I used a portion of the transfer to cement both walls and floor of house. Bought and fixed doors and windows because my former door was just a piece of iron sheet.I also paid my son in high school fee.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm relieved from frequent repair of my house because I managed to cement it. This see me live in a house with dust free floor. Apart from that, I enjoy my sleep during chilly nights compared to the days when I was covering myself with a bed-sheet because I managed to purchased a worm and soft blanket with my first transfer.
