What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bought 30 iron sheets at 19,500 KES, roofing poles at 4,600 KES, wall poles at 3,200 KES, nails at 2,600 KES, windows at 6,000 KES and paid 3,000 KES for labour to construct my house. I also bought a bag of maize at 3,000 KES. I am planning to buy cement with the remaining amount so as to plaster the house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I was living in a small dilapidated house which I had to constantly repair the walls which were being eroded by rain, but now I live in a big and better house which I do not have to constantly repair and the shame of living in a dilapidated house has been lifted off me.
