Finally❗️my building house tour / countryside living in Ghana 🇬🇭

[@nanabrimpong3485]

I hope they filled the water tank upstairs also for you. I think the wall plastering money could start walling those 3 upper studios. Nkakra nkakra and before you realise you have 4 studios for rent, best to hsve income on your property to support other projects.

[@kinzababe1]

You are right I could have.🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 the outside toilet is poorly arranged. The shower is supposed to be at the end where you currently have the toilet, them the toilet where the sink is then the sink moved to the corner of the entrance door. So whem you open the door you have a sink, then toilet, then shower. And the window should be glazed with a frosty tint to make it not visible from outside. At the moment the sink is too close to the toilet seat looking at al the space you have in the outside toilet.

[@MissNadine-23]

@nanabrimpong3485 This seems to have been an African setup I would never understand. When I first saw this in African bathrooms, I was like, who wants to sit on a wet toilet seat, you can tell this is a man set up, women don't think like having our butts wet...lol

[@selinab.8611]

I was thinking the same thing

[@afro-carib5642]

GURRL I can’t tell you just how proud I am of you!! You did sooo good in dem Ghana streets chale. I know a bit of the struggle, but my build was much smaller so kudos to you for your perseverance, patience and bravado. Big up to Super Shady for his support and his contribution to this project. I wish you continued health and prosperity and I pray that one day soon when I am back in Ghana we could link up. God bless ❤❤👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Great job! You can get a pressure pump attached to your water before it comes to your house or even out to your yard. That’s what we did. Feel free to contact us if you need further explanation but to use those nice showers heads you will definitely need more pressure. Ask me how I know.😂 we didn’t have it when we came and we realized we needed more pressure and added it. It has really worked well for us. If your power is out, you will still be able to get your water flowing, but it just won’t have the pressure. Again great job. I love what you’re doing. I know it’s definitely not easy. Thank you for sharing it. God bless you.

[@kinzababe1]

Thank you 🙏🏿 for the suggestion, I will definitely look into it. We already had dicuss getting a small water. We will put that in later for right now with no electricity we have running water. 🤗🤗🙏🏾🇬🇭

[@ZIIBANI]

Congratulations!!!! Its almost done!! Yay

[@kinzababe1]

🙏🏿 thank you 🙏🏿

[@Nia70Ghana24]

It’s unfinished it needs to go completely around the room! An the shower needs a little more pressure it not enough for the rain drops shower head… Besides all that everything is looking fantastic many blessings 🇧🇧🇺🇸🇬🇭☮️❤️🤗

[@kinzababe1]

Thank you for your input. The water pressure will be increased once there is electricity to run a pump all day. Right natural gravity is ok. Thank you🙏🏾🇬🇭❤️

[@marockson]

Good day kinza, suggestion, why don't you run solar to one bedroom one washroom and kitchen, so you can sleep, eat and wash and also say good by to rent! And then do what else you can after!

[@kinzababe1]

Great idea !

[@BlackLove-Gh]

Hey, this is Mike. I agree with Shady because it is finished. It has to fit flush with the wall if you skirt it then it won’t fit flush.

[@kinzababe1]

Yes I do understand it all depends on the carpenter. I have no plans right now so it needs to be finished. Some people don’t mind when they open their closet doors to an unfinished look not me it has to be completely finished. 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

23:19 @kinzababe1 please have that place shaddy was standing with the skirting finished. No i disagree with shaddy on that and i agree with you. Have the tiler finish it for you its your room, don't have anyone dictate what you want you decide and have it done. The pieces of tiles are available so what is the problem here that shady is saying its not done like that? Have it done because its not done like that and its incomplete. You could also decide to use thst spot for home office desk area instead and it needs the skirting, the other space next to the door could be your wardrobe area and dresser also. Or vice versa because its more spacious than the other area you reserved for wardrobe, or you can have both as wardrobes and put your work desk in the living area or next to the other window area.

[@kinzababe1]

Exactly! what I was saying. No telling what I am going to do with that area. 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 yes let them fix it. I don't know why shaddy sometimes sides with them, its your project no disrespect to anyone and he needed to listen to you and make sure they do it. I saw the resistance there and I disagree. Sometimes you must also step forward and instruct them exactly what you want done. Also its good to be nice but not too nice with people because they don't take you serious when you insist on things as they take advantage of you being nice, this was the issue with Vincent and how fast he changed. So please step up also and instruct.

[@oluyemisidaji1109]

Beautiful show and tell! I think the reason they leave the skirting in the wardrobe area is that the skirting takes up space and the wardrobe cannot fit snugly into the wall...so the wood does not lie on the wall because of the skirting.....I hope you get what I am trying to say😅😅😅

@kinzababe1 you need a Christmas goat for your grand opening for your great achievements for your house as its nearly there.

