Cement 1000bags ×4500=360,000
Granite 10 tons = 140,000
Filling red sand 50 tons = 100,000 plus laborers
Dues , local government, area boys, Baale, town planning, foundation receipt from the community, minimum & cheapest 300,000k
Sharp sand 15 tons = 80k
Soft sand 15 tons = 60k
Carpenter foundation & lintel = 150,000 cheapest
Workmanship to lintel 200,000 cheapest
Water 50k
Local Iron bars, iron bender & accessories for lintel = 300,000k minimum
And so on and so forth........

They definitely didn't put any preservatives in it. Paints with no chemical to preserve to preserve it would spoil and smell within a week.
With good preservatives, it would last for 3 months to a year depending on the type and quantity used.
Okay Sir, thank you so much... 🙏

Geo survey is to know exactly what they getting into in terms of depth, rock/soil type, availability of water etc, in fact it is an investigation of what is underground . Some people that have worked in a particular area in the past can make assumptions about that area but I don’t think that is the best practice.
Okay Sir...thanks for the detailed explanation..

The first thing to do is to conduct a Geo-Survey which cost 40k. Once the survey is done we can now do our interpretation and give you a quotation of how much the drilling will cost
Geo survey to know the best spot to drill? And also, you don't do the drilling yourself right?

There are standing fans that covers more areas than the ceiling fans.
At the same time? I don't think so though...

If your Palour is big, imagine installing two ceiling fans....
If it's not big, one ceiling fan will spoil the show and it wouldn't reach all corners.
Classy Chandelier, no matter how small brings out the beauty of pop.
Not thinking of using it in the parlor but in the rooms...

Not only the beauty of the POP, but I always think sometimes in feature the installation will be weak and then start rubbing on the POP.
So, I have always prefer the rotating standing fans to distribute the air in support of the ACs. There is always a big result when you combine the ACs and fans.
My personal two cents. smiley

Hajji M.
Standing fan do not cover large areas... If the hook is installed before the pop is set, I don't think it should have any effect on the pop

I must have ceiling fan hanger, there are very beautiful ceiling fans with chandelier that would give the space that grand style of spectacular opulence. Moreover standing fan is too direct and won’t get to all directions at the same time.
Even if I end up not using the hanger for fan, a nice chandelier in that place wouldn’t hurt.
Too much lights for me 🤣🤣🤣

Choke/driver is cheap no need moving the light in and out of the ceiling.
Oshey...choke is cheap so, I should spend money for a drum of paint on chokes 😁😁😁🤧🤧🤧... Well, I have left the middle designs for now...maybe when there's spare money, will get the chokes

Thanks for sharing with me. I’m actually not here to trade. There are some request that I cannot just overlook especially from those who wouldn’t mind reaching out to me privately. I’m happy to give back without asking for anything I return. That shouldn’t pose any threat!

The karma thing you mentioned sir is a double edged sword - good and bad. I’ve always prayed that we are all rewarded according to our deed. So, I welcome Mr. Karma wholeheartedly.

To those who are aggrieved on one way or the other, I’m sorry and I’m happy you’re all doing great without issues or challenges in your projects. That’s all that matters!

Best always!

Respect to you Sir... I still recall all your positive inputs you made on my project... If I may, please just settle the issue you have and let things be as they were, if not better... Won't lie, your presence to me is highly missed.. Just resolve it which is long overdue.

Passing through the ceiling might look somehow to me. It means part of the strip light will be in the ceiling void .and heat might be a negative effect on it. If the areas is under the decking i.e on ground floor you can pass it through the ceiling . But the best practices is to have individual driver .

Thanks
Thanks Sir for your response.... It is just a bungalow no decking...

Good evening everyone... Please I need help with this.... I have something similar to this and I want to ask if I should buy a different choke or let the strip light pass through the ceiling and share one choke? Cos electrician is suggesting I get different choke for each box cos passing it through the ceiling consumes more tape light
