@ Demainman1, I see you.

Are you in support? Are you for or against? Make I carry on like Babalose said?

@ Babalose, you no see the brag part but the information to do everything and anything to keep water from your house. Thanks for that.

@brabus, please do carry on like @babalose said. Everyone has their area of interest.

What you are writing about might not mean a great deal to me because I no go school but might mean a whole lot to another.

No knowledge is lost sir. Fire on.

As for me, I am just high to see fellow Nigerians doing well and investing in real estate while praying that Baba God continue to hear my prayers so that I can also build a place of worship or a chicken coop like baba @Egunmogaji will say cheesy

Talk about "adóngbo jayé" grin

That's serious.. 26kN to 16kN.. Those results were after 28days?

After a 7-day period (because 28-day period was too lengthy since I needed to submit a report within two weeks). Look at the mix ratio used.... it is a strong mix ratio.

The individual will always approach things and situations based on their skillset and mindset. There are also educated illiterates a term I use to refer to the schooled but without a logical sense of reasoning or commonsense.


In order to be able to have meaningful discussions we tend to refer to the average joe and the usual Sarah (my(feminist addition) cos that is where the majority of us fall. Most graduates at least in 9ja left with let my people go (2.2)




Now we're talking.

So the credentialed and non credentialed approach things based on their level of education.

I posted a link of at least 100 people that weren't credentialed buy highly educated that were successful which is the point that I think Agarawu was making.

No need for me to post a link on credentialed to the hilt people who are not successful.

Throughout this debate I've used the words credentialed and educated carefully because there's a difference.

I of course support education, which is why I have daughters each in Stanford and Havard.

Thanks for a decent debate as usual with decorum.

Where's your location? I want an open test with video recording and we will send to LSMTL for lab test. Is that fine?

Maybe that will really help us here.

Edo state, Benin city. You see, I would really love to if given the opportunity to re-conduct the test, you see, 16N/mm² was just too low & what gross mistake could have been made to reduce the strength that much? It only goes to show that granite dust is inferior, if it was say 24N/mm², I can even accept I made a slight mistake. As regards, re-conducting the test, I must confess, it won't be easy in a school environment. Moreover, we are on strike....

I never had to compromise at any part of my personal project. I lost the books at some point and quality at whatever cost was given a big priority.

I saw cheap Chinese light fittings but went for a gate pillar light of 70k for a pair. That cannot be said of client who wanted to spend 300k to buy all the light fittings in their house.

Check what you see at H52. I bought Roman Blinds which is 100k plus. Most client won't pay for that. Sorry to say.


What about toughened glasses used for my glass partitions? I had option of buying ordinary for less.

My tiles are real Spanish and I paid its real price and not having a champagne taste on la casera budget.

My build is in Sagamu. Yet I did raft where everyone is doing Strip foundation.

I bought an electric mixer solely for all my backyard DIY project. I could do it with hand.

So like we say in computer world "GIGO"


It only makes sense that your personal house and office have a high level of detail.

They are lovely o.... but simply, in my own case; I am a very poor man.. so I just build with the simple and minimal cost items.
But we will probably see that in EgunM's real bungalow build when the time comes.. he is the modern one.. not I o.
I believe Fastshipping posted some way back and Brabus showcase some on his thread.

The ability to sift the wheat from the chaff is important on here. I learnt that earlier on.

I like your posts because I take away some information from them.

If I was building in ikorodu then I would pay critical attention to your build as a great example.

This one wey it seems like I'm bragging about my village hut. How I wish we can discuss fire prevention plans in residential houses and we have people who can show us what they've done to prevent fire and also share their fire escape strategies. Maybe we can enlighten others.

Make I share my little experience. But if I talk I hope I won't get on people's nerves.

It seems this site is only reserved for discussing certain subjects (colour of sand, colour of Windows, price of cement, etc).
Key topics like structural failures, foundation issues, home security, automation, fire prevention, and more don't receive good patronage.


Brabus

It's also good for discussing fantastic and actual drama free builds by Spyder880 and Skimanski.

People discuss what they want to learn about.

I talk about color of sand because that's what I want to learn about in the nigerian context. No need for me to learn about fire prevention because my architect and I have discussed that.

And by the way we did discuss fire prevention in detail on many occasions. Intact Spyder880 stated he always decks his kitchen and I argued, of course, that fire proof/resistance drywall is enough.

When there's no paper qualification, you need to show everything with your experience and reference works.

Now, NextHome is a niche that targets a particular demographic. So it's fair to showcase your best in where you operate from. The Fortune 100 companies of this world are doing it. Why shouldn't I?

I appreciate the feedback I'm getting here because it helps us to raise the bar high.
