erico2k2: I know what you mean by decking business o. Several nights I spent with Abdul was very helpful and meaningful. I have to give him credit for all his helps. Everything he taught me then was hanging in my head when they were doing the decking. Very helpful and thank God I had a good builder by the name of Aventures, he also made it look so simple like Spyder... after completion I surely did breath sigh of relief o. Aventures saved me a lot of money on certain areas.. like renting woods/bamboos instead of buying. We also over-buy all the materials like Stone dust, Iron bars, granites... we both knew we are buying excess but I always make sure I have enough materials... so the left-overs were used for upper floor lintels/pillars (iron/granites/stone dust) and installation/hanging of the parapets with irons and stone dust with granites too... Aventures never took any leftovers from the site and even gave me account of what is left, counted in the presence of my brother who is the Site Manager... I respected Aventures for his honesty. Thank God materials were at normal cost then... that was in December/January 2016. He even recorded some of the process and sent it to me like I was there live. Professional Builders will make you sleep well and peaceful at night. ![]() Hajji M. 5 Likes |

I must express my admiration for this concept "Do It Yourself". A couple of years ago, I posted here on Nairaland concerted efforts I was making to hurriedly complete my 3 bedroom bungalow so I can finally be free from my cantankerous landlady. Today, the building is as good as ready to move; though tiling work and wiring are ongoing as I write. I am particularly encouraged by the likes of Hajj, Rotech and lot more people I can't recall their names. May the good Lord continue to use to you encourage many more people to aspire to owning their own "homes". Thank you 2 Likes 1 Share |
