Ndyoo: They might be right. We bought 30 tons from Okigwe for #320k last 6 months. Distance from the quarry to your site would determine price. Moreover diesel is expensive now. |

EgunMogaji2: Go to school, they will not. Use YouTube, they will not. The painter with over 7million views on YouTube that I posted a while ago said, you need to remove the switches. But if you don't want to remove the switches, why not use tape? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBa5OvhwCjE&t=1s Those tapes cost about N500.00 each, which client cannot afford it? Point is, some if not most don't pay attention to detail. I have spent tens of thousands of naira on masking tape because I want a perfect finish and because I am using 2 colors. I had arguments with painters because they wanted to create perfect lines without the tapes and I said it is not possible, they said it will mean double work, I said that is what I want, a straight line and a perfect finish. Initially I used Abro masking tape, but I had to switch to a better tape made by Tesa 8 Likes 1 Share

Matters arising. The house I use for my office activities on the mainland got into an issue with PHCN. I use the ground flat while and the house of 6 apartments was given 3 meters by PHCN, so 4 apartments were connected to just one meter. As I was told, the installer entered an agreement with the late landlady last year to help 'shed' loads on the joint meter by connecting the pumping machine and one AC direct to light. PHCN guys came around and disconnected the whole building on Monday. The landlady is now late (Died 2nd of January). Came around today to reconnect the other 2 meters, leaving the one with the infraction disconnected. The landlady's son (lives elsewhere) has now been given an invitation letter to their office. We were told we are to pay ₦51,500 for bypassing and a soon to be determined amount for "loss of revenue". The son in law of the late landlady was able to get the details of the installer including his picture. Is it possible that the penalty gets waived or reduced if the installer is produced? One of the officials previously said if he's produced, the house goes free, but it seems they have changed mouth. Just asking to know if this is possible. Funny enough, the wire used for the bypass not even hidden but since we didn't suspect anything, no one put heart to it. |

May you be treated in your job or business and all your life endeavors the way this client treated the contractor (Rotecch77). May you be treat in your project, relationship career, and all your life endeavors the way this contractor treated this client ( ralpa....) You, I mean you reading this post and choosing the evil side. You can deny being neutral in the face of men but not with God. Go, let your conscience judge you! 1 Like 1 Share |

n3xt:@n3xt That's an awesome makeover made to the buiding. I love the evergreen, classic look of the bricks on the building. Second, are the bricks used real burnt bricks or synthetic? A lot of gentrification is truly needed in specific neighbourhoods in Lagos (like you have done here) and indeed Nigeria. All the best. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I am currently in need of building materials and accessories vendors for a real estate project. Please refer vendors within Lagos who have the capacity and capability for large projects and who can be very competitive with prices. My DM is open. #realestate #project #building #projects #procurement #purchase #vendors . You can as well drop your email addresses so I can mail you directly with more details and information. Electricals, building materials, finishings, roofing sheets, POP, cement, etc. you can as well send an email to procurement_realestate@outlook.com We will prefer dealing with registered businesses but individuals with track records can as well show interest. |

somehow: energy theft is a serious matter ...even in nigeria..if the case is escalated. you could even spend some time in jail.try and settle with the phcn people. providing the electrician who did the bypass, will not solve the matter/nor remove you guys from being liable. you can however contact him offline and let him contribute towards paying for the damages to phcn |

AlphaTaikun: A very productive way to spend quality time away from chaos. The simple request of the owners of this project was to transform the old church building to a physical marker and a focal point for worship in the ancient Oshodi, Lagos. @Blessedsunny2 supplied the bricks. Colour: Burnt Jasper Installer: Recommended by Blessedsunny2
They’re real burnt South African bricks. See pic 2 below.
Thanks for the compliment. You inspire us to do more. Many thanks to the chairman who was rooting for us in the boardroom saying “Brabus will deliver this!” I’m glad we did this. Oshodi To The World!!! 2 Likes 2 Shares

Adedward: Now, I am really pissed off! U called and begged me but u come here and talk? Do u want me to even post pictures of your work? The fact that someone got injured at my site is not my issue, do you know what I went through before I earned that money? Do u know if I was injured in the process? I didn’t say anything more since yesterday, u are crying for 40k, maybe u forgot how much I paid u in the past for the roof that leaked several times how much I paid for windows with imported materials instead of the Tower brand I paid for! If I were u, I will stop now! Or I will begin to post pictures of your work and let’s see who will help u pay then! Or who would have accepted the mess I accepted with u!!! 10 Likes |

Order is vital than speed. Many are rushing nowhere fast. Paint then neatly install your fittings. Then retouch if necessary. Simple. It doesn’t matter whether the project is in Sugarcane (Ìrèké) Island or Garri Valley, good taste is good taste. >> From NextHome’s budget build done in 2015.

somehow: Hello, why waste time and effort responding to a verified 'thief'? He CAN'T and WILL NEVER refund you a dime, not even his cohorts 'drooling' and saying there is a 'flow in discussion'. If anyone here believes he is anything less than a thief, then the person should as well pay part of the money on his behalf, after all he has paid for others from stolen funds to decieve the gullible. Imagine!, so petty to as low as a submersible pump!..wetin?! Indeed some people are 'cursed'. 5 Likes 1 Share |
