Hola amigos, buenos dias.....here's what I've been up to! I know....i've been inactive since Oct. 2013...had some very urgent issues that had to be taken care of! Thank G-d all is well now!
At the moment, everything in the building is completely done, todos, done!I could have tenants move in right away but there are two things I'll be doing ASAP before accepting anybody to move in....Here's what's left to be done.....
1.Perimeter walling (materials are procured and ready)
2.Landscaping - debating cabro, poured concrete, or kokoto (you know the tiny ones)
3.Well paying tenants

Otherwise, here's the almost completed project.....














































That's it for now folks! I'll post pics when I have the perimeter walling done! Hopefully soon!

Adios amigos...hasta luego yi buena suerte!

Thanks y'all....one step closer to financial freedom! @jugger and wily...due to some aesthetic and finishing changes, I've gone over my original budget by about 30% ---but I'm pleased with the results!

Well done Penny-stocker. Very good job. I like the quality of finish too.

My project was completed last month. In fact I moved in two weeks ago.

Like you I also went over budget kidogo. I also took slightly more than the one year I had estimated. But all ended well and I was able to avoid the bank, as several Wazuans had strongly advised.

I was quite shocked to realize that finishing is the most expensive, not to say frustrating, part of the whole project. Me and the fundi nearly quarreled over this.

But there is no gainsaying the great feeling once the project is done.

Always happens that's why budgets have an item on contingencies. Also don't underestimate cost of boundary fence. When I was putting up my house, I spent about 1m on the septic and fence, costs that I had greatly underestimated (had budgeted 300k). Didn't know that 1/3 of the fence would be underground.

I know, right? Plus it's Kenya where inflation is wanting.....buying a bag of cement @800 today and tomorrow the same will go for 980. Also, my QS dude fd me up. A lot of his quantities and costs were way off! Oh well, it's just money!

Well done buddy! I'm glad yours is done as well. Would you mind sharing the final product....you still have my email....right? If not let me know. Anyway, my next project is in the pipe line! I'll let you know more as I get concrete with it!
