Please I noticed most of the shower floors in Nigeria are not tiled with unglazed porcelain mosaic tiles. Apart from cost, is there any other reason this type of tile is not used for our shower floors in Nigeria? |

Badgers14: I am surprised! Beautiful carpet grasses hides the beauty of house? Is it concrete that shows the beauty? Nothing beats a well maintained lawn and flower plants in any build environment. Over "concretization" of build surroundings in Nigeria is making it seems normal. Anyway, every mallam to his own kettle. Green scenery anytime, any day for me. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BrabusNG: Golden words you typed. While I don’t hire from here as a matter of policy (I support my local community) I do recommend people from here to others that are in their zone of operations. And I do so vigorously because of my believe in a new Nigeria. I feel sorry for any serious business owner on here that’s truly looking for business that allows his brand to get involved in beer parlor gists and personal vendettas that’s been brewing here probably while they’re still carrying poun poun under some Oga. The world is a small place now. Based on my persona on here (good/bad/indifference) I get a lot of offline contact that seeks opinion on artisans on here. Some I recommend and some I just answer that they should dig into the archives. A lot of the blowhards that goad the business brands on are doing so anonymously and thus have nothing to loose. Are you here to turn ten cents to fifty or you’re here for beer parlor brouhaha? 1 Like |

You can't compare the beauty an aesthetic lawn and flowers will add to the beauty of the house to that of concrete. Majority of people like natural grass and it's smoothness but the maintenance is what we lack as a nation and individual. There is life in nature... |

Gloriouspa: My brother man, I see where you are coming from but I have tried to love this thing but I can't.. people do go crazy for them tho and that's alright but for me nah nah.. it is not even about maintaining them, even if they are well maintained, that won't change my mind. I love green space, I have green fingers and all but my love for greenery does not include love for creepy creeping grass |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Badgers14: 10:27am On Sep 16, 2020 |
Gloriouspa: What kind of grass is recommended for Nigerian weather? I mean, if I am looking at getting a new lawn, what kind of grass should I be looking at? |

You are very correct. As much as you can, folks should not fall for the artificial scarcity. Plan and wait if you can and it doesn't impact your project schedule, otherwise we indirectly contribute to the pressure of demand vs supply. Lafarge, which is even not as readily available as Dangote on a good day, still delivered to us @ N2,500 yesterday. We will adjust our schedule to wait for the next truck delivery whenever they are willing to sell at same price. We have decided to pace our project and will not fall for the trap to buy cement @ 2700 or 3k unless there is an official price increase from manufacturer (which is not the case just yet). The rains are here and projects will slow down. Demand will reduce and lead to a supply glut, thereby keeping price the same... all things being equal. Cheers. loffers: 2 Likes |

Badgers14: There are few grasses here and the common name for them are Portharcourt grass, water grass and carpet grass. The most rugged among them is the Portharcourt one. The common name for it here is Portharcourt. It is rugged and can withstand harsh weather and if not we'll watered during the day season it will survive till next raining season. |
