Very true. It's about to get very real as my humble supplier is not even ready to sell some plumbing items to me today. I had to scream and later beg before he agreed to get me some quantity.

Building cost is about to get higher than we imagined. Everyone should look before they take the plunge of accepting Naira to carry out contracts. The situation is getting frightening.
In P-square's voice.... wahala dey! Wahala dey!!

Lol @ "Scream... and later beg"

But mehn!! If we no accept Naira na cedis we wan accept ?. grin
@ bolded Makes quite alot of sense.
If a quote is tendered at a particular time "x", and the Naira value converted to US $, you're in the safe zone regardless of how the rates go "IF" you'll be payed in US $ or the equivalent Naira value according to prevailing rate at execution time "z"

This will be a real disaster o. It's going to affect both the Builders and their Clients.

Like many colours that make a rainbow, your presence is desired and missed. This old man, me, dey beg you to sheat the drawn sword of battles deemed incomplete. Instead, let us find ways to address imperative outstanding travesties in a manner that does not sink the essence of this thread. Please concede to greater peace, even when cajoled by real or fake warriors; no need to test/prove. Na beg I dey beg! My experience says that this is the only Nairaland thread that can lead newbies and experienced followers to vast multiplicity of subject or Service provider threads and following. You can find out about Syyder, Abdulwastecx,, etc reputation here and follow their individual projects and posts. You can find here about about solar, doors, windows, gates, electrical and infinite materials and suppliers and providers, and leads to members projects. The reverse does not hold. Following Spyder's every project, as I do, will not expose me to vast other information centered herein. I want our ongoing discussion and interaction to be robust-imbued of necessary respectful and honest challenge process, so that newbies who click to last pages may want to revert to page one, and patiently discern the wheat versus chaff, the genuine, real Mckoy, versus the fraudsters, fakers, perpetrators! The future me's ( Johnny just come) need this thread focused and alive beyond 5000 pages! Respect and Peace!

Serious disaster Hajj, last week I planned to buy 10kva online ups bluegate and I was given a proforma invoice of 680k , I collected the cheque on tuesday and getting there I was told that the price of the ups has gone up to 980k. I was shocked. The "CHANGE" is really changing everything. The only thing that is not affected in the market now is the salt grin

My people! I greet o!

Please, who can advice on the best course of action for below?

Almost all consulted engineers are suggesting adding more filling at the back. I tend not to agree this is the best solution.

Can anyone please give some suggestions? I appreciate.

l thought as much, like other members have said already, kindly allow the bickering and rancor to end, it is best you just ignore comments directed at you that are not true, humans will always talk of you wether dead or alive, just ignore and move on please, remember if a pig and a white lamb gets into the same mud, they will both be classified as the same, welcome back and keep posting sensible construction information's like you always do in the past, l come here to read because of you, spyder880, Hajj, Skimanshi etc and other reputable engineers in the house, l am more of a silent & a ghost reader, l know the good, bad and ugly on this board & l know who to consult when l want to do my future projects, l want to see more of your crayons and colors.. tongue

Msogunro says he's not getting his site on google. You can see yours on google.
Which google are you both referring to? Google maps or Google earth? Google earth desktop or the one for android?

If you are putting in the coordinates of your land - then you are good to go. I find it really accurate on google earth.

Plus google earth has a time slider that you can drag and it shows you images from 2005 to the latest acquisition date. There's a toggle button that allows you view the same spot on google maps - so you can toggle between the two. The latest date i saw for the spot i checked was June 29th, 2016. There's also a new google earth pro - which I've never used.

I had the chance to go on a tour of the Emergency Operations Centre, built three floors underneath the ground, in my neck of the woods - and they had this tool that shows real time live imagery of any address you pop in from different angles. It was as closest as you could get to 4K quality and this was on gigantic screens on the wall. I was wide eyed and asked tons of questions and I only contained myself after the Police tour guide asked me to send him my resume. And they also use a scaled down version of this tool to determine if residents have done any illegal builds or improvements(decks, fence, trees etc) without obtaining permits from the municipality. They had some real techy stuff there.

As an aside, do they have auto-correct on here for some typed words

Who told you the height of the tank scaffold dont matter grin, since we do not use pressure pump in 9ja the true pressure we get is that given to us via force of gravity,same way ur electric heater will not produce pressure to your shower if not in the proper height.

Can the pressure at 3m height be compared to that created by a pressure pump?

Well in lay terms No but by science.free fall via gravity is 10. Pressure pump can be increased or decreased .
In my bathroom there is a little pump inside the power shower . That's why it's a power shower.

I've checked every Google product on android, ios, and desktop. All show the entire area as bush, when most of it was cleared earlier this year. I also don't see a toggle to view by year.

Do you think prices will come down again or is this the new age we live in ?
Exchange rates fluctuate, I wonder if the events of the last 6 months has devalued the naira through the back door.
