Well done Joe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. You’re making progress.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thank you! I am looking foward to moving in.

[@mohammedsheriff1774]

The house is coming up nicely. Only issue is the layout of the bathrooms.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks. What would you have done differently? It was tough with the space available.

[@Blessgirl101]

Yea! The house is coming together. I noticed that the burglar proof is on the outside of the house and not inside. Is that how it’s done in SL? I know in other countries it’s on the inside and window is on the outside… just curious.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thank you. I have found that if the bars are inside, it make it very tough to open the windows. All in all, if they can break in with the bars on the outside, they have the same tools to break in with the bars on the inside. Taht was why we went with the option that makes it easier to open the windows.

Great work so far! Its a tedious process but persevere!! Its great this was done first so now as you break ground on the main house youll have so much more knowledge. Why will the Panbody be torn down?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks Zain. The panbody was always meant to be a temporary structure until the house was built. We will need thatvspace to park cars etc. Also it's likely the septic tank will need to go in that area as well. It will likely come down after the first floor is built.

Don't forget to remove the yellow tape from the windows some ppl leave it on in SL it cheapens the house in my opinion please

[@AuthenticAfrican]

will do

[@YahChild]

[@rosemond1644]

Hi you talk about renting oneday would you rent it as soon as its done?

[@LarrySmith-o6b]

Hi: We met before in Senegal Airport, what is the time famed of the house been finished, I looking at building a house by the airport.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks for stopping by. The guest house is almost done. The main house will be done by end of next year or a bit after

[@theoldgoodsounds310]

Positive and negative should be different color 🤔☝how come the water penetrates through the window or through the wall ?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

you are right, so not sure why it was not done. the wanter came in through the windows becasue the outside where the veranda is going, was not finished and so it was seeping through the blocks and windowsill. Now that is fixed finally!

[@mariamarkopoulou208]

Hello Joe, firstly, let me start by congratulating you. Wanted to ask how much the electricity pole is?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks! If I am not mistaken it was about $200-$300 but it will be more as time goes on.

[@mariamarkopoulou208]

@AuthenticAfrican thanks alot really appreciate it

[@theoldgoodsounds310]

Kushe ! Are there any approximate costs of construction per sq.meter ?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Kushe! total cost so far for the excavation, gutter, wall and guest house is $35,000.

[@rosemond1644]

Are you going to remove pan body house?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

yes, when the first floor of the main house is done.
