I'm following you boss

Hopefully by his grace I plan to use 60days for this starting from Monday 4th 2021 instead of my birthday date to reduce accumulated stressed that comes with digging of foundation and the pouring.

So to everyone that will be following please help me to subscribe to my channel at your will.
This place am building this houses is not my town or have any relationship with this place,I only saw an opportunity of cheap land here and I struggled to buy one,then was surprised that labour is cheap and grab it and started pushing.

Presently land has increased compared to the time I bought but is still affordable. And the way is done here,if you have money like a million, because I now know every one here you work up to the land owners and ask if he is selling his land. Reason is that at some point most times landlord needs to sell their land buyers are not readily available.

This is what I will be using my next 60days for, Sunday excluded;
1) 2 self-contained apartments
2) 1 single room apartment
3) Constructing of a general toilet and bathroom
4) Building a water tank
5) completion of sucks way pit

One thing is to dream, another thing is to work it out,this are my dreams God give me strength to work it out.
My day 1 to 6 starts from tomorrow,we move.

Day1
5bags of cement bought ₦18000
Digging, Pegging and mixing I paid a total of ₦12000 for day 1 labour.watch the video to see how my day went.
My anxiousness was high because I didn't want to spend above ₦15000 for service.
The land in question I was given for ₦20,000 because is a dry pit.
Watch how my day 1 went

I am surprised that your mason charges N30 per block for setting. Is that the prevailing rate in your area?

In some states, its N60-80 per block

Yes you are right ,the original charges is ₦45 but we excluded help assistance of ₦15 which we carry out by ourselves.
I hope he don't increase as the project progresses.

Thanks, even at that N45 is still very cheap. How much do mason+help collect per day work in delta?

In Benin, lagos its 7k per day

Today is my birthday

Day 4
120 blocks was use to set the building
1 and half bag of cement was use
Paid engineer ₦3600
I bought my first trip of filling sand for ₦14000 though I wasn't home when it off-loaded.
For clarity you can watch the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI_B0DDynFE

Good morning
Today the bathroom settings will be concluded,also the dpc level and end of 600blocks.

Day 6

We had some left over filling sand plus the one I bought ₦14000 I paid₦6000 for someone to pack it.
It took me 3days to look for people to pack the filling sand until our tenant came to our rescue and pack it with her kids within a day.

So the total expenses made till this day is;
₦310,000
₦110,000 for sinking borehole
₦200,000 for building the house up to dpc and the complete building of the general b&t
The good thing is that I still left over materials
Sharp sand and 6 and half bag of cement.

This thread is so insightful

This thread is so insightful

Am glad to know am impacting.

Good morning everyone today is Monday and is suppose to be my day 7 but I don't know how it will go yet because am having a little family issues.
Am supposed to start moulding today but if I don't because of what is actually on ground I will bring video of the dpc sand fillings.

So I was able to mould 265 blocks and bought two new trip of sand last week hoping to start my day8 yesterday Monday 18th 2021.
But there was a chaos, a boy came to my site and misbehave with my work out of foolishness.
Engineer called me but I have to put him on the hold to be calm and resolve things.

Too much challenges after the first week of my new project, firstly it was a misunderstanding at home and it took through the second week to be resolved.
Hoping to start my day 7 at the third week only for me to get an unexpected visitor.
The younger brother of the man that sold this place am using came to break the building the pictures of what he did coming up.

Capeverde:
