.

I will illustrate, I invited someone to help me paint some wood. I asked him do I need to prepare the wood? He said no.

He was wrong, I need to sandpaper the wood, I need to use methylated spirit to clean up the wood after sanding, and I need to use a brush to clean off the dust.

How come a painter does not know all of these? Is he doing this because he loves his craft or wants to eke out a living?

These guys don't benchmark, so they keep doing the same thing over and over and over and that is why foreigners that can do quality will come in and take over as has already been established on this thread.

When you work with some artisans, you cannot help but notice the gaping lack of exposure, like they say they are nothing but local champions, that cannot compete with their counterparts elsewhere.

Nice one.

Home Depot
Lowes
Orchards
Walmart

Good luck.

PS: Some read mine as constructive criticism but some disgruntled elements sees otherwise. I graduated my tiler to the picture attached. Before it’ll have been that Nigerian mess of a thing.

Oga mi, that’s why I took my lumps jejely and only came to vent to my online friends.

Midnight or afternoon I know he’ll rather not spend money doing borehole if the system works.

Please, ogas in the house, I'm in desperate need of your help.
Do give me a chance to work at your sites as labour. I can do the mixture or any other job very well, please.
My family is suffering. Oga Spyder880, rotecch77, and other ogas, please help.
It's better to take care of my family with the labour of my hands than do it by stealing.
I stay in Lagos, I'm ready to work in any state.

The water supply pipe outlet from the soil pipe outlet is a bit far. Are you using wall hung type or close couple ? There are some close couple that you won't see the flexible connector shown at all.

You can get almost everything you want these days online. But some prefer to physically see what they want.
EZ flooring for tiles, stone and hardwood
Willams Sherman for paints
Home Goods for little household stuffs
There are little repair items you won’t find in big stores.

Personally I prefer braided steel lines for this thing.

You are probably right that I was underestimating the sound of the drilling machine. I am surprised they are actually using two days to do the drilling.
Not all of us have moral to be considerate of others as long as they are not breaking any law.
But I do understand your concern especially because you are affected.

My street in on a Martian rock formation it seems like. No one has had any easy drillings here.

A Londoner two plots above me did 220 meters. Took them about three days. Equipment kept breaking.

This is a beautiful bed. However, it lacks the mastery of craftsmanship. There are no woods joinery which is signature of higher quality woodwork.

This is a beautiful bed. However, it lacks the mastery of craftsmanship. There are no woods joinery which is signature of higher quality woodwork.
Look at this piece in my guest room. Notice how individual 2 inches woods are joined to create a pattern that formed the headboard and foot of bed. Also notice the natural grains of the wood.
Those are the type of details I which to start seeing by artisans.
Anyway, how many would pay $8k to make a bet set.

The higher the quality, the higher the price agreed.

Same way Bosch kitchen equipment costs way more than the usual Nigerian brands.

That pattern can only be achieved by an expert craftsman agreed. The same pattern on the headboard is duplicated at the footboard.

It might also be a function of cost; the client might want something beautiful but that will not break the bank.

Will pass on your message, I doubt he plays in the $8k league, I think though that compared to most of the roadside shops, his looks better.
