I won’t use it on my personal home.

If you’re building for a specific budget then I guess.

Just enter market yourself to price wood so you can mark whomever you eventually give the job too.

Most, not all of the roofers are dubious.

Good luck on your project.

Someone said she’s going to call immigration on Cotonou carpenters some years back and I asked her “What exactly will you charge them for?”

I’d rather work with those kids than work with adults who will milk you dry and end up doing useless job for you.

Child labor my foot! Our folks are out there doing yahoo yahoo.

The project below was handled by 3 of my young Cotonou Carpenters (aged between 13 - 27).
They’re still working with me till date.

Can we compare ”adult labour” with the child labour showcased above? Even from recent projects we see around...

I really don’t know much about Igi Agbon (coconut tree) but if you ask me, I’ll say “Don’t do it?”

Kindly wait a little more if you have to.
Roofing stage is a stage where everything should be quality upfront. Your savings at the wood carcassing stage won’t be up to 250k regardless of the type of wood you’re asked to buy. So why not wait to raise that amount.

I’d rather save on roofing sheet than buy cheap woods.

Good luck bro!

If not for privacy issues, I for show una picture of an eighth years old who's learning my job.

Child labor in a continent filled with poverty and hunger plus unemployment. To these kids, it's their only path out of chronic poverty. And it's not like we have a solution to the problem

some sentiments should be left for the west. We live in a precarious place and we don't have the luxury of choice. Whichever way we can scrape out a living and is legitimate, do it. When we get to the top, we can join the rules

Don’t mess with foundation and roofing. Do industry standard. Find other areas to save money.

in as much as the money isn't the problem, it's just ridiculous for me to spend 450k instead of 225k. The house isn't even in a rush. We go wait and see what will happen Jan/feb

Babrus you need to be careful, there are laws that protect child labor in Nigeria as well. You don’t want to be the scape goat of the law.
