What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I plastered the walls and floor of my main house with sand and cement and fitted it with a steel door and 4 steel windows. Initially, the house looked bad-its walls were made of clay that was nonuniform and therefore it appeared scary to us.
