EgunMogaji: The word adjustable means 2 things to me in this context; wooden doors that millimeters of the top and bottom can be shaved down by planing or steel doors that come from factory with a height adjustable fixture. The common one i have seen of type 2 is the Isreali Steel door commonly available it Nigeria. Tried to find pictures that will show it very well but this is what i can find. Pic 1- note the bottom space, door frame is taller than door Pic 2- note that frame is still taller than door after installation but a solid colour part of the door protrudes and now covers the bottom space. Also notice both doors in the picture have same protrusion Pic 3- close up shot of the protruded fixture that seem to hang down from inside the door panel. Also notice an adjustment screw. 1 Like

gabbytabby: Madam Gabby you deserve a very well cooked plate of goat meat pepper soup and a bottle of beer to settle the food properly for this. � Take out time and visit foreign birth section in passport office in Lagos. You will be shocked at the number of foreigners waiting to obtain Nigeria passport. |

EgunMogaji:That is exactly the issue now, they have milk me in the past I don't want it to continue, they gave me a bogus fee to complete level before roofing so am trying to get all prices of materials and negotiating the rest.

ice4u999: As a foreigner with any shade of light complexion, Nigeria is the place to be for life. In which other country in the world will a foreigner start life from the top? Free house, maids, cooks, security, transportation and no taxes. They are off the grid. Some locals go as far as having them front for their companies as foreign partners. / 2 Likes |

Please watch this video especially at 9:10 to 9:25 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZp0oaB1Wqw Any recommendations for a reliable brand of Concrete and Brick Diamond Circular Saw How much does it cost to get one? (Purchase) Assuming the cost is prohibitive and so not cost-effective for a single project, are they available for rent?(rent per day) In Abuja? I am interested in putting up a building, but if I had my way, I want to blocks to be sliced this way and not the Nigerian way, if you know what I am talking about. Two reasons: 1. It is just beautiful due to the symmetry 2. It will reduce/eliminate wastage of cement blocks If you have one for sale or rent, please add your contact details in your signature and I will get back to you. 1 Like |

Nbg4real:If u already have columns & probably wanna achieve a frame structure, u can do it. But if your build is block work, i don't really see much need for it, flat roofs don't exert much load. |

InvertedHammer:kano state is the second home of Lebanese in Nigeria, they are almost been worshipped in kano, most of the companies in kano in particular belong to them, they even have a road named after them called Beirut road, l worked with several of them those days in Nigeria and I can say without exaggeration that they are crafty, subtle and are not ready to do things the normal way, they front for their rich brothers in Lebanon and also use some northerners in Nigeria to milk the system, they are not in Nigeria to count the bridges but to milk the system via the backdoor During the era of the late Abacha, I can mention lots of Lebanese national that Fronted for Abacha in kano, they eat, wear, drive and live the best in Nigeria and they even treat few Nigerians as slaves because they have the police at their Beck and call to their advantage I, speak especially from my experience in kano during my youth service and also worked with many of them, Nigeria is like US to them and, they will do anything to carry our citizenship not necessarily out of patriotism but to take advantage of a place void of proper regulations, many of them carry Nigeria passport, so you are absolutely correct with your post 1 Like |

Nbg4real: 1) what did the architect/structural engineer specify in the building plans? 2) it depends on the shortcuts that you’re prepared to take on your project. Some don’t do columns, some do columns without baskets, some don’t do a monolithic floor, etc Good luck on your project. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: Thank you...does that include those said to be made from stone dust and cement? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 3:15pm On Mar 01, 2018 |
MPVGoddess: It’s the content of cement in the mix. Cement is the “glue” that binds either stone dust or sharp sand together in the blocks. I don’t think the need to saw is worth the end result. IMHO. Believe me I tried this fancy block work thing. |

asids55: I'll go with the first (black - Hip) roof - less maintenance cost on the long run........ 2 staircases ? - well, what we have are standards or minimum requirements - the minimum requirement is obviously 1 stairs but by choice and for other reasons (including security, functionality, choice) you can have 2, 3, or 4.....
