Who can do something like this for me in Ado-Ekiti. And how much should I be budgeting?

sonnie10:
The questions I wanted to ask, is the borehole new? Like less than 6 months? Have they been actively using it?

Was installed February this year and has been in active use.

At least twice a day.

dannie007:
Can you send the design of the cabinets to enable me review the Quote if it's ok.

I'm into Cabinets as well

Person2person:
Do not use MDF for the cabinet carcass, rather use HDF for the carcass and mdf for the doors if you want to save cost.

If you can share the design and size of the kitchen, I can give you a guide.

Goodluck..

hamtabfawaz:
It's okay✓

Mind you, He quoted MDF board for you!!!
If funds is not an issue, go for HDF setup. the quotation would definitely increase, if you decide to go for HDF.

I don't recommend MDF board for Kitchen setup...

Godspeed on your Project.

Thanks guys for your reply. Here are pictures of the kitchen. Only the side with the window and sink will not have cabinets but all the other three sides will have full cabinet to the top. And then a small island too.

Honestly I will really have loved to do HDF too but I am hearing N33,000 in Abuja for HDF. Is it because of water damage you advice not to use MDF? Will it be really bad even with the mixture of the high gloss board that will be used. Also note that marble will be used on the top of the cabinets all round and the island too. This was not included in the quote. I am thinking the marble will provide some projection against water splashes. Let me know what you think.
Thanks again

My latest toy is a Bosch GWS 2000


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9wD2Pbug6w&ab_channel=APSFASTENERS

how much sir

michlins:
how much sir

The price on the Bosch professional Nigeria website was 43,700.00

The price in the open market was 45,500.00

I approached a Bosch dealer he told me 50,000.00.

I then told the Bosch dealer that I found the item for 45,000 in the open market (which is true by the way) and he told me to pay 44,500.00 for it.

So I got it for 44,500.00

Forgiven, and a positive course charted for 2023..

May God bless all our hustles.

Good morning Nairalanders,

I made a report about Adedward , an aluminium guy whom I contracted some jobs too since the 6th of August, 2022, based on reaching out to me for assistance and previous work relationship. I remembered quite a number of people on this forum were demanding for his identity and even sent reminders on the status of the job, following a grace period of 1 week after he had delayed for so long to see if he will keep to his promise of completing the job... I was however shocked only two people from the pool of Nairalanders calling for his identity commented on my report/post, quite funny though.. This report was made on this forum on 7th of November, 2022.

Today makes it exactly 127 days after I contracted this job to Adedward and 34 days after I reported him on this platform, with no significant progress made on the job till date.

I remembered him responding to my post, even though some of his allegations were false, I decided not to trade words with him, all I wanted is a completion of the jobs I gave to him in the shortest possible time. He reached out and promised to complete my work within a week of my post.

He came with his apprentice boy afterwards, while I was away in my station outside Lagos, to work on the window nets, he left the boy to do the job. I returned to meet the boy 5 days later, doing nothing after he was partly done with the frame nets which were poorly fixed and uncompleted. The boy was doing nothing, just sleeping and waking up, with my wife taking care of his feeding day and night. He was staying in my BQ. All the while, Adedward refused to show up. Three days after my arrival, I told the boy to leave and return to his boss, since he was literally not doing anything. It was then he told me his oga has instructed him to go get the net materials and that he will be coming with the remaining frames for the window nets. This didn't happen that day and I had to return to my station the next day.

I remembered discussing with him over the phone for the side elbow for the downspout part of the rain water collector, after he told me he was bringing in some boys to complete the rain collector. I even had to send him money for additional 14 Pcs, when he claimed it was not in original calculation, but to my greatest surprise he came around with just 4 Pcs. The boys came and could only do about 10% of the job, cos obviously the rain collector parts he had bought were not complete, as some important parts for joining the gutters were grossly insufficient, in fact the boys complained that the materials were not enough. It was then it dawned on me that he only bought some of the needed materials and dumped them onsite as a pretense that what was left is workmanship.

He, Adedward even came at some time to work on the Toilet doors and did a very bad job of fixing the aluminium doors for the bathrooms, after convincing me to remove 5 ready made doors already installed for the bathrooms, with the promise of giving me better durable aluminium toilet doors. With the exception of the door to the master bedroom which is not completed though, all other doors are with faults, in fact he told me two of the doors can never close except he breaks the already tiled walls for the frames, heaping blames on the tilers and bricklayers, for frames he erected by HIMSELF.

All these were happening, while I was away.. It was very obvious he was avoiding me.. So, last weekend when I was home, I requested to see him unfailingly and he came on Sunday, the 4th of November 2022. I showed him all around the house and expressed my dissatisfaction on the jobs he did for me and why he would leave his boy alone to do the job. Mosquitoes are coming into the house in droves from the side of the net frames, poor quality of window nets used and poor fixation too, the toilet doors are either not completely/badly fixed, the rain collectors is still less than 15% completion, and some joint areas are leaking etc... And of course, still owing me #80,000 refund from the money given to him for the cubicle.. He begged me to give him a week, but I gave him 3 days...

