On a lighter note, come see drama for house yesterday as my little kids were sharing the house and allocating portions to themselves, first, my family is very young and we are very close to each other. But my first daughter (7) wants her own room and wants to stay with her younger sister (5) while my son (4) is asking where he will be sleeping

Well they calmed down when I told them we have space for all of them, their small bags are packed and ready to leave and the next question after Good morning Daddy is "Are we moving to our house today?" Very emotional,

For me, its only the doors and widows that I need in my own room, maybe I will plaster the room and do the floors next year when the ecoonomy improves Na my house

I am typing a letter to my landlord, his quit notice is to be delivered to him as soon as possible!

See, Spyder880 don't do anything your mind tells you not to. You have tried. That is not only a compliment, but a fact!  You have tried for us, you have tried for yourself and even in Baba God eye sef, you don try. So if you feel anything will compromise the safety of your family, even your business strategy, don't do  it.

But I will pray you to continue with your finishing on a need to know basis. How? Why? . You have done a great deal on external structural building and pricing but had never had the opportunity to showcase your finishing acumen and may never have the opportunity to do so now that clients will be reluctant to allow you to showcase internal finishing. That is if you find a client that can build from start to finish without pause.

So your personal project is about the only opportunity you've got for now to sell your fledging business on internal finish. So what I will advice you to do, giving the security fear is to dwell more on costing/pricing. So for example, if you are installing tiles, you can take your camera to the tile market, take some picture and give the price for each type without tell us your choice of tiles, or your choice of doors, or protector, lighting etc. You can also tell us the cost of installation. Truth is, choice is a personal thing so we don't need to know the choice you made. This goes also for your main gate. If you are happy with the quality of installation, let us know. If not, kindly be brave to let us know with highlight on the pitfalls.

With this approach, I should believe your family and business should be fine and our curiosity satisfied. You've tried. Well done!

What's the point if you don't see what you're been quoted? If the look atleast is worth the price or too much for the quoted price?
I think Spyder has carried us so long and as long as we all really need to have a close clue or idea of what it cost to get this kind of house to this stage. Everything else from here is what you want it to be! In other words, from now till the very last task now depend on taste/choice. What you want for the finishing is now what will decide the final cost! Give this N1.5 for example its good to go and at the same time give it another N4m it will happily take it easily!
