I have to pause a few times too to gather money, I have not borrowed any form of money and now I reach tiling. Proud of anyone that trying to have a roof over their head.❤
You have done very well. I am battling after 3 years, I have deck the first floor. But still have to finish inside. Yes I am a big woman too 57 and still trying to get something done to leave to my children..God Bless
Thank you! Most of us like myself started building in later years, but it’s the fact that we started is important, our children can also work and finish it up. God bless you keep going!❤️
Congratulations on your project success, it’s coming together beautifully, yes we have to take breaks and save money and return and continue to build our dream house, enjoy the journey of building and enjoy Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
Hey I did the same thing getting roof is a great feelings am 52 n it's been 7 years building I had to give myself breaks mental heath. Roof is expensive.
I am going to make a comment, i hope people dont take this out of context, why do we build so much house? Meaning, too big, its not necessary, we dont have big families anymore.
True words. I had to catch myself too. As soon as the money comes in, I send it to Jamaica. But im slowing down and trying to live a little. Thanks for sharing
Love how upstairs look it nice and spacious and well on its way. Like my mom said we didn’t come this far to choke now. Take a deep breath and press on and remember your house is your bank account you didn’t squander the money.
I think am in the same spot as you, where we feel everything is coming to a head and there are so many demands for the limited funds. I currently have the plumber, electrician and window people working at the same time and am like a who a go pay them??😂 But as much as I want to go full speed ahead and not deprive anyone of work I had to say listen take three weeks off I can’t afford you right now.
Good advice. I’m still to put planning application in. We just finished the final draft so any day soon my engineer will visit the council. He has my motorized letter of authorization already as I’m overseas. You’ve done well. I’ll continue to follow your journey and sending prayers up for you. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’ll help so many of us. God bless👊🏾🙏🏾.
I’m not sure of the exact area covered, but let’s say if the slab thickness is 4” inches, 45cubics yards x81 inches. I’m not sure what’s the regulatory requirements in Jamaica as to the thickness, but very good question!❤👍 thanks
I am so proidbof you .happy to know you got up brush off and start again after ehat yoi have been through with the thieve am sure in cotch in some woman house
@@smlifestyle1811 So great full for replying toy question . I do know that the English pound is strong at present,I only found that out recently...Why? Seeing that the UK is way behind other major output in exporting it's good,being out of the European Union.
I covered 2 bedrooms, 2 living &dining and 2 kitchens,2 varandas, and a little side patio, 2 bathrooms, only left the two front rooms for roofing. Thank you!❤
@smlifestyle1811 Beautiful!! Girl, don't mine me asking, but when you said over one million to cover it, my heart drops because I'm looking to cover mine. How do you work out 1600 to cubic yards? 6 feet thick
Not yet, this is just for the upstairs and it’s a rough estimate, not a total breakdown. Many a times at the hardware store buying more of what they needed is not included, I’ll have to do a video on everything when it’s completed. Thank you!❤
I had bought this land through NHT from I was living there years ago. It would be best you get a trustworthy realtor, and go there to view some properties . All the best!❤

Congrats on your building! That’s what I’m talking about, we want to see the building finished, and don’t take time out for ourselves. Thank you!❤
I am going to make a comment, i hope people dont take this out of context, why do we build so much house? Meaning, too big, its not necessary, we dont have big families anymore.
Could be an investment property. And owning a house is an asset, so if you can.. why not? Generational wealth
Yes we all need some self time. I had to pause a few times, regroup and come again!.
That’s the right way, but my anxiety gets the best of me 😂
Love your msg, thank you.
True words. I had to catch myself too. As soon as the money comes in, I send it to Jamaica. But im slowing down and trying to live a little. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much! “We didn’t come this far to choke” good one 👍❤
I’m building out of pocket no loan and it’s not easy big up yourself and keep going.
That’s the way to go! No loan with heavy interest 👍❤
Project coming on fine🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤By the grace of God one day 🙏🏽

House ya big man 👍🏾
It’s a multi family home 😊👍
Blessings
Thank you!❤
That’s a very big house. Good luck to those who like big houses. I’d rather stick with the two bedroom house in a gated community..
I totally agree! It’s not an easy task 👍❤️
😂 sq ft cost it's more expensive to buy those tiny 🏡
Good look sis. I’m in st Thomas and they charge $30,000 per cubic yard.
Oh my goodness! And I thought it was expensive here. Thank you!❤
Nice video,Im encouraged by it to start my own building . Did you shop around for the best premix cost?🎉
Yes you should start 👍I did they’re all pretty much same pricing
Thanks for the information.....how. high is your ceiling please
The ceiling is a little over 9ft,I was thinking it’s too low so I personally measured it 😂

How do you convert the Uk pounds to the jamaican dollar..
Few years ago,ot was about twenty dollars to a english pound.Right or wrong.Advise?
I’m not sure what’s the going rate for uk, but for the USD it’s 145 buying or 150. The Jamaican currency keeps falling 😢

How many rooms upstairs did you covered hun?
I covered 2 bedrooms, 2 living &dining and 2 kitchens,2 varandas, and a little side patio, 2 bathrooms, only left the two front rooms for roofing. Thank you!❤

Which company u used to cast the roof?
@@mindgamemuzik1189 Hardrock construction and concrete phone (876)547-0041 or 503-8325
Are you doing a running total? Like for the entire money you spent from foundation to now?
Not yet, this is just for the upstairs and it’s a rough estimate, not a total breakdown. Many a times at the hardware store buying more of what they needed is not included, I’ll have to do a video on everything when it’s completed. Thank you!❤
Things like electrical, plumbing
Hi can you tell me the name of the zinc please
Hey! It’s Tropical metal roofing the name of the company. 0.45mm ECO Tiles ALU-ST/COTTA you can google and check their website for pricing
Then I had to dress the roof after it was done
The dressing is another expense, I’m thinking of using drywall instead
What town are you in? I need help getting land in Jamaica but don’t know where to start, can you give a helping hand
I had bought this land through NHT from I was living there years ago. It would be best you get a trustworthy realtor, and go there to view some properties . All the best!❤
I love your answer, keep safe.
