Home stretch now.

I'm tired and can't wait to go to bed.

But you can see those mountains I mentioned, truly a place of natural beauty.

Compared to Nigeria landscape, it looks like the views of Oban hills from calabar -Itu road. Another place one could get such view is driving from odukpani to Awi Akampa and looking for the undulating skyline of Oban massive in the horizons.
Very beautiful and captivating!

Hi Guys,

Pls, is having cracks on plastered wall an issue to be worried about or it will be taken care of during painting?

I have attached the picture. Thanks.

Did you pay the person that did this? Please make sure you collect your money from him, plus cost of materials.
Maybe that will deter all these apprentices from running away before completing their learning experience.

It’s a pity; you didn’t mention your location. Experts here could have been able to advise you well.

Be careful, my brother. Dem go skwana your money.

Are the rods locally made or imported or TMT?

A local TMT (usual one) is not more than N1,050,000 per tonne for 16mm. Local ones are between N700k and N800k. Buy your binding wire at the place where the rods are bought too and it would be cheaper. If the binding wire looks too stronger for bending, your iron benders will help you burn it a little with tyres and it would become softer.

The wood planks you need to buy the ones that are cut with band (bahn) saw, for them to be straight and be useful for lintel and decking so as not to be leaking your concrete.

Don’t let them supply you anyhow woods because the prices quoted for the woods up there are not for the band saw type. There would be too many short and bad ones among them.

For wood planks of 1x9 and 1x6, kukuma buy 1x12 and pay them a token to rip the planks to your desired sizes. The off cuts can be useful for so many things onsite.
So, calculate all the 1 x 12 you would need together and negotiate it once.

For plumbing, ask him if he is using semi-thick or thick imported. I will advise you use thick imported.
Go and buy it yourself. Let the seller show you samples and you would notice the differences.

Be there when they are laying or fixing the pipes or let someone who is articulate be there.
Let them wash off the dust and dirt on the pipes and clean the pipes with dry cloth before applying gums. Let them apply the gums generously for you not to have a leaking pipe.

Those nails are expensive e.g. the 3” is between N30k to N36k per bag.

Iron bending could be negotiated to N45k per tonne of iron bent by an iron bender.
Just calculate cost per size of the rod bent, using the N45k (total number of rods in a particular mm, divided by N45k) then multiply it by actual number of the class of rods used by the bender.

There’s nothing listed there that you can’t buy by yourself.

You forgot to mention original gum. There are so fake pluming gums these days in the market. Original Abro gum is the best but the price is Ike x2 what they are selling other products.
Leaking pipes after installing could really be a big pain. A tin of Abro is about #12k while others are sold between 7-8k . They will try to convince you that all gums are the same, no they are not.
For the pipes, Nigerite seems to be the best. Its is also more expensive than imported ones.

I don’t believe the whole of this story. It sounds like a concocted piece by one pained individual, especially some disgruntled in-laws .

michlins:
80,000/m as at today

Where's the location of the job?

Ikom in Cross River State. It is 3 hours from Calabar.

michlins:
na me do those rails for a member here

Please can I have an idea of how much the cost is per meter as at today?

Oga Michilin, can you do type of rail?

I was there and involved. No be hear say.

Akika dimma ri a ya!

My country people and elders in the building
Na my first time to build.... I kept bringing out money so tey i spent way above my budget just to get to lintel phase however please I need an advise for an estimate cost for the decking for a semi detached duplex (4 bedroom each duplex I.e 8 bedroom semi-detached duplex)

The site engr has estimated about #4,226,000 just for the rods (decking) while another engr on the side who is willing to handle has estimated #1,050,000

Brethren to say I am confused is an understatement

I decided to run here and perhaps get professional advice.
Please note that this is the cost for rod alone

Let me break it further how they arrived at the said amount

Site Engr;
70 lengths of 16mm rod @17,000 =#1,190,000
300 lengths of 12mm rod @9,400 =#2,820,000
50 lengths of 8mm rod-@3400 =#170,000
Binding wire = #45000
Total = #4,225,000

*Alternate Engr*

2) *ROD 16M² 25PIECES PER 1? N14,500× 25 = N350,000*

3) *ROD 12M² 60 PIECES PER 1? N9,200 × 60 = N552,000*

4) *ROD 8M² 30 PIECESB PER 1? N4,500 × 30 = N135,000*

6) *BANDING WIRE #20,000*

Total = N1,057,000

Please make una choke mouth for the matter

Go and get the materials as listed by the first person yourself. You might even need more. The 16mm is a lot or I would assume he is also doing the staircase or your house has a few cantilevers.
Just ignore that second person, except you have money to throwaway.

ChybuzzDD:
Can you transport to Enugu?? If so, let me know, though the distance is quite far
I have some work that's pending now because of granite

People in the East get their granite from Okigwe

DaddyCoool:
Learn to state the TRUTH or KEEP QUIET!! No matter who is involved. Stop letting racism or tribalism twist your mind to the existent of LYING!
I love MY African Americans and Africans but I won't let that lead me to telling ridiculous LIES!

