I’m trying to decide what kind of 4” pipe I’m to use for my plumbing work. The grey colored pipe with yellow tin line (naija) or the blue one. I’d love to know the difference tho I noticed the blue one is longer than the grey colored pipe. erico2k2:Thats why I’ve decided to wait till there’s a reduction in the price.

davodyguy: wall screed 2m, damn there is a very very cheap way to achieve dat with less than 50k (depending on the size of your project) and to me its best, becos it does not peel off after sometime like that of top bond nd pop combination in south here, its called plaster screeding, WHY because, its goes along with your plastering as soon as the walls is plastered and allowed to dry (to the point if you apply force on it won't spoil the job) you mix few quantity of pop cement with water nd add a little quantity of black cement nd stir properly use a screeding brush to apply the solution on your plastered walls and smooth with sand paper wen dry its very beautiful (very smooth nd cellophane like walls) its the cheapest method you can get nd it last longer than top bond method which paints usually peels off on most occasions I used just one bag of pop cement for both inside, outside, and parapet screeding for my 4bedroom bungalow with labour not up to 40k. It was done by those doing the plastering the attacted fence including the four sides inside fence walls (100 by 50) was done with half bag of pop cement. labour was less than 30k. 13 Likes 8 Shares

JustCryptos:If the owner is up to it, why not. I've been told countless times by diasporas who paint their houses abroad. I started believing when my friend told me that courtesy of YouTube, he changes his car engine oil and do several things he paid to have done while in Nigeria. It would not be practical in a multi storey building. Especially the external. 1 Like |

gameboy55:This here is something that would work. The pop cement slurry would set together with the cement plaster and it has a surface that is soft to be sandpapered. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 10:11pm On Dec 12, 2020 |
davodyguy:I don't do application and from the description, it would have to be done by the people doing the plastering because it must still be workable and not totally set. |

gbadexy:We would try it definitely for fencing. Material and Labor for Screeding my building has cost us over ₦2m if not more Pop Cement, Top bond, Pop Emulsion Paint, Fillers, binding wire, marine board cost cost over ₦1.6m. Labour is over ₦700k. 6 months ago, we would have spent half of this amount for same job when POP cement cost just ₦4000 |

n3xt: But the N4,000 per square meter for POP includes labour cost and all associated cost. But the price you quoted (N27,000) plasterboard is just for the plasterboard only. You still need installation materials cost, screeding (finishing) materials and labour cost. By the time you factor these in, the cost difference may not be as clear cut. We've been here before just recently. So to get a clearer perspective, how much will YOU charge per square meter using plasterboard? Or better put; how much do YOU charge using plasterboard? Give this figure and if the price is truly cheaper, I'm sure a Nairalander may take up your quote and come back to give a rating. So come out transparently and quote jobs using plasterboard as an alternative. Only then can you kill off the debate. Same for the adhesive brand your are 'promoting'. 6 Likes 1 Share |
