This is not supposed to be hard but unfortunately it is because not many people understand adhesive by their type and class. Everything is “gum”

I’m confident a C2 tile adhesive would work for a tile on tile wall application both indoor and indoor. I can’t say the same for C1 tile adhesive. I’ve used C1 adhesive (Supafix by Lafarge) for tile on tile floor job and it worked perfect.

Lafarge hasn’t released C2 (class) tile adhesive to the public. It’s currently being tested on selected projects across the country.

It is truly baffling.
This thread was full of his fraudulent activity from 2016-2017.
I was also a diaspora person remotely (and visiting) supervising a family project and trying to gain some insight for our project.
from Qc1 to maverick to babalose, 3strikes so many nairaland people especially diaspora that he defrauded.

HIS TRACK RECORD OF BAD AND FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY IS ALL OVER THIS THREAD

-Fake building approval
-Theft of material/fund
-Non completion of contracted work.
-Shoddy/defective work.
-No damp proof course(Building was leaking water from underneath floor)
-False structural work(cement bags in structural concrete)
-Insulting and calling clients names/broke

just to name a few.

He has never completed a job as contracted. I though we were successful in showing people his who he is, so they can be informed, unfortunately, another person is in a hole because of him. The first google search of his name is literally fraud.
has been arrested and docked for fraud.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/estate-agent-docked-alleged-n5m-fraud/.

People need to be cautious especially diaspora people.

Wow thanks so much for the effort taken. Really appreciated.

By the way, I told them to make arrangement for a near future plan for solar system. I plan to go offgrid later this year or early next year with a planned total bank storage of 55 - 60 Kwh and 12kwp PANELS. Also some automation and CCTV.

Do you think this has been adequately captured in what was prepared and quoted?

Ps: no ante room by the way.

Aside from location, amenities, security, parking space and capacity, what are the downsides to owning and operating a profitable event centre business in the South West states?

Why would you chose an event centre business over a rental home?

How do both compare in terms of cost-to-deliver, time-to-deliver, operating cost and return on investment?

https://www.nairaland.com/7083590/event-centre-vs-block-flats


I decide to weigh the options between building another rental home or building an event hall after reading this comment (attached below) by Winters23 last week while having an intellectual exchange on the amount one would require to start a building project.

Aventures:
Sir structural failure is very deep topic but let me.kemtion few here sir.
The major pointer to structural failure is CRACKS , but note not all cracks are due to failure (some may be due to poor masonry materials, heavy vibration during construction close to you, thermal expansion and contraction, plaster crack etc, all these no cause for alarm). But when a wall crack on both side and it is wide at the top and tiny below it indicates structural failure of the.member the wall is sitting on. When the plaster on your columns or beams is cracking often then the beam is failing deflection or the column is buckling.
When a house is loosing it's balance and is becoming very conspicuous it is foundation failure as well

This is scary...

I noticed some cracks on my build on some walls, we still in construction though. Does it mean there is a failure.

What class of adhesive is Novo Adhesive? Can it be used for tilling job on skyscrapers?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aventures(m): 8:44am On Apr 18, 2022
This seems like there's no proper bonding between the adjoining blocks. And moreso if the filling is not properly compacted and there's small settlement of the German floor can also cause this kind of crack. I don't think this is scary. Your builder should just check and put things in order.

For the home automation, It means the whole house to be automated. There is a special distribution board for the home automation so the electrician have to separate his own from automation .. their own cable is cat 6 cable and not the regular copper cable used in house wiring. You need to involve the home automation contractors from the inception of the electrical installation.

You can go off grid whenever you are ready

I know it’s huge investment. I won’t risk making such investment locally anymore. Tbh, I’m tired hearing “this is the best”

I’d rather buy from a company that can slam $43bn on me for making noise about their product. One should aim at becoming Elon Musk’s friend grin

13KwH Tesla Powerwall+ is currently sold $11,000. Having 2 of this (1 in the living area and 1 in the guest zone) should serve the energy need of a standard 5 bed duplex.

I have a feeling that it has a huge capital outlay to start but given the proposed full privatization of power, in the long run it maybe cheaper.

Plus given the failures of the national grid, it makes sense in terms of business continuity and disaster recovery purposes to have alternative power arrangements.

So even if it is not cheaper, if you can afford it, why sacrifice the comfort?

BIODIGESTER BIODIGESTER

I would like to explain what a Biodigester is by comparing with the human digestive system.

A biodigester is like a stomach. It is fed with organic material, which is broken down (decomposed) by micro-organisms (bacteria) in an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment to produce a renewable energy called biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) and other material that is mainly used as a fertilizer.

On daily bases we work earnestly to meet standard and advancement in technology

Wireless is fine.

The difference between wireless and wired is that with wireless anyone monitoring the airwaves can find out a lot about your infrastructure, but with wired, one would have to physically connect to your network to do so.

Investment in security depends on who is being protected and what is being protected.

Given some of the information you have dropped, you are a high value target so I would advice you incorporate wireless network monitoring if you decide to go wireless.
