Good evening all,
Please I would like to ask for your expert contributions on this issue. A neighbor decided to build 2 duplex that looks directly into my father’s compound and it’s just so so close. They practically look inside everyday and it’s so uncomfortable. Please do you have any suggestions as to what can be done to block their views? He was thinking of doing heavy metal poles and putting Gerard roof to cover like a billboard sort of but it’s too expensive. Thanks

Plant MASQUERADE TREES! Within 24 Months should have Grown to cover the View.

THUNDER ARRESTOR INSTALLATION.
Good day my people, an Electrician gave me the quotation below. Does one have to spend this amount to install a Thunder Arrestor?
THUNDER ARRESTOR

1. 1 No Thunder Arrestor 8,000 8,000
2. 1 No copper matt 7,000 8,000
3. 35 meter copper tape 3,200 112,000
4. 20 pcs of copper clip 300 6,000
5. 40 pcs of copper nails 200 8,000
6. 5 pcs of Earth rod 6ft 7,500 37,500
7. ½ bag of charcoal 2,500 2,500
8. 2 bags of salt 3,500 7,000
9. ½ coil of copper wire 12,500 12,500

Total cost of materials 200,500
Installation 75,000
Grand Total 275,500

Am not sure the electrician quoted for original copper tape. The price is more than that

Pool business is not for everyone and that's why you see lots of unused or abandoned pool in even lekki and some other high brow apartments/houses.
Choice of material n lots of other factors might blow the price up. If you want to go for a cheaper price/quote, please have it in writing koz pool maintenance ain't easy oh

Sir choice of material or not. Asking for upwards of 11 million naira is a no brainer. Ok to understand that the price was inflated I wanted to buy the materials myself and pay workers, and they supervise. Again someone is asking for 4 million to just supervise, is it government Olympic swimming pool??

Good day people! Please is it advisable to use 2 by 4 hardwood in place of 2 by 6 for kingposts and rafters? Can 2 by 4 also replace 3 by 4 for struts? And what about 2 by 2 for purlins instead of 2 by 3? Will the integrity of the roof be significantly weakened by doing this? Thanks in advance.

Addendum: Intended roof is pitched with 5m high kingposts and covered with stone coated sheets.
Hello building professionals, roofers and home owners in the house. Please can someone help me out here?

Good evening house, please I need suggestions and samples on internal doors.

We have offloaded tiles on site but timer insists door frames are installed before they commence work so he doesn’t have to do patches.

I will appreciate any suggestions, thank you

Absolutely not! Except that I am working with a time frame in mind and this seems to be stalling the job.

I believe the type of door will determine the type of frame otherwise I would have just had frames installed first so tiling commences then I ponder over what door will do the magic.

Normal procedure is that the door frames will have to be installed before the tiles, is better you hasten up your decision making on the door type. Wish you the best.

In the process of reducing costs,We should also remember the strength of a building should also be taken into consideration.I'd have say Yes if it's flat roofing systems,but a king post of 5m(16ft)!!! Covered With stone coated sheet Pls no try am,2by4 can never carry the weight on a long run. You've the money to purchase stone coated sheet as costly as it's,don't compromise on what'd carry the load(roofing sheets).#GoldenView

The mix formula that has been used by generations of builders to plaster our walls is the reason why nearly all Nigerian walls have water ingress.


If in doubt, take the time to read the expose by a structural engineer who conducted a forensic investigation into capillary action in concrete here https://www.nairaland.com/7351815/home-remodeling-diy-fight-against#117101774

One statement stands out: "The smaller the capillaries, the higher the water can go, defying gravity, or in proper physics terminology, out-muscling gravity."

Good day.

Sub-frame is done before tiling while installation of door with architrave and stoppers should be done after tiling.