See who is talking about racism. Someone who disgracefully encouraged and cheered another person to call black people evil. Is that how you love?
You are full of hate and lies. You don’t love anything. Stop being defensive. The only reason you have decided to say you love all these people is just to sound nice here and for records washing.
Don’t worry, we can’t be deceived with your lies.

Stanleymaster1:
World Bank even join dey kill nigeria.

I dey tell you!

DaddyCoool:
What is wrong with this fellow?! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM??!! Go read the story yourself - it is all over the internet!! The attack was planned and TOTALLY unprovoked and he did cite insanity!! Go read it! Stop being lazy!! You have to repost a statistic I myself posted to show you're LYING in saying blacks don't do mass shootings - when percentage-wise they've actually done it more than whites!!

Look at him vomiting trash about percentage . Your type, one life lost is just another number, statistics right? . Typical of his style in twisting the narrative. I can’t help you. Your mind is far bended more than I had assumed
I will leave you to continue to glorify your self hate. Maybe that makes you feel acceptable wherever you are.
Even the most miserable person on earth or animals do not hate or bad mouth himself nor his own.

Your “statistics” was reposted to rub your ignorance on your face.

DaddyCoool:
What the heck is he yapping about? It was a TOTALLY UNPROVOKED mass shooting by a 62-year old BLACK man (see below).
This is not a matter of self-hate or self-love. It is a matter of telling the TRUTH!

What truth? Typical of all your response here. Just copy and paste narrow excerpts to proof points.
You forgot to extract the part he pleaded guilty accepting responsibility. An exact opposite of others who would claim insanity.
You think you are talking to your fellow shallow minded ones, who would accept falsehood, and a lobe-sided narrative lacking context.
Where in what you posted do you have the background information about the individual?
Until you can show that he was not provoked, all you are doing is running in circles. Go ahead and make us believe your lies!
It is really surprising how someone would go to this length to paint himself and his kin as the devil. It is now your duty to prove that the blacks are more evil than everyone else. Continue!


These numbers are how you are able to show that blacks are more evil than everyone. You need serious help!

jahsharon:
You are showing signs of advanced psychiatric disorders. We are the BATeria and you cannot see us with your eyes except using microscope, that is why we have infected you with incurable psychiatric disorders

I would have replied you but unfortunately the psychiatric diagnosis you mentioned is not in any diagnostic manual.
It only exist in your imagination, which amounts to being delusion. A precursor to schizophrenic disorder.
However you due to your limited insight, you might not seek treatment.

DaddyCoool:
Totally different matter
No reason why u should go about telling easily disproved LIES!

You are the liar. Until I see the incident report , you will never achieve anything from self hate and the hate of your kind.
Even the news you cited mentioned that there was prior provocation before the incident, but typical of your style, you ignored that part to suit your narrative

DaddyCoool:
How's about this below?
Ridiculous guy stop arguing pure crap

Continue to celebrate those that brainwashed you to believe that blacks more evil. Even when the evidence is right before your eyes, you choose to be far gone.

DaddyCoool:
Ridiculous guy who was saying a second ago there've never been black mass shooters. When in fact percentage-wise there've been far more black mass shooters than whites! Facts

You are only smart by half. Don’t try to cherry pick my statement to suit your argument. Do you have the full incident report of the cases?
Go back and read what I wrote, comprehensively. Also don’t forget to mention where they claimed insanity after the act.
Again I repeat, there have never been any incident where a black would just wake up, without any prior provocation and go on a shooting spray.

As old as he is, he is still found doing hairstyles

That hair is part of what puts food on his table.

DaddyCoool:
See below. Facts

Very interesting. Now we have seen that blacks are not the only devils as they are being portrayed. I have made my point.

DaddyCoool:
Hope u know the difference between general homicide cases and GUN homicide cases

Based on my initial comment which you quoted, I challenge you to show us any news publication where a black person is involved in mass shooting? I mean like waking up, premeditation and going to shoot random innocent people. Then, claim insanity.

twinskenny:
You are not an Engr’ and you given an Engr advice? Who’s said 4mm is too small for heater and ac??

Hello Sir,
How possible is it to depend solely on solar for domestic cooking instead of gas. I know it has to be with electronic stove. Like how many kw?
And can a fully charged system cook a big pot of beans from start to finish?

DaddyCoool:
Right! If it were here in Naija they'd play it that the pastor can miraculously stop guns. (Then there's those who'd say he's into juju - odeshi!)





He's right
See it in black and white below

Hope you know the difference between mass shooting and general homicide cases

Rapmoney:
What is with blacks and gun violence in the US?

You are wrong. Check all the mass shooters, no black.
Stop bad mouthing your own

Okon, Akpan, and Ekpeyoung

The once monthly Nigeria community meeting we attend here is always fun. People contribute for different foods, drinks and small snacks.
They play music and dance. Good orators tell funny jokes.
I always look for to attend the end of month meeting.
Not only that, whenever any member has something like wedding, burial ceremony or graduation, they show up en mass. They make dollars rain.
They also look out for one another, have welfare officers who check on people they have not seen after a while.
They have a group life insurance policy. They have a group store discount card where you could use the card to purchase things on good discount from certain stores. People tell each other about job openings.
They also make sure the deceased body is taken home for final burial if the family so desires.
Long live OPA Boston!
