erico2k2: I actually went up but straight into the roof with a double volume room. I’m having a similar design in my current build. From outside you’re seeing a storey building but inside is 3 levels. 1 Like 1 Share |

uncleteeh:the cast in-situ concrete fascia (parapet) is preferable by me , I belief it will last longer and better and that's what I want , want to see and monitor the way each job is done myself |

micgray100: You are right. I am not an interior designer but once I see an eye - catching design, I know. I could as well create my own design from scratch. n3xt is excellent with minimal designs - both interior and exterior. The more lean a POP or TV stand is, the more appealing ambience it radiates. Well, each to his own. What you may consider grotesque may be a pride to someone else. 3 Likes |

Focusmind: This is why I keep kwayet. I’m very minimalistic so for me “less is more”. Not really a fan of too much flash. Am I watching TV or a trance inducing light show? 5 Likes

Good morning Nairalanders, Happy new month. I have been away for some period due to job assignment. I hope you are all doing fine. Please I need help in evaluating this quotation for the plumbing work . 4 full bathrooms and one visitor's bathroom and a kitchen. Thank you all for your help

EgunMogaji2: Grand Khandi, you know, I borrowed your words in that last paragraph you quoted. ![]() If it is not simple, then it is not worth it for me. By the way, these pictures are breath-taking. The problem is getting the person with the right tools and detailing to replicate the internet pictures. It is always difficult. What you ordered Vs. What you got always has a wide difference. Any way, there are still fantastic guys doing beautiful stuffs. 4 Likes |

n3xt: I agree with u that it could be more challenging to get approval within an estate compared to the state ....because am presently going through the process of adjusting and amending drawings ..... mine estate just shortly before the Ajah flyover bridge.... same estate as urs?? Anyway, if u could throw more light on the double volume room, it could be very helpful. Thanks |

Focusmind: Hence why I took up welding and rekindled my woodworking. I’ll probably never build a stanchion or gate but will fabricate little pieces. 2 Likes |

Jasobry:It’s imported and assembled. I just did something similar but for bathroom |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Jasobry: 3:46pm On Mar 12, 2021 |
sonnie10: Please can you share details? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 3:53pm On Mar 12, 2021 |
Jasobry: Give me about an hour to get the picture.. Buy the aluminum rail components and they will cut it to size. The glass comes in different design size The handle also must be included. Some people sell them as set, but considered if that would give you a discount compared with buying individual parts. Also be careful to get matching colors or tone of the metal if you plan on getting them separately. You can get them on eBay, Amazon, alibaba, Orile building materials market. Budget 200k or more

akinola98: Not the same estate but I know the estate you’re talking about and their deed restrictions. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Horlardorjah(m): 5:34pm On Mar 12, 2021 |
sonnie10: nope, it's not imported and assembled sir/ma. Aluminum people do it, the glass is tempered and the holes where the sliding mechanism fits in are done from factory, they just buy the roller accessories and frost the glass if the client so wish otherwise they leave it plain n one can see through. I can get one of my man to do it for you. I guess the one u are referring to is either a sauna or enclosed showed cubicle. |
