The kabba/Obajana he constructed is terrible but he maintains it regularly so, not obvious

What makes the Lagos own different?

But why is the one Dangote is doing along Oshodi Apapa road not like that?

Evidence that the heart is like a pump.

Say what you don't know.. The one I got for.my wife on her birthday early last year was direct from US, it's RX 350 04 the last batch of that set before the remodel design.

Them don cheat you. Lexus did not make the 3.5 L ( Rx 350) engine until 2006. Then it debut in 2007 . Before then it was the 3.3L ( Rx 330) engine.
Who manufactured the one you bought?

There is nothing like 2005 model of Lexus RX 350.
It should be RX 330

Don’t go and be telling them every detail of your household. Preserve some and preserve your dignity.
Not when your husband is short of money and you support him with the house rent, then you go at his back and lament to your parents.

Even your close siblings, stop telling them belittling stuff about husband, because they will turn around and tell your parents.

Don’t compare your father to your husband, that is an insult.

Find creative ways to diffuse tension. Don’t try to win any argument. Somethings are not worth repeating. Say it once and leave it there.

Call your husband sweet names, let him feel that he is incharge. Pray for him and his source of income. Let him hear you pray. This will make know that you wish him well.

Let him know that everything will be fine, even in very difficult situations . Celebrate even the little things he do.. He will do more.

Always forgive and advise him .

This will really help your project and give you good mileage.

Here’s a message from my client (someone at the same pedestal with Isa Pantami) on managing challenges on my current project.

Anytime a barber is shaving the back of your head with a very sharp razor, it is better to hold your head really still.

Boss , I got you right sir,
Someone here last time said that i don’t speaks queen English.. according to him he said it’s red flag for him to give contract to someone who can’t tow this line.
I just laughed, May be I will invite the guy to come to site and speak queen English to workers at site so that the workers can deliver queen structure.

Go and ask Patric Obagbon from Benin how with his Balablu blu Bala.

double your budget for something really good. I got this one called predator. It's a foreign used but trust me, it's almost over a year of steady usage and I only buy engine oil.

Many people who bought after I did,(all these China imported) have either replaced or managing their own. And it's used for welding works

I got it from this nairaland sef

I just need something they can use at the site right now, that can at least pump water.
I bought a 10kw for them but they left it in rain. Now the coil is bad. You can imagine! 150k to fix they said.
Building while one is not there is the grace of God. From one story to another.
I will look for another 9 - 10kw one and put in a container.

Who knows any brand of petrol generator one can get for #250k and the capacity. Thanks.

Don't get offended....

On paper 1:2:4 for example is eg 1 wheel barrow of cement to, 2 of sand and 4 of granite.

But if you do this in practice, you have a bad mix.

I don't know how to explain it than asking that you try it out.....

Goodluck.

You are right to an extent. Part of the reason is that there is no uniformity in standard of materials. People source the locally available materials, whether sand, granite or cement for their construction needs. These materials are not always there same.
Differences exist in terms of their composition and aggregate. For instance, the moisture content, impurities, particle sizes and natural composition often differ. These variations will effect mix ratio.
Therefore without experience, it would be naive and counterproductive to go by any standard mix ratio . So, those ratios only serve as guide. In practice, it is advisable to actually go by what is on ground. A little more or a little less from the acceptable ratio.
If one must use ratio, then standard materials must be sourced for consistency . Stores like Home Depot, lowes etc have sand in cement like bags that have pass through quality control from the bagging factory. With those, one can’t go wrong with standard mix ratio.

Baba, the only difference is marble dust is not something I can pick from mama monsura and I no wan go buy e dey work like marble dust.

This is Naija!

I hope you understand me now.

Marble dust go full Orile Coker or Agric market or Ojuelegba, no need to go far.
Just that you never had need for it before now, that is why it seems novel.

n3xt:
Ok.

I always buy 900 bags trailer 😂 and this might confuse many other people who do not understand your logic.

I always use teaspoon for my tea and the first example I gave might as well confuse many who use table spoons.

That is why ratio do not have unit.
If your trailer is 900 bags of cement, use 900 x 4 Bags of sand.

n3xt:
Gbadexy I found this product from Centrecoat. I think this should work like the marble dust.

There is no difference between the marble dust Gbadexy recommended and the one you posted. Quartz and Marble at that fine particle sizes should give almost the same texture.

