OK Sir, Thank you. Like the type you can switch on and off by clapping your hands?.
To me that is the same as using your phone to on and off lights.

It really should be automated. Things should use be occurring on its own. Of course after programming.

Happy Father’s Day to all the gentlemen.
May God bless you and your seed and may your offspring go farther than you.
May their tracks be seen in places you never wandered.
May you be able to look at your kids with a smile and tell yourself “I did well.”

EgunMogaji2:
The dynamics of the current Nigerian financial situation has me scratching my head. I can weather it out but I feel for the average Nigerian citizen on a fixed income.

I used to hear the noise of all kinds of generators in my neighbourhood but I think only me and one other neighbor runs generator anymore.

But I will give it to Nigerians for uikding tenacity. People are still building.
Naija’s problem has never been money, just greed and an inequality that’s unconscionable. A few have everything the masses don’t and more but they have weaponized poverty against the majority.

True talk ooo, when people complain in Naija about their leaders I laugh. Many forget power to change is with them, but never participate in the process. For those social media voters here is another opportunity to make change If you believe your vote doesn't count. Please do yourself a fervor this time and vote. If you don't, politicians love people like you. That is what they want. In situation like that, you have no voice in what the do, is as simple as that.
In summary, if you don’t bother to vote, don’t complain. . .chikena!
If enough is enough, this is the time for everyone to do their part

QSFemi:
40ft (12metres) x 50ft (15metres) is equivalent to an area of 180 square metres.

The quantity of material and cost of labour will depend on the thickness of the oversite concrete (ground floor slab).
Thanks smiley I have corrected it on the new post but didn't modify this previous one..

I have already done the roofing, fixed the back and front doors, aluminium guy is still working on the casement windows.. The next is German floor and he is suggesting 4"thickness, that it's the best...only issue we had was his quotes on materials...

somehow:
My younger brother's media production studio was broken into a short while ago even though he installed CCTVs in specific areas, they wore face caps and sprayed the cameras.

They broke the fiber or is it copper door leading to his office which served as their entrance to the rest of the offices.

Came through the fence shared with a school, stole alot of stuffs (TVs, CPUs, Lens, Camera etc but left some in the next building (Too much to carry without being detected.)

They even stole flower vases grin

Why the long epistle?

Saw the copper door and got questions all over.

The door is said to be a security door but they broke and gained entrance through the locks.. How come?

I gave him some advices going forward but what extra security action should he take internally?

(He has entered agreement with some OPC guys in the area but I told him he needs to watch the watchers too).

How best can he secure his business?
Threats come from adversaries so you must account for intent, capability, and opportunity. The greater the combined intent and capability of an adversary, the greater the threat.

Security is layered. He got CCTV, was the CCTV monitored? If it was not monitored, does it have AI capabilities that can send alerts (emails, SMS and notifications to your mobile device) the moment it picks up a person or vehicle within certain strange times and automatically turn on the building wide alarm system?? Did he have an arrangement for law enforcement to storm the place in the event of an intrusion in an unholy hour? Did he have onsite physical security

Just thinking aloud.

Sorry for his loss.

Think like a thief to catch a thief.

Good day house, please how much is a reasonable price to pay builder to help with the setting out of a twin 3 bedroom bungalow in ibadan.

Thanks sirs/ma

@EgunMogaji2
@kolashangone

Also if you are a builder in ibadan or can recommend someone to do the job.
Assuming House owner buys all the materials needed.
Depending on the complexity of the house design,

An Engineer using his own dumpy level might charge you up to 50,000.

A bricklayer should charge between 20,000 - 30,000.

Ohhh I understand now.

What you're doing is flooring..

Not "German floor".

German floor as we call it, is done at foundation level.

For this one, you only need max 20 tonnes of granite, 20t of sand and 40 - 50 bags of cement..

Fellow minimalists.. This is a direct attack grin
A busy environment and design can affect negatively some people's mental health. This is the premise for minimalism. While there is an ample space for the traditional old time religion, sometimes for the sake of one's mental health, less is more.

A cluttered environment is injurious to physical and mental health. Minimalism euphemism for the song:

"I can see clearly now that the rain (clutter) is gone"

Do you mind showing us a snapshot? If you are not comfortable showing a photo that's fine but I think a picture "one kind, one kind" will help with the confusion of German floor and you will get the right appraisal and cost of the current situation.

The picture of the "German floor" or the scope of work. For you to get the right advice, the scope and type of work should not be confused. Are you now doing flooring or German floor? The two are radically different.

From what she explained earlier, the house is already roofed, so it should be flooring she intends to do now and not German floor. The confusion is coming from her "engineer" who calls it "German floor", and to be honest, I also thought they were the same thing until just now... grin
