That is not a hard job. This is just bush clearing and it is what they do year in, year out when they want to start farming. My mother, who is a farmer in the village clears her bush by herself. So, if there is any small opportunity to make a little money by clearing 'another bush', she will do it. It is the digging that is done by men.

mufutau55:

Thank you very much sir. The whole family are doing great. Just back to work this morning after 5 weeks of paternity leave.

Fhemmmy:

I took 3 months when my son was born and my wife took the remaining 9 months . . .

mufutau55:

Thank you very much sir.. But mind you, the father and mother are not bad looking either..

Hajji M.

kostadinis:

I guessed so from the beginning.....The truth is that we can't give what we don't have
He's gorgeous. God will keep him and the mum healthy.

mufutau55:

Half true with the first comment... sometimes God proves us wrong... Ugly parents sometimes make beautiful babies and vice-versa.
Thanks very much..

Hajji M.

kostadinis:
Yes, our God surprises us sometimes, but there was a reason why you made the remarks about your wife and you.
And that is always the conventional wisdom abi?

mufutau55:

That would have been nice here for 1 year.. my wife is taking that 3 months.. but I have too much responsibility on the job as a Director of Pension Accounting for all NY City employees.. I could not be able to take that much time.. unless I am sick or kidnapped Even during those 5 weeks I was still working from home and stopping-by at the office to give instructions on what to do etc. but God is always good sha!
Anbd yeah! I heard it's 1 year in CAN... not here us US of A. I wish it would have been like that.

Hajji M.

Fhemmmy: Now back to the thread, would it be deemed a sexist comment if i say, it hurts my heart to see women doing those kinda hard job . . . I am sorry ahead of comments cos i am sure some people will crucify me, when i see them, i imagine if that is my mother, sister or wife . . .

Onuokwu:

My broda, it is survival o. The way e be with us, it is either they do that or they starve or they sell their bodies. So i think amongst the options, this one is preferred. The situation gets worse o. I had a project last year and saw some of these "not so young women" hauling mixed concrete on their heads to the second floor and queried the contractor. He explained the options the women had which was eventually corroborated by the women themselves. I had to let them continue working.

NL1960:

My brother that is handling my project in the village has suddenly become an enemy to some women because he did not allow them to carry concrete during the decking of the project. So clearing a small bush is a minor job for them as compared to carrying concrete. I cannot even see trees on this plot. Many women clear forest for planting of crops.

Iam sure if Oga Fhemmmy had seen me as an 11-year old clearing bushes and forest, he would have been pained not knowing that i might be looking for my school fees with that once-in-a-chance opportunity. .

Demainman1: Hajj Mufutau55 congrats o. Your boy is very cute!

Onuokwu:
Congratulations Hajj M. I happy for you o! The boy fine true true.

spyder880: After the setting out of the site yesterday, we started the foundation excavations today.

kostadinis:
Chief Spyder, I'm just looking at the unique soft soil of this part of Enugu.
For this one, the diggers won't need Panadol at the end of the day's work unlike most parts of the town. Even the water in the trench has equally dried up it seems.
A smooth start. Una well done.

spyder880:

This area is very prone to underground water level rise. A heavy rain could leave the whole area almost submerged in water. I am planning some precautionary measures while waiting for more rains.

The ground is not too hard, but very damp and almost muddy today, which is another problem for the diggers.

kostadinis:
Spyder the conqueror would always find a solution
Don't worry, God will take care of the rains

spyder880: My client has requested that we increase the size of the house further. We are trying to shift the foundation of the house outwards to implement the changes. Some of the already dug foundation will be filled while new ones will be formed.
