What did you spend your third transfer on?
When it rains in our area it always floods so this really affected us because the water would enter in the house and this meant sleeping in a house filled with water which was so uncomfortable and also the toilet would sink in so after every rain season we would dig and dig a new toilet. so when I received my transfers from the first to the last I used it to raise the floor of the house and plaster and I also built a standard toilet and permanent one this time.
