Members of the public let me bring to your attention of a scammer who operates in Lagos, in particular the Lekki/Ajah area and mainland. He claims he does kitchens, that is true to a point, only that he will collect most of your money and won't complete the job. His work is very showdy too. Don't be deceived he will take you to building sites where he will show you other peoples work and claim its his. This man has such audacity to try and con people. His name is Bamidele o ogunkayode. He will soon find out scamming does not pay. Avoid Bamidele o ogunkayode - HE IS A THIEF, WON'T DO YOUR JOB, CLAIM THAT TRANSPORT COSTS HAVE GONE UP 10 FOLD OVER NIGHT, AFRAID TO PICK UP HIS TELEPHONE. Beware Bami -Theif -Dele This s the thread of the project he was working on, I will update more on this project in the near future https://www.nairaland.com/2753189/wing-duplex-flat-ajah-moore/6#60204787 3 Likes

I guess over time you've made it a habit to run down people and their opinion(s) sticking to yours and those whom you've considered your best. It is one thing to read a book and explain it in simpler terms especially to a novice client. Too many responses tend to be purely academic and not necessarily field knowledge. Well I hope others who read previous posts had something to hold onto because it's quite painful to read one's post regarding a subject and not get the needed understanding. For what is worth as a general principle or should I say rule of thumb " walls running perpendicular to joists should be considered load bearing and non load bearing walls runs parallel to the joists too". For those who care to read kindly follow the various links; https://www.nachi.org/roof-framing-part1-2.htm http://www.ehow.com/info_12173005_roof-structure-types-loadbearing-walls.html http://www.homeadditionplus.com/dev/framing/load-bearing-walls/ http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-01-26/business/0101260141_1_walls-bearing-joists https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=RTC8yFaw7ioC&pg=PA205&lpg=PA205&dq=gable+roof+and+load+bearing+wall&source=bl&ots=xr5G-Koqea&sig=4SM7oQazE2g4SJrTi8p1au1DagU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjesdeZ05PWAhVNaVAKHQoYBo84FBDoAQgUMAM#v=onepage&q=gable%20roof%20and%20load%20bearing%20wall&f=false There are so many perspectives to building a house but it's always important to do one that'll bring comfort, economically cost effective and safe for the owner as rightly said by someone on the platform. Good Luck. |

Back to the issue of Security and use of alternative means: I saw this story online and decided we could take a bite at it! http://punchng.com/owner-dogs-killed-five-year-old-relocates/ The landlord, whose dogs killed a five-year-old girl, Aliyah Masaku, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, has relocated them to the Sagamu area of Ogun State. I brought this story because we were discussing how some owner leaves their Dogs to prowl at night, without a leash. - If you are the Parent of this little girl that was mauled to death by "Security Dogs" of your neighbour, what would you do; To the Dogs and its owner? - If you are the owner of the Dogs that mauled this little girl to death, what would you do to your Dogs and the Parents of the child it killed? - Do we still consider it prudent, to leave such dangerous Dogs to prowl without a leash? - Do we consider our liabilities, when what belongs to us is considered 'dangerous' and kills another? - Finally, is it worth it, for this U.K based Dog owner? Something to discuss/ |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 9:25pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Daboomb: Let me answer your question before I give my personal opinion. a) The Dogs will be dead, immediately. I will also sue the owner both in Nigeria and UK. b) I would put the offending Dog(s) down, immediately and offer to compensate the parents. c) I never consider it prudent to leave anything other than a handbag Dog to prowl "the street". d) Any reasonable adult should be doing that. This is why I combined two plots, bought out in the boonies (though it seems that I did not go far out enough now). This is what homeowner insurance is for. e) He is the only one to answer that. Now onto my opinion. First, my fence is to keep me and my stuff in. It's not to keep intruders out. Intruders will get in if they want or just simply wait till I am outside my gate. This is crucial because certain elements on here doesn't seem to understand why I would fence myself in. I intend to have at least 4 trained Dobermans prowling my premises. Second, just having a Dog is not the answer. A Dog to me is a security element not a family pet. Dogs need training, they need to know who is the leader of the pack, they need obedient training and also training that will allow them to give up their live to protect me and my family. You just don't go out and buy Dogs without training them. You just don't lock Dogs up in a kennel or chain them down. They need to be trained and treated as they serious security element that they are. Alsatians dogs by nature are not aggressive in this manner. I would think that the behavior displayed here is because either the Dog has mental issue (Dogs have the same diseases that humans have) or wasn't trained enough. If I were to guess, I would say that this Dog was bought as a puppy and allowed to grow wildly in the compound without limitation. My Dogs will not be chained down, they will prowl my property, they will not eat except from their bowl, they will not exit the gate even if it was wide open and a Cat or another DOg was sitting just outside and winking at them. That is training. My MaiGuard wanted a "security Dog" but all he got was a local Dog. I didn't get him the Pitbull that he wanted for two reasons. 1) Pitbulls are killers, period. and 2) I will not be there constantly to train the Dog. So I ask other homeowners to be cognizant o the inherent risks with Dogs. |

