Are these products not related to construction?

I pulled this from the first page of this thread

"Note: Please no products or services advertisements... there are plenty of other threads for that already. No buying and selling on this thread"


No advert means no advert. anyone who will look away when some people put up their advert here and ask someone else not to put up one here is not being fair.

If you dig well, you’ll discover more than you are looking for.

The best thing to do sometimes is to look and take a pass on a public forum.

Someone else who did not read page 1 or page 2016 where this issue was thrashed will still advertise his firewood business on this thread and we still be here again to talk about it.

The guy was sleeping jeje. Na we invite am to the party grin grin

We wanted enlightment on solar energy and the OP tag the guy who seem to be an expert on the subject

https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1607#93899318

Instead of enlightment, we got more than we asked for. I remember Jabolo pointing to this here: https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1609#93907291
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 5:11pm On Feb 20, 2021
Prior to page 1607, this guy had no single post on this thread.

We empowered him by looking away from the issue Jabolo raised on page 1609.

There are many other people showcasing their product and services here without issues but this is just completely off tangent.

For issues like the above, we have varieties of options for our users on kobocity.

We believe you’re there for construction related discussions and not to act as a forum police.

Here are the available options:

1. Moderators Warning (is displayed live on the reported user IDs posts). Everyone gets to see the warning message and why he was been cautioned.

2. You can ignore users.

3. Spam Filter (my oga admin hasn’t explained this interesting function to me).

Our job is to set the stage and watch for things that undermine result.

Those solar panels on our roofing sheets are useless without those batteries. Battery is a key component in modern building and more friendly to earth.

He should just alter his post and remove the auto battery and replace it with solar battery, it's as good as someone advertising CCTV here that also need a backup power supply incase NEPA take light.

I just click report button and move on. At least I won’t get to read the stupid ads anymore as it’ll be hidden.

Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria. Not Buhari, Tinumbu, or any other figment of imagination.

smart and pennywise people won't use 17-19m to buy 1 bedroom flat cos of location

They will rather look for a land closer and start building. instalmental payment plan is another trick these people use to scam us, selling house I can build with 4m 10m say wetin?

Another headache is sharing plats with different set of people(I pray your flat isn't next to these Yahoo boys). I have been asked several times why I don't live with tenants even tho there is space for it. The answer is; I don't like DRAMA. grin

Please should I be worried, infact am worried my soakaway was not blinded before blocks were set on the normal ground/soil up to 6 coaches with iron rods at the four edges, just like dat on a bare soil and no hole was dug in the middle to absorb water, just pipes inside the blocks facing the soil and no beam around it too except it's going to be for the top floor before the decking.

Will water going inside make the 6" blocks too weak and later collapse because it was not blinded at the ground level, the soil there is hard clay at 6ft depth.

Since it's just 6coaches of blocks set I want to make the right decision and not regret it later

May I?

1) I prefer to have a direct view of the courtyard from the living room instead of the dining.

2) My guests have no business seeing how I access the private area so I prefer my staircase hidden. Some prefer it exposed especially if it makes an artistic statement.

3) Madams bedroom? How about Main bedroom if master is a dirty word to your client grin

Mostly nit picking though.

Thanks sir. My client is reading this and I’m equally taking note.

If we were to rank contemporary lovers, I think my client will fall into the pro max level and I really enjoyed that.

May I ask if adding a sliding glass wall as shown in the inspiration pics below will fix the living room + courtyard flow? #JustAsking

For new members please peruse this thread to see what’s possible. I believe the house ended up being featured on a TV show. I also believe that the windows were all imported but I may be confusing that with another build.
