The compendium of my building project level #3: Roofing And Plumbing Activated, Soakaway Completed
It doesn't matter the stress and pain you have to go through, what matters is if you are able to achieve your aim. The journey to complete my building project has not been Rosy but it is about 75% completed. This calls for joy.
In my last update, I told us that the block work was almost at the roofing level. Then, all around the building had been raised to roofing level, while the inside were yet to be raised and infact, most parts inside were yet to be completed with the chaining of the lintel. The carpenter delayed it but it's all done now.
As soon as the carpenter was done with his job, the mesons completed the pouring of the gravel morter to completely chain the whole building. Then, the next day, additional bricks were bought which were used to complete the bricks laying to the roofing level.
The soak away needed to be covered. We bought the materials which was mostly rods, gravel, sand and cement. The carpenter did his job again, the iron bender did his own job and then the gravel morter was poured to seal it up, leaving the openings for evacuation. The pictures below will explain the rest

With the all the brick work done and dusted, it was time for the building to be covered. Arrangements were made for the roofing materials which had been paid for since 2 weeks ago to be conveyed to the site. Thankfully, they were all taken to the site successfully. We then negotiated the workmanship and then the roofing began in earnest just a day ago.

In a week time, if all things should work out as planned, the roofing will be over.
The plumbing system has been paid for and they are being fixed. This is in preparation for our entrance as we can't go in without getting it ready. Thankfully, the work is ongoing
We have already made arrangements for the protectors for the windows to be done and the welder is getting them ready. I pray that they finish up and fix them as agreed.
The exit doors too have been arranged for and they are getting them ready along with the windows. Though not all windows will be fixed due to the cost. We will only get few ready and move in, while others will be fixed later.
I can't help but thank the Almighty for his mercies and goodness. It is one thing to have the fund to carry out a project, it is another thing to really carry it out. There are distractions but the Almighty is proving true to his word. He is really giving me the will to act and the work is gradually getting to the level that will make it habitable for us. I am so happy right now and I am eagerly waiting for the dream of owning a house and living in it to come to pass. I am gradually getting closer to the time when I will say goodbye to my present place of residence.
Let's see how it goes!
Until I come your way again, remain blessed! It is good to be good!

Esto es cierto, pero mucho mejor es ser bueno y tener la conciencia limpia 😊 porque JEHOVÁ nos observa hasta el más mínimo movimiento y de allí depende estar en su lista para disfrutar del paraíso o por el contrario en su lista de los que no podrán llegar allí.
Éxito !!!
