And the beat goes on. During my 3 week stay in Calabar, I decided to up the ante and tackle the challenging sloppy terrain. The foundation input was enough to build a flat. Lesson learnt: If you do not have loads of money, dont buy a plot of land that is slopping at a steep gradient. It takes double the amount of money to level the foundation. Check out the 8-9 coaches of block work for the foundation 1 Like

kopell: @kopel, Actually, it started as daily picture updates, before I reduced the frequency to weekly. Sometimes I couldnt find any tangible significant changes when I had the daily updates. 1 Like |

The greenery in the background is priceless to me. I rather live here than Ikoyi, VI or Banana Island. This environment looks healthy to me. 3 Likes

OnetimeOnly: The road just passing by the entrance to the plot is a Trunk B newly ashphalt constructed road (which links straight to Tinapa) with stepped down electricity sponsored by the NDDC. I bought my three 100 x 50 plots for N900,000. I'm aware it could go lower for N800,000. Its a newly opened up area and the community is trying to sell as much plots as possbile before the State Government comes in to take over the development of the area just like othe place in Calabar that have recently opened up. |

snakebeat: Well spoted. Good question. I queried that too when I saw the re-design. The Engineer did recommend that one of the 2 bathrooms could be used for a Jacuzzi/Sauna room. I may have other ideas about that though. |

spyder880: Thanks my main man. I may have to book a hotel for you and Madam in Calabar during the Xmas carnival for the weekend to visit and so that you can come and provide some expert creative advise to my Structural Engineer who's building the house. 1 Like |

nelsonB:I tipped 30 tonnes of sharp sand. I moulded 32 blocks per 50kg bag of Dangote 3X cement. I used 50 bags of cement from the 30 tonnes and the remaining sand might not be able to mould 2 bags of cement. Hope this helps. |
