To the gurus in the house... I have a few questions.

1. What's your take on concrete countertops as opposed to HDF, MDF, or marble.

2. Is concrete flooring/polishing a cheaper alternative to tiling?

For some context, once I am through with plastering, I am seriously considering a lot of DIY for the remaining part of the house, particularly cabinets, wardrobes, chairs, and flooring.

Do you live in Nigeria? I ask this because for some reason the average Nigerian that you’ll deal with will continuously persuade you to just do as they do here and it becomes tiring.

1) In my opinion concrete countertop offers a very unique alternative that is still intriguing to me. The issue is the product support. Thankfully more folks like Brabus are using marine wood because you will need that to come up with crisp quality. I intend to just use plywood. All the materials you’ll need are readily available.

2) If left to me I would love to have polished concrete floor. I’m yet to find any outfit that’ll do inside work though. For some reason they just like outside flooring which some of them do fantastically.

I’ll add a video from someone in Ghana that moved from the UK. He did a concrete counter top. I’ll add a link.

My people Nigeria is hell oh
God need to come personally visit Nigeria

AngelicBeing:
Hahaha, Nigeria needs special Angel's from paradise to come with heavenly koboko to flog shege comot from those who have rendered the country a cesspit of poverty, corruption and darkness, Nigeria needs 37 Angel's, one Angel per state and one Special Angel to flog presidency officials, governors and MPs

GoodFaith:


All Nigerians including me not just the leaders
We the 'people " are the problem not just leadership
We are selfish and very greedy-- it is all about me, me , kids and family

In-between, what's the mix ratio? Can our regular sand and cement mixture achieve this?

n3xt:


You need a low water to cement ratio when working on projects like this to achieve maximum strength.

If too much water is used, it will evaporate leaving air pockets which makes the slab weak.

Do 0.42pt water, 1pt cement, 2pt sand and 3pt granite. It’s important you use concrete mixer for a project like this.

AngelicBeing:
Well, if you are not involved in the wickedness going on across the country, you are exempted, but if you are involved, then get ready for koboko laden with Angelic pepper

Thanks sir. I think, this client might have contacted me but may not be okay with my suggestions and wanted to get more expert opinion from experts here.

gbadexy:

I gave a rough estimate of the worst case scenario seeing as there was no measurement given and gave allowance for the usage of budget grade grade emulsion.
A fresh wall would require more paint than a painted or primed wall.
There are lots of variables. I included for the ceiling, external with possibly parapet, windowhood and pillars with the fence on a full plot.
Only a site inspection or accurate measurement could give you an accurate quantity required but even with all those variables considered, it's still around 22 drums for the whole internal and external painting.

EgunMogaji2:


On behalf of fellow skinflints, I thank you and all the other esteem builders that has graciously and selflessly shown us the way. We may not add to your coffers directly but I never fail to recommend you guys at the drop of a hat.
