What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my third transfer to plaster the walls and floor of my main house and since then, I don't need to maintain the walls of the house all the time from collapsing. Initially, I used to smear the house with mud and cow dung and it was really a tedious task since getting the smearing materials was not easy-I had to walk longer distances.
