Hello to everybody. Long time lurker here. Got a few questions - any reason as to why windows from build pictures I have seen here are very small? Why are the roofs so tall? Any aesthetically pleasing alternatives to the ugly burglary proof iron bars? 2 Likes |

qdlvy: You can decide to use rectangular - horizontal windows instead of the tiny vertical commonly used here despite the fact that our weather is hot. The reason for the tiny windows are cost as the windows are billed based on the measurement. I used 2600x1400 rectangular sliding windows for rooms and lesser measurements for other places. As for the burglary, I use the normal white horizontal pipes. Maximum of 4 for downstairs windows and just two and one for upstairs. In my upstairs, I used single white iron pipe for toilet and some other smaller places. My burglary is just to protect my kids from falling from the windows and not for a thief. I hate the crude and un aesthetically appealing burglaries use in Nigeria. It makes the windows looks crude. You will see a high rise building with burglary everywhere and I asked for what exactly. Will an armed rubber climb up to that length of building to steal. If given way, I will do away with the burglary thing and leave my windows like that. Any thief that remembers me, I wll host him and offer him drink See one of the large windows I did and it will carry only 3 straight white horizontal pipes that will align with the white window blinds that I will put so that when the window blinds are open, it will cover the white burglary pipe somehow. Also consider emergency exit when designing your burglary. You shouldn't just have the thief in mind when designing your window protector, consider also emergency situations on how to eject or exit the building. 1 Like

Please, is it better to mold blocks now that we're in raining season. Someone advised that I save money for water and start the block now. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Chekitaut: 9:23am On Jul 31, 2020 |
PuZZyNegro:The same rain can reduce the strength of the blocks too. Little water is needed when producing after 8hrs more water is needed for curing when a Cement Rapid(R) is used, When a Cement Normal(N) next day water is required. |

Storey building is not a project you should take with light hand or joke about, it very dangerous! To avoid future problem that might leads to collapse (which will cost you more than consulting professional), please consult structural engineer for analysis(if you have) Jonecbosco: |

This should be the effect of the paint. Meanwhile, always buy your paint from paint company(don't give painter your money to buy it), I learnt this last week when we bought dulux paint from one of their depot. The painter beg I gave him the dulux container, I insist he tell me what he wants to use it for if he wants me to give him! Behold, he said he usually make paint so he will just use it as container(meaning he can sell to his client and lied he bought dulux paint "silk". Beware Person2person: 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 2:31pm On Jul 31, 2020 |
Abolarin91:They buy dulux and all the big brand's container very high. So the painter just pour some budget grade paint in it and and pass it to the client as the brand or get someone to manually mix paint for them and use the container. I've even seen painters get some popular brand's container freshly printed by those guys at mushin and you won't notice the printing from the real company's container. Even some staff of the companies do side runs. It's a win win situation. They are happy to pay for the brand's logo and the painter makes cool cash without the owner knowing the difference between it and a much lower produced grade paints. Some say we are just marketing and so and so brands is the best but they won't even know the difference when applied for same quality not to talk of lower grade manufactured with hands and repackaged. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Do you think the store will pass other paint as dulux? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 2:37pm On Jul 31, 2020 |
GoodFaith:Depends on the store. But most times they don't go to store to get them. They just get the container and put another brand or locally produce and use it. 1 Like |

You can see how dubious we human being are! Why will I even pay for an artisan to get me materials! Recently a client from nairaland requested for quotation on barb wire, I gave him quotation base on the real measurement of the materials(no reduction), the man said he have seen someone with 1/2 price of what I gave him, fortunate for him he gave me the guy's contact to speak with him. When I called him, I disguised as a customer and I ask him just two question while I put the phone on speaker, the man was supprised with what he heard on phone from the other guy. gbadexy: |
