I doubt if the first pix is an HDF door. It looks more like MDF. Check the purported Turkey door well. Does it have fine particles like compressed saw dust at its edges? If yes, it means it is an MDF.

The second pix looks like plywood or HDF. Check well; if the edges of the wood show layers of flat wood, that means it’s plywood he bought. He might need to use an edge binder to cover the layers from showing, after finishing.

Where the edges of the second pix show no layers of stacked wood, it may be a HDF wood.

He needs powerful router to create dado (the deep lines as shown on the Turkey door) on the woods in pix 2 with a matching diameter (and at the same depth) of bit used in creating the lines in the first pix (Turkey door) has to be used by the furniture guy for me to be able to get something closer to the one made with router table in factory.

If he attempts to chisel out the esthetic lines manually, he may not get the design (dados) well.

Hope he has a better plunge router like Festool or Mafell. Those are the best routers that can do the job well, including the door holes and hinges. He can use a couple of other door engine installation kits and hole saw, where he can’t use plunger to drill the hole.

A Trion, Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee or Bosch plunge router too could be useful, if he knows how to use any of it and has or could get one.

Where he couldn’t get a plunge router, he can use trusted trim routers will rail guide, for the dados and the door holes.

Let him also look for quality white paint for the finishing.

If I am to make such door with my tools here, it cannot cost more than N40k, without adding my profit and cost of shipment ni o.

Tell him to reduce the price for you. The charges are too closer to that of factory-made door and he hasn’t made any of such doors for you before for you to know if he would get it as closed as to the Turkey door.

Don’t pay upfront for everything. Let him make one and show it to you. If you are ok with it, he can then go ahead with others, to avoid a case of WHAT I ORDERED VS WHAT I GOT.

Modified:

Estimated cost of making one door using plywood.

1 piece of full length of plywood = 14k, max.
2. Door engine (the type that he would use for you)= 10k , max.
3. Door hinges = 3k, max
4. Lacquer and final painting = 10k, max.
5. Screws and others = 1k, max.

For using HDF, the only difference is going to be the cost of the wood is is being sold around N16k to 21k per piece, depending on where you are buying it.

You can then add his labour. I assume you already have your door frames installed.

Hope I am back soon to come and crash price for people making life difficult for Nigerians, in my own little way.

We exploit ourselves too much.


By the way, I sell and ship quality power tools and accessories for woodwork and furniture making, directly from Europe and the US. These are not China Made for Nigeria tools o.

It is disheartening for individuals to engage in deceit, duping others while still actively participating in this forum. While these actions may seem profitable in the short term, it is imperative to that ill-gotten wealth are never sustainable. One day, the consequences of deception will catch up with anyone who engaged in dubious act. Proverbs 10:9 (New International Version)

"Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out."

This verse from the book of Proverbs succinctly conveys the idea that those who choose to live with integrity and honesty can walk securely in life, free from the fear of being exposed. Conversely, those who engage in deceit and crookedness will eventually be discovered and held able for their actions. This timeless wisdom serves as a reminder that ill-gotten wealth, no matter how substantial, are ultimately fragile and transient.

Ultimately, it is essential for individuals to reflect upon their actions and consider the long-term consequences of their choices. Building a successful career based on integrity and honesty not only benefits society but also allows individuals to leave a lasting legacy of trust and respect. As the Bible verse reminds us, the path of righteousness and integrity is the one that leads to security and peace of mind, while deceitful practices will ultimately be exposed.

No matter how successful someone may appear in the short term, the consequences of their actions will eventually catch up with them. It is far wiser to pursue success through honesty and integrity, leaving a positive and lasting impact on the world around us.

@N3xt wherever you have done wrong to anyone in this forum or offline please do rectify the wrong, so that you can be free and to leave lasting legacy for yourself and your children.

Even though you didn’t mention your state, the labour for such shouldn’t be more than N20k per door because he is not spending more than 3hrs on making and fixing a door.

There’s no biggie there, with right tools.

5kva solar /inverter setup at Unilag yaba lagos

08051355133 let’s talk

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but:

That inverter will be exposed to wet air (with high relative humidity) during windy rain (especially from the sides).

It will lead to accelerated corrosion of electrodes and terminals. But most important, it damages the paper-based transformer winding insulation which is sensitive to moisture.

My recommendation would be to install the inverter inside, below the window, drill a-half-inch hole into the wall, and run the battery cables from there. Or ditch the follow-come battery cables, install in a comfortable place inside, and run 35mm cables from inverter to battery

As per the solar s, they may loose efficiency during hot weather due to insufficient void space between the s and the roof

Just to contribute my 2-cents to the Solar debate:
I went off-grid in 2016 for about 4-years.
Currently back on the grid because I felt I needed to remove my water heaters from the solar system. However the grid is serving as back-up.

According to him, the plants to be commissioned by Tinubu, would bring BUA Cement’s total capacity to 17 million metric tons.

This, he said will enable the company to reduce the price of cement to about 3500 naira per bag.


These people should stop playing with us.
Dangote is the price leader in this industry, this seems to me like a political jab.

This is profound! Thanks for sharing.

The substance of our lives is in the choices we make.

Just in case we’ve forgotten, I was only only that project for 3 months (March - May 2021) and the choice made afterwards led us where we are today.

Everything comes down to choice, whether you want to be happy, peaceful and rich or alcoholic, miserable and rich or even lonely, sad and broken.
Whatever come my way, I’ve learnt not to ever let my emotion cloud my reasoning.

The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/3226#118776830

The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

About 5 trips of Sharp Sand.
