I am a proud owner of a 4-bedroom bungalow in Ibadan. The building of that house was handled by a builder. By reading through a few blog posts and especially the Nairaland Property section, I was able to negotiate costs and quality. My brother @muyesky supplied the superb iron doors for that house.
Here I am, starting a two bedroom bungalow also in Ibadan. I have decided to handle this project solely by myself. Did I add that I am a son of a builder too, and have participated in a few constructions?, and that constant reading of @spyder880, @mufutau55, and a host of others has imbued me with the confidence to handle this project by myself.
First things, the land is on a high plateau (imagine we've dug 33 feet of well and no water in sight).
The design is a two bedroom en-suite, one kitchen, one living room, and a visitor's toilet.
Right now, we have completed the German floor. While this shall be my diary, I am open to your advice and suggestions on how to make it better.
In the next post, I hope to update what we have done so far and how much we have spent.

We bought the land (about 800+ sqm) off a previous owner who had put in a foundation for an 8 bedroom tenement building. We had to discard that to erect our own foundation on the plot.

Which area is this please?

Unfortunately, I could not take the picture of the foundation when we newly constructed the foundation, filled and rammed it. Meanwhile, here are the pictures for the German floor.
