When anyone ask questions to pros in the house or learn from each other, unless the person has some kind of quanta or existing unresolved case with the person, lets try not to be rude. I think what started the whole thing in my opinion was when Egun started getting rude to some other guy simply for answering his question. The guy doesn't owe Egun anything and didn't have to answer his question, so no need to be rude. Thats my humble opinion. Dieumerci: 5 Likes |

Oga Skimanski, Make u no vex oo If you vex, who will continue to share those beautiful pictures of those houses you are finishing. I like the look of it, and it certainly has the eye of an architect. I hope one day we can work together, cast your magic spell on my flats and just give it a makeover/give it the WOW factor without breaking the bank. I'm a fan of yours oo. skimanski: 1 Like |

Oga mavverick I know the issue between you and Brabus must have really pained you. But please whatever the thing is, let's just let it go. No builder here in nairaland and outside that haven't made mistakes with clients or haven't fallen out with a client in his/her career. When it happens its a way for both client and contractor to learn. Let's just bury the sword and guns and knifes, and move forward. Time is precious. Teach others from your experience and let Brabus teach others from his too. All them my ogas I greet una. May all the people forming enemy and fighting here be friends before the end of this year. Amen!!!!! May all our experience with each other teach us the way forward in our future endeavors with each other and also with other strangers we might come across. Amen!!!! Class don close for today. Every body to sch canteen for alomo and groundnut. After that combination Na una come know Wetin una wan use am do when una reach house. 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji: Don't mind that guy o! He's a teaser. He knew where to get what he's looking for. The best approach for a window shutter is to order abroad and ship down here. You'll get some crazy "dollar don rise" bills here. We automate with cheap garage door opener. There's a big market for these in SA. Cheaper by the dozen. Skimanski, nice one! 1 Like |

Oga Skimanski, Like i have said to BOSUN SHOYOYE over a thousand times, all the building mistakes he made i am not worried about it nor am I vexed about it (You need to see the building now, its had a major makeover, its just that i am not the type that likes to brag and i keep my private matters private), it will cost time and money which God has provided patience and the means to continue in abundance. I also think its a good idea to expose BAD building practices here when our so called Engineers are the culprits, you must agree with me that there is nothing wrong with that, I trust that you belong to the league of the good builders. But the issue of the fake building plan approval, i am not letting that GO. No Way I have offered an olive branch towards a settlement and he has refused, and i will do whatever it takes to get it back, literally whatever it takes, and some will be surprised by the steps that i will take. This is no longer a case of contractor bad job etc, this is a pure case of FRAUD and i will not take it. skimanski: |

brabus: My Bricklayer tried to do that with me "A emo oye to nse dollar ni siyin" he said. I was like dude, if you want to earn dollar then come over here and face stiff competition, pay taxes on everything (and sometimes double, triple taxation on the same already taxed money), adhere to strict employment and work rules and regulations and ethics, purchase equipments since you can't rely on cheap labour, etc As you know previously I was all about importing but I have a different thought about that now. I think importing does a disfavor to the local economy and one of the reasons why we are where we are economically. We need to grow and support our local industry and I intend to do my little part. 1 Like |

Recently, I get scared to open this particular thread, and I used to love posting things here, learning, answering and sharing little bits of information made me enjoy coming on this thread, but it seems it is getting a lot of negative energy now. I beg all of us to please sheath our swords, forgive each other and move on peacefully. There is nothing, let me repeat NOTHING we can gain from all these fights. We can only spoil more things and end up injuring ourselves. All concerned should please, for the love of GOD, retrace their steps and apologize, forgive and reconcile not later that this weekend. This weekend guys, PLEASE. 4 Likes |

@ johnson232, Oga spyder880, We just made a resolve this afternoon only for my wife to receive 5 different calls from an unknown number and when she picked it was all gibberish. For how long shall we continue to act like overgrown babies? Anyway, the party is on and I'm having fun with the family. Remember, its a 3-in-1 celebration. (My Wedding Anniversary, My Birthday and NextHome's 5th Anniversary tomorrow). It's a week of celebrations! Thank you all for your love and care all the time. _____________ Oga EgunMogaji, I'm still working on the old barn doors o. Lucky me, the kids threw away some of the skating gears today and I've packed them up to convert into use for the DIY project. My budget is pegged at N25k for the door. This is type of door is normally sold between $300 - $500 or more. Materials on ground already: 1. Track 2. Guide Roller 3. Door (made from packing case) 4. Stopper 5. Tires (from salvaged skate board)

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by spyder880(m): 10:35pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
Olasuposaheed: Of course its perfectly normal, its like a wedding Why do you think most grooms are very afraid of the wedding day? Because the dont know what may go wrong, and when. A house is almost the most important, mentally challenging, physically tasking, pocket draining venture you can ever embark on. I spent some nights awake before I started my first house. But you don't need to be afraid, things will work out fine, just plan your build, and build your plan 2 Likes |

Olasuposaheed: Keep your cool! Nothing dey happen. Just be prepared with the toast line to use for the Omo oniles. "Eyin Omo Iya mi" "Blood" Look for the coolest face among them and make him your pal. As for the workmen and suppliers, just dey parade yourself up and down like an old brigade, they're all trying to learn your format. The same way you don't know how to approach them, they're also in the same dilemma. As for money, don't act like an ATM machine stuffed with too much money. Get an exercise book, record all transactions and pay everyone at the end of the day. Give everyone your rules and regulations. On the first day, you're still the person calling the shot. All will be well! 1 Like |

Oga Spyder. You try o. Why are most groom afraid of wedding day? Lol. Abeg if you ask alot if men here you will hear so many answers my brother. Make we no laugh yet. As for the new builder in the house. Have no fear. Life is all about risks. Some you win and some you lose. Just go for it and deal with any challenges you encounter as and when they arise.
