Permit me to digress

I observed here in Nigeria we rarely use plywood for kitchen cabinetry works and get them painted therafer with high quality wood paints. I noticed most home renos on TV do this a lot and I feel it gives lots of options as years go by.

Am I making sense or are we just resigned to MDF/HDF combo?

You are very correct with the observation but the problem is that most furniture maker are lazy this days some are not good to work with natural wood.
What most of them do now is “ cut and fix “ work materials “ mdf and HDF board.
My 50yrs plus old furniture man told me 3 days ago the hardship they face now to get more Labour to do real wood work, this bring the high cost on any real wood work like doors, kitchen cabinets etc

I know this project.. it is well

Smiles....I was a bit confused by your review, now I understand.

I am still thinking if the 77k for 20L is worth it. Sadly we don't have reviews here like we have online for other parts of the world. I am really interested in learning how long it lasted before needing a refresh.

Until I have that information, I think the 39k 20L is an acceptable compromise.

I have actually been talking to Sandtex. I love their range of colors and the fact that they have machines in their stores to tint the paint to any color I want.

From my research only Caplux had equal capabilities.

Berger was ruled out because they didn't have the deep colors I wanted to use.

I want to use uncommon colors in my build and I didn't like what the roadside paint shop did for me when I patronized them 2 years ago. Hence the research that led to Dulux, Caplux and Sandtex.

FEGEITOK:
Nice.

I narrowed down my paint choices to Dulux, Sandtex, Caplux and Berger.

That CAP PLC bought Sandtex validates my research. No wonder why the Sandtex website disappeared from the internet.

Thanks for your feedback

FEGEITOK:
Thanks for your comments.

Always felt that way until I reviewed this more closely today

My experience with submersible pumps, original Interdab1hp never disappoint in last 15 years when I brought the first one even since, is still the best in my experience with their output capacity. I bought couple of them for different locations since then. Either Russian or Italian made. The last one I brought pumped 10,000liters in less than 20 mins with over 95 meter depth of borehole, if it's not commercial borehole I don't think the guy needs to 2 hp, .75hp to 1hp is good enough to pump over 100 meters in my opinion

FEGEITOK:
My research on paints indicates that Dulux, Caplux and Sandtex paints are made by the same company targeting different segments of the market/purchasing power.

Please whats cost of this laser cut, the guage and length

oduncojamaica:
Sir, what is the size of the plaster board?
Length and breadth.

diordaves:
Nice one. 12.5mm will be very effective against noise, heat and will offer the flexibility to hang stuff like chandeliers or ceiling speakers.

diordaves:
Most 'standard' plasterboards (or drywall as you Americans will call it) available in the Nigerian market are considerably thinner in size than what you would normally buy in Home Depot across the Atlantic.

Just like floor tiles. Tiles available across the Atlantic are considerably thicker than in the Nigerian market.

In Nigeria you will struggle to get a 12mm/18mm plasterboard. What's readily available are about 9mm/10mm.

So for those who may need a thicker measurement probably for better sound proofing, project managing the manual process is the way to go.
