I just finished doing the same thing .. a lot of work girl .. mine was a 8 bedroom story building I’m exausted! But I wish you all the strength and patience especially dealing with our people
You deserve a year off!!! 8?! And our people is why I'm giving myself 12 months. They really know how to increase a person's blood pressure 😞😞😞😂
This is a huge building project! Before you start please settle on what you want to use it for. Selling or renting? that way you can decide the level of finishing to attract the right tenant.
Honestly, either way, I plan on making everything neutral to allow for future customizations. I'd love to sell it, though. Everyone disagrees, unfortunately
Yay!!! Excited to watch this series!
Me too and it's in your hometown 🙌🏿
You never cease to amaze me! Such a goalgetter
I'd say same about you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
AAAHHHHHHH SHE IS BACK ON UA-cam. STAY CALM RACHEL, STAY CALM !! 😅😅😅
I'm baccckkkkk
So exciting! Really looking forward to the end result 💃🏾🥳
Me too
Yaaaay finally !!!
Better late than never 😌
I've always wondered why in Ghana homes built had internal windows on the bedrooms. I dont think its on the modern ones of today. Great if you could get this renovated. Nice to see you back.
It's definitely getting sealed but even till this day, I see modern homes with these windows. Makes you wonder.
Hey! Long time sis. Happy to see you post☺️
Me too! 😄😄😄 it's been a while
Will be watching from THE BAHAMAS.
Nice. Thank youuu
Pretty girl is baacckk!
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
keep it up
Thanks
My advise to you is demolish the structure & put up a new/modern one. The the blocks haven't been left to the mercy of weather wo paltering, I see rising dump meaning foundation wasn't built right (no dampproof, DPM). The structure you have now won't cost even $30K to replace. You will have peace of mind by building a new house
Thanks for your professional opinion. I appreciate it. It costs 3 times that as it stands, and I have had it looked at by engineers, as I mentioned. It'll be handled the right way.
So at 2:57 I thought I was seeing things 😅😅. I was like it's there 2 Nana or there is an old mirror. When the other Nana started walking, i fell off my chair 😂😂 because i thought i was truly loosing my mind😂😂😂. Anyway i am excited to follow this journey 🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆 you are seeing double!!!!
This should be a fun series! I think "garage bed," as funny as it might be, is better than "boy's quarters," considering the colonial baggage.
You know what! I said that a few days ago because what did they mean by master bedroom 🤔? We need updated real estate terminology.
@@NanaAshanti I've noticed some Americans say "main bedroom" or "owner's suite" instead
That sounds a lot better. I'll take it for a spin. 😆
Location sis?
👀👀👀
First time to your channel. I recently completed a similar project on our family home, took me 2 visits (5months in all). We are also close to the sea and had to buy aluminium roofing.
You have a good project manager and plans which is far better than most people.
I wish you all the patience, money and expertise you will need.
A few things:
1). IMPORTANT. Stamp your authority on the project from now, please stay near by and visit daily.
2). Get a solar powered cctv camera with a SIM card slot asap so you can monitor the site at all times.
3). Source all the major purchases yourself and get _multiple_ quotes. Double check every price. I made our artisans use a local store and the owner had my number and saved me a few times.
4). Make provision for hybrid solar power generation and changeover so electricians wont have to make major structural changes when you are finally ready to install it. All the best Nana.
Thank you. This is so solid. I appreciate your response 👍 🙏🏿
@@NanaAshantiYour build is very similar to ours! Nana, I beg you, keep your eyes moving round and round and ask questions to everyone about everything. You are a beautiful snack in the middle of sharks.
Ask the project manager for the Bill of Quantities. Include the numbers in your spreadsheet of costs and payments. Have a schedule - use it to guide your weekly discussions with the project manager: what are the tasks for the week, how many blocks on site, how many bags of cement, how much wood etc. Check it against your spreadsheet. Track your costs- cement has gone from 85 cedis to 120- so keep a record.
Ask the apprentices regularly if they have eaten and ensure they have been paid. They will appreciate your care. If necessary pay quietly for food, these young boys see everything, and if they like you and consider you to be fair, they will be your eyes. It's through these young apprentices I found my small problems before they became big problems. The project manager will only tell you what he wants you to know.
Quick tip: When you are frustrated with someone, ask them to go outside the gate with you to talk. Dont yell and dont embarrass people. It's a big expensive project, so don't be afraid to ask people to leave if you aren't happy.
All the very best!!😊
Thank youuu so much
Put a caretaker in there until after the project is done
My neighbor did that and the person refused to move after the fact. I'd rather buy security doors. Our people have no gratitude.