The following day, I didn't travel to my station as expected and waited to see if he will keep to his promise of coming to start the job as promised... Adedward didn't show up till I called him at night, it was then he told me he had a fall from the bike while on his way home and promised to do something about the work the following day...The following day, I called at night again, he said his back was paining him.. asked if he is on admission, he said No, but was taken to an hospital, he doesn't know the name of the hospital and that he did an X-RAY in a Lab , he also doesn't know the name either.. On Thursday, he sent a message that his boy will be coming with the guys to fix the water collector and that he will fix the bathroom doors by himself...

It's a week after his promises, and he has still not shown up..neither his boy nor the water collector guys..


I am sure there are people on this platform that are his friends or close associates, how would you feel if you contracted a job that shouldn't take more than 1 week and it is yet to be completed 127 days (4 months plus and counting) later... long after complete payment and still expecting a refund of #80,000 from the person you gave the job to..

I have exercised more than enough patience and gentleness, and will go through any legal means to retrieve my money from Adedward...

He can hide or run for as long as he wants.. but the law and the works of his hands will catch up with him!

I told him to his face that he, Adedward is not reliable, has no integrity and grossly unprofessional, and it remains so, until proven otherwise!

This is a painful read.

This is not how to behave to become a millionaire or billionaire.

Successbay, please contract other artisans to complete the work and then activate cost recovery mechanisms.

It is obvious, that he does not intend to execute the contract to the full.

Unless you don't want to enjoy the comfort of a well built house.

I have had my own fair share of disappointments with artisans and I am now resolved to have multiple options and to never wholely and solely rely on one person.

To illustrate, I left work to complete a project that I have been doing only on weekends due to lack of time.

I would call an artisan and agree that he would show up the next day, and the next day he fails to show up on the grounds that I should have called him again on the morning of the day he was supposed to show up. I said I wasn't aware that agreements have to be renewed on the morning of the day they were supposed to be enforced.

In another case, he said he did not have transportation and then I sent him transportation and he never showed up, I messaged him he did not respond. When the guy who introduced him reached out to him, he claimed he had no airtime to inform me and most importantly, that he went to another job site.

I know there are honest artisans, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

Now, I will not have time during the week anymore and all that I planned to achieve during my days away from the office did not happen due to the disappointment and the need to find alternatives to stand in at the last minute, meanwhile I had a deadline to finish all the work by this weekend

I deal on water damn protection..
I can help you solve all your residential water damge.

For Kitchen Cabinets HDF is Best!! Apart from direct contact with water, MDF is not advisable for Kitchen furnitures because moist environment affects its strength of the board and its losses Shape quick.

Thank you FEGEITOK for your sincere response and concern.

I had thought it through, that the best is to contract the job to other artisans. I asked him when he came around if the poor job he did, matches the standard of the house?? He even damaged some of my window edges in the course of fixing the frames..sad..

Sorry for your own share of experience, I know there are diligent and honest artisans, identifying them is the main issue. I wouldn't mind referrals.

Thank you sir.

Painful read
May we not fall into the hands of parasitic artisan/contractor.

Some of them do not care about the stress you used in gathering the money they're willing to squander.

In the end when the repercussions start rolling in, they end up sleeping in churches, mosques, psychiatric hospitals, and even shrines.

There's nothing a cheat can do to avoid punishment except restitution.

@Successbay

You can use @rockofagesaluminum for the windows and aluminum doors.

He handled/handling mine and no issues so far so good.

I have seen at least 3 - 4 complains on this Adedward guy on this thread now. Haba.
Thank God I didn't give him my job o, who knows, maybe I dodged a bullet. You have to do better o

You see how reputation is gradually fading and eroding.
What a sad experience.

Thank you for your comment chief.

Well, we had no issues providing meals for his boy @ any cost, it was done without grudges. After all, I sometimes provide meals for my artisans onsite. I must have included that part to illustrate the extent to which he was accommodated, so he can get the job done..

No ill feelings meant, whatsoever. Gracias.

Today makes it exactly 127 days after I contracted this job to Adedward and 34 days after I reported him on this platform, with no significant progress made on the job till date.

I remembered him responding to my post, even though some of his allegations were false, I decided not to trade words with him, all I wanted is a completion of the jobs I gave to him in the shortest possible time. He reached out and promised to complete my work within a week of my post.

He came with his apprentice boy afterwards, while I was away in my station outside Lagos, to work on the window nets, he left the boy to do the job. I returned to meet the boy 5 days later, doing nothing after he was partly done with the frame nets which were poorly fixed and uncompleted. The boy was doing nothing, just sleeping and waking up, with my wife taking care of his feeding day and night. He was staying in my BQ. All the while, Adedward refused to show up. Three days after my arrival, I told the boy to leave and return to his boss, since he was literally not doing anything. It was then he told me his oga has instructed him to go get the net materials and that he will be coming with the remaining frames for the window nets. This didn't happen that day and I had to return to my station the next day.

