You have done well. May God see you thru.
Unless you have gone thru the process of building a house, you cannot see the agony in completing it.
It's not easy at all. But just keep doing the little you can do and eventually everything will be completed.
Stay blessed.

[b]I really like the quality of workmanship on your project...its making the work come out very well

The only thing seemingly out of place that I have noticed and wish to point out is that I haven't seen any pillars (columns) in your building and you have introduced concrete fascia with ring beams attached to it and also this concrete slab over the kitchen. The concrete fascia and beams are going to support/bear the full weight of the roof structure (carcass and covering). I believe the roof structure will also exert a portion of its weight on the slab over the kitchen. Now this weight exerted by the roof structure on the roof beams/fascia and slab over the kitchen ought to be transferred to the foundation in one way or the other, through the pillars (columns) which are concrete members also AND NOT through the block walls as the case presently is. The weight of the roof transferred from the roof fascia/beams through the blockwork to the foundation may cause cracks in the wall overtime.

Try introducing columns if still possible. Wishing you all the best in your project!!
