Good day, all.
Maximum respect to the elder statesmen here. smiley

I have some pressing questions, please.

1. Are there any guidelines for hiring on this section? I'm about to contract someone and I'm trying to be very careful.

2. I'm looking for sample pictures of front and back doors. The ones I've been seeing are shiny/glistening. I don't really dig those.
The front door will be temporary, we intend to change it when the project is completed. But back door, permanent.

3. What makes a functional, beautiful , modern/contemporary kitchen? I've been asked what I want but can't really put my thoughts together. What are the basics, please? I would appreciate pictures too.

Thank you very much.


if your kitchen is big.. you might consider having a small island.. i love it in particular

just a suggestion: do a concrete casting(pillar) there, make sure they dig to the foot of the fence..note: problem might be from tree roots but a concrete casting(pillar) should solve that..that edge should have a concrete cast. Just my opinion sir

Very true. I've scoured the pages of Houzz and the likes. I just hope I get it right.
By the way , is it granite for the worktops or marble?

babeline:



For the kitchen, the colours you use, granite, type of wood and design matter.

Building is capital intensive and needs to be taken 1 at a time,so slow and steady wins the race
When you are ready just let me know .

It's the soil.
There is a popular known remedy: make a concrete pillar with rods in between both fences.

Its simple.
There is no concrete reinforced pillar there.
I have always advised clients to avoid the use of blocks as pillars on fence especially for 6 inches block. Concrete reinforced pillars still remain the best any day anytime. It creates a firm bond with strong force that can't allow such tear or shear damage at the joints...

Meanwhile, we Design, build and animate. Watch this video here too see.

Thank you so much, sir.

On that note, can anyone vouch ,checkmate or stand as surety for @Adedward , please?

@Dennis3D , he mentioned you in particular but I just want to put it out here.

Is @Adedward genuine? Thank you.




What does standing for SURETY mean to you?
What remedy do you get from the surety, if things dont work out?

- Refund of your Money?
- Report him to the Surety and maybe he will talk to him? What if he refuses?

I asked these questions so that you and the surety know exactly what you are both agreeing to.
I have seen situations where the surety said: Did l collect money from you, please stop disturbing me.
I dont like arguements.

Having said that, l have not heard any bad reviews about Adedward on this Thread.

A look at the compound level and the level (foundation) of the house itself are almost at par.
Very wrong.

How much in Nigeria of today will it cost to deck a three bedroom house given a floor space of 55 by 40 feet?

All the pros in the house, we still need your response to this.
