Does lemon grass really wade of snakes?

It doesn't sir. Even the tobacco leave we heard of when we were kids does not repel snakes. There is a liquid chemical that repel snakes. Just spray it around your compound, and no snake will stay around again..

2500/sqm is not bad. It’s cheaper when they do it for you.

I did about same amount last December in Ogun state.

You're right Sir. That #2500 price is still okay

My flower man come in quarterly to do maintenance (at N15k pere) but I canceled the arrangement when I found out that he was selling the grass he pack from my compound.

I was actually paying him to cut, pack and sell my grass. undecided


Lol bros...hahahahah...he might not get sales for the grass all the time because the grass won't survive more than 3 to 4 days before they die too. They are waste also if he doesn't get someone that needs it urgently.

That is exactly what I wanted as in your pic posted above. Since a friend in Ondo State did the same for about 200k about two years ago and the grass look very nice, but everything always get K-leg in Lagos/Ogun. Instead of paying N1.5m for grass, I will rather put a concrete foundation there awaiting to be built in some years to come. I want green but not that bad. Thank you.

You may be right, the t depends on individual taste, choices, and needs.

Nice one. Will do business with you soon.

this is why I usually tell people to use iron doors but they will tell you it's not good for internal doors. Eight years down the line, the only thing you will do on iron doors is to repaint it and you have yourself a brand new door.

Buildings are meant to last and not act as liability. Here's a sample of door that I delivered to oga Spyder yesterday. It was paid for by another Nairalander

This plan is looking clumsy
That open space has a roof i presume?
Air circulation may not be enough to control the smell coming out of d WC. The area marked in red line.

good point on the ventilation aspect, could this be resolved by having bigger toilet windows?
but water system toilet systems dont smell wink

The open space where the 4 rooms and toilet windows are facing, how do you intend to ventilate this spaces? The rooms using that toilets will be smelly...
Moreover, this plan is not properly dimension, proper design will change everything.

what do u mean by dimension? lay out or sized?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Abolarin91(m): 1:05pm On Sep 19, 2020
All spaces should be well dimension to scale, all these spaces you sketch out(and over all shape)will change when drafted with cad/put to scale.
My point is; allow your architect to draft it out and post it here for correction, just plan alone ma.

If you can eliminate the noise that will be a big plus to this grade of door , actually I know of high quality door of Nigeria Made used by some big banks in Nigeria without noise and well sealed against water penetration (see attached pic) but it’s pricey.

Also you can fine-tone the finishings to look more elegant( demands/ cost will determines this) but never the less it will add more value to your product.
mehn I respect whoever that did that door. Him na baba


I will love to spend about two weeks with him sha

Believe me you can do it my brother, I do see the door before honestly I don’t know it’s made in Nigeria here until I meet the guy, there is Turkish version of it too.

Don’t be too overwhelmed about the pics I posted there, that is prototype, as I promised I will post the real pics here once I visited the place again this coming week.
But the door is good .
Let me shed more light to the door
Try visit any GEE TEE BEE Bankie branch you will find it there (mainly in Lagos and others south west state) I don’t know much about there branch in eastern and northern part

Hajji M try your ebay and Amazon. You have different types from spray, chemical to solar sonic repellants. Due to animal cruelty laws, they don't KILL snakes but repel.

You can buy and ship or travel with it as hand luggage. I normally hand luggage such portable items.

if I'm the occupant of these rooms, I'd feel uncomfortable knowing that my neighbor can peep and listen to everything I do. imagine having a randy neighbor that brings home screamers. it's now a battle between cross ventilation and privacy, I'd choose privacy cos I can install AC. close up those windows.

The sonic ones are highly effective. The estate maintenance guys use same in my work place for pest control. I use the sonic ones in Nigeria mostly as mosquitoes repellent. They work like magic. The solar sonic will be very ideal for Nigeria but I've not used this before but I know solar garden lights can last more than 5 years without maintenance. So I trust the solar sonic system will last just as much.

Nigeria snakes no go stubborn pass rattlesnake for USA na when it comes to sonic sound. Here we use sonic sound to keep troublesome youths away from town center, shopping centers and bus/train stations.

0.55 is expensive truely, but you still need to compare and be assure the gauge is 0.55. I think Brabus or someone in few pages talk about that gauge.
