    I am also building at home and its nice to see others who are doing it. At home they are superstitious so I can't share videos until the build is done, but I have been taking footage to create a video when its done. Thanks for sharing.

      Congratulation on your house project at home... it's good that you are taking videos and pictures you will create beautiful memories... it's always nice to go back to the pictures of the before and then to check out the after pictures.

    Thank you so much for sharing this brother. Lots of insights. Would you say this type of slab is cheaper or more expensive than a pour-on slab? I'm kind of stuck between the two for my house.

    • @LifeWithBliga
      @LifeWithBliga  4 місяці тому +1

      For the beam & block slab is much cheaper if I were to compare it with the shatter board slab, because there are so much material which is being purchased to be use and after the slab is complete you no longer need those material, like the shatter boarder and round poles.

    Well done. Watching from Germany. What's the mixture ratio of cement, sand and quarry for the blocks made on your site? Also which size of quarry chippings did you use for the blocks. And the dimensions of your blocks?
    Or can you shear a video of how the concrete hollow blocks were made?
    Thank you in advance.

    Mixing concrete with no machine not advisable as river sand & concrete can easily separate from cement result in weak concrete slab.
    but otherwise the house is beautiful & it'll not cause you issues since it's only a double story..

    Quick question bro...ask the builder for me kur is it possible or allowed to make your own bricks when building a double storey like this or I can only buy those Clay bricks then use my own bricks on the upper level... Just thinking of cutting some costs... Also thank you for letting us know kur ready mixed concrete is too cost yeah I'm definitely going to cut it out too

    • @LifeWithBliga
      @LifeWithBliga  5 місяців тому +4

      Yes, I can ask him that for you, but his recommendation for the double storey is to build using stock bricks doesn't matter whether you buy them or make them yourself as long as it is strong. He doesn't recommend block bricks on a double storey as he mention that as time goes the house with start to experiencing cracks. I know with Block bricks there is a lot of money to be saved.
