With regards to the house, It's an amazing addition to the original boys quarters house. I'm loving it. I can't get enough of the journey they are on as I'm eager to see the completion.

    Please refrain from calling the extra house on the compound ‘“boys quarters “ guests house is more appropriate. Boys house is embedded in British colonialism and slavery!!❤️❤️

I have a 6-bedroom house in Kumasi, Ghana, and I want to build a partial 2nd level. I'm sure we could use his expertise.Your video has shed a great light. I initially kind of "built a skepticism around me", but your advice has encouraged me to make the next leap forward...even if at a slow pace.

    It’s always an inspiration to see your building and the hard graft you guys are putting in. I’m at the same stage as you guys, also sharing very similar experiences. They are currently doing the plastering for both the inside and outside of a two storey seven bedroom split building. Can you please tell me the full name of the chemical that you added to your mortar to stop any damp issues. I look forward to seeing your videos. Good luck and thanks.

    It is so difficult watching videos like this because instead of us showing us what you are talking about, the camera person is busy trying to keep the commentators in the shot. Personally, this makes the video hard to follow. I see many African descent people trying to follow the European UA-cam video format and it doesn't work, the video is not about you. I still have no clue how the house looks
