I decided to raise the foundation higher by one block, this increased the consumption of filling sand by about 10 more loads, it also took more building materials and Labour costs.

Baba how many board u use at this level and what's cost per one?
I learnt some boards are very good and superior and will usually be okay for reuse but the regular and rampant ones in the market are not too good and will mostly be in a bad state after each use.
