erico2k2:I told my plumber not to channel hot water to any of my hand wash basins. He was looking at me like I was from d moon. He said supposed it's cold and there's need to use hot water.. I asked him if he has ever used hot water to brush or wash hands in Abuja. He said no. I told him if he use my pipes to send hot water to the basins, I will remove the cost of the pipes and mixer taps from his workmanship money. He grudgingly did wht I wanted. We had similar arguments on chamberless waste piping. Now all his works are chamberless. Sometimes one has to insist on certain things. |

Good morning house, Please I need some advice about all these fence security systems. Should I go for barbed wires or an electric fence wire system? Please, how much does each cost per square meter or plot? Thanks |

henrymor:If it's for your residence, go for electric fence wire system. Price for a plot: barbed wire will cost you 160k or slightly more. Electric fence wires will cost you between 300k - 350k. It depends on your bargaining power. I'm not an expert. I just blv that the barb wires won't offer much deterrence and don't really look beautiful on the fence as the electric fence wires. I made a deposit for electric fence last week. To be fixed when the masons are done with the plastering of the fence later in the month. |

henrymor:Go for electric fence...barb wire rust within time.. I do 3500 per metre for electric fence. |

twinskenny:sir, if i'm not mistaken it means i Will spend over 1.5mill to cover a standard 100by50ft plot ba ![]() |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rany4all(m): 10:21am On Sep 15, 2022 |
Wande22:If the rate is #3500/m, then a 100ft x 50ft plot should cost you about 320k, not 1.5m Sir. |

We have never used the water-heater in my kitchen. Even the ones in the bathroom na once in a while. My friend tried to stop me from buying it then but I though he never wanted my house to be sophisticated like his own. Now I am realizing a lot of things. MrOkenwa: |

| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rany4all(m): 2:16pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
sethtsadopp:The designs are lovely Sir. I have a question though... In the kitchen picture you shared, what is the use of the PVC pipe sticking through the POP? I assume it's for the cooker hood, right? If yes, what size of pipe is it and will the pipe just open up into the roof void or channelled somewhere outside the roof? |

FEGEITOK:Today I bought an 18 guage brad nailer locally while also placing an order for the 23 gauge pin nailer from overseas. The sellers say these are low demand products in Nigerian so those who sell, don't stock it again or plan to restock if the current stock is exhausted. I know that there are people who have and use these equipment, but the average carpenter in Nigeria can't be bothered, and it shows in the finishing of their work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvO1d-6keYc&ab_channel=TheJigstar |

Rany4all:It's a 6inch Pipe and it goes to that window side and burst outside. So comes straight from outside through that window side and a bend is put at that point that made it face downwards. Yes it's for the kitchen extractor. It will eventually be hidden by the cabinet. That one that comes out will even be removed later, it's just there so the POP guys know where to leave the hole. See the pix before POP was done.

Good afternoon fam, Thanks for always helping out. I want to paint my house's exterior and fence but I am confused. The painter suggested satin for the exterior but emulsion for the fence. But my friend's wife who works in a paint company in Lagos suggested that I should use ultra-fine matte emulsion for both. Note: I screeded the exterior but didn't screed the fence. 1. Please, what's the difference between satin and ultrafine matte emulsion? 2. Which one do you think I should go for? 3. I want suggestions on how to achieve the best without spending much. Thank you. |

| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rany4all(m): 4:30pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
sethtsadopp:Ok, I get it now...the pipe runs under decking and not into the roof like I thought. But, just out of curiosity, if the building was a bungalow or the kitchen was on the top floor, would it be better to pass the pipe through the ceiling than through the block wall under the ceiling? |
