"My top priority is to use a significant portion of my transfer money to repair my house because of its current poor condition. For the purpose of repairing the roof, I intend to buy iron sheets because they are more robust. I will purchase cement, sand, and a few stones to use in the construction of sturdy walls to reinforce the mud walls. I'll feel more secure knowing that my property is secure if I have a good house. The house will be warmer than it was before, which will also benefit my health."