I remembered discussing with him over the phone for the side elbow for the downspout part of the rain water collector, after he told me he was bringing in some boys to complete the rain collector. I even had to send him money for additional 14 Pcs, when he claimed it was not in original calculation, but to my greatest surprise he came around with just 4 Pcs. The boys came and could only do about 10% of the job, cos obviously the rain collector parts he had bought were not complete, as some important parts for joining the gutters were grossly insufficient, in fact the boys complained that the materials were not enough. It was then it dawned on me that he only bought some of the needed materials and dumped them onsite as a pretense that what was left is workmanship.

He, Adedward even came at some time to work on the Toilet doors and did a very bad job of fixing the aluminium doors for the bathrooms, after convincing me to remove 5 ready made doors already installed for the bathrooms, with the promise of giving me better durable aluminium toilet doors. With the exception of the door to the master bedroom which is not completed though, all other doors are with faults, in fact he told me two of the doors can never close except he breaks the already tiled walls for the frames, heaping blames on the tilers and bricklayers, for frames he erected by HIMSELF.

All these were happening, while I was away.. It was very obvious he was avoiding me.. So, last weekend when I was home, I requested to see him unfailingly and he came on Sunday, the 4th of November 2022. I showed him all around the house and expressed my dissatisfaction on the jobs he did for me and why he would leave his boy alone to do the job. Mosquitoes are coming into the house in droves from the side of the net frames, poor quality of window nets used and poor fixation too, the toilet doors are either not completely/badly fixed, the rain collectors is still less than 15% completion, and some joint areas are leaking etc... And of course, still owing me #80,000 refund from the money given to him for the cubicle.. He begged me to give him a week, but I gave him 3 days...

The following day, I didn't travel to my station as expected and waited to see if he will keep to his promise of coming to start the job as promised... Adedward didn't show up till I called him at night, it was then he told me he had a fall from the bike while on his way home and promised to do something about the work the following day...The following day, I called at night again, he said his back was paining him.. asked if he is on admission, he said No, but was taken to an hospital, he doesn't know the name of the hospital and that he did an X-RAY in a Lab , he also doesn't know the name either.. On Thursday, he sent a message that his boy will be coming with the guys to fix the water collector and that he will fix the bathroom doors by himself...

It's a week after his promises, and he has still not shown up..neither his boy nor the water collector guys..


I am sure there are people on this platform that are his friends or close associates, how would you feel if you contracted a job that shouldn't take more than 1 week and it is yet to be completed 127 days (4 months plus and counting) later... long after complete payment and still expecting a refund of #80,000 from the person you gave the job to..

I have exercised more than enough patience and gentleness, and will go through any legal means to retrieve my money from Adedward...

He can hide or run for as long as he wants.. but the law and the works of his hands will catch up with him!

I told him to his face that he, Adedward is not reliable, has no integrity and grossly unprofessional, and it remains so, until proven otherwise!

Ask for a refund and get someone else to do the work, that's the best option now to me...

I pray we never ever meet artisans who are out to frustrate us.. Smh and to think that I considered getting windows from him before I thought of the distance.. It is well.

Adedward you need to either complete his work perfectly or please refund his money if you can't do it.

Noted sir,

Amen & Thank you.

Good morning Nairalanders,

I made a report about Adedward , an aluminium guy whom I contracted some jobs too since the 6th of August, 2022, based on reaching out to me for assistance and previous work relationship. I remembered quite a number of people on this forum were demanding for his identity and even sent reminders on the status of the job, following a grace period of 1 week after he had delayed for so long to see if he will keep to his promise of completing the job... I was however shocked only two people from the pool of Nairalanders calling for his identity commented on my report/post, quite funny though.. This report was made on this forum on 7th of November, 2022.

Today makes it exactly 127 days after I contracted this job to Adedward and 34 days after I reported him on this platform, with no significant progress made.

This is an unfortunate read. Unless I'm getting my lines crossed, I thought he posted sometime ago that he has restituted the situation?

Going forward, put measures in place to recover your money. At this point decommission him immediately. Chasing him to complete the job is just good money chasing after bad. He obviously doesn't have the capacity and capabilities to complete the job to the standard and quality you expect.

As you select a trade to complete the job, take this: Unless, the trade is a demonstrated builder, NEVER give multiple scopes of Job to a single tradesperson or artisan. For example, Adedward is a window guy. Period. Don't commission him to supply you sand for example.

A plumber is a plumber. Period. Come plumb the site and leave. Period.

A roofer is a roofer. Come keep the site dry and leave.

If you are not making use of a builder, then go the direct labour route. An aluminum trade has no business with your roof or knocking down walls for example. Give that scope of work directly to a specialist tradesperson. It is called core competence.

With this approach, you avoid the situation where just one trade is holding the whole project to ransom because so much scopes have been allocated to them and many of the scope they don't have core competence. They will obviously contract these out to third parties cheaply or pretend to use 'boy'. This is where the problems start.

All the best.
