Ahah na so we see am.I accumulated all of my annual leave for 2015 financial year and kept it for this project hence 41 working days.I'm here untill next week.I shud be able to form the blocks then. angry,how's ur build going? ?

1) I completed laterite filling of the main house and will allow it to naturally settle through a few rain and dry cycles. German floor to be done mid year.

2) In the meantime focus has shifted onto the accessory building on which I broke ground on https://www.nairaland.com/2847494/construction-2-bedroom-garage-apartment#41913259 The foundation, filing and german floor will be done in my absence shocked I'm still debating that decision but we shall overcome all evil powers fashioned against our finances grin

I will be on ground for 21 days March/April to oversee the raising of the walls and hopefully roof for the accessory building.

Today is forming of the wall/blocks and every minor adjustment a much less stressful job to do.

Oga with your land survey size here ....did you think that the land size will contain all these I.e 2 unit of 2 bedroom , 1 unit of 2 bed , 1 four bed room duplex.. think twice ooo. I believed by the time you finish it, you will hardly have a place for just a car.
