What did you spend your third transfer on?
The floor of my house was plastered with soil, we mix soil water and cow dung to plaster and this exercise is always repeated so many times because it always wears out so fast and the walls too are made of soil so when it rains the walls will fall out, so for this reason when I received my last transfer I purposed to end this and plaster the floor with cement and the walls too.
