So many people have asked me if I would consider doing an airbnb and I'm always hesitant to answer. Nonetheless, you can probably tell from the video that I decided to go with long term rental.

Decided to visit some of my favorite places while finishing up the electrical work on the house I am building in Jamaica.
Good information
Impressive! I also am considering building in JA. Would love to be able to communicate with you.
Proud of you my friend, job well done.
Very informative. Thank you
I’m a new subscriber hunni mi love the vibes so far couple seconds in.
Thank you!!
Hi Cutie on duty, any update?
This is sickening to know that work men in Jamaica work so cheap. Dont need people like you coming back to Jamaica to build. You have no conscience
I need your help..a man wants to change me to make my house for 24 million with material.. without material..12million.i believe it to exp
SAME HOW U DID YOUR THING IS HOW I'M DOING MY THING. JUST MAKE SURE EACH PERSON KNOW WHAT THEY'RE doing BECAUSE THEY CAN FRIG UP YOUR MA😢TERIALS WHICH WILL COST YOU.
Informative! Thanks for sharing sister.
I will not use Jamaican contractors. Me having to go behind adults to make sure they're doing their jobs and not stealing, is absolutely ridiculous.
good.jub
Thanks for that information
Thank you so much for this.
great advise.
Y'all have no idea, Jamaicans that sounded more like down south in America😂😂
Looking good..
The bank always want a lot of them
The bank takes more documents more than nht
Girl you need to put your number I need to contact you I need to bill
This is very informative, thanks for sharing.
The owner this place is a righteousness person may God bless her it very much reasonable
Cutie on duty, Jeana!
Sista girl, from you reach $100k for the trowel-on process my eyes wide open😮.
Lol and imagine I am trying to use the lower prices based on the range given
A+ For the presentation!
disk pad brake shoe similar, front and back. rings inside engine
Ah, okay! Thanks for coming through with the info.
That's part of the road of success
I feel that!
the stucco is a brand like K-Rite finish used in Europe and USA. Its more durable and quicker to install than sand and cement render
Thanks for clarifying for me!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your continued support @delifeofananna!
You forgot to mention the cost for the plan. Someone was quoting me around $250000 to draw up a plan and said it was discounted since I know him. He also said he does building. I am bit skeptical about knowing someone and letting them build your house, mark you we are not friends
That price you were quoted sounds like you're building a really big house! I posted a video on the many mistakes I made which could be helpful to you at this stage in the game.
Very informative, you got a new subscriber. Need to start saving now and I at least have an idea. Since this was 4 years ago, when I am ready, I will add $100k - $150k to each lined item. Better to be over than sort
I agree with having more than the amount! Best of luck on your journey!
It's always best to get the code for each room and procedures from parish council first then look in the stores at standard shower doors and then have the plan drawn up using the code. Remember furniture and fridge has to go through the doors so make the doors wide for furniture. Also if you are going to age in place make one floor or a bedroom on first floor. The house plan such be accessible for wheel chair
That bathroom is ridiculous and the prices are too much. It’s over priced
This was very informative. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
The price is very accurate my property is about 4000 sqft and i spent about 24,000,000 so far still got the landscaping to do and roof terrace my property is in stony hill
Many people didn’t really believe the price but thank you for your comment! I can only imagine how even more beautiful that property will be with landscaping done!
Congratulations! I saw ads!! 🎉🎉 Great video as usual. Hope your voice gets better soon... I do voiceovers on our channel and mayynne, the voice eva hoarse 😅
Thank you! At this point being hoarse is just a part of my persona lol
@@JeanaCavel 🤣🤣
Who did your bill of quantity?
Hi Kim, my dad did a rough estimate based on his knowledge and it was pretty close. Anything else, we just bought. I have a video on the channel with the first purchase order. I think it’s in the cost breakdown video.
I love your delivery and you're so funny 😊 🙏 ❤
Thank you! !
@@JeanaCavel the same thing happens in USA. I remodeled my townhouse after 18 years. All the bathrooms needed to be redone. The "contractor " didn't put the ring in one toilet and it leaked. . He had to cut out my downstairs ceiling then he bought the wrong tile for the bathroom floor and I told him while he was laying it. He said no. When he finished it was wrong. Shinny tiles in bathrooms can be slippery. I told him I needed matted ones. He insisted on ordering the stuff because he knew what was needed and I paid for it through Home Depot. I didn't know they get credit on their account . I had to returned something and I noticed the credit deducted from his account. He also installed the bottom shower bar backwards and the shower leaking. Be careful when hiring anyone and you smell weed on them. They are absent minded. They will do a lot of mistake.
If I haven't told you before, I love the way you edit your videos. Thanks for addressing the many questions.
Thank you! I’ve been learning how to use CapCut!
@@JeanaCavel Oh ok. I've heard great things about CapCut.
😘
I thought the number one question was, do you have a boyfriend? You are gorgeous! Do you?
Boy, I went by my land today with the architect. My head is spinning from the costing, but my God owns cattles upon a thousand hills.
He sure does! You got this Shanna, just keep going phase by phase.
Girl, I really rate you for sharing this. Some people only share the success stories when they know they lost a lot starting business. It’s actually soooo helpful to hear people talking about failing because it encourages people to keep trying even if they fail. As a person who also has had failed business attempts I will say we can never be 100% percent ready - things will always catch us off guard but the bravery is in trying. Kudos to you girl! You earned a new subbie!
Had to address this comment in my most recent video as this comment is super encouraging! Thank you!!!
Could I get the info for the draftsman u used ?
Check out my most recent video for a draftsman!
Appreciate yours videos, so very encouraging
I appreciate this comment!
Are you going to customize it and perhaps change the handles?
Nah, as my room is grey, white and silver so it matches perfectly!
Hello Cavel...wait are you Kelly or Cavel? Can't go back now. Hello Boss Lady! I'm so happy for you. Hats off, wig off! Big up yourself! I'm so excited for you! So your personality is so cool and easy. I just kept watching you and watching you. We broke ground in March 2024 to start this wonderful journey . I'm a person who has to count every cost before I start anything...But my husband told me he is doing the work so he'll take care of the minute details😮😅. When I came across your videos I was beyond extatic! I was taking pictures of the pricing clips to put together my book...my peace of mind book/ journal. Thanks for all your help. And best of all, all your details. You might not have thought somethings weren't important but every bit of it helped me! Thanks a lot. You have made my life a bit easier. I'm so proud of you. Many happy moments in your house Lady Michelle
Hi lady Michelle! My name is Cavel. Thanks for your thoughtful and kind words! I’m glad this was helpful to you and good luck on your journey!!
We are in the process of clearing the land and starting the foundation. We are searching for a drafts person. Any one in your arsenal? The project is in Manchester.
@@michellewaugh-smith3551 I only know someone in the St.Catherine, and Kingston/St. Andrew region. I left his number on a video. Call and see if he would do it.
Did you go to school for this? Do you own the land? If not whats the cost of the land? Did you hire a general contractor? Did you need planning approval?
And Andrew wah di utes spend 25 mil Fi Dem smt yah
I need help to find land can you help?
