I bought 23 iron sheets at 16,100 KES, a steel door at 8,000 KES, 3 windows at 5,000 KES, wall poles at 10,000 KES and roofing poles at 5,000 KES as part of construction materials for my house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am living in a grass-thatched house that is leaking and has dilapidated walls, so am quite excited that I will be moving into an iron-sheet roofed house and much bigger where I will not be rained on and my belongings will not be destroyed.
