demurrage and delays at the wharf is a problem. The time it takes to clear goods now is longer due to congestion.

Everything we see now is after effects of lockdown imposed during the height of COVID-19.

Please know that I don't hold brief for anyone oh
Except this is what is going on everywhere in the world.

The one priced @335k is THERMOCOOL and the large.
But my brother, if I show you some crazy price differences in this stuff from 2018 till date, you go open mouth.
You'll see something of 100k today, if you go back to order for a new stock next week, you fit see crazy price increase.
Hisense 1hp AC that was not up to 80k in 2019, it is now 133k general price (individual gives different prices though).
And things are increasing, not coming down.
This country is not helping matter at all.
This MAXI below (4 burners + 2 hotplates) - total 6face is over 250k. grin
I just hope this is not the one you talked about, if na this one, this country is gone.
LOL.
It's the wood design type.
Yes, total of 6 plates.

The wooden front is more expensive than this.

Dollar is coming down, yet prices of items going up.

Before they blamed dollar rate, what should be blamed now?
PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 1:53pm On Nov 24, 2021
What is currently going on in this country?

Got a big one (6 burners) about a little more than a year ago for less than 200k I think (Maxi). #335k for 5 burners is something else.

Grandstronics21:
Good afternoon, sir.
Check out the ones below if they fit your choice...
They are both 5 Burners each. 60 x 90 (large).

1st picture (MIDEA 60 by 90 cm) 5 Burners = 205k

2nd picture (THERMOCOOL 60 by 90 cm) 5 Burners = 335k

That was how I bought a 4.5kva generator, only to find the coil of a 3.0kva gen in it.

Paid for 4.5kva gen
Got a coil of 3.0 gen.

Finished roofing some weeks ago + the plexiglass roofing of the atrium (Felting and all that inclusive). cool
Plumbing piping is done (Main house and SH) cool
Electrical piping is almost done. cool

Suspending wiring which is supposed to start mid-week till after plastering/windows or separate burglaries/temp doors at least for the entrances. smiley

The cost of things actually fighting against my quest to wait before venturing into the finishing stages. I fear if I wait to gather enough, the cost of things may likely deal with me as it has dealt with me partially for the delay suffered in the hands of the previous contractor. angry

My head is calculating........ embarassed

The next stage involves a lot (New sets of artisans/vendors (Hopefully they won't stress me)

Thanks so far to @Twinskenny (Electricals)
QSfemi (QS)
Olaleye2real (Plumbing)
Ola (Felt)
Gift (Atrium roof)
Babatunde (Main roofing (MH/SH)
Segcymoore (PT architect)
Fortune (My able PM)

A big mention goes to sypder880, and Segcymoor for the advice so far.

Segcymoore is just too mature and responsible, still gives advice, helps source for contacts when I call on him even though his quotation for the same project was not picked. when any of his contacts want to misbehave, he still goes out of his way to bring them to order.

Still waiting for @N3xt (Brabus) to do the needful before I share my overall opinion of him for the past 11 months of contacting him.

Yes, its frameless.


I bought a similar type for N48,000 each.



These are very different, these frames have an extended pillar which allowed the burglary to go through each of the aluminium pillars and thus provides the needed support. This is a feature with these new profiles.
Thanks. I'm favoring the frame less too.

₦48k? And someone on the construction thread said ₦65k. How can you help if I decide to buy some and keep?

My kids who are fourteen, eleven and seven intend to to retire by thirty years old and want to be serial entrepreneurs.

They are all master bakers at a young age and each has a savings account where they put their earnings and gifts.

I taught them baking and I watch them improve everyday.

They have started young.
Great, but you should be teaching them how to be earning from investing the money they are wasting away in the name of saving.

How can I?

Work hard in my youth and build investment portfolios with
passive income.

Even When you retire in your 40s you can afford to have your PA
handle your phones on all your affairs while you chill in your luxurious home enjoying life and watching your kids grow.
Yes, it's possible.

You already listed some of the steps.

let's say a window is above 6ft, what I do is to divide the burglary into two equal design. That way, I ensure that the design remains same without looking out of shape.

If you look at the windows done by Oga mi, they're all very big
Yes. Similar to some of my windows.

PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 12:16pm On Nov 20, 2021
You need to know the title the land comes with, then contract a reputable surveyor or lawyer to help verify the documents.
The land survey is very important, especially if buying from individuals.

To save yourself a lot of stress, go for lands with at least excision sir.

A reputable/qualified Surveyor or lawyer should be able to handle the verification with relevant government agencies.


neduboo:
Please I need help?

I'm a first-time intended land buyer. What are the necessary things I need to know before buying land in Lagos?

What documents should I inquire from the seller and do I need to go to the ministry to confirm that the land is not within government acquisition?

Please guide me abeg.

michlins:
in my opinion, once a window is above 6ft high, your best bet is to use horizontal lines so for it to be sturdy and not wobbly.

Anyway look at these samples of burglaries
The picture of the burglary you posted is vertical, not horizontal or am I missing something?
