dam4sam: The filtration system in the picture is about $60 and the replacement filter is about $30. Depending on the size of your family you can get smaller one. Also I bought this close to 10 years now. There are modern systems in the market I bought it from home Depot. 1 Like |

sako28: Using 3/8 with granite is not a strong mind to use for decking. As much as it's not an acceptable construction engineering practice to us it's one way of application of construction engineering knowledge. In certain riverine communities where there is no bridge linkage you'll find such practice. Just imagine how much one spends using pontoon to ferry across trucks loaded with granite. On a different scale it's like using same 3/8 to mould interlocking stones. Though there's a particular type of the 3/8 for that purpose and those who do it know the right mix to use. |

Chekitaut: They are called Obi Akpo boys. They are the devil u need to dine and wine with build in PHC. some people build Sundays to avoid them. @bixton, building in PHC is not that expensive, it is achievable. Apart from chippings, window materials and labour all other things are almost same.p 1 Like |

sako28: At the bold it's spelt "Obio Akpor". Most persons building on Sunday probably do not have their plans registered at the LGA office and proper receipts. I have built around Mgbogba- Location axis, Ogbogoro axis, Woji axis with proper documentation all this fall under LGA. In the instance the client wants to do a by-pass I just get in touch with one senior man that controls the area and all is sorted out. 1 Like |

n3xt:I think labour is more expensive in South South than south west (except Lagos maybe). Bricklayer ₦5000, mixer/helpers ₦3000 cheapest rate. |

yinkaoke: Speaking for myself, black floor tiles are a no no for me as they absorb all the light and make the room (living) heavy and oppressive. For me, nothing beats cream floor tiles as they make the room light and airy. Cream floor tiles are universal acceptors of soft and hard furnishing, unlike black tiles that are choosey and can be very specific regarding complementary secondary colours. But if you have a thing or two for black tiles; why not, maybe not all black through and through. A pattern black may do as well. 1 Like

yinkaoke: Hello! I would suggest you go for a wooden floor! Then you can paint your living room with Cream and White : Shades of cream will help warm up the whites in your space while keeping it light and bright. However if you still intend on using Tile! (Use Mixture of Black & cream Tile) Tilers would understand the Settings Better °•°

yinkaoke: Tile Colour: Mixture of Black & Cream Design: The black tiles would be like a centre Design surrounded by the cream! They Are Special Tiles like that (Tile sellers! Would have such tiles & Tilers understand such settings) If you don't Understand! You can Ask More Questions! Am an Interior Designer. Wooden Floor would Potray More Beauty of your Living Room Tho! 1 Like 1 Share

Chekitaut: Apologies for what happened back then. As a first rule to every site I go especially where I'm not known whoever asks who is the engineer will never find him. I will always present myself as working for the engineer to receive their message on his behalf or get one of the senior artisans to stand in and never reveal my identity. I've had a couple of clients who remained anonymous even when coming to the site but always find a way to give out drinks to people around so most times I have drinks to even give some of these fellows who come around to disturb. Just a pre-measure to rub minds and cool tempers. 1 Like |
