Do they regrow trees?

Please be lengthy in your response Sir.

erico2k2:

Regrow tree ke lol
I use to help my dad run his timber Biz wen I just finished sec school,tress got fell and we have a hammer we stamp the stump with, it has a number dial on it and that was the end of that tree lol.

EgunMogaji:


That's a shame.

There are sawmills in the US that will only buy and process a certain percentage of regrown trees. That's how much they are committed to preserving the source of their raw materials.

Then make sure that wood is well treated with Anti-termites solutions like Solignum.

forex keep going up, the £ gained N10 lastnight to make it N475.

Good morning all and I wish well. Got some quotes for my alum windows. The cheapest (in fact quite a big saving compared to others) is using 4mm thick glass. With the expensive quotes, some are using 4mm and others 5mm glass. One of them is advising against using 4mm glass! What do you guys think? Is using 4mm glass going to be a costly mistake?

diordaves:


DO NOT, Repeat do not use so called 4mm glass. As with all metric measure in Nigeria, it's actually 3mm. The so called 4mm (3mm) is fragile, intricate so breaks easily which is wasteful. 4mm (3mm) glass in wrong hands is an after instalment challenge to the home owner or tenants as the rubber seal between the glass and the alum frame go skwed in no time with the sharp edges of the glass exposed.

As casement/sliding windows in Nigeria are rerely double glazed, 4mm (3mm) is a very poor noise dampener. So if your Gen Set is behind your window, the noise can be deafening.

Go for a thicker glass: 10mm to start with. If you struggle to achieve this, it should be well over 5mm.

rabcnesbit:


Okay, thank you very much for the advice. And when the windows are made/delivered, is it easy and straightforward to measure the thickness to confirm the thickness, as Nigerians being Nigerians you are never sure you are getting what you paid for!

diordaves:


If you've got calipher, it could be done albeit tricky. Do this during construction. If they deliver to site and the measurements don't meet specification, what would you do? Reject the work? Then your problem starts here.

The IMF warned a couple of days ago that the Naira is over valued at £450 by 20%. Since then there's the current steady slide of the Naira to about £475 now. The temporary boost to the Naira value is as a result of government intervention by dipping into the foreign reserve. This is just a stop gap knee jeck reaction. This can't be sustained as plundering the foreign reserve to temporarily support the Naira is a questionable economic decision, supported by the IMF statement we will see a further slide in the value of the Naira.

As at current economic perenthesis, the real value of the Naira is £550. So prices have currently improved in recent times with the government intervention but this is not expected to continue in its bi-weekly form as the intervention is not sustainable in the long term. Prices will further go north as the Naira moves to £550 in value. Make use of the temporary drop in some prices and buy big budget materials like rods, cement, tiles now!

EgunMogaji:


Make it rise enter next month "In Sha Allah".

If they artificially modulate it as they've been doing, sure it will fall. But if they stop then it will rise catastrophically.

We simply need to earn not spend dollars.

Is the quote for the photos you attached ? If yes, where did you use flashing​ of N85k ?

Bending for N8k cheap o. Are you sure?

Transport of N25k; it depends sha. Could be cheaper if factory is not too far.

What about loading​/off loading? Is this in accessories?
