msogunro: Based on the peculiarity of your site as seen on pics though, I'll suggest you speak to a reputable drilling company to carry out pre-drilling geophysical survey to establish groundwater level and depth to aquifer point. This will help determine the type of drilling and your final cost. The cost I received some years ago from a Pro-Driller is N11,500/m for drilling using percussion equipment, piping and other installation as required. _________ Pre-drilling geophysical survey result 1 Like

@msogunro Congrats on the acquisition of your land. I'd been watching silently from the time you were deliberating whether to buy it or not. I was looking at buying already completed houses but the stuff i'm seeing on here in the property section is making me have a rethink. There's an indescribable joy in seeing those builds go up - even though they aren't mine. Just seeing the transformation from 3D to actual physical building is enough. If you don't mind me asking, how close is this to Green Springs Hotel? Are you able to share with me the details of the agent selling the next plot? Many thanks in advance. msogunro: 2 Likes 1 Share |

I'm laying out the electrical wiring for my garage apartment and would like to get ideas about Nigerias electrical code. I want to try to be as close to code as possible where it makes sense. Thing like how many sockets per room, height of switches and outlets, amperages, etc Thanks.

44chux: Can you share this with me? I'm presently looking at doing HDMI over Cat6 for 18 TVs over 40m length. Trying to change an AV multimedia system to HDMI for use with ProPresenter on my Mac system. It doesn't have to be here to avoid derailing the thread. You can share links to such interesting setup if you have. By the way, this can be integrated into smarthome network so I don't think you're derailing the thread if shared in details here. Thanks. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 7:07am On Jul 28, 2016 |
twinskenny: I think he's talking about HDMI over IP. One can extend good signal over 100m with such setup. This will be one of the cheapest way of getting 1080p without breaking bank. An all HDMI setup is very expensive. |

TCD, I am sorry if I was harsh but you need to clear my doubts by posting the screenshots and mobile number on the currency thread to alert ppl. https://www.nairaland.com/3190496/currency-e-currency-market-deals . I was expecting you to tag the person's moniker on the currency thread for verification instead of coming here to cause another thing because the person involved is in the group of ppl that can come up with shyt like this. I will be waiting for you on the thread. 6 Likes |

44chux:Sure, As far as delivering the radio signals from your dish to the receiver/decoder goes, a good copper-cored coax cable should give you a perfectly clear signal. Getting HDMI quality picture and sound now depends on the setup/connection from your receiver to the TV. Receiver to TV (via HDMI cable) and TV to Home theater (via HDMI) should set you up for quality HD viewing. The TV obviously has to be a HD TV for the HDMI connection to matter |

Checkitout You too funny sha can it be mixed ? Just thinking as I may have some sharp left overs and you know I will not throw it away. You still didn't say what advantage stone dust offers apart from saying if it's the correct thing to do. If dpc membrane or nylon is laid underneath before stones, will it stop the growth of vegetation on interlocks ? Chekitaut: |

gabbytabby:Lol madam, and you know this how? @ bolded You cannot safely arrive at such a conclusion unless you know: -if the connection to the D/board is single or three phase, -The number of boards to be fed -The distance (along the counduit path) between each board and meter/power house - the generator set up and location. the 10mm is most likely going to be run for the gen aswell. The question about the TV cable would be...."coils of how many meters each ?" .. 10 is obviously not practical anyways. |
