I spent the whole of my second transfer on building a five room house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having a bigger house which fits my family. Previously I was staying in a single room house the size of a latrine that couldn't even contain a chair. Everyone int he village is surprised because no one believed I could own such a house. Funnily enough everyone in the village has now copied my building style.
