For me, Quality Stonewall Tiles is always a winner any day any time.


=======

Had this installed more than a decade ago. Still looking great.

No maintenance. No polish.

Fact

StemCellTherapi:


I am not the one that fixed it.

And I doubt those that did carried out any survey.

A geophysical survey is very essential. That would have informed you the appropriate spot and other parameters that the site of drilling has.
I did mine in one village called Orilemo along Abeoukuta road. It is very clean.

acorntree:


It's normal, it will surely stopped with time. After a year you won't notice that again. Always allow the water to settle before you start using it for now

I doubt the normalcy in this situation. It's more than a year already.
The one you are talking about is not a one year thing. With a week of constant pumping the water should be clean with no particles.

But the thing is, dishonesty is actually part of the business (If you know, you know).

Property/Construction is nearly equivalent to owning a mint.

So many ways to make a killing without necessarily doing quality work.

Very destructive to discover after the fact that quality work wasn't done.

Very easy to give the appearance of quality work even when substandard work was done.

The time it takes before bad quality workmanship is revealed makes it pretty hard to pin it on the builder.

Let me not get started on the ignorance of Tom, Dick and Harry who may have money to contract a builder but not the knowledge to understand when a rip off is occurring right under his or her nose

I also think that construction/building law is still in its infancy in Nigeria. The kind of watertight construction contracts you can get in the West hasn't yet found its way here.

These factors contribute to making it akin to owning a private mint

The other issue is corruption. If you have to pay 15 to 20% of your contract as egunje, most of your profit is already gone.

And the people shaking you down know this and do not care.

True that.

My list wasn't exhaustive.

I was here two years ago, so I am aware of his antecedents. I even spoke out for him because I thought he deserved a little fair hearing, but dude is hardened.

Is he cursed? I think so!

Why is it that Nigerian blind makers hardly do inside-mounted blinds? Is it because most of your clients actually prefer these outside-mounted ones or you guys just don't offer the alternative as an option?

Firstly the window here has burglary that was mounted outside so such inside mounted blind can not work.

Check out the picture in frame 1 it explains

Yeah I saw that before, but I wasn't referring to just that particular job. Most, if not all you've shared, that I've seen on this forum are outside-mounted if I'm not mistaken. The ones posted by other artisans are mostly outside-mounted as well. Even in real life, the ones I've seen in people's homes are all the same, including the ones in my own home.

MUST GO!!! Available for immediate delivery (one time offer). Can also be changed to another color of choice at an extra charge of 50k.

This colour will fit in very well for sch building

It was actually constructed for a scoop but land grabbers showed him their true colors. He has asked that I dispose.

Nomyth:
Guys,

Between stone tiles and South African bricks, which will you recommend for the exterior walls of a building?

1. No matter the quality of stone tiles it will later fade a bit
2.it will later looks like Old fashion( outdated)
3. Original Uk or SA brick will not fade and the designs will remains as that for many decades.

Check this old brick building finishings , it’s still trending till today.

You can also use real stone tiles ( pics attached

Fact

It’s only a fact when you don’t go and buy those cheap stuffs called Spanish tiles.

I bought Country Clay by STN from Home Depot. It’s different from the Chinese knockoffs.

You might need to check the structural integrity of the whole building first.
Can you build on what you have on ground or do you have to pull it down and start fresh blocks?
This is very important.

Assuming what is on ground is still strong and the only problem, as you stated, is the Arches not having Pillars:
- You can chisel back "half length of the Block" on which those Arches rest on (provide Bamboo/Wooden support for the Arches before doing this so the dont fall down).

- Dig a bit into the Concrete Floor
- Put prepared Column Irons
- Encase the remaining art of the chiseled-back block (with the Column Iron placed across its face, touching the floor and the Arch resting on the top of the iron) on its three remaining sides.

That should provide you with the Column support needed to keep the Arches in place
- Introduce a rich mix of slurry Concrete into it, from the top.
- rebuild the Wall thereafter. You can also chain the Arches to the Lintel, to form a strong surround Structure that hold each other together and in place.
