    Very interesting to see how haggling takes place and the process for buying goods for construction. I liked to see how the kids were collecting the saw dust for the cooking fires.

    Hi.. ES, quality wood is a top priority even though its expensive. In my country we use rosewood and kwila, very good for building and the building last for a very long time. Keep up the good works.❤❤

    I worked with an importer years ago who would ask her suppliers, "What is my price,?"
    We haggle for a reduced price all the time.
    My mother was queen of that and she was overly boldfaced about it too.

    Greetings!
    E S I'm calling u the " Boss Lady" and I don't mean it in a negative typical stereotype way of a mean, I gotta have it my way or else heads gonna roll. 🤨
    I mean "Boss Lady" as someone who has embraced where you are, staying open-minded to the different ways of a culture that does things different than what u may have been accustomed to. You give props to everyone you learn from. You also have a spouse who does the same for you with patience, respect, and love. WONDERFUL, BLESSED UNION!! you and Vinman show us how we can do much when we are willing to listen and embrace something done differently with RESPECT, PATIENCE & HONESTY. Now, from watching, I am edifyed on many things. THANK YALL ONCE AGAIN. 🫡👍😉🤗🥰

    Yes, you always need to bargain and because they want you to come back to buy, they’ll always reduce the cost for you. Just tell them that if they reduce it, you’ll always come back to buy more from them.
