Quite eager as well.
Was immensely encouraged by @pennystocker's previous project to finally take the plunge this year with a two storey 6 unit apartment block (3 bedroom, 2 Bath) on part of half an acre in one of the county headquarters in western kenya. Plan approval at the county just completed after an inordinately long wait, now on to NEMA then NCA. Hoping to break ground in early January. Meanwhile been keeping myself busy: fenced,built a pit latrine, put in a water & three phase electricity connection, built a tank base and installed a 10k litre tank, built a septic tank, soak pit and store..... Currently manufacturing cement blocks on site and tending to the landscape in areas not being affected by building works and planning to sink a shallow well to supplement the irregular kanjo supply to the 10,000 litre tank which will be of immense benefit when construction commences. Having done the math, these days I just shake my head when I see people forking out 10's of millions for a single not particularly well done unit.
