Good afternoon House, I had a terrible experience with my tiler. Contracted him to clean the floor tiles as he says there’s a chemical they use that will give a fine finish.

After job done I noticed the railings were affected and looks rusted due to the effect if the chemical. cry

Please how can I correct this to the bearest minimum ?

I wish I just went with soap and water cry
It looks like those railings are galvanized steel. That means the coating is gone.
You might want to try can spray paint of matching color. But the surface must be very smooth first. They have varieties like chrome, nickel, brush nickel and brass colors.
Try one railing at first and see the result.

Sir this railing has different grades. The one you bought may not be stainless. Please Sir confirm by placing a 'magnet' on it, if it attracts then it is ordinary steel that was coated with silver spray paint. Stainless does not magnet and will not rust or wash off even in salty water or chemical environment.

You can smoothing the areas of your railing and respray with silver paint.

The real stainless railings have a natural shiny appearance without any coating and they won't react this way.
Sorry Sir.

Good day brethren.

Thanks to Diordaves, Topsy23, and Twinskenny for your advice when I complained about lightbulbs which didn't go off.

We got an electrician to review the earthing and it was found to be a very poor job.

The rod was beginning to rust! Weren't the rods meant to be made of copper?

He added another rod, charcoal and cowdung and closed things up.

Then we turned the lights on and off. The two bulbs stayed on. By stopping them with other bulbs, he was able to show us that the two bulbs were to blame.

It was a relief.

Good to know you had it solved. Apparently not pure copper.

Nice write up Sir but I don't think 45k to 50k can do a well reinforced (with 16mm rod) 1200*1200 window with a strong material and 5mm glazing. Kindly adjust your price range so your readers can be well informed. A potential client once sent me windows pictures with aliminium burglary without rods inside. That's tantamount to sleeping outside IMO. Regards.

You are right, that was an old prices, that was not modified,

I have modify it now, thank you so much.

It was one of my old thread, I just repost it, so those that didnt see it when I first post it can still have the opportunity to see it and read.

If a client request for casement windows with burglary, the fabricator must make sure that there is iron rod inside the pipes.

Burglary is very important, without burglary their is no security for lifes and properties in the house.

Good evening everyone
There’s an issue at hand that I need different you peoples opinion/advice on.
I had an issue with my landlord so I’m to vacate my current apartment before Jan ending.
I’ve started searching for apartments but the rent/price is too much sad 750k for a 3 bedroom apartment per year. I just can’t imagine giving that amount of money to any landlord per year.
So here’s what I need you guys advice on, is it possible to me to buy just a unit of 3 bedroom apartment here in Lagos ? Somewhere on the mainland that I can easily access ikeja like Iyana Ipaja, Egbeda and under 8m ?
I need everyone’s advice on this thanks.

I doubt if you can get a 3bedroom for 8m in that location .. the last somebody bought a plot of land in that area was a 18m by now should be more than that.

Hello Sir.
You could get a 3bed /2bed apartment in Gowon Estate Egbeda for that price or slightly higher. Did interior transformation for a client who bought a 2bed apartment for ₦6M in 2020.
Just depends on availability. (Finding a seller)
