Work still in progress was charged #42000 for the aluminum windows and net inclusive.already did two for 20k.
For the full building I have six standard windows and a kitchen and bathroom window making a total of 8windows for #62000.
Also we resume plastering today 16th April 2020 amidst covid19 and the frames of the aluminum will be fixed today.

protesters took to the street of sapele today because of the lockdown extension and there was lots of shooting by vigilante and lots of people was injured and rushed to the hospital and no death record.

it ended well Because the local government succumbed to the people and agreed on food distribution as soon as possible.
last last pele no dey carry last.

Completed my roofing on 26 March 2020,so far so good have been able to manage and invest 1.5m 20k for the last two years to get here,land inclusive
In that building I have one bedroom flat,a room and a palor and two single rooms apartment.
Right now I have sand and cement on ground for the plastering .

Well done bro. If I may ask, how many bedroom apartment is your brother's house and what's the total cost implication to its present stage. Thanks.

A two bedroom flat and a one bedroom flat apartment, the building is fully completed and occupied,I can't give you the total cost of the building but I supervised the work till it roofing stage and can only answer questions base on that.

On Wednesday is the day two of the roofing, that was when they started fixing the roof and then I realized am a owner of a very big building and my joy have never cease since that moment till now,am just so happy.
I will drop pictures once the roofing is complete, thanks everyone.

On Monday 23rd of March I bought wood worth 50k.and the roofing work kick start on Tuesday.

Though the engineer worked both Friday and Saturday.
So on Sunday I called for the carpenter to roof the house,and the price he gave was alarming.he said 70k but after much negotiations for two days he agreed on 40k which on my side is still expensive.but I have to comply because his work very good, also since both the ceiling is involved.

Am so glad to tell everyone that the work has gotten to the point of roofing,it wasn't easy but it was worth it, thanks everyone.

On Friday 20th March we called a new engineer to complete the last coaches of blocks on top the lintel,the first engineer was not on board reason why.
We paid the engineer #5400 and he use 180 blocks to complete the blocks work.

By Thursday we allowed it to dry and solidified and also relaxed .

God should intervene and save the entire world.

Wednesday 18th March we tied the rod and poured the remaining part of the lintel,and it took us the whole day

Today work was successful with out much stress, paid carpenter #5000 I used the nails from previous work for today's work.
Presently we are the lintel stage but we did half the job hoping to complete it after we have poured today's work,due to insufficient materials the wood precisely.
In total i spent #24000 naira for the lintel though am to balance the carpenter #3000 once the work is completed

That boarding was poured on Monday with rods on it. No payment made because the rod was tied and poured in person by us.

Have been working so hard to push the project since Monday and was too stressed that I couldn't give daily update.
So on Sunday luckily I received the balance of 36k summing up the total cash to 308k.

Every thing on this thread is my experience on this journey both the bad and pleasant times

The bad news is the unstableness of the society because of the said coronavirus epidemic.
The Good news is that am happy to be back to my project. But the more good news is that I receive payment for one of the room in my new project,it look like am dreaming that a yet to roof is been paid for by a stranger for that matter, the picture is coming along this text.

So today money was paid for one room,so I have a room and parlour yet to be rented, suming up to three rooms yet to be completed project

Continuation of my last post in December 2019.
I was thinking of how I could raise funds say 300k to kick Start my project in the first quarter of 2020.
I said to my self instead of thinking of ways to get funds that won't give you peace of heart,while not develop streams of income which I did,so by February end I was able to raise 200k, with the hope of raising the balance by this March end.
But there is a good and bad news, which am going to tell all my readers, that's if I still have one.

Capeverde:
Thanks to everyone for their beautiful encouragement,I gave a pause on the project so I can relax with the family by December and make a better plan for 2020.
Right now am thinking of how to raise funds like 300k so I can continue or complete this project by the first quarter of the year.so please your suggestions are highly welcome.
Am actually scared of loans but I don't know if I can cope with long term loans,or maybe I should keep going slowly like this.
Or
Should I sell part of the land to complete one side so when I start getting returns I can purchase another land else where.
Please suggestions are highly welcome, thanks in advance.one idea can get me more possible ideas.

Yes it's a new year and greetings to my supportive friends on nairaland, your comments sometimes put me in check and give me some enabling strength on this building journey,am back to kick start my project.
