This will blow your mind IMPORTANT USE OF STONE DUST After reading the attached file(PDF) i believe your perspective towards stone dust will Change!!! apart from science and technology it is observed that 90% of sharp sand is with salt content or mud, understandable that the best sharp sand is from Odo Ogun in Ogun State that is without salt but is with particles of mud, this mud when mixed with Cement in future loose its size like when decomposition took place leaving void(holes) in Bricks, Mortar and concrete where is mostly use. Report shows it that products from stone dust is 15% higher strength than that of the concrete made of normal sand and brick chip. To the main point of discuss Sharp sand price is on the high side now, despite its less strength to stone dust. Major reason is simple economy recession, High cost of Diesel and foreign exchange to parts attached to articulated truck used to transport this product. Standard Organisation of Nigeria mandate all bricks producing factories in Abuja to produce bricks with stone dust. To the big blow a tonnage of stone dust is N2,200, while in the south west is sold at the peck price of N700 per tone another funny thing is that bricks in Abuja and Lagos sold at same rate. Why Chekitaut is HERE Stone dust is cheap now Island all through to Ajah and Mainland for 30tons is N95,000 and N87,000 respectively Because we want to promote the use of Stone dust as Bricks, Mortar and Concrete Buy 60tons GRANITE get 30tons Stone Dust Free Hurry while stock last Lagos Island, V.I, Ikoyi, Lekki, Ajah @N136,000/30tons Mainland @N130,000/30tons [b]Granite Booking Call: 08055545355, 08032887233 Text: 08055545355, 08032887233, 08098055224, 08025392565.

There is more than enough evidence to put brabus in a compromising position should he decide to take legal action against most people here on nairaland. The evidence is against him and he knows it. If he was truly innocent he would have taken legal action long ago. But anyways I know you're just trolling...how your chicken leg pillars? AZUH: 4 Likes |

With the current rate of sharp sand being about 60k for what is essentially a 12.5 tonne truck. Is there any research that allows the use of mias as an alternative. Most block makers in ogun and closely linked lagos neighbourhoods use this sand for block making in place of sharp sand. Mias looks to me to be crushed gravel. |

44chux: I have no info about this. Though I can get it if I really want from my in-house contacts in the estate. Welcome to the fastest growing community in Lagos. The vision we saw 6 years is beginning to come to pass. The biggest mall in Lagos will be officially opened (on that road) on the 2nd August 2016. A good place for upscale commercial developments ______ By the way, I remain committed to my word. 20km from H52. Other requests are outsourced. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello You will notice I stopped replying some people who I think are somewhat deranged. I'm not surprised why LASG introduced mental tests. . Anyway let me admire the pictures of the nearly finished house with the lights on , some people are not worthy of my time and attention.

House Where does Ajah officially start and ends ? I find it confusing or perhaps misleading, would Lakowe be classed as Ajah ? My thoughts used to be that Ajah ends at Abraham Adesanya. 2 Likes |

Oga checkitout What's your thoughts on using stone dust to fill a compound before laying interlocks, I know it's sharp sand that is usually used. I have sand filed with literate as high as it can get. my question is that, does stone dust offer any advantage as I know it's more costly compared to sharp. My interlocker suggested it but he thinks brabus has either finished paying me or Dasuki shared some money with me. Chekitaut: 2 Likes |

n3xt: I was googling precasted lintels yesterday after another Nairalander showed pictures of his lintels that were under par. Please share images of that too. How will they be lifted to first level window and doors? I believe they are extremely heavy. Also, can you share the dimensions and price of the bricks? Do you know if dye can be used to change the color? Will a masonry wall chaser be used to insert the plumbing and electricals? This is 1 type of wall chaser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_loOGNvVSAs 1 Like |
