Smiles, if anyone wants one, be sure to take all the relevant safety precautions.

I commenter on YouTube said that of all the machines in his workshop, none has given him as much injury as this one.

I got it because I needed to do some concrete polishing, grinding and leveling like this guy in the video below:

Doing something like that in dollars is better, to avoid inflation and having issues with the client All calculations and subsequent payments should be in dollars.

Just my 2 cents !
not really. When you pay, I purchase the amount of materials it can get and store for you. If by your next deposit price changes, I will let you know and next purchase will be based on that

This same model or another one?

Oh great. Safety first.

Have to buy all the protective equipment before using it.

Will very soon update you and that thread on damp treatment.

Long story short: I completely rebuilt the floor of the house. Broke down the walls of the bedrooms and raised them with new stone dust-based blocks. Used M15 cement mortar as plaster amongst other things.

The true test of how successful I have been will be the next rainy season

The issue is with going back and forth with price fluctuations. Not all clients would believe you. And on the other hand, not all vendors would be sincere enough not to come up with artificial price increases.

A perfect scenario with my suggested plan is where price (quote) is set. A delivery date is set, and payments are split in between.
No other negotiations along the way.

Same thing a tile seller told me, I intended buying a large amount of tiles while paying installmentally, he told me the prices changes mostly every week or so, I had to draw back and wait till I'm able to atleast buy a reasonable amount for the time being, can be frustrating. Some of these sellers are not truthful and they use the fluctuating dollar exchange rate as an excuse.

You're right bros. It's also one of the most unguarded and very forgiving. If not, you yourself and those artisans/vendors with past history of mismanaging clients funds should have been investigated, banned and removed from here long ago. But here you are dishing out motivational quotes. Shey you de whine me ni.

In my quotations, I start with dollars but convert them to Naira.

Then add a reasonable margin, then use a future non-existent exchange rate such as (if the black market rate today is $1=N750) then I could use $1=850

But since it is required that I quote in Naira, I submit the quote in Naira.

That way whatever happens to the Naira, I will simply lose some profit but not all.

That has worked for me for years.

In short, I am saying this is a perfect formula to account for the state of our economy.

Ok I get it now. So, you broke his glass and he still compensated you with #20k. I know this is possible to keep the work going.
But you are one lucky vendor.

However, you still have not answered my question. Was there a story of work site injury and hospitalization at the page 2886 (referenced) site?

yes sir, u self have changed the question, moreso it's what u self can do, u was there in ur site or security told u about the iccident, at the end of the job when u want to pay balance to the vendor u willingly add something for them because of wound, dat is just what happened den,
But here u are claiming I ask the client to pay compensation money before job done, IT IS CAPITAL NO SIR thanks
