Heko bwana..hongera kwa kazi nzuri. It can be done courage, believe and focus

@jamani....I call it mocus....motivation and focus

@gewosan....thanks, it's appreciated. Quick advice though....just be yourself...it's hard being somebody else..

@youcan'tstopusnow....thanks! Regarding stocks....I'll chip in where I see fit. NSE is volatile and full of speculations.

@Penny-Stocker: you might recall I started my project in Ruiru at about the same time as you did. Mine was a personal simba, not rental, although I am getting tempted. Three bedroom maisonette with one guest room on a quarter acre plot.

I am not able to post photos, but I can report that it is all roofed. What remains are the fittings, finishes and septic tank. So far it has cost me just under 4M - all savings.

I have learned many things. For instance while Decra roofing is more expensive than clay tiles you make up for the extra cost through reduced roofing timber, utility and presentability.

Some wise people on this board have often said that, when it comes to a building project, the most difficult thing is to start. Wise words. Don't wait to have all your ducks in a row - just start and new problems will suggest new solutions as you go.

The fundi I hired turned out to be a god-send. Very efficient and honest fellow. I am also planning to construct two more units same size in about a years time.

Thank you to the Wazua family for the inspiration
