What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I finished the construction of my main house that I had started with the second transfer. I am pleased with it since my former one was too tiny to accommodate us well-it was made of 3 rooms which was not enough for all my household members-they could hardly get a room to sleep more comfortably but since I constructed the new one of 6 rooms, we have been enjoying the adequate space and privacy that we really craved for.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I extended my main house from 30-60 iron sheets. My former house was too tiny to accommodate us well and to make it worse, I could always feel embarrassed when visited by friends since they could not get places to sleep.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live in a more spacious house that accommodates us well together with my guests. Our former one was too tiny to offer us comfort that we needed for instance, it was poorly ventilated which was a health concern to us and again, it could violate our privacy within the household since I have children who are above 18 years and there things we shouldn't unveil to them.
