ceelog: From my experience working with gbadexy, I just primed the walls and painted. The intended outcome was achieved. The priming was applicable to the external walls, fence and internal walls as well. This was cost-effective for me. It wasn't necessary for me to screed. It should be noted that this a rented property. The option may be different if it's a personal or retirement property but I don't think I will screed but you never know. I focus more on the plaster job from the start instead of patching a poor plaster job with screeding. 2 Likes 1 Share

You are smart! I experienced this at one of my brother's project at Ibadan(elebu area), during the casting, the iron bender stole some 12 and 16mm rod and hide it at the edge of the nest building fence! We left there LTE that day and I was there early nest morning, I recovered all this rod and I told my uncle should get someone else for the job. Thief everywhere! ![]() DancingSkeleton: 1 Like |

n3xt: I am still trying to figure-out what you mean happened in 2014? Are you referring to issues you had with people like @Qc1 issues? @Maverick issues?, @Brag3 issues?, @EuroMillion issues?, @3Strike issues? Except you are very specific, l am lost. BTW, DIY is not just about saving money alone, it is also about empowering yourself to be able to do things yourself but even more about the FREEDOM and the KNOWLEDGE you gain, gives you to use at any time you want. I keep learning new things everyday. So many Women, my own wife inclusive, can service their Car, changing filters and replacing Oils, using the right equipments, with a little help from YouTube. Buying a Car by yourself, is not a rocket Science, in these day and age of Google, Online Dealership Displays, not to mention that anyone can walk-into a Shop and the Assistant is there to help you out. I have been buying cars since l bought the first one wayback in 1992 and have lost count, l still bought one just before the Lockdown in March. So, whats the big deal here? ![]() 8 Likes |

This stealing of a thing is in a typical Nigerian man(the one close to us are artisans), everybody are looking for shortcut to live big. That’s why I stick to my Engineer, his service charge and that of his work craft( Bricklayer, carpenter, iron bender etc) is higher than what I see on nairaland but belief me my engineer will drop your last kobo for you. He will use best practice to reduce cost. So I don’t experience all this stealing of a thing. I sleep well when am home and I concentrate on my job at office while job is ongoing at my site. This is the second house my Engineer is building for me and his honest and trust is second to none. 3 Likes |

omanzo02: We’ve not had cement from Ewekoro in weeks until today and the guys are still coming back tomorrow as we’re planning to kick off Phase 2 of our project next week. That’s a good one if we are getting cement from Sagamu and Ewekoro plant. All my guys got at least a truck load of cement between yesterday and this evening. Lemme kuku say “Better Months Ahead ![]() |

omanzo02: Even FG project is on hold. ![]() I was shocked when I saw what’s left inside our store yesterday. _____ The real issue is there are too many ongoing projects. People are seriously buying despite the price increase. According to stats, Lafarge made more sales during this crisis. Even the Channel Partners. Despite the scarcity, I’ve received over 13 trailers between Nov and Dec.

n3xt: What happened to FG executive order to get priority supplies? If you can get lorry load I bet this is your chance to hustle for them but getting paid will be a herculean task. Capital and profit will go into bribe for processing and signatures. |
