mavverick:So back to the trenches. I better look elsewhere for this vodka. |

brabus:The complaints, the reviews and the commendations make us do better. Trust me, I've learnt a lot more in 2015. That extract reminded me of AY comedy in concert, do you know how many times you have said that. Lets take out the 2015 and put previous years next to it. Your arrogance stinks like a bad fart, am sure you have been told this numerous times. |

PeoplesArmy:No, you don't have to do that. Mr Mavverick already agreed to amicable settlement if I can meet his terms of settlement. Which means vodka can still surface. If I may ask sir mavverick, what do I need to do to enter into the Kingdom of God? I mean cross into your 2015 Christmas Present List. I know you're not Jesus so I don't expect "Go and sin no more" for an answer. I'll appreciate it here and quickly work towards fixing them all and the ones outside my reach, I'll let you know. |

brabus:You already asked me about fixing things on site months ago, you already asked me about coming to do the fence that you were supposed to do and was fully paid for it, but didnt do. I SAID NO ! Did I ever ask you to come to my site to repair anything ? Absolutely not In fact the last I remember is that you came to my site to take your marine board (I still found around 2 or so that were 30% decayed/rotten when I inspected), that is all I have asked you to do. If you do not get it, let me state it clearly again. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DO ANY WORK ON MY SITE ANYMORE, NOT STEP FOOT ON IT. IF YOU WANT YOUR MARINE BOARD, I WILL ASK THEM TO PUT IT OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER FENCE AND YOU SHALL PICK IT UP THERE What I have asked you to do is RETURN THE PAYMENT FOR THE FAKE APPROVAL. Now with the approval, its not worth the paper its written on, I have to do an original one, and as you know I cannot take 5 copies of one stamped with a fake for them to now put original stamp on, if you do not know, I can get you the original payment remittance made for the approval back in May states the amount in full, and the fact that I made it very clear to you THAT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPROVAL NONSENSE AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR IT. YOU CONTINUED UNDER THIS CLEAR AND CONCISE WARNING. |

mavverick:For as long as we want to remain in business, there'll always be people to apologize to because we are first human. However, building as we have it is onerous task that requires thousands of decisions to be made. We are yet to develop that perfect system where everything will be hitch free. People can break down just as machines can develop fault. The good supplier can delay and all good plans fail as a result of too many dependencies. Even clients expectation can be cut short because are imperfect. The best thing we can do this season is to apologize for those mistakes and learn from them. |

Is that all? @Peoplesarmy, I told you vodka is sure. Oga mavverick, the boards are no longer needed. So that settles that part. As per the approval, can we meet on Tuesday morning? The approval office is just 800m walk from your house and 1.5km from NextHome H52. I want to go and fight dirty over the fake approval right before you. Lagos State Approval office is in for trouble next Tuesday. |

brabus:Whilst its not always a good thing to sometimes compare. But its worth you taking a step back and asking yourself, spyder, sege, Adventures DO THEY HAVE 2 HEADS, 4 EYES, 4 EARS, 4 FEET OR 3 BRAINS ? See, I am sure you have heard this Oruko rere san ju wura ati fadaka lo, meaning Good name is better than riches. When we first met, I knwo you were starting out then. it was a kind of test to see if we could work together, how times change. How many people did I link you with that gave you jobs ? |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 1:07pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
mavverick:Bros, my eyes is on the target. Tuesday, Lagos state approval office. I can still get vodka for the new year. Again, I'll love to take a recess. I don't want to occupy Hajji's joint. ![]() |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 1:07pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:That is not going to happen Bosun ! I am not going anywhere, do you want me to put the screenshot that I sent you when I gave you the approval money in full of my terms ? Give me some few minutes. My terms were very clear, you are responsible for the approval and anything that goes wrong is on you. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 1:10pm On Dec 26, 2015 |

EgunMogaji:Oh ok.well I should think that 3 coach should do the job And No it's a storey building. Regarding the flood what I learnt is if a new rd is built in front of your house the rd in Questione would be sand filled at least 2 feet.so if your house DPC is 2 ft above ground you are already under water if it rains.that's what I meant.I learnt this frm ground design on UK TV. Regards |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 1:30pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
erico2k2:Do you watch that program Bros, grand design ? Its a good place to draw inspiration, but most of the stuff they show I find cannot work in nija sha. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:32pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
erico2k2:I will do my best to ensure that the road in front is never put in but I make aft about 6 coaches higher than the existing road at my lowest point. I've now watched all the episodes and have now moved to Grand Design Australia and also Restoration Homes. I thought I saw staircase in your drawings? Your foundation seems like it's for a two story house. I mean ground floor plus one floor above. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 1:35pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:Well. Here is the situation of things, you complained to me that approval people were disturbing on site all the time etc. You gave me the impression that you were providing me with a genuine approval, and I made it clear that this was someone you would be responsible for. Now you are telling me to meet you at some bullshit office!!! Now people owed an amount like this in Nija, there are various ways to get the money or at least some of it, remember I know where you live. Now, what I am doing is trying the peaceful option first, nothing concern me with police, they have told me they would take 10% of the money etc. I have been told other options who would take around 10 - 20 % as well and i can be rest assured the result will be quicker, what I am doing now is keeping my cards close to my chest. https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval1.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval2.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval3.png |

mavverick:Ah I don't miss any episode.sometimes it's on while I'm on Nairaland that na the very program. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 1:37pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
mavverick:Interesting! I'll rather be careful in choice of my words. Just had to quote this! Back to recess mode. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by erico2k2(m): 1:46pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
EgunMogaji:Oh if that's what you meant by 2 storey then yes as shown in the pic below And as for ur DPC level to rd Your height is perfect no kind rd will flood your yard.in the UK we also have DIY S.O.S.

| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 2:08pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:Well knowing to be careful with your choice of words is a bit late now, what I need is a settlement as I already told you. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 2:18pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
mavverick:Settlement at Lagos State Approval office which is just a walking distance from your house or nothing else. Once it's confirmed fake, your fund will be instantly credited to your account. Then you can buy me the much needed vodka of peace. I'm available next week Tuesday (afternoon). You don't have to burn so much energy to do that. Been careful with choice of word is just a note of caution. We don't want to be answerable for things we knoweth nothing about. Trust me the system works here in Nigeria where there's fact! #askdasuki |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 2:33pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:It has already been confirmed as FAKE at Alausa, in fact no record of it and anyone who has been approval done within a week or so with no record or receipts, please let me know. How come there is no receipt of payment to Lagos state government. You still think one is a fool, I have dealt with Lagos state matters for a while and i know the drill, I have asked you for receipts for how many months now. Opeyemi the guy whom you gave me his details already know its fake and was trying to persuade me that he will do me a permit letter. All of which I do not need. So I dont know why you are coming here trying to pull a wool over my eyes, do you think you are talking to an illiterate ?? |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 2:53pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
mavverick:Now you see this is exactly what led us here in the first place. Your thought process is clouded with too much negatives. Why not look at it from this angle? I want us to both meet the guy (both of us knew him, even though I introduced him to you) to prove that the document is real or fake. If it is confirmed fake, I can ask him for a refund of money paid to him and ask him why he did that. We've never had the opportunity to speak with together. Not even on a conference call. But if we choose to take things physical, we will definitely know the truth. That helps me and it also helps you recover your money. Maybe I'm soft in my approach. But here I am, I am peace loving person who do not believe in violent approach to conflict resolution. 20 minutes meeting with Opeyemi will save us all this back and forth on Nairaland. I'm sorry if you think you're been ignored. I do not have much energy like yours o. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 3:01pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:Not going to happen, think about it I gave you the money and told you the conditions that you will be the one responsible. why should i get dragged into it ? Why can you not provide the official letter stating the charges ? was Opeyemi there when you received payment from me ? was it Opeyemi that i paid or you ? So why should i be meeting anyone to ascertain if its fake and all that after I alredy tiold you that its FAKE from Alausa and Opeyemi knows that also. I expect you to be the one meeting Opeyemi, I spoke to him for like a month or two and we were going around in circles. So maybe you can understand what i am saying. Why can you not just present the receipts or letters ? And for the avoidance of doubt, I do nto know Opeyemi. Whether he is black, white, blue, short, tall I do not know. All i said was that I wanted to speak to the so called person at the approval office and you gave me his number, he is telling me that he didnt get any payment and I do not have time for all that bull shit, so tell me whose mind is clouded with negative and fraudulent thoughts ?? So before you speak, maybe you should drink a bit of common sense, if they provide it in liquid form. |

^^^ Ok sir. It's deuce/stalemate again. Let's allow other thread users to do their thing before a ban is imposed on us for selfishness. Funny enough, the same Opeyemi delivered the drawings to your dad. I only got to receive the photocopies. We will definitely have a resolve. It's my problem and I assure you it will be resolved. ______ Oga mavverick, this kind discussion is not sweet without strong drink o. |
| Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick(m): 3:27pm On Dec 26, 2015 |
brabus:Here is what i am saying, the picture below is a recent correspondence from lagos state government, so you mean over 400k will change hands and no paperwork nothing and you expect me to be quiet and not take / about to take any action ? https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/consent.jpg So dont think that i am stupid or anything..... |

peaceland:There are different mixers applicable to different uses. 1. Basin mixer - usually used in the hand wash basin or laundry basin 2. Kitchen sink mixer - this comes sometimes with longer pipes 3. Bath tub mixer 4. Shower mixer The bath tub and shower mixers some times have 2 or more interchangeable water outlets. So you can use a hand shower or over head mixer or drain pipe to collect water in a bucket/tub. The other thing you were asking of that Hajji posted its picture but forgot its name is called SHATTAF valve. Lastly, i prefer the top flush than the side flush because the side flush is more fragile and more prone to damage. Also, the top flush would save more water because it has 2 buttons one is for complete flush and the other for partial flush that stops once it is released. One button is good for poo and the other good for pee saving some water that would have been wasted on little pee using complete flush. |

Hello house, Please i need your opinion about the exterior designs or sculpture work on the corners of buildings. I seem to regard them as trendy and with time they'll fade out and make your building look old. What do you think about them? See pictures below for better understanding.

EgunMogaji:From the very obvious high difference in slope within your lot looking at the pic you shared, you will never have to worry about any flood. That kind of area will hardly ever experience flood as long as proper drainage is provided. Even if you step down the low side of your foundation below ground level and even if the road is higher than your ground floor, it is still very easy to control runoff water with that kind of slope. I would not sweat. Just tie your columns with a beam before backfill and you are good to go. |

brabus:Oga Brabus.. I am not the kind who cannot forgive... The Holy Bible said "Unless you can forgive, you will never be forgiven" I am sorry, I don't hold any grudge... so take it that you are very clean with me. Just be at peace with your Clients. I hope the coming 2016 bring all of us here peace and plenty fund to do our property business. Hajji M. |
