    That’s a great price. You have literally built a bungalow for that price. Remember that it’s also mortgage free and no one can ever take it away from you because of a mortgage default. Well done!

      @@iTuber012 all Ghana’s lands are leased land. It’s no big deal and I have never heard of anyone losing their land due to the leasehold expiring. We have leasehold properties here in the UK too. It’s nothing major.

    Am I the only one who finds it distracting when Kwame interjects/interrupts Dela from behind the camera? I know Kwame doesn't want to be in front of the camera but it makes it hard to watch sometimes. Maybe he should reconsider. Dela clearly knows what she's talking about and its great to watch her presenting assertively. Could open doors for other presenting opportunities.

    UK You didn’t make us enjoy the building by moving from room to room to appreciate the sizes. Normally listeners would love to know the amount spent on the foundation, amount spent to lintel level, the cost of first floor flow, then the roofing. Though the finishing takes takes double or triple if not more, builders think once the have the structure roofed, they have a house. It it would interest some of us to know some providers you used like the type of roofing company. Did you use metal trusses instead of wood and reason why you used wood. I enjoyed your presentation from start to finish because it wasn’t boring at all and the gentle who interrupted made it so much fun. I hope you would make a follow up clip very soon.
