Chioma1989: The “boko haram” tiles that I used in the living areas are okay so far. I’m completely disappointed in the ones in the bathrooms. I’ll find savings in another way so I can use imported tiles in at least pertinent areas. 2 Likes |

SolarConsultant:IN CONTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS POST Building Roof for Solar (beware of Shades) Following the previous post on Best Practices for Building Roof for Solar in Nigeria, which we discussed extensively on “Orientation”, another is the effect of shade, please take your time to follow closely. The solar array which is the group of solar panels are always expected to be unshaded on all the part of the system. The power is generated when there is an incident amount of light on cells of the solar panels, and this light is converted by the cells into an electrical current ( Direct current(dc) ) then to the solar charge controller which in turn charges the battery or is sent to power the electrical appliances. In layman terms I will do well to explain why shading can paralyze or reduce the efficiency of the whole system to 20% or lower; imagine in a tug of war sport, lets say the guys on the left are solar panels and on or two of them fell (shaded), you’ll observe that the they wont be able to pull as much again and efficiency would really fall and more energy is lost. Ensure there are no shadings casted on your roof either by another building or trees blocking the incidence of sunlight on your roof and if that is inevitable you may need to find another location, to build a construction in order to get the best from sun light. please you can learn more on orientation. In the subsequent post you will get to know about other considerations before building your roof such as Pitch, Material, Age, Size of solar roof.

For those that work for their money: The atrocities of N3xt / brabus / kobocity / brabusng would fill a book, there is so much material in this section under different usernames, it’s not even funny. For those that want to wait till we have a brand new 2021 victim testimony, please give him money to build for you so that you can be his testimony. It’s a brand new decade, maybe he has changed even if his habit of deflecting and passing the buck is still very much evident. More than 10 customers with complaints yet he’s an innocent man, they are the ones with something wrong with them. Here’s a tip - a person who broke shames his clients, the people who make it possible for him to earn a living; that person is a crook. If you don’t actually work for money, you can’t help disrespecting those that do. It is typical behaviour with fraudsters. Like I already said, the apologists / alternate IDs / defenders / fraudulent associates are always here to distract and detract. Keep your eyes on the ball, wait for the confirmation that all those victims lied and only wanted to tarnish the image of an innocent man. That is the real answer, not rants and vents by folks with ulterior motives. Yes o! Maintaining him as a resource for internet information when you don’t want to pay actual professionals is an ulterior motive. Trying to subvert the truth so that others won’t know what you now know is shameful. Some of us are still old fashioned, we try to look out for our neighbour. Try it sometime, it comes with it’s own blessings 11 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Sir, Is the color and its appearance of the tiles still good after years of usage? I heard some usually fade off and washes off after years. |

Chioma1989: The colors washed off in the bathrooms only. The living areas are as good as new. |

sgtkole: Is like you guys don't know that Naira has been devalued (albeit codedly). No importer gets dollar for less than $480 anymore. A few months back people who knew people were still able to get at "official rate" (#390 -#420). But now there apex body has allowed the banks to do what they call flexible exchange policy. So banks can now sell at almost the same price as the parallel market. As an illustration, if importers were spending #3900 before to get one Iron rod before, now they spend #4800 to get the same Iron rod. |

tonididdy: Hello, to hold against something means to show ability to withstand adverse effects of that thing. That was what I meant. Whether the tiles can withstand too much exposure to water. 1 Like |
