jiday4: Option 2: Dilute large amounts of Salt in warm water (let it be highly concentrated) and flush down the Toilet Seat and Kitchen Sinks. And please, be careful with that thing called Sniper, wash your hands after use and keep out of reach of children. It is always associated with bad stories. ![]() 6 Likes |

lastpage: The thieves in such neighbourhood won't be the neighbours themselves but the domestic staff, especially in a country where many are underpaid, owed for several months and feed many unemployed relations and friends. Is that not why one should work to expand the zones of comfort in the environment through charities focused on education, healthcare, lawfulness, poverty reduction through private sector industries and enterprises? Does that not reflect why bigger parts of oyinbo cities are crime free than ours? www.nairaland.com/attachments/3401521_cannoteatmoney_jpegaebb2a352ae295fc9aa7a61c24b4203c 2 Likes 1 Share |

lastpage: That’s the idea! The idea is to invite natural light light into the space and seamlessly blend it into the garden with adequate defense/anti-mosquitoes and minimal distraction. Same burglar proof design double as a protector, anti-mosquito net frame, and seemless transformation of an everyday room into a contemporary space. I intend using day/night window blind net to minimize distractions. The end goal is to have something like pic 1 below. ______ Note: Bi-folding won’t require a track as the size is too small to have any adverse on the door/window but a multi-fold will definitely require a track and rollers. 1 Like 1 Share

diordaves: Thank you for trying to bring me back on track, because you're keen on discussing business while am discussing family on the same subject. Where is the problem? Did the moderator limit it to just business? What happened to humour in a topic. And when next you post, try hard to do it without a mockery of others, your voice would still be heard. 2 Likes |

michlins: My brother there are many materials used as bulletproof/ bullet resistance The best and old materials is KEVLER its a synthetic fiber materials. And others like acrylic, polycarbonate, steel (of high thickness) and Africa locally made “ayeeta” don't ask me this oo So not only steel can used as bulletproof materials But the best bulletproof is ALMIGHTY GOD PROTECTION 4 Likes |

rotecch77: To a large extent, I think I’ve explored and used a lot of these materials. I even went as far as talking to Hammerglass in Sweden for fortified glass but what I’ve found out is that all these solutions are not a guarantee against burglary. They can only serve as deterrent. An armoured door without a BinLaden fortified building is just as good as having a normal door. When armed robbers attacked one of the new generation banks, they break-in through the wall and not the doors. God is the surest protection. 2 Likes |

BrabusNG:Simple! Even local village burglars no longer check if your door can be breached or not, they just knock down your wall and do their thing |

write2obi: I did a project here and we were looking at spending about N15m in 2015 to import fortified glass only. We will fabricate the frames here. I told the client “There’s no sense in this no matter how hard you try to convince me. We want to put a N20m window in a house where we used N150 naira block.” That was the end of the story! 1 Like |

freezyprinzy: --Contrary to the opinions, I don't think this is too much. Did he give this quote after the woodwork has been completed? If no, then it might not be totally correct. --Classic tiles of 3800 per sqm is NOT expensive depending on the TYPE of product. There are even some sold for 5500 - 6000 per sqm. If anyone says it's too much without asking for type of product is wrong. 1 Like |

I was offered Dangote direct from the truck @ N,2700 on friday but I DECLINED. This morning, I've been offered Lafarge from the truck @ N,2500 and will take it for keeps. From my experience in the last week alone and operating in Lekki Lagos, there is no scarcity but there might be price gouging particularly with Dangote. BrabusNG: 1 Like |

BrabusNG: Yes it’s ONLY GOD that can protect us but then let’s things outside the box if Incase of stray bullet or accidental discharge the door can still be of help. Not only about thief this time around. But in all why bulletproof door Why burglar bars Why gbetugbetu, akaraba, otumopo Most advance countries usually do without all these in most cases, I stand to be corrected.

valencia2012: Did I mock anyone? Did my post come across as mockery? I think you took my light heartedness the wrong way and this may have been "lost in translation". I'm with you on this. It is one's personal project and one can design it to fit one's lifestyle. This is what I'm trying to convey. Why should I mock a multi million Naira project or someone consolidating. I owe you the next round. |
