Busy is an understatement. More an assault on the senses IMO.

Minimalism as a concept in interior decorations has much to be recommended. Neutral colors, thoughtful living spaces etc.

You get a sense of calmness as well, if your brain is not constantly but subliminally overworked with the ever present visual stimulation.

And, if you really want to go bohemian on a whim, do it with something easily removed/replaced (like a rug or painting). Perhaps not something permanently etched like these examples.

Horses for courses though.

While you have a good point, but every one has their own taste!

Interior design is the art & science of understanding people's behaviour to create functional spaces.

Dear Ogas,

I am caught in between painting and tiling the frontage of my build. I have seen half tiles and half painting and also full tiles /full paints.

Please advise, I wish to follow the current trend.

Thanks

Wahala dey o.

So how much is the tile per sqm that was said to be too expensive, so we should look at brutalist industrial concrete floor as an option?

People save up and look for nice tiles and tile your home. Tiles are the crowning glory if you pick wisely. How will I spend 30 million to build a duplex or bungalow, come put interlocking floor for inside parlour and even kitchen. Which kind tight-hand be that? Tiling na the last mile. Close eye and finish strong. It is what it is. You are going to spend millions any which way, so why finish shabbily if care is not taken.

That's why i quoted "(Luxury stuff)"

For your peace of mind, give me your jobs.


Relax and let your money work for you. You can't be paying me and still be calling on phone to know the pace of your jobs

Do I really need a 12mm rod for fence coping? Am struggling to understand why am told is needed just to mount a barb wire..

hamtabfawaz:



Yeah

That 3d used doesn't go well with me, the house no bẹ aquarium or aqua related na.
Don't you think it will be scary to children?

diordaves:


Yes. The guys at IITA planted the trees in about 1.5meters interval in a straight line just like you would with a block fence. And it worked. As the trees mature, the demarcation and sense of presence was so pronounced that one can't make the mistake of encroachment. And to be honest, the trees added more value to the land than the stolen wire fence.

Cool. Super fantastic. And at the end one can sell off the trees to lumber men.

Good day great people,
Your girl needs your help again oh. Please what colour of chair will be good for the attached wall colour? Please some should help.

Very greatful to God so far and also thanking you all.

I will advise painting of walls at all times. Very easy to change wen the appearance becomes boring.
If you had introduced different elements to the approach view the look will be fantastic when the colours are combined.
Tiles too can be used for little finishes like column's(pillar) base.

12mm is too much for such. Go for 10/8mm.
Some do use quarter rods too.

Use bricks for the front. The South African bricks if you have the money. Natural bricks makes the house look distint. Combine painting some portion of the walls white and some natural bricks not tiles.

Qc1:


Amen. Again and again. May God bless you and your family abundantly. May you never lack. May you never be defrauded with all your life savings by an imposter / incompetent builder in Jesus's name. May you always listen to advice when you are warned of danger and 419, even thought you're trying to give that person a second chance from the goodness of your heart. May Lord God of Isreal always fix whatever problem or troubles you may encounter in your life regardless of the situations and circumstances. May you grow in wisdom and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, for in him be the glory from now and eternity.

He who has ears let him hear, he who has wisdom let him say "Amen".

I deliberately add those pictures below to show that Jesus is Lord and God truly helps when all hope is lost. Praise the Lord!

Amen, amen!
I am humbled by your prayer, I thank you very much.
May the good Lord continue to protect our harvest from the devourer and his agents

Good one. I have seen this somewhere and it looks so good. Budget is tight as its a kobokobo project as Hajj M would say.

What of those Quarry stones, common in Abeokuta? Can it replace the bricks? Or do we have those bricks here at kobokobo cost?

somehow:


Did your husband do that wine chair?

Looks imported. I like the professionalism

Thanks for the compliment, Yes, all the jobs I post are done by him, unedited pictures with his phone.

Hmmm, no, I can't encourage such. Concrete as such needs reinforcement. Remember sir, the edges of the coping will be extending beyond the walls.

Sure. Natural stones and bricks anytime for me. Get those Abeokuta/Ondo stones, break them to different pieces and sizes and get a good baba Lati to finish the work. You would like the natural feel of the building. Note also that those stones are not cheap except if you are residing within the SW states.

If you have access to those stones and they come cheap to you, you may decide to cover a greater percentage of the wall areas with stones. The feel will be everlasting - come rain, come shine, it remaineth the same.

Natural stones and bricks will always make your building to stand out. Whoever passes your street will always take a second look at the building.

pls u people should look at this quote o,cost of wiring minus workmanship of #70,000,is #650,000

The chair should somehow mirror the curtain or blind or even the centre rug and not necessary the paint on the wall. What type or colour of the curtain are you going to use? It is also a determining factor.

However, dark chocolate leather or sued carton can go with this.

I spoke with few Baba Láti and Baba Muideen. My preliminary findings has it that it was these Big stones that were crushed at the quarry site to make granite. Hence, the granite suppliers could also get these stones, and the bricklayers will now break them into suitable sizes for fixing.

I wish I can see pictures of where it was recently done...

Few days ago, my pet project, https://www.kobocity.com, was drawn into disrepute when someone questioned our very existent. While I tried as much as I could to remain calm, I was accused of being the same person as brabus, n3xt and as being a fraud the the same fellow, Mmotimo.

Kobocity was birthed on 29th December, 2020 when someone tried to derail this lovely thread; we went live on 1st January 2021. Here is how it began https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1875#97540059 To this moment, the project is open to all to join. It's a community, we can all be proud of.
(naijapal is an account I, mank1234, created for the purpose of promoting the project). I excused myself from kobocity for few days in preparation for a possible shutdown of the platform.

I can announce that Kobocity will not be shutdown. It won't. The many thank you I have received this far is enough motivation to keep it running. I am motivated by the need to serve; my definition of success aligns with Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of success. I want a platform where everyone is respected, and discussion flows without the usual rancor we experience here.

I did promise to make my position known after I do my own investigation.

Based on the information available in this thread and others I could referenced, I couldn't establish that n3xt defrauded anyone (however, in one instance, he recommended someone who did). In my opinion, his major undoing in most of the cases was accepting to refund the complainants when it's not his fault only to halt the refund.
Pertinent questions for his accusers:
*if you recommend someone to do a work for Mr A and the person fails to deliver, should you be saddled with the responsibility of refunding?
*if Mr A gives you the go ahead to do a job and he later decide he doesn't want it again, will you refund for a job already done?
*as someone posted earlier, which fraudster put all his personal information out there willingly and knowingly?


To n3xt, I don't believe that any contractor is fighting you. The issues you failed to nib in the bud is; It doesn't mean that other contractors don't have issues but probably they've learnt the act of conflict management/resolution. Anyone doing a search of your profile would reach the same conclusion as your accuser if the person doesn't read through correspondences.

It's my last post on this. Note:I won't reply quotes of this.
