abdulwastecx: In fact I thought I had located a trusted roofer. Came highly recommended by the guy I trusted and helped financially once in a while. I even turned down roofers introduced by my family for this so called "trusted roofer". Little did I know that they are a tag team only looking out for their own personal gain. I have learnt my lesson. |

danowena:depends on the quantity or size. there are variants of about 80m sold for N4200, give or take then there are larger rims of about 300m that retail for about 12k , this is particularly useful for those who have long runs, otherwise the smaller variant works just fine for domestic projects. |

n3xt:Lol, I'm sure everybody who read the above got the idea, not much figuring out to do. I get your anticipation thingie tho and I'm sincerely looking forward to seeing the conduiting and those wall chasers are quite a great option. a concrete cutting machine will require two parallel runs to create the void , but the chaser does this in just one pass/run |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by allCopacetic: 9:19pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
mufutau55:ok, sir just make sure not to buy those small 1.5k or 2k coils, na odinary iron dey inside. the conductor breaks easily and when than happens you'll be struggling with poor signal quality |

TCD: Thank you for being diligent. We shall overcome and make Nigeria great again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I would have had to defend myself from something I knew nothing about. |

danowena:You might want to find out what brand and length you were sold first. coaxial cables are manufactured by many companies to different specifications. the cores are in different diameters, some can have core conductors with cross-sectional areas (standard cable sizing) as large as 1.5mm2, though most typically range between 0.75mm2-1.0mm2 the insulator and flex mesh inside also differ in size and material. For instance coleman is about 14k, but is just 100m. A 300m variant of that same standard will cost over 35k 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by allCopacetic: 9:41pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
mufutau55:heard of the Anstel brand , but I'm not too familiar with it. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by danowena: 9:56pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
allCopacetic: Oh ! Unless dat. I will try to check when chanced. If I find out I was ripped off that bad. I will simply buy the next cable and tell him to fix it but to pay for workmanship on completion. And once job is tested and done. It is to tell him to use my remaining cable money to balance up ( Bihari PDF style ) @ hajj Some national stations are on DSTV but I can't say about other cable networks. |

segcymoor: There was a place I was reading about building construction in a swampy area, very big logs of wood were played down on the ground before the foundation was set up. From the article, that seemed to be aan affordable, reasonable an archaic method of building in a swampy area back then. So what is that kind of foundation called, the type that sits on huge logs of wood in a swamp..? Thanks as I anticipate your answer. |

mufutau55: Being meaning to find out sir, Is there some form of business partnerships on Nairaland property section that new businesses can key into? Say for example, a group of people offering different services, links each other up for the purpose of providing better and more effective services to clients, while all the benefactors of the entire project will be mainly nairalanders. I wish to be part of something like that and from there, build my online presence. Is it obtainable? Thank you as I anticipate your response. |

segcymoor:I think its to make the house rigid, yet able to float with rising water level. The weight of the house keeps it rooted on the ground in the absence of water or the foundation is secured to something like tension leg semi subs |
