After the plastering, i proceeded with the POP work, both the arc, pillars and the white POP.

I bought 40 bags of POP cement. Each bag is 5,500 Naira.

I bought 5 bags of cement and the workmanship was 30,000 Naira.

Each bag of cement was 3,700 Naira.

3 of the doors are for entrances. 1 in the front, 1 for the kitchen to the backyard, and 1 for the private sitting room exit.

I started the journey on September, 2020.

And the first thing i did was to look for a plot of land in a dispute-free area.

This is very important because there are many government owned land in Badagry and its environment. Apart from Government owning some land, there are places that people don't really like due to one issue or the other.

So after inspecting 3 different plots, i finally pick a choice. By the way, it was discovered that one of the 3 different plots inspected was in government owned area. Thanks to the proper investigation.

I got the plot of land for 1.8 million Naira. 60ft by 120ft

ojasweb:


Am not sure one can know by mere looking. But when you tap it, the single ones make noise while the double doesn't.

However, they don't usually produce double on display unless it's requested, because it's more expensive.

ojasweb:


We actually use 2by2 but i don't know if it's for nogging or not. Pardon my ignorance.
