erico2k2: Agreed that some people get duped by family but it's just something to keep in mind when calling from outside the country that you will likely get duped by the artisans too because they think you have a lot of dollars. Not everyone has the luxury of going home for extended periods to monitor their projects. You have to be comfortable with paying a little extra than someone that lives in Nigeria but your goal should be to keep that extra to the minimum. As for me, God bless my sweet mama 2 Likes |

diordaves:Pls let get your English right, are you saying Egun should let the guy getway with the 9k? Men can you imagine when I bought my about 600 plus mix woods, 100 here 50, there add up.That difference could pay for his labour. This is the problem we have as people, most see nothing wrong with little stealing. 4 Likes |

Shawls: I have not posted much here. Just followed the thread diligently. I am sure that will change once I start to build. Question for Haji - I am sure we have tried to contact this person through several means. Have we been able to verify that he is still active, using his number, whatsapp, etc.? Could it be that the person is actually really incapacitated, something happened to him may be? Just saying... |

kopell: Like EgunMogaji said, we should adopt different approach to our build. What I'm saying without encouraging little stealing is I will not go to sawmill for just a couple of wood as I'm really time poor each time I visit Nigeria. In fact I don't go buying materials myself. I invest my time in knowing the going rate for needed stuff and the DIRECT supplier contact. When in Nigeria or even home abroad, I just make phone calls to suppliers to deliver to site. I'm normally at my site to take stock and ensure quality of materials and services delivered. Stress no go kill me say I dey build house. 1 Like |

mavverick: Everything went up in price due to diesel they said BUT they said it's good wood that can be used twice or so. Going to reuse it for the German floor of gateman house. I blame myself for not taking the opportunity to offer metal forms for rent |

abike12: Yes, some people were duped by family, but this should not be a basis to conclude that everybody gets duped by family. That would be an error of thinking. Upon all my travel and posing, the stuff my mum handles in 10 minutes with artisans, I would not dare try it in 10 years. I join you in appreciating my mama and sibling too. 2 Likes |

erico2k2: Boss, if you see the way I dey strut around the place like say I go buy 1,800 pieces instead of 18 I enjoy myself though see how dem operate. They use saws with open blades and no safety guards |

diordaves: My 8 to 5 is stress. My build is the fun bit. The sawmill action today was the most fun I've had in a while in Nigeria so far this trip. Well, putting up my flag pole was cool too |
