    I spent 3.5million Jamaican dollars and got a split level 2 bedroom ,bathroom, living room,kitchen 2 verandah and a washroom fully rendered and tiled with plumbing and electrical all completed. The trick is to be your own contractor and gofo, hang around and go the the hardware yourself just be kind to the workmen and your house will be completed. Take the time out to see and know how your money is spent and don't just send money to Jamaica to ask anyone to do it.
