Building is a frightening venture now, I bought a lot of materials for this house when it was cheap, but by the time we get to the decking level, the materials will be exhausted. I wonder what happens next.

Frightening is an understatement....the increase is not abating anytime soon and with the forcast Nigeria is now in recession.

It's really tough. People like us who give quotations and start work are experiencing the most uncertainty. We can't plan ahead in this country. Inflation is a big problem here.

You did not brief the house how you manage to get water from the well

Sorry but I forgot, the well has been so erratic, we dug up to 38 feet into the ground and there was no promise of good water flow, so I told the diggers to go home, and started to buy water in tankers.
But recently, one of my workers noticed that there is some water in the well last week, so we fetch from the well when we are low on tank water. But the flow is limited to just a few buckets at a time. We are just managing the well.

We are still wetting the foundation of the third flat, due to the very high foundation, we are taking extra precautions to compact the soil so it can settle firmly..........

But for the other 2 flats, we are moving on speedily with lintels carpentry, concrete cast and even topping of the blocks........

More of the concrete beams today.........

Pictures of more work done today.......

Concrete cast of the floor of the last flat happening today.......

Concrete cast on the other two flats all completed.........