[@kinzababe1]

I know but the price is probably higher because of the holidays 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 price never comes down in Ghana, in January its going up again further so don't be scared to do things, because the longer you wait the more expensive it gets. Now It's only the block work and plastering and little plumbing and wiring needed for that and before you know tiling and furnishings later and money for rents soon comes when done.

Happy Holiday and God bless 🙏🏿

I love your tile! I like the consistency of it and the color. Very nice. Your floors as well. Are they vinyl?

[@drusterr11]

Greetings! I agree %100 trim should be finished in the wardrobe in case you decide something different later! To me it’s unfinished exactly like you said! Glad you had them finish it. Make sure the water pressure is strong in the shower & faucets! Other than that everything looks great! Question: Is the mason going to finish the stairs eventually? They look unfinished & have cracks & chunks of cement missing..they need to be smoothed out or are they going to be tiled eventually?

[@kinzababe1]

I will make sure the pressure is good and yes the stairs will be finished.🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 I think it would have been better to use same tiles for the apartment in the balcony floors to make it uniform

[@kinzababe1]

I agree 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 that would look much better for the apartment area

[@gracemorton3405]

Both of you are correct. You can finish the wall and add a closet or the closet can be added to the unfinished wall since no one will see the back wall. I like finishing before adding the closet. Beautiful work.

[@kinzababe1]

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

The shower for the workers should be against the wall then the toilet towards the door otherwise you walk through a wet floor to the toilet

[@kinzababe1]

Yes I got that it was something that I added at the last minute.

[@wandegoncalves113]

Congratulations on your lovely project! Great idea to be onsite as you finish up your details. If you’re onsite you will need electricity. Get your own small solar powered system going, and add on the govt electric program when it is available. You really want to be independent and safe while you are there in your home.

[@kinzababe1]

Thank you for the suggestion I will look into it 🙏🏿

[@itsjustAndrea]

Will the skirting keep the closet from being flush against the wall? If not, in my opinion, it’s unfinished. Greetings!🤗

I all depends on the carpenter if build a closet or if I buy one either way it looks better if i finish it until I decide.

[@kinzababe1]

The bed and stuff is the least of my concerns it the bare essentials 🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 the tanks need to be drained and cleaned completely before you install he new filters. You shouldn't change filters before cleaning the tanks, same procedure as the cars. You drain the oil, put new folter before pouring new oil, same applies to the water tank. For the outside toilet the shower is meant to be where the toilet is a the end, then the toilet is supposed to be in the middle and the hand wash at the entrance. You cannot have a shower before sink then toilet at end, that way if someone has a shower the whole floor is wet and the toilet cannot be used. Berst to swap them around in the correct sequence. From entrance, its sink, then toilet and shower at the end in corner. Mush better loke this.

[@kinzababe1]

I wanted the sink outside so the shower 🚿 could fit nicely but they didn’t listen at all. They just couldn’t get it, because I added the shower after they acted like it made things so complicated for them. After I saw that they still put the sink inside I just left it because it’s just something for someone to wash off after a day work.🙏🏿🇬🇭🫶🏾

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 Kinza it still needs to be done properly, I am sorry, but it's your property and excuse me to day most of these guys not modern inclined and some live in old style houses or come from villages and some are used to the old jack and Jill seperate bathrooms so they don't get the concept. This external bathroom could serve as a washroom also in future should you have a swimming pool there where people would come to pay to use. Look at the big picture and don't allow them to dictate for you, if they do it their way, have them remove it and correct it. Else they would always mess up. It's your building your house your rules. Do it your way kinza not thier way, its not thier home but yours.

[@nanabrimpong3485]

@kinzababe1 please if you can have them switch everything around. Because the whole floor will be wet once someone takes a shower and someone else needs to go through the wet floor just to use the toilet is very wrong setup. Best to have shower in the end, toilet in middle and sink near the door.

[@evonnereed9268]

[@GyattaDin3847]

Kinza, hope all is well with you, much blessings. Although Sola is a good option, once electricity is available, it is better to get the electricity to your house. Electricity is much cheaper, the national grid is getting more robust and reliable, pretty soon if you live in an area where electricity is available sola will not even be considered. People talking about sola but they don’t tell you how expensive it is to install to supply a basic three bedroom house. From my personal experience, if you don’t need sola, don’t even consider it, it will take you almost twenty years to recover your investment. With sola you might say , I don’t have electricity bills, not thinking you have already paid you bills up front.

[@kinzababe1]

You are certainly right, that’s we I am trying my best to get on the grid first. Thank you 🙏🏿
