Not on Nairaland. Just saying in general terms.

Especially those that post on facebook or tictok status. 

Saw what they did for a friend I visited his site.

It's good sometimes clients learn this way otherwise everything will become cheap. Before you come hear, you want to reap them of their hard earned currency.

Good day house how much does a biodigester set up cost these days. A 4by2 and a 2by2

cash1115:
you are right, they are many out there, many clients fall in there hands when looking for cheap jobs, I gave a client a quote 2 month ago, and he said my price is much, so I called him later he said someone else has started it, I said no problem, I was surprised when he called me to come to the site, the pop that is not up to 2month fell off, when I checked the quality of the job, he used low materials and also managed materials, the guy ran away, the man has to pay more than the amount I charged him, clients should know good job requirements money and they should try and make proper research on the person he want to give the job to.

FemiHKE:
Some people charge cheap here too and some of the clients still come back to complain.

Hello @everyone. Please I’m trying to find a topic of this house. The man who built it was sharing us the progress of how he built it. Can anyone spotlight me on the post.

Thank you very much as you do

Excuse my ignorance but it is ok to use one color say red or black to wire an entire house?

GloriousGbola:
CAPITAL NO

single phase
red is live
black is neutral
green is earth

for three phase
l1 red
l2 yellow
l3 blue
neutral black
earth green

it is corner cutting or olodo contractors who keep trying to use only one colour

yes it will work, but it will make future troubleshooting or upgrade a nuisance

if you connect live and neutral wire together that is a short circuit straight

unfortunately there is a serious gap in nigerian electricians competence and knowledge transfer. most of them hire small boys who know nothing to wire houses. last week we got a call from a site and that is exactly what happened. one jjc had wired live to neutral - soo circuit kept tripping off

they dont know any standards- as long as the light comes on 'it is working'

FEGEITOK:
I moved to a new house and all the wires from the pole to the house are black.

All the wires from the meter into the house are black.

All the wires to and from the phases are black.

The wires into the ELCB is black, live and neutral out of the ELCB into the DB are red.

I went to market yesterday to buy 6mm wire and they say they have only red, I said I want black and white, they said use tape to make the red black that they have only red.

I think that for my sanity I will keep looking for the wires of the proper colors and rewire the wiring.

I literally had to go to youtube before I could connect my inverter to the house because of this nonsense

I will also replace the ELCB with my own RCCB.

I have seen it trip off in response to an overload that caused a fire and also trip off when water got into one of the circuits of the freezer wires, so I am a convert through and through.

The house even has an earth fault and I wonder how easy it is going to be to troubleshoot
