for free? Am sure a fool here will do that.
For someone that claims to be an educated professional, sometimes I struggle to understand the way you think and the words that spill out from your brain.

You didn't really need to reply him, you know. If you aren't willing to offer any 'free' services on here, you're entirely within your rights, but the original purpose of this thread was to 'freely' discuss anything and everything related to construction, and not just to seek for paid jobs without making any useful contributions.

Honestly, if it were up to me, you'll hardly get any job from this forum.

Yes sir. The airline caused the confusion. They were dropped by the tarmac and they had to figure out which terminal to connect after being upgraded to wheelchair status.
There working contacts are for booking and they couldn't or willing refer to another channel that should be responsible. Even their staff in Toronto were just a bit better. They had to wait after 3 hours of arrival to see her.
All in all we thank God.
Thank God that she made it to her destination, safely.

Sir, what are the updated prices of your products? I may need some drums of matte in the next couple of weeks.

Yes sir.
Matte would give around 50 sqm for two coats for a drum.
Satin around 60 sqm for two coats for a drum
Silk around 70 to 80 sqm for two coats.

Good morning. Please I need assistance from the professionals. My Dad is a missionary and they are planning to build a rural church in a village somewhere so they are trying to calculate the number of blocks they will need. I told him I will ask here.
It's just a flat building measuring 7 x 14 meters. Let's say 3 coaches for foundation. By my rough Calc, height will be 3.6m. There will be just one small room at the very back of the building like a store. Please if anyone can use these little info to give me an estimate of how many blocks they will require, I'll appreciate.
Thanks

One of the people on here posted a calculator for this. I’ll see if I can find it.

But this is actually a good simple arithmetic work for you.

Don’t let any disgruntled person make you feel bad for asking a question. The OP setup this thread for discussions such as these and specifically asked for people not to post services and products. Of course most didn’t respect his wish. I was the 6th poster on this thread 8 years ago.

Good luck on your project,

Personally, I think the private lounge is a waste of space and completely unnecessary for a three bedroom house when you already have an ante room. The private lounge is even bigger than each one of the other two rooms.

If I were to modify the plan, I'd rather convert the private lounge to a room and remove the last room. You'll still have a small back verandah as in the plan and maybe a door leading to the verandah by that small window at the end there to reflect light into the passage and also some fresh air.

That aside, I don't really see a problem with the plan.

That private lounge is not unnecessary for some families. In the UK, we call it two receptions. While guests are about, the family/children can lounge in the second reception instead of taking to their bedrooms.

I will suggest the poster knocks down the wall between the kitchen and the private lounge to have a spacious nice kitchen diner. This is a very valuable space for family to socialise in private away from visiting guests. So adults can be cooking and still interact with the family/children instead of being locked in isolation in the kitchen as without a kitchen diner. One can be cooking and watch TV or play music or be teaching the kids at the same time.

I get you but, this is Nigeria and I believe there are certain building practices which differ in both countries.

If you look at the plan, you'll see he already has an ante room. That can be used to receive certain visitors as well. Mind you, visitors don't come everyday.

And, this is a THREE BEDROOM BUNGALOW not a six bedroom duplex or something very big.

If there are guests in the main living room, the kids can be in their room. That's why the living (bedroom) area is cordoned off sort of from the main living room.

According to the plan as it is now, he has two areas he can receive visitors and another area (private lounge) which will be empty for the most of the time so, it's a waste of scarce financial and material resources.

Making that a room so that the other room can also increase in size a little will be more beneficial to the household than having three lounges.

Hope you get my point?

Sliding and swing gates
Both are good n I can't say that one is better than the other.
The choice of gate used most times might be informed by the space available within your compound and ease to navigate well(drive in n out) as well as parking conveniently.
Also individual choices- what appeals to you differs to what appeals to me. While I might like to soak my garri in water and eat with beans, you might like to sprinkle your garri on the beans n eat as well.
