This life no balance. Yesterday was wife’s birthday and she insisted I buy her this balmain handbag of $4000. Money that is enough a build a small kobo kobo bungalow.

Don’t worry about me, if I get stuck, there are consultants here I could always reach out to for kobo kobo ideas.
Or some contractors here can use their money and complete it for me.

I have been on Nairaland for some time now and have never won a single argument. I know it’s nothing to be proud of, but what’s the gain in extending this one.
It’s never going to be any different[

The gains? I think @michlins got the message already hence the message below:

michlins:
Good evening everyone. Hope your day is as good as mine.

I want to thank you all for helping me grow cause Nairaland has been a good avenue to grow and improve on my works. From the experience of many people here and their constructive criticism. I appreciate it all.

Eyinne I thank you for giving me the opportunity to work for you and trust me I didn't mean to do a job you wouldn't like knowing well you spent your hard earned money paying for it. The experience from this job is that moving forward, I will show in great details what I intend to do for any prospective client.

Thank y'all and stay safe

The goal is never to win an argument or gather likes but to perpetuate the discussion until someone somewhere get the lessons and do what’s right.

That’s my job!

I wish we had access to stuff like iKea in Nigeria.

I did a kitchen remodel in SoCal. Using iKeas free design services all I had to do was provide measurements of the room and show location of openings. They’ll recommend cabinets and features.

We still have quite a way to go here. But we’re getting there.

I agree.

However, before the web, we’ve had to rely on these materials for inspiration and ideas on our projects. Those material are referenced to take care of the guessworks in the DIY market.

It is the old school DIY hobbyists like me guidebook with an eternal battery life. grin grin

I’ve personally found them to be immensely useful.

Even when I flick through the windows brochure I get paint scheme ideas. A win win.

Works for me alongside Pinterest. But then I’m the one that draws in SketchUp so I can visualize my spaces. Not all of us can walk and chew gum at the same time cool

They project design consultant did the kitchen design. All I did was to send him the as-built plan of the kitchen.

The guys too care of the worries.

We’re trying but the major issue is we hardly document ideas that work and solutions.

If you neeed them, I will check my mail by the end of the day and see how many I have in there today. Each time I check my mailbox, I see at least 10 different copies of those. They all go in the trash.
If keeping them would make me rich too, then I don’t have to trash anymore.

By the way I found a place at Iwo Road, MacFoster. If you’re in the area it’s worth a look see.

If you are from the Ehime part of Mbano with close proximity to Ahiazu Mbaise, you can get cement at Afor Oru.
For Isiala Mbano, the likely places you could get is Eke ezeala, Anara station, Amaraku, unfortunately the people selling there usually hike their prices cos they know you can't get it elsewhere without paying for transportation.

Those places in Isiala you mentioned are selling for 3500 excluding transport. I'll rather do the maths and buy from Owerri in bulk. Thank you.

I thought you’ve promised to send them to me free of charge and with a little tip for helping you to dispose them properly.

Why the last paragraph?

What is a 12 x12 room in sq M: 19.5 sqm
What is 11 x11 room in sq M: 18 sqm
What is 10 x 10 room in sq M: 16.5 sqm

I based the height on 2.7 m.
I understand your measurements are in feet.

This is not correct please!
12x12 feet is 3.6m X 3.6m = 12.96sqm
11 x 11 feet is 3.3m X 3.3m = 10.80sqm
10 x 10 feet is 3m X 3m = 9sqm

I salute the legends in the house. If you need to optimize your design or in need of standard structural drawings, kindly call us.

If you feel your working drawings are currently over design, call us for optimization. We may only agree on sharing ratio for any cost savings.

* Detail formwork drawings in Revit
* Structural design with staadpro
* Structural detailing with soficad
* Precise bar bending schedule
* Direct extract of material take-off from Revit.
* We can give you your material quantities for your carcass. You don't need a QS.
* All structural designs and drawing are to latest euro codes (many engineers are still in the ages of BS codes)
* And above all, you are getting a standard Julius Berger kind of structural details.

Don’t worry. You will get a surprise package, just create enough room. A power bike might even be thrown in the mix.A decent one from the auction should be just $300 at most.

Good morning my people, these pictures are meant to stimulate the interest of people at the finish stages of their buildings where they might be needing tiles or doors. I was in Onitsha yesterday and as usual, stumbled upon these tiles selections as I was searching for the best choices for my various clients.

I dont sell tiles or doors in anyway, you can consult our in house tiles and door dealers to get the prices of some of these items in your own locations.

If I don't come in peace, wetin I gain? cheesy

He’s the only place I’ve seen this patio door and had I known this was available I would have used two on my build.

Bought my front door and kitchen sink from him.
