Good day beautiful people. Please advise me on this. I called two different painters to get me their quotes for painting my building. One said I can use matt on it though not screeded. The other said "matt won't come out good on the walls because it wasn't screeded" a b d he emphasized on me using text cote instead of matt .please who amongst them is being honest? I don't want to mess up things by making the wrong decision. Please my beautiful people advise me and I need to start the painting by Monday. |

My sincere apologies to the forum users. I’m a relatively peaceful person but if you go beyond your bound, I’d reduce you to your levels. I don’t have time for attention seekers. Please kindly forgive me for my behavior this afternoon. It’s one of those things that happen in moment of temporary madness. ______ My tiles adhesive are here on site. I’d pick up some tiles to carry out series of test that’ll be shared here and on kobocity.com for education and learning purposes. Please feel free to join us in this intellectual session. 1 Like

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 2:07pm On Apr 09, 2021 |
erico2k2: +/- N2,000 depending on your location. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by erico2k2(m): 2:09pm On Apr 09, 2021 |
BrabusNG:so you are saying its +/-N1k for 10 so N5k for 50kg, almost same as Dangote cement and we wont need sand |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 2:16pm On Apr 09, 2021 |
erico2k2: A bag is 20kg and it’s sold N2,000. A 20kg bag of tiles adhesive according to the *manufacturer will cover 5sqm and you won’t need sand. A 50kg bag of OPC according to the *manufacturer will cover 4 - 5sqm and you I’ll still need sand. _______ *manufacturer - Lafarge |

This is something you’d also find interesting. There’s specification for notch trowel usage. Ask any tiler out there, what size of trowel is he using, he’d just tell you “Oga, that one no mean. I go put cement well well.” _____ Pic 1 - Notch Trowel Guideline Pic 2 - Picture of 1/2in notch trowel

BrabusNG: ![]() I've used similar products extensively. It will work and work well as long as the surface is prepared. To be clear I prefer either method. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 2:31pm On Apr 09, 2021 |
#tilesadhesive1 As you’re ordering your tiles, you must also consider the trowel size to use as per manufacturers recommendation. |

Good Afternoon Everyone! Some insight on Wooden Floor. The choice of flooring is one of the most basic yet important decisions a homeowner has to make when Building a home/undertaking a renovation, as it underpins everything else. While there are plenty of different options, from carpet , , tiles to terrazzo (Oga Diordaves would prefer terrazzo ![]() Pros one major Advantage is that it can be refinished many times over the course of its lifespan Quality that is ageless. Good Maintenance Plan Cons It's Expensive, it's Susceptible to termite Attack. Avoid too much water contact. Engineered wooden Floor : the difference from RWF. is that EWF is constructed on both layers of solid wood & plywood/HDF. Engineered wood features a thin veneer top layer of solid wood. The natural top layer makes engineered wood just as durable as traditional hardwood and provides the same classic, timeless look. Then there’s the core of the plank, typically made from layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF). Pros •It's Stylish. •It's Moisture Resistance than Real Wood •Greater Stability Cons •Susceptible to Dent & Scratches •Expensive •can fade if exposed to Sun or UV light ||| Vinyl Flooring (LVT , LVP, SPC ,SVP) As we Already Know Vinyl is printed with the pattern & color of a Wood/stone (Which has a similar look like the Modern Real wooden Floor) Pros •Unlike the RWF & EWF it's 100% Water Resistance •Cost Effective & Durable •Scratch & Dent Resistance (better than EWF) •Pet friendly ( A friend of mine would like this but he doesn't own a Pet ![]() •Very simple As "ABC" Maintenance • Cons •Can be Punctured by Sharp Objects •Shorter lifespan than wood floors (RWF & EWF) •Difficult to remove, especially if adhesive is used during installation. ||| Laminate Flooring As we all know this is an Artificial Printed Wooden Floor Design. Pros •its Beautiful •its scratch resistant (PS: laminate is not more Scratch Resistance than Vinyl) •its durable •Easier installation (Encourages D-I-Y) •its Moisture Resistance Cons •its not 100% water Resistant like Vinyl •Can't be Refinished like the RWF RWF VS EWF VS VINYL VS LAMINATE I would recommend Laminate flooring or Vinyl to My Clients tho. Well According to Diordaves “Some like it in the Pot three days old” ![]() *°•HTF•°* 3 Likes 1 Share |

JWTheocracy1:You may use matte but you should prime the wall before painting so it can come out better. You may use textured paint also but it's not in vogue again and you would have to screed over it if you decide to change it in future. It's more costly screeding textured surface. |

BrabusNG: I think you have the right to get annoyed after all the provocations, feel free to walk up to his house and dish out three different types of slaps to whoever you meet at his house, what rubbish! And for all of you who thinks that brabus must kneel on all fours and cower each time anyone decides to bark, just because they gave him one measly wretched job or the other, you should all hide your faces in shame. Do you know what he suffered to build that project? Do you know how rich brabus was before he started helping your lives because he wants to give you a shelter over your head? @ 3strikes and QC1, don't cone back here to wail your life away again! Go and make some real money before coming here to lament about your life's misfortune. My last warning to you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Old and new defenders / apologists / supporters, take your energy and do something worthy with it. If you think your rants will stop me from creating awareness on this off topic thread, think again. Scammers can post here at will, it’s Mmotimo that’s your problem. Instead of foaming at the mouth, I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is. Contract brabus/ n3xt/ brabusng / kobocity / nexthome for your multi million naira builds. Make your noise count. Until then . . . . . . 8 Likes |

Look at how egunmogaji ignored someone up there. D guy no gree talk again And he was trying to drag egun into a nairaland war lol. People are seeing your works here. I admire your builds and I love the fact that you are willing to explore I am tired of just normal builds in Nigeria And i love when people just wanna do things extra ordinary.
