brabus: Thanks. I'm proud of my crew and what we accomplished. We're ahead of schedule and below budget. Automation is not a replacement for getting the job done. Like I said before, I'm not importing equipment to store in an unfenced lot. Moving on. |

brabus: Nice but I'm building one small bungalow and I only need to impress myself and so far mission accomplished. I'm good. |

EgunMogaji: Don't mind us your friends The most important thing is that the job is done. Every other thing na jara. I am building a house in Abuja now, Abuja of all places and I am getting to learn a whole new set of methods different from what we are used to down south. In the end, the most important thing is that the job gets done and done very well. |

spyder880: Na true talk o my brother, this no be my first rodeo. For all things that can go wrong, if na only unremoved vegetation and hand mixed material is the issue then my crew and I have been successful. I'm not building this for a client but for me and my el familia and we're happy and we thank god |

KolaShangOne: If you're s professional builder and you're threatened by couple of guys who shows an alternative to building methods then you're doing your clients a disfavor. Stop jacking yourself of with one sand truck and a mixer and get on board with getting proper equipments. We're not professional builders, you are my friend. So when's lunch? Anyplace anytime in Ibadan. I'll even pay if you bring The Engineer along 1 Like |

Beulah09:thanks a million but would you consider that a good investment when compared to other options? especially if you're igbo and the plot is in the north. |

skimanski: I've seen some of your projects and they're not different from those in the US. We're doing ourselves a disfavor when professional builders make excuses. I'm not s pro but just a guy building his own private house. On at least one of your build I did not see a single bamboo but you supposed the elevated decking with adjustable steel poles. It doesn't have to be the latest Caterpilar product but just need to be application of appropriate modern technology. My build will be fine, I'm rewarded with a builder that is willing to consider alternatives and not stoic, to me that's worth it's weight in gold. |

EgunMogaji: Oga EgunMogaji.. Even though we are not Julius Berger yet, I am a professional and we run a standardized company which has been vetted by TETFUND, UBEC and other Federal government agencies. That said, you want us to acquire these expensive equipments, who will we use it to work for if alternative un-mechanized systems are preferred by a big man like you. Just 2 weeks ago, all the debate was on doing things differently. I'm expressing the same view as NL1960, skimanski, Abdulwastecx, Spyder880 and others because we looked forward to seeing a different way of doing things. I'm offering constructive criticism, sometimes banter and not condemning. I lost your number with my stolen phone, if not I would have msgd you and we would have had a tete-à-tete.. Im still hoping for my $1000 from the block carrying bet 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: You mean you are yet to collect this $1000 bet from him when i was about to ask you for my 10% supporter fees. Better collect it before he uses it to pay omo nile since it seems his Texas bazookas are not working to deter them. I saw that he used padlock for the gate. I was expecting to see 'something' that makes people to start sweeping when they come near hanging on the gate. 3 Likes |

KolaShangOne: My oga you wan wound pessin with all these certifications? All I'm saying is to not look at me, a small fry building a small bungalow, to lead the industry. It's you with all your accreditations that should be doing that. My argument that I don't accept any excuse from you a professional builder shouldn't turn the tables for you to ask me to go the modernized work. Stop making excuses and get equipment to match your certifications. Those certificates means something to someone but not me though but they're great to hang in the receptionist area. You should be congratulating me for project managing from the US and 5 days after I landed I have padlock on a damn good fence/gate, blinding and foundation walls half completed 0807 622 7659 PS: I'm still waiting for you and The Engineer to show up for record keeping. |

EgunMogaji: You did a very good job with project management I must confess. Scheduling your time and resources to meet up a target. And you are not a small fry ooo.. change can start from anywhere.. You got me addicted to Nairaland really and I'm loving it. That's one thing I will always remember you for and the tongue-lashing you always dish out. One big happy family we all are. 1 Like |

abouzaid: Excellent. I personally think that they are nice feature and put my money behind the opinion. The plan that I bought and modified was designed for Mexico and the model home built in South Texas. The only issue with internal courtyards is that they tend to use a lot of land. 16 feet of the 50 feet width of the house went to the courtyard. Looking forward to seeing your designs. |

brabus: An astute observation. The 6" is an old fence that he built to separate the plots and that we adandoned. We're leaving it in situ to help towards holding the slope. I'm okay with it as long as it won't be in the way of the plumbing pipes. |
