Hi, I hope you are doing well. I would like to enquire about putting up a sink roof at our home. The area is approximately 65 square metres. We currently have a carport on one side, and we would like to extend it into an L-shaped sink roof that connects to an open cement area, which we would also like to cover. We are planning to build a wall between the carport section and the extended area. At the end of the L-shape, we would like to renovate the space underneath the roof into a braai and entertainment area. I can provide you with the measurements, but if you could please send me your number, we can communicate further on WhatsApp. I would then be able to send you photos and some ideas of what we are looking for. I got your contact details through people we work with at Hoerskool Noordheuwel and they mentioned that I am more than welcome to contact you. They also mentioned Jan, who helped them with their construction project. Thank you very much
Need quote for perimeter wall showing signs of water seepage as a previous contractor failed to do the required sealing as the paint is peeling away three months after applying the paint. The perimeter walls are damaged inside and on the outside of a three meter high wall and against the neighbour garage which is about 4m high. Will need three contractor quotes. See attached photos. Walls will need crack filling,sealing and a border for exterior paint and all works will also have to include the paint. Thanks
1. *Prep Work - 60% of the job* This is where a good paint job is made or ruined. - *Clearing & protecting*: Move furniture, cover floors, tape up windows, door frames, skirting boards, light switches. - *Surface repair*: Fill holes and cracks with filler, sand rough spots, scrape off old flaking paint. - *Cleaning*: Wash walls to remove dust, grease, and grime. Paint won’t stick to a dirty surface. - *Priming*: Apply primer if you’re painting bare plaster, going from dark to light colors, or dealing with stains. It helps paint adhere and look even. 2. *Actual Painting* - *Cutting in*: Use a brush to paint edges and corners first - around ceilings, skirting, door frames. This gives clean lines. - *Rolling*: Use a roller for the main wall areas. Usually takes 2 coats for even coverage and color depth. - *Drying time*: Wait 2-4 hours between coats depending on paint type and weather. Rushing this causes peeling. 3. *Finishing Up* - *Touch-ups*: Check for missed spots, drips, roller marks once dry. - *Cleanup*: Remove tape before paint fully cures to avoid peeling, clean brushes/rollers, put furniture back. - *Final check*: Look at the job in daylight to catch anything you missed. Types of painting jobs: - *Residential interior*: Bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens. Usually water-based emulsion paint, low odor. - *Exterior*: Walls, fences, facades. Uses weather-resistant paint, often needs scaffolding/ladders. - *Specialist*: Spray painting, decorative finishes, woodwork/varnishing, roof painting. What affects price/time: - *Size of area* in m² - *Condition of walls* - more repairs = more time - *Number of coats* needed - *Height/access* - high ceilings cost more - *Paint quality* - cheaper paint needs more coats

I was dismissed(misconduct)in the case was referred to CCMA nd I lost it .I was represented by NUM .as I was strongly believe I was not guilty NUM promise to challenge it to labour court Nd they told me that this is going to take I rather be patient and look for work then we agreed on that Now last week. 8th May I contacted them to find out about the case .they told me they forgot to challenge it to labour court. After a month I went to them and told them that there was another incident that happened the same as mine but the difference was that it was a white guy with the same job as me ,the outcome of the case was that his assistant was fired but in my case I was fired and the assistant was not even charged as he was trained competent and appointment for his job. The second occasion that I went to NUM about reporting an information was to tell them that the person who reported me to the supervisor was dead ,and they said ok Let me draw a idea of what happened I was a banksman incharge with my helpers on surface .I was inside the bank cabin waiting for the cage to come During the arrival of the cage I stopped the cage but Nd it stopped without changing the robot to

Residential tiled roof has an active leak around the valley area with yellow ceiling stains inside the house. Tiles along the left side of the metal valley are lifting and uneven, especially from the middle toward the bottom section. Looking for an experienced roofing contractor to carry out a proper roof and valley inspection by lifting/removing tiles in the affected area to inspect the valley metal, battens, underlay and tile alignment underneath. I am not looking for surface patch repairs, torch-on waterproofing, rubber coating, membrane overlap systems or paint-on waterproofing solutions. I want the underlying roof problem properly identified and repaired after inspection of the exposed valley area.
Hi 🙂I’m looking at renovating my apartment and wanted to get a rough estimate please. I’d like to build a completely new cottage/farmhouse style kitchen in the current dining room/lounge area (attached inspiration photo), with warm wood finishes, cottage style cabinetry, a small island, open shelving and a cozy modern farmhouse feel. The current kitchen would then be converted into a combined laundry + walk in pantry/scullery. Could you please give me a rough price range for: • Building the new kitchen from scratch • Plumbing/electrical changes • Converting the old kitchen into pantry/laundry space • Cabinetry, counters and installation I’ve attached photos of the current spaces and the inspiration style I’m going for 😊
