EgunMogaji2: I understand u sir, all am saying is that is expensive to use it for roofing sir According to Google this wood masonia is best for the below applications The wood (trade names: mansonia, bété, African black walnut, pruno) is used for general and high-class joinery, cabinet work, furniture, turnery, decorative veneer and handicrafts. It is also used in construction for doors and windows, in railway coaches and shop fittings, and for boxes and crates Location Ibadan Thanks Sorry for late respond, I was busy sir 1 Share

n3xt: Since it's still in design phase and if it's a contemporary build and roof system going with a pent house. I think what I said should be okay. Do your structural to be able to hold a concrete tank on that section after the decking slab. The quantity of water to use daily should be ascertained so as to determined the height/width/length of the tank. 1 Like |

michlins: Every business has its own tricks o. Buying the equipment won’t guarantee you high ROI but understanding the tricks and knowing how to swim with the sharks. _____ A lot of people (especially diaspora) jumped into trucking and haulage business because they were told it’s a money spinner. Years later, they regretted it. Yet one local man Chekitaut has been in the game for decade + and he’s still waxing strong. 2 Likes |

bixton: I’ve done all these before coming here. I mean trying to create a solution for a problem that’s really not there. These type of problems are exactly what led me to having 5 entrance/exits (a potential source of security breach) in my personal build. Some design features are nice-to-have but we try to make them a must-have. |

@Egunmogaji2 You can check (Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria) FRIN behind Aleshinloye market. I think they have the right equipment for drying woods and a very great laboratory. My dad retired from there. |

n3xt: Sapele water means local gin(ogogoro or kai-kai or original). The strongest type is used to mix with certain roots/herbs to cure certain ailments. Just one shot of the original will determine the degree of mental carriage. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

bixton: The access is through the main building. Here’s the flow: - You enter right the from main entrance or the kitchen. - Go through the staircase to the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms and a family lounge. - Go on another staircase leading to the master suite and the terrace on the pent floor. - From there you get access to the tank. ________ I won’t advice or commit a dedicated staircase to this because it’s not worth it. Talking about security breach ![]() May the answer not be that he came to fix a plumbing leak. Just imagine having to open/gain access to all of the main building because of water problem in the BQ. I always take into consideration all these small issues in my designs. The client might ask for it but my job is to work with him to help him make the right choice. 2 Likes |

n3xt:you played two entirely different scenario and so can't be compared. Building a bungalow from diaspora is like building a duplex from Nigeria because everyone will want to spend your dollar including people who didn't work for it. They will bill you tire. Baba chekitaut is waxing stronger because he manages his trucks from home and is ready to roll in the mud with the driver if he ever tries nonsense. Abroad people no get that luxury. Having said that,if you venture in this wood drying business, you need area with good power supply and must be close to the market. You can't site it in Nnewi because everyone buys iron doors. But Lagos has high demand for wooden doors so take it close to them. You see that company, you must be present daily in it to avoid your workers taking the funds home and sending you the bills and salary to pay. Then you need to have access to woods on steady 6 Likes |

mountmoriah: yeah I got your point bro... both Lagosian and ibadan people too always come down here to buy woods from us that's why the price must not the same.so it's business. |
