Hello Guys,

If you sell doors please provide your best prices for the 7ft x 4ft and 7ft x 3ft or any other sizes of this door.

To builders and clients… Please what is your experience using this door (or similar variant) for main entrance and kitchen exit on your property?

How durable are they?

I am looking to purchase a few over Isreali doors.

Thanks

No pictures to know the doors you have in mind?

I used locally fabricated metal/steel doors for entrances and I regret it cos I got pictures from the pop guys showing me the damage on the front door... It is basically breaking from the top, they said that it doesn't close well except they bang the doors.. Will have to change it to foreign door after I am done with other important stuff before screeding and painting starts.

Sorry about your experience.
Metal doors was never an option for me.

Was going to make wooden doors locally but don’t have that time anymore.

This Turkey door I’m considering has a wooden look and something that looks like a solid frame. I just hope it’s as sturdy as it looks.

Hello Chiefs, fencing is expensive so I settled on erecting sign boards instead.

Is this writeup okay? I need something Harsh since I might not be visiting some of these properties in years

By the time you hurt or kill the trespasser, his lawyer will tell you its a premeditated murder because you displayed you have the intend to hurt/shoot. Just build a fence because the money you'll spend to lawyer up will be enough to build you a fence.

Advantages of hollow blocks slab.

- Its more economical.
Hollow blocks is more cheaper to execute than normal RC slab. It saves more than 40% of total cost of both labour and materials to be used in construction.

for example. If you need 200pcs y12mm bars for decking in normal slab, you will need 120-150pcs of y12mm bars for hollow blocks slab. Same as cement and gravels.

- Low self-weight
Because of the hollow blocks been used, it reduces the quantity of concrete to be used which increases the dead load (self weight) of the building.

- More stable.
Hollow blocks slabs uses mostly beams which intersects with one another strategically, making it more stable.

Contact me for your building supervision or architectural drawings. My services are but not limited to;

- Decking contract (both carpentry and casting)
- Plaster labour contract
- Blockwork labour contract
- Tiling and interlocks. etc

contact me on 07069672461

There is an update on the above.

If you want to prevent off-gassing, you need to use low VOC wood glue when doing woodwork.

Here is an article from an architectural website that goes into detail about the problem.

It is important for service providers to also play the role of trusted advisors, when they do this, telling the client the pros and cons of certain buying decisions, a bond of trust is formed that allows the client to have no objection to paying more for the service provider and trusted advisor roles.

But the client doesn't get this from the service provider and has to do the kind of work that I have done to guarantee health and safety, such a service provider becomes disposable/dispensable.

I hope this helps someone else commissioning woodwork in the office or the home.

Thank God for Shoprite, I am now using a low VOC wood glue known as Alcolin wood glue. I am saying thank God because our wood markets don't source for this type of glue, and the next best option would have been to import it from Amazon which would take time.

Once again this illustrates how important proper ventilation is for the home and the office.

I can't fence it, chief. They're too much.

The cost of fencing 2 plots gave us around 1m but we have over 50hectares of lands.

Oga kola, I'll like to see more pictures and details before I can commend appropriately. Things like;
1. How many floors you are trying to build
2. Bearing capacity of the soil. Amongst other things.

Generally, this combination is good for soils with a tendency for serious differential settlement.

But note, this combination is strip, pad footings, and ground beams. But it looks solid sha Oga.
