Focusmind: Damn! That is a real bad contractor and you should deal with him squarely. I hate those who like to mess-up others. That will be very good if the Con-man is exposed. We will love to see this, so that others will not fall into his trap. Please keep us posted. Hajji M. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks for your response. And yes, this work you posted is done well and that's the kind of finish we will be hoping for. Concerning materials, on our side we will try to source your recommended type/nature of sand, even if it means going out of the way and/or paying a premium. Infact, we have received two different batches of plaster sand for trials to compare the results. So that brings us to the next question...since you mentioned that workmanship is the other key factor,do you still have the same set of guys in your team or on call-out? How consistent can this be achieved? Being a past job,how certain we can get same in future (job is about one month away)? This is a very good job, and if we can have anything close to this we will be happy. You'll sure be getting a follow up. rotecch77: |

Good morning great people. For personal building, what's the difference between using 0.45 and 0.55 longspan alumininium? Does it have anything to do with susceptibility to leaking? |

mufutau55: Thank you Hajji, our investigation on tracking him has reached an advanced stage. He has been posting me for more than three weeks. My SARS friend in Egbada had already obtained all his contacts from the network he uses and the bank. He may run but will surely be caught. I don't give room for frivolities - If you do any how, you see any how. Thank God that I am not spending money to track him down as the officer in Abuja that linked me to the Lagos SARS office was my secondary school mate and works directly in the IGs office. So, he is getting weekly updates on the matter making the SARS officers here to be up and doing. Two nairalanders have done marvelous works for me before. I can mention Dominionng, may be without his permission. He did an excellent roof facial and eaves facial works using his popularized galvanized iron instead of wood and fiber cement board. A nairaland also roofed the house. Here I am stocked with one crook that continues to profess "Godliness" and yet behaves like a con - man. I paid him to supply the additional large windows I told you about after collecting the money and disappeared. I blame myself because I saw the red flags but believed him because of his postings here. I will soon expose him as I am bidding my time and following the advise I got from the criminal investigation of SARS that I should hold on with further communication. - 3 Likes |

mank1234: This your calculation is very wrong sir Let me school you 100/100 That is 100 feet into 4 which is 400multiply by 12 a feet is 12 inches this will give you 4800 . Now divided 4800 by 18inches which is the length of a block it will give you 266.7 . Then multiply by 4 course = 1066.8 with mortar but buy 1600. Even if you calculate it with meters like what you said 30m into 4 is 120m . 2 block with mortar will give you 1 meter so 120*2 is going to give you 240 * 4 = 960 blocks 1 Like |

mank1234: the difference is in the thickness, one is thicker than the other, it's not as if 0.45 is a bad choice. if you have the fund, use .55 it will give you the assurance that you buy the best. N.B ...... use professional installer for the installations 1 Like |

Focusmind: Thank you for the update sir. Please come back to expose him after he has been nabbed. We should not allow theives in our community here. And we thought we have exponged all the bad apples. God will sure catch him. Money is not an easy thing gather... he will fall. When caught, please dont be too emotional, let the SARS guy deal with him ruthlessly. As said before, we do have good people here and I have also engaged numerous Nairalanders here, but there are still some rotten apples trolling around. So we have to do real dilligence before we make any business with them. May Gos expose all of them one by one. Thanks for the updates, keep us informed. Hajji M. 5 Likes |

Hi, I am planning to do this type of door in which the photo is attached below to my house. Just to be economical, I planned to buy the materials myself. Measurement photos attached as well. Kindly list the present market materials prices which include HDF boards and keys. Pls, how much do you think the furniture should charge for each door because the guy was asking me to pay 15k for each after buying all the materials for him? Thank you
