Yes ooooo
After spending tens of millions to correct the mess the so-called builder made. Anyway, to God be the Glory.
The picture below was just 3 days old.

Very good. We thank God, no demolition as some recommended. God will give you good health to live in it in peace. God bless you and the house.

Amen my brother. Everyone that came to the site that suggested to trick the builder into a bush and kill him are the same people that now call me "stubborn property owner ". With God, all is possible.

I almost go for the Spanish tiles though, however the high grade Chinese just looks too good to be ignored. The former is just a name brand, nothing further!

There are time for everything. We should all cut our coat according to our size. Spanish or no Spanish those look good enough. Those who will ask you if those are Spanish or Italian before they come into your house are enemy of progress and God will divert them elsewhere from your house... those people are called "Oku Aje".
You are building your house to live there, not to impress anyone.

People eh all most of them do is look for problems and things to mock one with instead of celebrating with you. The funny part is that these people don't even have a land nor to talk of a mud house

Nigerians are already tired of the epileptic power supply from NEVER EXPECT POWER ALWAYS and solar energy / windmill seems to be the way forward, but cost of installation and maintenance might be very huge sad

^^^

The hand rails was done by a friend. However I believe he charged about N750k for the handrails, 3 balconies and the void over area rails. If you look closely, you will notice that there are some gold plated bolts on the rails and there are also high end red coloured rubber like hand rest in the void over.

The higher qualities you want the more you pay.

For the handrails and that void balcony areas the 750k cost is not bad at all.

Could please explain the reason for doing this before tiling? Did you do it to prevent dampness?

It won't allow the underground water to penetrate to your floors. And yes, it prevents the water dampness.
