olaboy1: Thank you, Sir. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would be angst at me for my suggestions. It's not as if I'm asking for a donation. I'm simply sharing ideas and looking for ideas from others on the ground. I'm undaunted though and keep moving forward. Thanks for your support. 2 Likes |

lifetimeng: I will save your details for later on when the main house is completed. That will need a lot of gutters for the outside and inside (yes, inside) perimeter. In the meantime, I'm sure that a small straight 25 foot gutter that ends with a spout into a plastic storage tanks is not worth the effort for you? Please let me know. |

litaninja: Excellent, so this scheme won't fit your design purpose. It's not jollof rice and you don't have to like it. Great minds are able to entertain a thought without subscribing to it. |

princetom1: You and other autoist are welcomed anytime. May God give all of us long life to enjoy our dreams and aspirations. I dealt with the same issue when it came out to the garage. People on here why criticizing me for wasting a space that's good enough for 2 bedrooms on parking cars. Sometimes you just have to smile and move on 2 Likes |

sultaan: PSI will be determined post construction and an in line pump fitted if necessary. Central water heater will be used. No alternative on that for me as I trust that system. Only low flow devices will be used. Thanks for your participation. |

olaboy1: What also befuddles me on some of the responses is the lack of understanding that this is a private residence and not a rental or for sale. Thank god that I wouldn't have to get community approval 1 Like |

0rex: You're an astute observer. I'm very much into home automation. Just as in my house now, it if moves, opens, closes, can be switched on or off then I'll automate it I'm using Samsung SmartThings and Apple HomeKit. 1 Like 1 Share

WeldHome: Don't give up though. Rather crude but consider volunteering at a shop near you, mechanic, plumbing, welding, etc It's even worth paying them. Learn welding, start creating African themed stuff, open up a site - cheap, you never can tell. |

Electricity supply augmented by 5000w solar panels and or 1000w wind turbine to run AC at night with both units in place you can basically fire NEPA or what ever its called now(will cost a lot but priceless) The wind turbine is cheaper than batteries but depend on wind.Initial cost might be high but generator and fuel put you in a hole during those scarcities Flooring carpet, wood/laminate, or tile? It would have been really good if you can ship things you need yourself but our government consider personal items as imports. Most of the building materials I have seen in Nigerian market are substandard products that can't necessarily meet western standars |

sultaan: Regarding shipping, where there's a will there's a way. Maybe wind later, much later. Stained concrete floors. |

EgunMogaji: I already purchased my equipment. I'm presently doing my thing from home, since I don't have the financial means to establish a workshop. My compound at Satellite Town, is my workshop for now. Over there, I make stuffs like doors, gates, burglar proof, etc, for sale while I took up an apprenticeship job at a depot closeby in order to gather steel structural fabrication and pipeline welding skills. I'm always pretty much willing to learn whenever I have someone teaching me but doing it on my own seems kinda difficult since I tend to get carried away at times. 1 Like |

I admire your courage, go out there and raise the standards in Naija. Join specific online forums and blogs for your crafts and you will learn very fast. When I was trying to put together my home cinema, I did research on forums and blogs for like 4 months and finally got my perfect home cinema set up, I have been to some cinemas here in Europe and I must tell you my set is 10/10 match with them, even its same quality sound I get at home blasting drake with what you get in any of the biggest clubs around Europe. So brotherly it's doable trust me, just be focus, keep researching relentlessly and don't settle for less. My home cinema I assembled myself with gadgets I bought online around the world...(USA, Japan, Sweden, Turkey) Also while doing your thing, don't listen to the wailers or quacks who tell you...oga dis one no mean anything 1 Like |

olaboy1: I salute you. Others sit there and wallow in ineptness while others like you are taking the bull by the horn. Though I have a dedicated home theatre room, I look forward to watching movies in my internal courtyard with an open roof. |

Shawls:Bro. Since you seem to know a lot about properties in Ibadan, I want to relocate to IB next year; but to a place closer to Lagos. Will be working in Lag. Want to know which is better: buying a house or buying land and building. Note... It will take months to build and I don't have the time. The closest house I have around that place is at Ogun state. You can send me a p.m. ( though I don't know how it works) thanks |
Re: DIY Thread - Homeowners And Supliers by Shawls: 8:42pm On Sep 26, 2016 |
@jammy12 Your best suggested location in Ibadan will be Elebu.It is a rapidly developing modern area with great road network and properties are reasonable in price.Close proximity to Lagos-Ibadan Express way, tarred internal access roads, reasonable power supply by PHCN, middle class income neighborhood, security considerably ok. 1 Like |
