sonnie10: We have only few people in the whole of this nation who are into this. It’s great biz idea, even to buy automatic kiln to dry the wood is achievable and it’s doesn’t cost to much money. But the issue and fair is that. - how many people can afford treated wood . Let’s say 2*2 plank for N700 etc - low patronages -most furniture guys now a very lazy they can’t work on wood to give superb finishing surface instead of that they will go for HDF, MDF boards. - most Home owner now go for China, Turkish made doors and come to think of it, they are just looking fantastic but not durable as before. -etc 1 Like

rotecch77:E hmmm. This is what I was suggesting earlier . But my ogas said the curing process cannot be rushed. I am sure ordinarily old fashioned brick oven for bread could be used as well if the temperature is controlled right. |

sonnie10: The kiln method can take like 2-7days The others method are as follow - Air drying: this take a longer period of time, during the dry season it can take like 30-50days -Chemical seasoning ; this take few days also( new technology) -Microwave seasoning -Solar drying; So it depends on the type of seasoning you are going for. |

sonnie10: This is an industry that I intend to go into later on so I did a fair amount of research some years back. Sure you can buy ovens and all but the best and least intrusive method is to let the timber dry naturally. You’ll have a stock of timber’s strategically laid out in a yard. You’ll just test for moisture periodically and select those timber’s that pass the test for milling. One of the first things I entertain in new business is how reliant it is on electricity. I don’t want any business that’ll require too much diesel purchase. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2:if you have the funds, go into the industry. Few weeks ago, I was told to buy wooden doors for a client. I couldn't because the furniture maker couldn't guarantee the time of delivery. His main reason was the unavailability of dry wood |

EgunMogaji2: I tried going into exportation of these woods few years ago with my roofer Nnamdi. Drying naturally is the best. I'll share pictures of some sites near me where people are exporting these woods to china in 20 and 40ft containers. 1 Like |

In my opinion and from experience using it, no difference. I know a lot have almost limited it to block making only, but i don't agree with that. As far as it is a portland cement I can use it for casting and allow it the extra time it may require for curing. You as a builder should be able to tell us better. Pls let's know when you have it available to supply, I will happily take some for both block making and concrete works. What is the selling price to location? n3xt: 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2: This is super cool. I never thought of this. Watch me integrate it into my galvanized tank tower design. _____ This detachable tank tower that I did in 2013 inspired me to propose the integrated tank tower to my client. The idea is to build a gigantic tank tower without the unsightly look. The tower part will become the stairwell inside the building, then manhole and all... Everything will be bolted and not welded Being jobless is a good thing in naija ![]() ![]() _____ Something cool is coming to Oshodi/Isolo, Lagos NG.
