If you hav an initial plan to drill please go ahead, but if not then you can buy, it largely depends on availability of water in such area

I wanted to drill as well but later the cost of doing so would have affected the completion the building so I jettisoned and decided to buy instead
thanks cool

let me start by appreciating those Nlanders who have taking this part before now and did not hesitate to share their experiences, I must say that those were a great deal of encouragement to Us in general and Mua in particular

I remember someone asking in a particular thread "which was more preferable between buying and building a house?" of which I posited that building gives alot of challenges and stories to tell but at the end, life itself is all about you telling your own stories (like building a house) as against buying story books (more like buying a house)

lastly, I thought of building in Lagos but then I remembered "aku ruo ulo" and decided to build in my villa.

Happy view!

welldone Bro. Kudos. Building is not easy o. I started and stopped at roofing level. Make i gather money go back to work.May God strengthen you. You will finish well by God's grace

Best question so far. cool

I hate seeing houses that look like huts..or what we cal in igbo "nkpuke okuko".... That is were fowl stays Men it's irritating.

I like "a house on the rock" cool kind of setting, gives room for ventilation, though it cost more,but am really satisfied. infact I wanted the floor level higher but the builder had his way.. Good you noticed such minor details, really love it

As for dining, I have already converted the bathroom to dinning, I mean there is already two toilets, so I decided to link them to the four rooms and make them serve as both toilet and bathroom cool

Building control seemed to have said stop work - but you are continuing.

Seems to be an illegal structure being built - I pity the tenants that rent the place!
Are you angry that he did not build it in lagos or osun state?

I can't find the kitchen or is it just my eyes?

Also one of the rooms there could have had its walls to an adjoining space collapsed for a walk in closet and master bedroom; or make it an ensuite master bedroom toilet/bathroom.

The land seems OK and I'm hoping you won't go beyond the bungalow by later adding more floors so you're fine.

Thumbs up!

thank you for your observation, we have done exactly what you recommended.. . guess we thinking alike.. great mind! cool
