I bought 30 iron sheets at 18,600 KES and poles at 5,400 KES as part of materials to begin constructing my house. I also paid bride price for 15,000 KES and bought house furniture for 5,800 KES.

I am living in another person's house as I haven't built mine yet, so owning house once I begin construction will be a huge difference to me since I will have a place to call my own.
