sonnie10: I contacted a factory, and they gave me pricing but told me I needed someone to interpret the documents they sent me. I am mentioning this because Nigeria is a dumping ground, and some contractors will go for the cheapest material and not the best quality materials, and you will live with the consequences when they are long gone 5 Likes |

Good morning Bosses , I need to screed some parts of my build and I am confused on the process to apply. Someone recommended screeding with POP materials and another one said I should buy screeding paint . Please which of these is the best ? Then , I noticed many people are now using window blinds in place of curtains these days. What are the advantages of window blinds over curtains? |

Greenarrow01: Vex ke? Me way I know neuroscience like the back of my hands. Let me explain but the question first. Why would one be peppered by ordinary pictures and another is happy to see the same pictures? The normal human brain is good at storing information. Once the eyes see any image, that information is permanently stored in a section of the brain. They are left there in the memory. It could be images of anything, house, car, shoes, luxury bags, money etc. Depending on the individual, seeing such images again would trigger the secretion of particular chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters.. Have you ever perceived a perfume and it reminds you of something? That is what these chemicals in the brain do. It could be the chemicals responsible for negative emotions or those responsible for positive emotions. It all depend on how ones genes have been marked. Some people, their genes are marked with hate and sadness while others their genes are marked with joy and happiness. In Nigeria, the negative ones are called generational curse because genes are transferred from parents to offspring., that they are inherited. An individual can also develop this trait on his/her own over time. Like in PTSD. The concept of nature and nurture. However, there is scientific bases for it. It is called gene marker in genomics. Very important facet in genetic coding. For those individuals whose genes are marked for sadness, things that would naturally cause joy will trigger sadness. They can't control it, it is just who they are. It is a mental problem, sometimes leading to obsession or some compulsive disorder. Next time, when you see someone being triggered by pictures, don't be surprised because there is correlation between their state of mind, the picture, and their outburst -being peppered. This is not something to mock anyone about because all they need is help , 5 Likes |

justified007: All I know is that pop cement when it comes into contact with water deteriorates. So I used ordinary cement for my wall screeding. Lots of excellent posts on the issue on this site. To do screeding, you need screeding paint, screeding cement, some form of glue and water. So the issue now is what is your source for the screeding paint, lots of local brands and even the paint majors make screeding paint too, I believe our resident paint maestro also makes screeding paint. What you go for is a matter of budget, taste and preference. I did notice though that with the paint majors, they say their screeding paint is ready to go, once purchased, no need to mix anything. But when I wanted to do my screeding for my chosen brand there was no pail in Abuja so I had to go ahead without them. I will let others answer the rest of your questions. 1 Like 1 Share |

FEGEITOK: fullriver - from a contact mercury - always bought from coscharis though this was like 8 years ago or so. unfortunately it is also quite possible that staff within the companies can also be running scams. batteries do not show signs of physical wear and tear. and they have no serial numbers. so i can just swap out brand new batteries with used batteries and the customer will be none the wiser. 1 Like |

I greet all good and well wishers of this thread and Nairaland as a whole. I have something in mind to shear here which I believed it will be of great help for both clients, build industry professionals,artisans, suppliers etc Let me go straight to the point without waste much of our time. The rate at which some good clients here are treated badly is alarming same applicable to some good build industry professionals , artisan, suppliers etc. Some people will remember when this particular thread was almost gone few years back when some good people here ran away bcs of one reason or the others, I called back most of them then. Now I can see that same thing is about to happen again. Now this is my suggestion. 1– let’s create a well functioning disputes resolution thread to oversee any dispute that concerns construction and services related matters here. This thread will nominate , home owners, elders, young and old minded professionals in construction field, a well biz guru etc to solve any issues that might comes up now or in future so that a good clients, professionals, artisan, sales men and woman will not be drag here without deep verification. Because here a lot of biz to happens which requires good monitoring if am not mistaken If you think nothing concerns you bcs you have not been duped or dragged here without proper investigation then when your own turn comes around it will be like a magic to you. More suggestions are welcome in other to bring sanity to this section of Nairaland and Nairaland as a whole |

How long can your woods stay exposed in harsh weather? Provided the woods are matured woods, the real danger is not that they will lose their strength (they will eventually), it is that they’ll warp so badly that using them on your project will be difficult or impossible.

n3xt: Bros, I made the first comment on that post. I honestly think you do too much in a bid to impress. No one is arguing about wood. It just comes off as taking us for toddlers when you say you rewarded the supplier after seven years for that. It’s just not OK. Please do better. 6 Likes |

@rotecch77, I think it would be nice if we can have a kind of escrow service here. It has been discussed before. If the owner of the forum can key into this, they can make money also and give more credibility to the forum. I suggest contractors and vendors having a certain minimum deposit with the handlers of the forum depending on the sector of building materials and services. We know paint supply ranges from as low as N200k to 2m depending on the type and volume and a security in that range for such sector. Average cost for sanitary wares, tiles and other building materials can be determined and deposited as security to the owner of the forum or a very reliable escrow service provider same way banks have a certain fixed deposit with central bank. Clients can get clearance for any transaction with the vendor after confirming they have active account and amount with them and they get a certain percentage on every successful transaction or repay the client from the deposit if they default. Since supplies or contract could be done in stages, big service providers could have a much reduced deposit relative to the cost of complete project and clients would be getting clearance in stages. It's not difficult to implement but getting a central account that everyone trusts. 2 Likes |
