I have updated him on how I want it.

Thank you

But the POP TV is the raining thing now with different disco lights colours battling to outshine each other in the pop TV stand. I don't know why I am always different from the norm when it comes to taste.

For my wife, this is the new decoration in every home now but I am still sticking with my wooden design TV console.

Photos of colonial classical architecture with oversized Windows and Doors with oversized headroom from across the Commonwealth. Oh yes! I'm with you on this. I love it. One day I will achieve it. God willing.

multikolour:
its finer and simple with wood

michlins:
how big is your home and what's the cost of setting up the solar system

multikolour:
one of the challenges in Nigeria especially northern Nigeria is the dust

Honestly, I don't believe in using many windows as a form of energy savings in Nigeria with our dirty environment and poor air quality. For me, the windows in the house may be small in number but big in sizes, just for beauty and aesthetics.

For quantifiable energy savings, I use solar as my energy source now. I only switch to the mains on cloudy weather. But since December last year and now, with the intense sunlight and harmattan, my solar has been my source of power.

So, my prepaid meter has remained un-recharged for the past three months with good savings in energy cost. Ensure you have energy efficient deep freezer and ACs. The window AC may be out of fashion but a new 1hp window AC runs well with solar, lesser power demanding than split unit. My reason for having 1hp window AC for the rooms.

This is so true especially when the local roads/streets are not tarred. To minimize this trees should be planted and flowers with minimal concrete/interlocking the compound. A grass lawn will help a lot. Incidentally, the greens will also reduce heat.

Hmmm.
Baba Egun, you may consider giving us a try at this end o.
I'm also a young blood here.

The tree part is 100% true but the house owner should be ready to deal with reptiles regularly.

Yea. Placement is paramount but the amount of 'air and natural light' is also dependent on the size of the windows /doors.

No worries. I still give jobs out because I can’t do it all myself. It’s just tiring to have to babysit a grownup that markets himself as a professional.

A high percentage of my clients are NairaLanders but are confidential. When the area is ready and they’re are ready I’m sure they’ll reach out.

In the meantime I think the savvy architect should show plans that’ll fit on a 50 X 100 feet plot. A two bedroom in the back joined to a three bedroom in the front.

A modern design that’ll appeal to people abroad and one of good quality but can be built at a reasonable cost and must come with a build estimate from a quantity surveyor.

Folks!!

I need a recommendation on borehole drilling.

The results of the geophysical survey recommend 80m with an overburden of 50m.

I have contacted few companies in Ibadan including the one used by @diordaves but they cannot do it because of the overburden.

Location is Mowe.

Don't worry I will do my.......................

You won’t find a blade of grass on my property. I’m done with two decades of growing and then mowing lawn in California. My friends in Arizona and Nevada don’t have grass and that’s the style I’m copying here.

I have about a quarter of my land simply covered with granite so water can seep back into the ground there.

I have useful fruit trees to do the air exchange.

As for dust, it’s par for the course. I have dust in Los Angeles too

diordaves:


Shey you know say you done retire? You need physical movements to stay fit and healthy. You better continue mowing and take up gardening and possible home farming. Lawn mowing will make you strong kokoroko.

I am typically out in the villages scouting for lands. I ride at least 150 miles a week on my sports bike and in the ozza room is someone 23 years my junior.

I think I'm good
