Good day House.

I need someone in Lagos who does this kind of roofing (picture attached), referral will be highly appreciated.

Talk to any Fulani man you see around. If he can’t do it, he would link you up. Their own is usually cheaper than those done by our city boys.

Good evening house,

Please what is the best material to be used for a kitchen table top? HDF wood or Marble? Is there a cheaper alternative that water resistant and will last longer?
If you know a good joinery person, you can use gedu. It lasts longer.

Mable stones can break quickly. Even though paper is from wood, HDF is compressed (recycled) paper, it is not water-resistant, except if you quote it with resin/epoxy.

All the major chemicals just increased this morning but I couldn't tell clients that already made payment yesterday and day before.
I'm the one in need of promo now sir.

The premium emulsion or matte if slight sheen is desired.
Premium emulsion: N20000
Matte: N33000
Satin: N40000
Silk:N49000
This is noted. Still fair to be honest.
We still have few things to do before we get to painting.
I’ll be going for matte. The building we painted last year hasn’t fade. The painting is still intact.

Use primer before painting with satin.

What is the solution in that regard sir, as paint scientist
After sand paper work, the wall would have powder residue on the surface.
Using primer would bind all the rubbing powder together on the surface so that the satin is applied on a more stable surface.
This would minimize peeling.

You are highly appreciated sir.

Size of room determine the number of cement, all rooms are not same size

I do use ratio 1:4
so the ratio 1:4 is one bag of cement to 4 head pan of sand or wheelbarrow, which is the right mix.

Thank you

1 spoon of cement to 4 spoons of sand

LASBCA men were actually around during the groundworks in April and they told me our cantilevered beams are impossible 😂😂 but I’ve done 3 and I’m currently on the 4th one.

I took them inside our main building to see a 20 year old 16.1m beam carrying 4 floors.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 9:07pm On Nov 02, 2023
The essence of my NDT is because I’m adding a floor and I also have 2 new floors to add in the extension of the building for ancillary services.