Those people just want use big grammar and packaging sell market.

n3xt:
Smiles.

Pls explain 1 trailer of cement to 4 trailers of sand.

I trailer na 600 bags. Yourself put 600 bags of sand on a trailer let’s check something.

See the maths below

600 x 50 = 30000 kg = 30tons of cement
So for a 1: 4 ration
You will need 4 of 30 tons trailers of sand

rotecch77:
1million pec right

Yes. That is why ratio generally does not have units. They cancel out . So we say would 1: 4, instead of saying 1 headpan of cement to 4 headpans of sand.

saydfact:
.
On paper yes..... But practically No.

Educate me.

Alkanelly:
so the ratio 1:4 is one bag of cement to 4 head pan of sand or wheelbarrow, which is the right mix.

Thank you

1 spoon of cement to 4 spoons of sand
Or
1 trailer of cement to 4 trailers of sand

Or
50kg of cement to 200k of sand

Good evening house,

Please what is the best material to be used for a kitchen table top? HDF wood or Marble? Is there a cheaper alternative that water resistant and will last longer?

Terrazzo ( cheaper, waterproof and lasting)

Spandau:
It tells nothing other than shortage of officers. There is no big deal in what he did. I have already highlighted what may have occurred. He wasn't victorious in battle against the likes of Benjamin Adekunle and his ilk. He was only victorious against Northern soldiers who were as dumb as fvck. It was even fine officers like Victor Banjo, whom Ojukwu maliciously executed for daring to advise him against advancing on the West, who helped Biafra secure the Midwest.

Why do you Africans hate to read and despise simple research so much! The time you wasted in spilling all these biles would have been enough to do ordinary Wikipedia search.
No, instead everything must be Yoruba/ Igbo prick length measurement contest. Tufia!
For your information, Brigadier General Archibong has nothing to do with Nigeria civil war. He went mostly on international missions, leading Nigerian troops during his prime .

Oga oo!

Spandau:
He probably faced a platoon of godogodo imbeciles who couldn't shoot straight or they were surprised with their pants down. (Sleeping, ambush) He didn't face well trained soldiers.

He rose up to the rank of a general from just being a major leading battalions .
That should tell you something.

Spandau:
Why are you this delusional? In wars, people die. Soldiers fall in combat. What are you talking about? No matter how well trained an army is, if the well trained enemy is not shooting rubber bullets, casualties will be recorded. Period!

I have given you specific example. Check Brigadier general Archibong Wikipedia .
There was no need for the insult.

AirBay:
Its war, both sides will loose soldiers.

The ration is still 50:1

50 on hamas

War is bad mate.

When Major Dan P Archibong led Nigerian troops to war , he did not lose a single man.

Here’s the thing baba kopell:

What you celebrate quickly becomes embedded in your culture.

Nothing happened to the good old days, it’s what you celebrate that’s becoming your culture. Instead of chasing vision, we were chasing… 🤭

Is this how it’s done in the developed world or it’s only black man thing? 🌚


Our differences won’t stop me from saying “Good Afternoon to you Baba Kopell!” 😀


As an adult, we must learn to disagree with others without being disagreeable.

Lapses in our value system have contributed a lot to sheepish tendencies.
In the developed world, even kids grow up knowing basic civic education.
Even through coercion , they can’t give up their right. For instance, the first amendment guarantees freedom of speech.
Try taking it away from them, but I recommend you don’t.

gbadexy:
It may stay but I doubt the bond between them would be strong. It would also consume more graffitex due to porosity and high absorption.
Stabilizing solution may be applied on the block before application of graffitex.

Mr Gbagexy, they said you are 100% legit. Is it true?

The guy is legit 💯

Ok

I'm not holding conversation with nobody. I'm very mindful of the main purpose of this thread which is to share useful knowledge.
I posted knowing full well the information may be useful for several other people who may be in need of it.
I won't pass over any opportunity to share information to assist members here at no cost to myself and to show potential clients I'm knowledgeable in the painting industry.
I'm not endorsing or actively/passively supporting or encouraging next.
Stating my position, I'm of the opinion next should have settled with somehow if he really wanted to and urge him to do so.

I didn’t even know there was anything like marble dust in paints until you mentioned it. Now I am considering using it for my external entrance steps instead of tiles.

I need exactly this rain shower head, mixer and sprinkler. Any colors

Thank once again. I got value 🙏
