Having washing hand basin at the dining is not an old fashion. its a nice idea and the basin for the dining is not the common type used in the toilet. There are some transparent fancy basin that you can install. Recently formatted my phone and i don't have the pictures would have love to send you some.
Tanx I really appreciate

It’s an early warning system for thieves??

Can you explain that please sir

Sure ma'am. My experience is that the noise of crunchy footsteps on gravel travels far in the night and alerts everyone so it could be an effective deterrent.

Unless of course, the supposed Burglars are from Edo State ..... (only joking!).

Hello Nairalanders,
Please I’m in search of unique screen designs for a new structure I’m working on.
The samples I’ve seen are not so appealing and other ones keep coming up.
I know there’s no better stop shop for stuff like that with experts in the house.
I’ll really appreciate your comments and contributions.
Thanks in advance.

Any luck with this my people?

Good morning Fellow Nairalanders. We get shock waves from electrical appliances in the house. What can we do to this? The electrician had claimed he did the grounding and earthing which we fully paid for during installation early in the year. This has been on for about 2 weeks now. Thanks for your anticipated response.

Size of windows matters sometimes. But if it's regular sized windows you can bargain for #2500 &#1500 . The more the windows, better less bargain.
Just shocked to find out that masons in Kaduna charge 500N nd 300N for big and small window hoods. Even plastering per partition is 800N. Labor is damn cheap here and the outcome is very usually very good.

I think the pattern mostly in the north is the job is priced wholesome.
Every region has got their own labour rates which corresponds to their cost of living.
As long as the outcome of job done is good then it's okay.

I think the best thing to do is to consult a competent Electrical Engr/Consultants!... Most artisans just go with wah dey have done or seen b4 n dey might not know how to handle critical situations.

That's y I prefer all professional be involved in a building project coz Fine appearance doesn't guarantee lifetime insurance

What he meant here is just the mix ratio of the concrete that was used.
Cement: 1 headpan Fine Sand: 2 headpan Granite: 4 headpan
For any batch of concrete mix that would be used during construction

1 headpan by weight is supposed to be 25kg

If your Cement is bagged to 50kg, that means 2headpans.

Wholesome? Did you mean that the job I taken from start to finish?
Was just discussing with the masons this morning as I was passing by a site...they were more than ready to migrate and do a plastering for a duplex and the window hood.
They said that's how much they charge here in Kd...small or big job ooo
