Am Alone:

@prince I typed so much word with grief anger and lots of agitation
I jus ctrl a the whole rubbish and tap the delete button
I will say again ppl wey dey criticize me over something are also
Guilty of it because they too are praticing it. Hypocrisy
But unlike them, even from my criticisms ppl dey learm but their
Is just so baseless, seeking vain attention.
'3 ppl t' - jus like u to lead us small too
And those wey done stone moi, lead us toosince I can't do it so well
Make moi just take a smaill break

And as the arabian saying; I fold my tent and silently fade away,

You taking a break all because there was a little misunderstanding between yourself and the other gentleman would not solve anything . . . . and if you were really here to shed lights into building homes in Nigeria and educating the people, then that purpose is defeated with your break, and all the good advice you have given are all a waste.

Remember a new home or project is born daily in Nigeria and you fading off for a while could lead to mistake for some . . . . . .
The gentleman was only saying his own and we all state our mind in different ways, but as adults, we need to learn to just take care of situations and not allow situations to take care of us.

Hope you would have a change of mind and stay around to advice as you have been doing.

@ Spyder880,

Your email still has not found its way to my inbox yet.
I have received two from Nairaland and one from a
nairaland spammer since I made the request to you.
So there is no problem receiving at my end.

I think the smart thing to do is make your contact
information available on the thread. You won't believe
how much business you will get from this.

But make you no forget say na mi bi first o!

Sly.


@ sly, my e-mail adress is ckenneths at yahoo dot co dot uk

@ all, my decking works is almost complete, am with them at the site now, the boys are working like fire! They are making me promise to take them to a nearby shop and buy enough drinks to float a ship on! I will post pictures of the completed deck later today. Bye for now.

@ am alone, haba bros you never show face? No vex like that o!
We are here to educate our people while getting feedbacks on how to do things better. Please disregard any opinion that will make you change your mind about educating all of us on some luxury aspects of finishings in buildings. We need you here abeg, show face na! Nigerians will be better for it, just consider it as a sacrifice you have to make to get this country to the next stage.

**I don't know how you may see it
   but what I know for sure is that,
          Don't show us/me our/my mistake(s)
        without rendering a solution.

**And I want to say; No knowledge is
a waste. One thing I try to do in this
thread is to share the/my ups and downs
of my building experience. I have seen a building
that has being built to decking level, and because
of poor engineering, the whole pillars(27) was taken
down and re-built. All this began when I came here to
share the downs of my building/roofing experience.

I am not here to gain any attention(I want people to know
the truth of everything. See it as it is. To me, every single
information matters), I am not advertising anything,
I am not a builder nor an engineer, I am not selling anything as well. I am just doing this for the fun
and so as to share some experience with others and get some
good advice if possible. That is why I try to stay honest like tattoo!
NOBODY and I repeat eN-O-BODY can ruin moi down!
If what I am doing can't serve the purpose that I am doing it for
I think it did be best I change my parole!!!!


Less I forgot. . . .

About 215 pcs of 12mm and 23pcs of 16mm for the extended corners, some 10mm were used as tie beam in some places, about 10 or 12pcs. I hope to give the breakdown of this decking soon, also, I will still update us on the expenses.

But the fence is very smooth and worth all the time spent waiting for completion. Because my carpenter is an expert, I allowed him do my decking alone for nearly a month. Allow the man to take his time but get a perfect finish.
But, I remember doing a fence and mounting a gate in 4 days, though the quality of the fence is not all that perfect.
day 1 - digging the foundation and blinding the foundation
day 2 - laying the blocks till 6 layers all round the fence
day 3 - completing the fence to 11 or 12 blocks
day 4 - mounting the gate and locking the compound grin

Yes, only that I did not allow him to use too much
labour. But kosi wahala sha

I want to say I have gotten my final quotation for my aluminum window(tower aluminum)
And net total is 321,00p(with net)
All casement
4 by 4 = 23,500 x 10 = 235,000
4 by 5 = 28,000 x 2 = 56,000
2 by 2 = 10,000 x 3 = 30,000
total: 321,000.00

Note the best quotation I got for this aluminum window was
around 456,000 or so. They try to inflate the price by saying
"cost of transportation" and "installation charges"

What I noticed from this guy's quotation is that
he didn't apply all the above mentioned charges
so guys, beware!!!!

astasteve, please do not be offended.
It escaped my mind oo!
I will advice that you wait for me to buy the doors
at the end of this month first. Though it may be
before. Because like I said earlier, I will be buying
it from 2 to 3 different places. This will kind of
cost me more cast in term of transportation, but I think I can
handle it. The first place, I will be buying all the rooms doors,
the second place I will be buying the kitchen, store, and lobby door
and the last place, I will be buying the entrance door from.

Also, I have a new company I got in contact with and their price is really
attractive :O I plant to visit there tomorrow.
I will give you some updates sha. expecially if the doors they are selling are very okay
for the prices
Peace!