Greetings house Just discovered my tiler did a very rough job in my new build Haven't been around The tiles look so rough with cement & sand stains. I have scrubbed the floor, but the stains are still very visible. I want to enquire if there is a chemical or special detergent i can use to remove the stains. I will really appreciate your input. Cc write2boi, rotech77 & the house Thanks. |

Barryton: Somebody should please come to this man's aid! I have heard said that they use "chemical" to clean Tiles (even cement stains from Wondows) but l have never really inquired about the kind of chemical being refered to.... but l am certain there is one or more in existence. Sometimes, our Artisans really fall hand. Even the so-called Togo Tilers, l had one who was a real nightmare, sometimes back. He is so arrogant, wont listen to suggestions (even if it will improve his job deliver as he thinks he knows it all), very rough job delivery, very wasteful (he butchers Tiles like it is dashed out for free in the market; any little size he requires, he cuts a new whole, never using off-cuts!) But the breaking point came when he stole my Carton Tiles and l caught him. That landed him in a week detention with small-small morning and evening 'exercises' while l got another person to tidy-up his shoddy job. I think people like Spyder, Skimanski, Aventures and other notable builders in the house may have used or caused to be used, such chemical in their 'clean-up finishings', before handover to Client. Please, make una help pur brother. 2 Likes |

Daboomb: There is a Chemical for cleaning tiles. Once you get to any shop where building tools are sold like shovel, head pans, nails, hammers e.t.c , tell them to give you acid. Yes! thesame acid you here about, that's the chemical. So to be kept totally out of the reach of Children and to be used by people who know how to use it. First thing you do when you get it is to test how strong it is. This can be done by droping a little on the floor and you will notice a Yellowish boiling subtance. If it doesn't boil then its fake. On getting to site, note you have to pour some quantity on a bucket of water with soap inside the water and use mop or brush to apply on the surface you wish to clean. You should leave the surface soaked with the acid diluted water for like 5mins to 10mins to allow it soak up the surface before you apply your strength in brushing the soaked surface. Note! you are dealing with acid, hence the reason why you are diluting with water. But regardless, you must were any form of protective outfit to avoid direct contact with your skin as this may cause inching and damaged skin. on a very Important Note: Never Ever allow the acid touch any silver surface when cleaning. Be it stainless of alluminum. E.G door handles, Shower mixers/Faucets, Metal Trims e.t.c. If it does, it burns that surface immediately. Now from a more professional point of view. Your tilers must always hold foam and cloth when laying tiles for you. The moment they lay one face of the wall before going to the other face of the wall, they must use foam with water to clean the tiled surface and then use the cloth in wiping the water off it. if they don't, no money. It must be agreed on from the beginning. This will save you a lot of cleaning headach at the end. Cleaning is a very important process in construction. We have passed through a lot of challenges regarding cleaning in the past. Infact every department must clean up their mess before they collect their cash. POP finish the must clear out they rubbles and soaked POP floors. Masons install they windows they must use foam to clean it up before they close and collect money. wood guys work, they must clear up they saw dust when they close before they collect cash. Its easy that moment, but difficult when left to accumulate. 4 Likes |

@baryton I just noticed the post now, thanks for the members that have answered your question. To buttress there answers the chemical is called hydrochloric acid, if you are close to ojota ask them there, the gallon is blue but they sell in small quantities , also you can get it at coker Orile. More so it's advisable to do this washing with chemical after 1-2week after you might have fixed the tiles bcs that chemical due weaken cement |
