Good question. Bro, your head is correct. It has never occurred to me about the likelihood of the glass making the interior to be warm. Most of the glass houses I have been to are on ACs all the time which I cant afford. undecided

This is a valid point you made. Lets wait for our engineers to see if there is/are way(s) of keeping the interior cool.

Honestly, I don't know how the coolness of the inside could be maintained without using AC all the time. It is just that I love seeing the outside environment through a clear glass. Definitely, glass will be absorbing heat inside the house - that is the downside of it.

some windows I've seen n used to regulate your space are always double glazed with argon gas n some other unknown stuffs. it can at least regulate your space up till 4hrs after putting off your a.c by not allowing external weather get in n vice versa. the clients imported them from italy though

Is it better to run pipes underground passing through the room linking outside to the sockaway or let the pipe pass outside the normal way exposed.

I'm just scared of the 6inch pipes underground years later having any issues that will warrant the pipes to be pulled out, thereby destroying the tiles to get access to the pipe

With quality pipes, you have no worries. Exposed is ok if you feel it does not disfigure the building.

Smiles. Nairaland is such a funny community. You talk, they’ll attack you. You keep mute to have a clear understanding of what’s happening, they’ll still have something against you.

Na here we dey when I invited my junior folk who’s a police officer to help me handle a “omo onile” issue on one of my client site, the clients rep took picture and the client started sharing it on nairaland that police has arrested me. grin grin
You need evidence. I’ll present 100s within the shortest time possible including the person who took the picture; the name of the officer in the picture even his office. grin.
A liar (whether homeowner or landowner, diasporan or resident, local or foreigner, rich or above average) will do anything to make his/her lies look presentable.

Here’s the thing:

A userid that you don’t know and has never had any dealings with you raised an allegation against you. The first thing to do is not to offer explanation but to investigate the issue.

You need to know who is accusing you; his motivation and prepare your defense before you start talking like a parrot.

Unfortunately, on the same day the allegation was raised, n3xt and brabusng ID were banned. Nairaland ban takes 24 hours. Nairaland admins can confirm this.

So how can you deny or offer explanation on something you don’t even understand and coming from userid who you’re just e-meeting for the first time.

Now, let’s accept n3xt beat about the bush for 48 hours and take it as the right thing to attack. Do you feel good supporting someone who raised an allegation of fraud without a proof? A simple Yes or No response will suffice here.

It’s almost 2 weeks that we have been trying to substantiate a baseless accusation (a usual tradition here) and guess what it’s still the accused who get bashed for not defending himself. grin (the usual naija jungle justice tradition)

@Dijita Sir, may I ask for the 100th time to help us ask the accuser to explain how brabus defrauded him and present facts and not some stories.

Why the high expectation, why must people speak ur own type of English in other to pass the message across. People digest information differently and at different pace .He answer when he feels it's suitable and gave explanation according to his knowledge. Let the accuser come and put up further evidence to this accusation . Being judgemental is not going be fair . I remember the case of the tile guy , when it was brought forward by the house owner few months ago , yes his first answer to the buyer wasn't good enough but he kept pleading on that particular transaction to be revisited, he was willing to make amend by either replacing or refund but houseowner said he is not accepting it but will only keep labeling him a scammer. Its a business gone wrong but seller was ready to amend as he continued to plead . I'm a business woman and been in Oil sector,challenges comes whereby customer rejects goods based on quality and sometimes the indian and Lebanese play politics with my goods . I lose my temper and voiced out cos i hv been pushed to the wall . I wont just pick up the goods and leave the factory immediately ,if i attempts to drives off with the goods , i hv automatically lost 1m from cost price . So people should step it down sometimes with sellers too . Refund and replacement is not cheap . Its hard on the seller and time should be given to them to do the needful.
Dijita:


I Personally commend and appreciate everyone contributing to this page. It is very beneficial to all of us both clients and contractors. It is however not a free bee. It is a market place where people sell to and buy from people they have not met. It is important for us both buyer and seller to protect it. It is not enough to be honest, one must be seen to be honest
I got on Next case because he is an authoritative voice in the forum. When someone level a serious accusation against him and instead of categorically denying the accusation or offer a coherent explanation he was just beating about the bush. Not until 48hrs after that he was able to respond with a defense. The guy with the broken bathroom fittings follow the same pattern he was trying to pick a fight with the accuser instead of defending his name first. People practically drag it out of him before he could say that he has offered to make the accusing client whole since last year. Shouldn't that be the first response to the accuser post?
May be it is a Nigerian thing. Where I am when people level accusation against you the first thing is to deny it or offer an explanation before picking a fight with the accuser
Next could have handle the situation better if he had said; guys I have done business with many people over time and have had disagreement with two or three or thereabout but I didn't owed anyone 3million or promised to repay such to anyone. Please give me time to investigate and I will keep you guys updated.

Hey bro, I be Nigerian with a difference and I appreciate you and all others doing great stuffs on here. Keep up the good work.

I understand the huge risks and challenge of your business even when you try to do everything to make things go smooth and I can only give you few advice on how to avoid issues with your clients in the future.
The best we can do for ourselves is to equip each other with knowledge on how to become a better businessman. This is for those who have something to offer and not the wannabes.

I’d encourage you to up your game by working with reputable logistics company to handle your deliveries to other states.
The logistics company pays for damages if there are any issue with the product while it was being transported to your client. It’s comes at extra cost but be upfront with your client and let them make a choice.

Don’t take too much on yourself! You’re not a transporter and I’m sure you’re not equipped for it. Find reliable company to work with and make your client smile all the time.

I once paid 25k to transport a window from Lagos to Ibadan, the driver decided to load more package with the window and ended up scratching the glass. He decided to deliver it late at night when no one would see the scratch.

Buy a van if necessary to serve your repeat customers better. You’re doing well bro!


I notice what you’re doing. It matters a lot. Well done!

I think there's a glass company in Lagos that claims to sell gas filled double glazed glass iirc. If that's too expensive, double glazing without gas is very DIY friendly and should be the minimum. With that said, my apartment has gas filled double glazed windows all round and it gets crazy hot in the summer here in the Midwest reaching 90 degrees. I usually still run the AC all day during the summer.

Thanks for handling the concrete works of my Sagamu project.

Yes. I did read and witness the turmoil of 2014-2016 that has been alluded to here. But in his " An Essay on Criticism" Alexander Pope says: To err is human, to forgive is divine."

While someone was scared by non response for 24 hours , I was emboldened by no rebuttal after N3XT eventually came out.

Double glazing is more about preventing heat loss to the environment and sound proofing. Double glazing will not prevent your room from heating up during summer. In fact, it will aid it.

Partially correct but misleading. Double glazing prevents heat transfer between the outside and the inside. Yes, heat generated inside will be trapped inside with double glazing but it's important to know that far more heat is generated outside by the sun than inside. So the aim is to prevent heat transfer from the outside while also trapping the cool air from AC inside and thus saving you energy costs.

It's good both ways winter and summer.
