gbadexy: Pls advise me on which to take My painter said he will sampaper the wall and prime it with white paint before the real paint But I prefer, wall screeding with pop What are the advantages and disadvantages |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by frozen70(f): 1:53am On Dec 22, 2019 |
gbadexy: Pls why does satin paint peel over time Is it caused by pop screeding, will it be better on cement screeding or better still paint the wall with satin without screeding |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 4:05am On Dec 22, 2019 |
frozen70:He may sandpaper the wall and apply primer and it would look good. I think screeding still gives the best finish though. If you want to reduce peeling of satin, apply a good primer on the sandpapered screeded wall before applying satin. After screeding, the wall has to be sandpapered and it leaves residual powders on the surface whites rubs off easily. This loose powders prevent the paint from having a strong bond with the wall. If satin is painted on ordinary cement plastered wall, it would not peel off except there is damp issue but you can't apply satin on unscreeded wall. It would look unsightly. A good primer applied just lightly over the sandpapered screeding would bind the loose powders to the wall and shouldn't rub off the wall easily before applying the satin so that it has a stable surface to bond properly with. 1 Like |

My good people of Nairaland please how much are the following alumaco frame with glass and net: 5 x 4, 4 x 4 and 4 x 2? In various places like Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, etc. Please how many bags of cement are needed to cement both the inside and outside walls of a three bed room bungalow all en suite? One sitting room and dining. The dimensions are average, nothing unusually big. I was shocked to hear 85 bags of cement! |

segzy14: Good morning Segzy, and thanks for this post to warn innocent clients who wants to do genuine business with Vendors here on nairaland from falling prey of the fraudster, Chekitaut. Unfortunately, I had fallen prey already before your post became very clear. I first saw your post when I was about entering business with chekitaut, but at that point, so many still considered him genuine, and you too harsh and being too quick to come online to paint him black for a failed delivery which could have happened due to unforeseen circumstances. So I considered your issue with him as a temporary set back he can quickly correct, little did I know it was deeply rooted in his nature. I imported a Howo truck from China an gave this guy to manage on 24th October 2019. Although the truck had an accident when an amature was moving it to another terminal for clearing, hence he had to tow it to his base. I paid for the towing, transferred a lot of money to him to fix it, and for more than a month and half this guy keep saying that he was repairing the truck to bring it to the standard he wants, to ensure it will be reliable for his use. The money I sent for the repair of the truck was within the first 2 weeks from 24th October, and those repairs were clear and the parts receipted. For the next one month, he kept claiming he didn't want to bother me, and that he's shouldering the expenses for the repair to bring the truck to his standard, always insisting the truck hasn't started working. Finally, he accepted the truck started working on 9th of December, and that he would pay me on 13th since our agreement is on weekly payment. He also confirmed to me at the end of that week that the truck worked very well that week but gave no reason why he didn't pay me on Friday as the agreement stipulated. By evening of Monday 16th, of the following week, he picked my call and said he was going home and would pay when he got home. By Tuesday I called and told him to move my truck to Lagos from Abeokuta so another person can take it over, that I was fed up with his lies. That was the last I heard from the guy even as I write. Most time his number doesn't go, sometimes it does without him picking. I've sent WhatsApp and he isn't responding, I've also noticed he stop visiting nairaland. I was concerned that something might have happened to him, maybe one of his debtors arrested him, until I called segzy this morning and he confirmed he mistakenly picked his call 2days ago thinking he was a client waiting for him for delivery. Hence, I decided to take an action by warning other prospective innocent clients from falling prey to this fraudster. I sure will further follow up by sending the Police/EFCC after him to retrieve my truck and all he owe me. Its indeed a horrible experience but one that comes with doing business in Nigeria, I hope I don't get involve with this kind of fellow again. 7 Likes 1 Share |

@kenosym, your type is rare sir. You still gave him a much needed second chance to pick himself back up and gradually sort old issues but he still did the same to his helper. You will get your dues back because your intent was to help a total stranger back on his feet. |
