Jael, I love how you are calm about the " swampy land deal" you ended up with. It has taxed you for sure...but I have no doubts you would still turn it into gold. I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up with fish farming, ducks, turtles and beautiful water plants right there on your farm

Building a house can be very expensive. Some places are more expensive than others too. In the country I live in, depending on the size of the house, it can cost you almost a million dollars or more.

[@verovlogs3588]

Instead of the hustle of buying your own materials, i would say, find a trusted and knowledgeable contractor. There are some people who have built brands in their construction work that cannot be swayed by small savings on a bag of cement or tiny iron bars. Of course his expertise will cost much but it will save you so much worry and running around workers to see if they are mixing the right ratios.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Getting that contractor you can trust in Kenya is the challenge.
