You can only use falcon for low load bearing works.

ATTENTION

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

(1) Do proper check on the artisan you want to engage here by asking questions about the person and using the 'Search Bar'. NOT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD.

(2) DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO MAKE PAYMENTS. Fraudsters will gladly collect your money and that's the end or 'fin' if you are French.

(3) PICTURES AND VIDEOS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING. Some people here are Computer science undergraduates or graphic designers that can make you see India as England.

(4) A desperate THIEF will do anything to steal from you. He will 'sugar-coat' his words and present them as solutions to your worst problems, then engage you with the best advice. DON'T FALL VICTIM.

Happy Weekend.

He can use it for blinding, slurry concrete to fill block hollow space, block setting, or foundation slab (German floor).

Not using pressure pump.... Used the pipe they call 9ja pipe and why I feel there's a leakage is because the boys in the site pumped water on Tuesday and they called today to say there's no water again. Total of 5000L finished within 3 days.

If all walls are dry, check the WC. The water stop mechanism might be faulty. So water does not stop flowing into the tank after flushing.

See ehhh, the thing is this life is very short. I know it. [/b]What most people will regret is not what they did, but mostly what they didn’t do. I have seen people come and go, and have seen what those they left behind did with the money they couldn’t spend[b].
You see this life, na better money I never see. But the small God has blessed me with, I not fit kill myself !

Hello everyone!
My roofer gave me a quotation of aluminum roof from the factory 0.55 as 4200 per meter two weeks ago but today he is it's now #5300 due to the increase in dollars. He is saying it might go down if the dollar drops. I want to seek your advice if I should go ahead with the project or I should wait.I am scared of it rising more.

At any stage you are on your building project, if you have the money, just get over it. Don’t wait. This is not to say you should not be mindful of pricing and price quotes

Bros grab it, if possible, negotiate the fence with him as well. Please pay attention to material he quoted for the job. Some of them may charge less for labor and hit you hard with materials.
Thank you for your response, I will be the one buying the materials like cement, sand, water etc...
With the response i am getting here i will ask them to start work.

By eye really. Slimmer profile blocks are better to behold somehow.

Or, just count the number of coaches on the fence. Typical 9 inch blocks would be 9 coaches, here we have 12.

I don’t get you right, let me explain how block sizes and shape measurements to you either your block is 2” 6” 3” 14” all of them have same height it’s only the width that are difference

More so 9” block is very easy to set, you see those smaller block size like 5” 6” 7” are very hard to get a well good straight work most especially when it’s more than 6-7 courses of blocks height

Block work is neat, but I'm still trying to get my head around the span of those lintels

Same with the lintels in the first pics here...is it ok to do lintels that way? I'm not even talking about "chaining" the lintel, but having the lintel sit on a mere 3 or so inches of block wall at either end? Maybe it's just my eyes that's deceiving me sha.

Just in case he’s unable to meet up, you can check out Stoneworks in Akure.

I use them about 10 years ago and till date they’re the best I’ve seen so far in quarry business. No cheating! No headache! No worries and they’re very professional.

https://www.nairaland.com/1338637/chateau-ile-oluji-construction-journal/2#16643921

I don’t have their contact information as they were introduced to me by a client here but you can ask around or use Google search to find out more about them.

Note: I don’t do supplies. I don’t even know where stoneworks is. The client buy directly from them and get them to supply whatever I need to my site.

Please do your due diligence.
