Though u started it but as a matured mind simple man, and for the sake of peace.

Proverbs 26:2 says and I quote.
Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.

You shall not be curse but rather you are bless in Jesus name.

Amen grin

Not because I fear your words, but for peace to reign.

Advice your friend to go and pay his igbese.

200 years? There's no black that won't fade a bit, longevity depends on the coating.

Although I've answered this in my Roofing thread bit the one thing that struck me here is that you want to use black and you don't want it to fade.

Just go straight to Tower Aluminum in Ikeja, Lagos.
They have black that will last longer than the others before fading. It's a bit pricey.

Tower Aluminum, First Aluminum, Sumo aluminium at Mangoro.. etc..

***Try to use 0.55mm and not 0.50mm.
***Avoid Metcoppo if you want peace of mind.
***Normal vorrugation of longspan preferred.

This your house looks like it's around Akingbile or Moniya axis?

You have said it all.

Personally I had a nasty leak issue with it about 4 years ago. Hajj Mufutau55 knew about it. Since then, I only do longspan and steptiles except client can pay for Tower Aluminum.

If you've been on this topic, Spyder880 also detailed his leak issues with metcoppo.

Alot of other contractors also shared their experiences. All in all, it wasn't great.

Good day house,

After much deliberation a tank stanchion has been decided.

My welder quoted for a 40ft stand and the price sent shockwaves down my spine.

Please help look at the quote, I believe it can be achieved for less. And I know @michlins isn’t based in lagos, I would have contacted him for the job.

Happy New year my People

please I want experts in the house to help me with some clarity

I have an interlocked compound that isn't up to 2years but it gets messy during raining season and changes colour completely. I want to do a stamped concrete or even ordinary concrete flooring.
Is it wise to do my concrete flooring on the interlock or to remove the interlock completely. I was thinking leaving the interlock might give flooring some added strength but I am worried it might crack if there is no proper adhesion between both the interlock and the new concrete mix.

To be honest I don't want to waste the interlock.


Please what's your take...any expert advice from the house.

It won’t work sir you have to remove the interlocks, you can reach out to us for stamp installation.

The people that did your interlock apparently did a bad job

Oga mi, I surely remembered that metcopo wahala roof o.
From that time I never use anything but Longspan again. Longspan is fancy enough for me.
Roof leakage wahala is not a joke o, many times the POP was destroyed and had to be redone.
Metcopo if not properly corrugated will surely have a leakage problem. But I also has Metcopo on another house that does not have even a small leak.
