Happy sunday everyone,

I've got a few questions, hopefully someone has the answers...

1) TILING: How many SQM of wall tiles can one bag of cement install?
e.g. if i have 100sqm of external WALL TILES area to do, roughly how many bags of cement should we estimate?

We will normally just buy bulk cement and monitor, but with the price of cement some computations needed whether to commission the job or not.

2) WATERPROOFING: What is the total area (SQM) that is expected in a full roll of 3mm bituminous FELT?
Since the wet areas to be covered are reported in SQM or liner meter whereas the felt material is sold in rolls... i need to marry both for planning purposes.

Thanks

When a tiler says, 25 x60 tile..

I assume they meant length 25 x width 60.. is this correct?

Also what unit are the measurements , are they in mm or m. Like 25mm x 60mm or ?

If you are around South East and needed tiles of any kind, or at a loss on design of tiles you may need, then look no further than Obilinks (aka writeobi) at Ogidi Building Material market.

Trailing his updates here on nairaland having realised he's based in the East, I kept tab of his updates, his comments etc, then engaged him on whatsapp on couple of chats. Quite satisfied of his approach, during home visit, I arrive his office anonymously and made further enquiries on tiles, and prices. Surprisingly his qoute on whatsapp remained same even as I already have the market price of selected tiles, which also remained same and slightly better with his qoute.

Having satisfied myself on that angle of trust, I left as I came, in disguise telling him that I need to do further research on prices. He simply said 'if they're same please come back to patronise me'. He availed me of some hints to avoid being supplied of incomplete or broken tiles at less price as I left.

Fast forward a month later, I reached him again through whatsapp to enquire about price of different tiles first so as to remain in disguise. Then requested that he sent more samples which he obliged. From his new samples I made my choices and he calculated the cost based on my quantity. I dere to say that his demeanour through both my physical encounter and online were very cordial, respectful, and diligent, which provided me the basis to trust him the more even above my cousins to the point that when the cash for purchases which includes other materials were withdrawn, I directed that he be given the whole cash so as to help us procure other materials not related to tiles.

Very impressed to say that the cash remained with him till the following day (cos it's already late to complete purchases) when my cousins arrived to behold he has done other purchases, arranged transport, and loaded all the tiles. Because I gave my cousins his office address and also directed them to leave such huge amount of money in his custody overnight they thought I knew him too well. But they were shocked and very worried about the money when I told them I didn't know the guy from Adam only online through Nairaland.

Note: I am not advocating that you intentionally leave huge sums in the custody of someone you barely knew especially when there's no proof, or insurance in the event of fire, robbery, or snake in the office during the period.

Back to the issue. My cousins confessed that their mouths were wide agape when they arrived Onitsha the following day to realise that not only did they not hear a story about the money as they feared *(Or even prayed for: so they can blame me offcourse)* but that Obilinks has completed purchase of other materials, secured transportation to our village, and loaded all the tiles and other building materials he helped us purchase ready for them to go.

Remaining cash balance of N52K and all purchasing receipts were given them and behold, it was only them that gave me stories of unforseen expenditure of police this, police that, feeding this, and transport that. Finally they returned N21K (Lol! Didn't I know that?).

All these transactions took place without revealing to Obilinks that i have been to his office. Due to whatsapp he realised I wasn't based in Nigeria yet his prices didn't change neither did he buy other things off market price. Very unsual for Onitsha trader.

Anyway, Obilinks, I repeat from my experience can be adjudged as one of the honest and reputable guys here in nairaland to whom one can confidently transact with even anonymously, yet get the best of services.

Please Obi, just keep up the kind of services you gave me, and surely the sky would be your limit.

Ladies and gentlemen if you are in the South East or environs, I recommend Obilinks Tiles. He can be reached through his link below

I took time to explain this encounter cos we often say here that there are dearth of good people in Nigeria. But my experience with Obilinks surely confounds such assertions. Surely we still have trusted traders, engineers, and artisans in building construction, and this guy Obilinks (aka nairaland writeobi) is one of them I submit.

To a large extent, I think I’ve explored and used a lot of these materials.
I even went as far as talking to Hammerglass in Sweden for fortified glass but what I’ve found out is that all these solutions are not a guarantee against burglary. They can only serve as deterrent.

An armoured door without a BinLaden fortified building is just as good as having a normal door.

When armed robbers attacked one of the new generation banks, they break-in through the wall and not the doors.

God is the surest protection.
