lawali: Bro, I am also interested in the contact as am also at the decking stage.I will mail u on that. But on second thought, I have read that decking from repeated use of same materials (especially wood) does notmlook to good. The base of the deck looks undulating due to deformed wood surface. I dont know how far this is true? Can someone help to clarify? It may be good to save money but the quality must not be compromised.
Everything you read about using the same plank over and over for decking is absolutely true and correct. You can never ever compare new plank/woods to used at least I can attest to that from experience. It's easier to work with new planks both for the carpenter and during plastering. I was able to get the guys to use some new or maybe freshly used (like once) plank for mine. And like you rightly said, the part where they used some bended planks created extra job for the plastering guys bcox they had to chisel that part to level with other part of the decking before plastering. All the same, it was worth the price for me! N250k for both plank, bamboo, nails, and labour compare to almost N600k.

diordaves: Spyder880 well done. You are really doing good. Your decking cost profile is really decent. Keep with the good work.

Going forward with God's blessing for your next decking job; instead of buying planks and wood and employing the services of a carpenter to install and bring down the formwork; it could be advantageous to explore the services of those hiring out panels for decking. They are normally responsible for installing and dismantling ALL formwork which includes carpentry labour all for about 400K. If you had adopted this option; you MAY have saved close on for 200K. I normally use this option.

For the foundation; you could not have done any better. When I saw the height of the foundation I knew immediately you were in "trouble" with backfilling cost. One could spend well over 500k just to sand-fill such foundation. Yes the soil structure took you by surprise but I must say you adjusted well.

Lesson to be learnt: always give your cost estimate subject to soil condition. It's well.

But again; for the options you adopted; your cost profile is envious. Keep at being the man you are. God Bless.
I used the same option you mentioned here two years ago. I paid about N250k if I recall very well for everything. Plank, bamboo, nail, labour, and they came back after two or three weeks to tear down and carry their stuff. My initial estimate was close to 550/600k to buy mine and labour. This was in Lagos by the way.

FamilyNigerian Jailed For 90yrs In US For Fathering Kids With Own Daughter by princeonx(op): 4:28pm On Jul 29, 2013
An award-winning Nigerian music director, Aswad Ayinde, found guilty of fathering children with his daughters will spend the rest of his life in jail. According to Mail Online, Ayinde, 55, of Paterson, New Jersey, United States, was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Friday after being found guilty in the second of five expected trials in which he is accused of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in six children being fathered.

Mr. Ayinde was found guilty in his latest trial of having intercourse with a daughters when she was as young as eight-years-old. The second sentence adds to the 40 year sentence Mr Ayinde received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter. Mr. Ayinde is known for directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 smash hit “Killing Me Softly.”

In a disturbing disclosure during his first trial, Mr. Ayinde’s former wife said he was trying to create a “pure family bloodline” by impregnating his daughters. He even claimed during a pre-trial hearing before the first trial that “the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen.” In this latest trial, it was revealed that Mr. Ayinde began having intercourse with his second daughter from the time she eight-years-old, impregnating her four times.

The sexual assaults happened for almost 30 years until Mr. Ayinde and his wife separated, officials said. They occurred in numerous homes across northern New Jersey, even while the family was under watch of state child welfare officials, according to NBC New York. Some of the rapes even took place in an abandoned funeral home.

The family moving as far away as Florida to avoid investigation after case workers removed multiple children from the Ayinde household in 2000, resulting in Mr. Ayinde being arrested for kidnapping for trying to take them from state custody in a medical center, NBC New York reported. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received a year’s probation – as he continued raping one daughter for at least another two years, according to officials.

The depraved father also beat and starved the girls using wooden boards and steel-toed boots for even “minor transgressions,” Ayinde’s wife testified at the first trial. Some of the children Ayinde fathered with his daughters were born in the home, with at least two babies who died in the home having been buried without notifying authorities or obtaining birth certificates, NBC New York reported.

Ayinde’s tortured daughters were home schooled and isolated from other children, so as to keep the family secrets hidden, the station added. With his wife too afraid to confront him, Mr. Ayinde carried out his evil plan without hindrance even while directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 breakout hit ‘Killing Me Softly, for which he won ‘Best R&B Video’ at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards. The Fugees are also originally from Northern New Jersey.

I was just quoting you until I read the funny part where you explained how the car will be bought in pieces lol! Even if the car was stolen, where will the thief title it before shipping or whatever? I get such calls everyday and the picture part is the most annoying to me. Someone need or want a 2001 sienna, they know what it is and how it look yet they'll call you for the price and specs they want then start asking for pictures knowing very well that they are yet to send the money and you haven't even bought the car. At the end of the day they get a completely different 2001 sienna or even 02 if lucky with a different colour.
Car TalkRe: Nigerians Dont Care About High Mileage? - Is It True by princeonx: 4:34pm On Jul 26, 2013
Fhemmmy: Ok, here is how we do it . . . You could sell the person the car with no engine, no doors and no tires for 1.5M Naira and when he has more money, he will buy the engine and in turn buy the doors and tires when he has more money again, so by the time he buy the ride, engine, doors and tires, he would have paid the real cost of the ride . . anyhow, in one words, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a 2007/2008 Highlander at such ridiculous price where Canadian $$ is around 162 Naira to 1CND$? grin grin grin
Shipping is more expensive and when done via container, clearing is more expensive too . . . even a 2001 Highlander wont be 1.5M Naira
Bros! I wasn't only waiting for your reply, I was already looking for your number to call you and find out how possible or how you you plan to buy, ship, and deliver or rather buy and ship, or even just buy an 07/08 highlander for 1.5m naira.

@op: the most important thing to Nigerians when buying cars is how clean/neat the car is, followed by how cheap/affordable the purchase price is, the maintenance and parts.
All that colour crap: no red oh, no white oh, na leather, etc is b$!
I have sold a lot of white colour cars in naija bcox sometimes this cars are 200k cheaper than other colours and still very clean!
Bottom line: price!

You are missing the point! Don't let naija tribalistic $h!t blind you when judging something that happened in The US. The EMS couldn't get into the airport entrance or wherever they needed to be to help the man because the security card for some reason won't let them. This has nothing to do with being a Nigerian or not and in a case of emergency or immidiately attention like this, no one talk of race, colour and all that until needed help is rendered.
