Hello can anyone tell me if one can get architraves for 9 inches Blocks in Naija and like how much they are going for either metal or wooden?

Architrave is the mould frame around a doorway or window. It has nothing to do with block size. Or do you mean something else?

When you buy doors, they come with frames; just tell the seller if its is 6 or 9 inches frame.
Then the carpenter install sub-frames in case of wooden doors and carpenter form the architraves on it.
Make sure you get good carpenter because some of them can't install it.

They sell this fired clay bricks including one for decking. They are not cheap starting from N750 per brick.

Lucky you. Is that Ibadan pricing? Got this in Lagos today.

the 1 x 12 x 12 depend on what you want to use it for.

for form work to lintel, columns, beams or slab ( decking), you may need soft white wood.
we have hand saw colloquially known as "apu" or "araba" which goes for N900 (minimum) to N1000 (maximum)
we have soft wood machine saw which goes for N1,200 to N1400

We also have semi hardwood used for furniture or for more permanent work like iroko, mahogany, malaina etc. These wood cost from a minimum of N1,800 to around N3000 per length

Infact, 'wireless' is safer than wired.

Lastpage!


My angle is based on personal calculations done with assumptions gathered over the years growing up around career hackers.

For a wired connection you have to first be marked (identified as being worth the effort) plus need a knowledgeable person in close proximity for the breach.

For a wireless connection you just need to be marked. The collabo spans continents. They will eventually have enough resources to track all your family until they find a vulnerability whether through games and porn for boys, music videos and social media for girls etc.
Remember if you have a wireless system you would want mobility and not limiting urself to a dedicated workstation plus ur spouse will want in on the fun.

For me its about probability statistics. It's easier to monitor domestic staff than to censor family net activity.

These are all personal opinions. YMMV

Uchekinze is a major merchant for these items you require. The place is 2 minutes drive from idi ape. Coming via Agodi, secretariat, or if you drive down via challenge on the expressway; just ask for Arisekola's mosque in Iwo road or testing ground police station. Anyone will point Uchekinze to you from there.
