I like that idea of being "indestructible" if one is unlucky to have some crazy tenants....


And if they damage it it's easily repaired. Either grind it down or float a new coat and reseal.

I thought it was only me who was looking in that direction, I asked a friend who is into real estate in Abuja, he shook his head and said NO. Maybe because of how I described it, it sounded barbaric but the point is that is it indestructible by the usual suspects, water, hot pots, lack of maintenance etc.

One of my prayers is to run into artisans with open minds. There's a lot of solutions that are at hand but because Nigerians are not used to it they will poopoo it.

I think i may have found what I think looks like a concrete kitchen worktop.
See the post https://www.nairaland.com/2386637/let-new-house-most-posh

Notice the kitchen worktop, it has tiles on it. I think one can make it look better by for example placing granite\marble on it. That wouldn't have all the tiling and grouting effect that standard tiling comes with.

That looks more like granite top . . . . close looking at it looks like the grout you see is from the image reflecting on the countertop from the wall's tile . . . I stand to be corrected though

I hope this kind of paints won't be a race track for lizards and rats just like sandtex paint
I get lizards on my walls all the time you don't keep the door open at all

I hate those things (lizards and geckos). I am very much concerned about them when I chose outside paints..
I am sure screeding the external wall will stop them... they may not be able to climb it because of its smoothness...

Predators. Attracting predatory birds to repell lizard. At least, lizards will stop showing themselves when they knew hungry and angry birds are around.

It's biology!

So you will bring the birds too into you living rooms? because some of those things are inside the house . . . . The one outside could be dealt with, how about inside?

Especially when they know there is always dinner at your house and once all dinner is done and no more served, they will turn to something else.

Confirm.

My ploy is to have planter all around my foundation for two purposes.

1) select native plants that are repulsive to animals or at least go towards hiding whatever electronic scheme I come up with to deter all crawlers and

2) plants that are water hungry and will soak up any water near the foundation.

This is my thought from sitting here in my air conditioned office in California. As with some things my reality while on the ground might change grin

Absolutely on point.

The key for me will be attracting specific aviators. It will be bad if one attracts Igunugu shocked
