    Those windows and doors makers did a terrible job. Also the roofers weren't good either. Now I get why you had fire 🔥 them. But your calmness assures me that all things will be fine. Bravo 😊

      Yea, most of the fundis let me down, big time. Cz they could tell that I had no construction experience.
      I'll be telling my story with fundis in an upcoming vlog sometime.

    Put Gutters Around The Rooftop And Put The Tank On The Lower Level To Collect RAIN WATER For Back Up. There Is A Blockage Somewhere. Get A Proper Plumber That Knows What They Are Doing. Water Retaining On The Lands Can Affect Foundation If It Is Not Strong Enough

    • @EmmilyTiampati
      @EmmilyTiampati  6 месяцев назад +1

      I have 2 5lt tanks that collect rain water. This was an extra one to help deliver water into the house.
      True water can affect the foundation. Hopefully mine was done right 🙏🏿🙏🏿
      Thanks for the advice. I got a plumber. I'll be updating you guys soon.

    Jerking of doors and windows by the welder/fabricater is the problem. You need to call them to straighten them and make them lie flat on each other also close those gaps. That's the only problem. Shinda ni welder didn't jerk them.
    Sometimes it means removing the glasses to twist them to collect angles ( jerking) which apparently wasn't done before installation or before delivery. Door bottom can be added"weld" a bar to cross the gap.
    Install the tank to prevent damage. Filling with water protects it from cracking.

    • @EmmilyTiampati
      @EmmilyTiampati  6 месяцев назад

      Wow Sarah, quite an informative comment.
      The welder knew early on that I had issues with his final products. He promised to come with a generator cz sina stima bado.
      It's now almost a year since, bado anakujanga 🙄
      Regardless, the burden is now on me to figure out how to resolve these issues. Thanks a lot for your input. It will help a lot!

    Hey Emmilly, despite the few issues with construction you have done very well for yourself. I have been dreaming of moving back home and constructing a home and your experience is valuable but most of all I now know that it’s safe to build in the rural areas and make a simple life for myself and child. Thank you for sharing your journey.

      Hi Lucille, absolutely!
      Rural living is great from my experience.
      You get more land/space at a cheaper price, than in urban areas. You've just got to be aware of the challenges, and be willing to live with them.
      Thank you so much, and all the best in your relocation journey 🙏🏿

    Could also be that the pump is not powerful enough to pump water to that height.

    • @EmmilyTiampati
      @EmmilyTiampati  6 месяцев назад

      True, but it has pumped some water before a couple of times. The last few times, I wasn't able to pump hata kidogo. So I'm thinking there could be an issue with the pipping. But we'll figure it out God willing.

    If u want that to be strong,the best way for putting it ,is to dig a trench,and when u are putting it 1/4feet can go in to a trench and then put back the soil,the fence would be strong.and also using solar is the best idea,I have been using solar for the last 17year,until now ,I have changed the battery once,but only if u can get a good electrician.

    Something needs to be done about the gap in the door.

      I honestly can't remember the cost estimate. Maybe you should show a reliable fundi the structure and hear what estimate they'd give you.
      I've had several fundis work on the structure, plus I honestly didn't keep track of it's material, and labour expenditures.
