EgunMogaji:

Thank you Sir.
None of this would be possible if folks like you have not gone before us with multi builds and shown you can indeed build from overseas.

EgunMogaji:


I'm not furniture shopping yet but I did note an outfit with a shop on top of KFC on ring road. Next to Skye and GT bank.

I'll try to get the details for you tomorrow.

EgunMogaji:
I carry yansh for you landlords o.

One house in from of my mums, the owner evicted her tenants. When legally didn't work she had feces sprayed inside the house - a face me I face you type.

Anyways the tenants left but one promised her that she won't live to see the middle of the month.

She died in her sleep two days ago, only 50 or so years old.

Now me as an educated Londoner knows it's probably an underlying medical condition that's untreated but the buzz in the hood is not to rent to the ijeshas

KolaShangOne:


Bros you have to go through special training to use a sniper rifle o.. You will even calculate wind speed etc while using a sniper rifle. E no easy

gabbytabby:
Too many people not to rent to namely business man igbo, ekiti, ondo, ilorin, muslim, single ladies especially edo, widow, olopa, lawyer, ijebu etc
There is some truth in the list but essentially there are too many evil people to contend with.

Its a list that was shared with me severally by different landlords and agents. My experience indicates over 80 percent true.

I have let to 2 olopa and 2 lawyers with no incident. Its a game of probabilities those more likely to be problematic.

Looking back let's just say I wish I had taken it on board

mavverick:
Damn....
Its a hard and tough one madam, it really is. I was always made to believe yoruba were the best and gold standard, however I have proven (with evidence) to those who said that over the years that its not the case (hard to generalise, but some categories have some element of truth to it). I think na to leave am to God, and when incident arise, DEAL with it using strong hand.

Madam, if flavour wants to rent your apato now, would you say no him because he is igbo ?

EgunMogaji:


No to screeding..

At some point in the future I intend to do wood paneling so it'll be a waste.

Lord have mercy. Just 2 yrs ago i bought plumbing and lighting materials in the US to ship to nija when time is right. Time is now right but to ship them cost $2k and that's equvalent to 1 nigeria million. I am confused

I may have to return big stuff and get my money back if possible and ship mini stuff unless price of toiletries are up over there

This is crazy.

Empiree:
Why not?

Pardon me. What do you mean by this?. You mind posting sample of this pls?

EgunMogaji:


1) It's your project, its supposed to be fun so do whatever you wish to do regardless of whose Ox is gored.

2) I encourage you to go out solo like I did and ccheck stuff out. Don't be shy, show picture of similar things that you want and they'll bring it out. They don't bother to display the expensive stuff because most buyers s are not interested.

Flaghouse1:


Just imagine shipping costing $2,000 equivalent of 1million Naira,we just need to look inward and conserve foreign exchange,

EgunMogaji:


I've always wanted to do wood paneling and this is a wonderful opportunity to hide the ghastly plastering work. I haven't seen any screeding job that impresses me as much as wood paneling.

Go to Houzz.Com and search for "wood paneling".

I'll post some pics when I get home (if I'm allowed in by Trump)

Empiree:
Seen. Hunmm, oh no, I don't think this is a good idea for me. Is this meant to overbuild, fancy looking interior or just your taste?

EgunMogaji:


It's a matter of taste and acceptable standards for me.

I would never recommend some of my off the wall antics on my build to others.

As an example, I've spent about N50k on clean up on my site. Something others would consider a waste.

A previous landlord visit will be a must if I am persuaded by other factors. If I hear story that I am living in parents home or hostel just forget it.

Igbos in professional jobs are okay just the I am a business man ones that are no no. I generally would avoid every self employed business person anyway as difficult to measure affordability.

I said I am in semi retirement let those way get strength they use strong arm.

mufutau55:


Even Skimanski plastering and decorative walls, you are not impressed? I am staying away from wood paneling... plasterboard I like, but I cannot afford it. With my kobo-kobo pace, I will never finish the project before I quench.

Hajji M.

Empiree:
Indeed but you still gotta plaster though bcus you sound like plastering is waste of time and $$

back2sender:
Please has anyone bought spanish tiles of recent within last half of last year and this year so far? The tiles of which a carton contains 3pieces.
I need to know the amount at which it was bought back then, its for a projection am working on.
Thanks all in advance for your responses

EgunMogaji:


Even though I did plaster, but it is an option not a requirement.

What I absolutely would not do is screeding. It's not a waste for folks that want to do it but it's a waste for me as I want to do

I think I might have confused the readership with my mix up between plastering and screeding.

EgunMogaji:

Haba baba, na so you wan hang your boy out to dry?
Im sure I will like Skimanskis plastering if I see it up close.
Paneling is cheap in Nigeria and the beauty of it is that I can do it myself.

Empiree:
Was thinking about this actually. What's screeding actually, just to smoothing the wall or what?. I dont want dictionary definition

mufutau55:


Yes. Smooth wall and all the cracks sealed. I did cement screeding and I can surely see the difference.
