Compare:

"I think the cost is too high"

vs

"The cost is too high, jor"

The first reflects your opinion/experience leaving room that you may be wrong and even willing to be corrected.

The second shuts down conversation, inviting gbas gbos...

This thread will be more useful if we learn to communicate better, accounting for the impersonal nature of typing stuff online. Most of the recent discourse has resulted in unfortunate generalizations.

Good day all.

Sorry for this unsolicited response.

If you like frameless windows please pursue and don’t let price deter you. Continue your due diligence.

It is so true that a teacher’s reward is in heaven.
While the student had advanced to building mansions and shopping malls for self and clients, the teacher is still stuck and snooping around for ideas on how to build a bungalow.
This life no balance!

Some people just like to shiit where the grasses are taller than them

In other news, in a bid to give premium finish to houses, I've invested in tools as advised severally for business owners by our erudite contributors here.
We can apply primer to smoothen a plaster surface with electric paint spraying machine.
We have electric wall sanders to give smooth finish and we apply premium emulsion, matte and satin with spraying machines to give a very smooth finish that only spraying could give.
Here is a link to the thread with the facebook link to the video demonstration:

Well done boss. Nothing can be compared to automation. Now you can focus more in getting deals instead of on how the work will be done.

TMT post at https://www.kobocity.com/blog/235-top-5-artificial-intelligence-applications-in-construction is closely related.

Someday I'll be able to afford your service.

If I eventually finish this building, i will rest for a long time before thinking of starting another one. The present cost of building material is killing.

You’ll finish by the grace of God and in good health.

This issue of high cost hits almost every sector. My POP crew was complaining about price of beans this morning. The live on site so have to cook.

I started with fire retardant paint production through partnership with foreign companies and they gave me the necessary technical support.
I had formulation for different types of paints and when intercolor was among the very few supplying basecoat which they import then, I was already producing and supplying basecoat.
I met and discussed with some well known paint brands to partner but it didn't work out and when the demand for the fire retardant paint was low, I switched to regular paint since the materials are mostly the same without the active components.
I got some former workers from paint companies to help produce with my formulations and tried local sourcing of materials.
When I started producing satin paint over a decade ago, most of the budget range paint companies don't produce them. Only the big brands and agents importing the american brands. That was how I got to have my satin and eggshell substituted and later replaced with the foreign products by a marketer of the company importing them to her network base.
I produced for N2500 per gallon she later convinced her clients her brand is equally as good at slightly lower price and they have been using it for sometime already. A gallon of behr, benjamin Moore and ralp Lauren they sell was N8000 per gallon then.
I think I could say I was foreign trained and my biochemistry background helped to some extent.
I could still formulate paints with uncommon features in Nigeria market.
I bet you don't get to see wax based water repellant paint in the market.

Bio Digester Toilet system. It's an improved technology in the treatment and management of human waste and wastewater. This system effectively takes away all challenges that are associated with the conventional form of waste management.

Once you have it in place,

✔you no longer call trucks to come evacuate human waste,

✔No odour

✔it doesn't attract flies or crokroaches,

✔just a small space is needed for it,

✔it's eco-friendly

✔and doesn't contaminate the groundwater
