Great video and thank you for sharing. That is thoughtful for helping mom. Blessings and keep us the good job you are doing. Shalom
Thank you 🙏🏾
Quite exquisite
Thank you 😊 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
very nice progress brother, so useful having the rooftop space also
Thank you brother 🙏.
Very nice building
Thank you Dzifa 🙏🏾.
Just subscribed. Love the beautiful smiles all around .
Thank you 😊. I really appreciate it 🙏🏾
The finishing for this property is not going to be cheap
It definitely wont be cheap. My guess is that it will be 1.5 to 2 times the cost to build the main structure but I will tackle it one project at a time so that the cost is spread over what will be months if not years 😀
Big ups Did I hear ASCP exams? Need some assistance with that.
thank you 🙏🏾 . I knew that part wasn’t clear enough… I’m studying for the CPA exams. ASCP is for the ultra smart folks lol.
Alright 😅
I'm sure your mom is proud of you for fulfilling your promise
She is very proud 🥹 🙏🏾
Kudos brother
Thank you 🙏🏾
Beautiful mountain view! What location is this in Ghana?
Oyarifa Ghana flag area 🙏🏾
U either own a home or u rent for the rest of ur life. No matter expensive it is to build its 100x worth it than renting. Rent prices will keep rising as the years go by and if u calculate all those monies u will realise it's better to build.
💯 agree with you. I’m pacing myself now but I can’t wait to finish it. The feeling of accomplishment will be priceless!
Hey Michael, let’s link up. What’s your contact?
Remain blessed bro.
Thanks bro 🙏🏾
Nice Work Bro 👍🏾🙏🏾... The iron rods which mm did you use for decking.and for the footing or foundation?...thank you
I used 16mm for the pillars and beams and I used 12mm for everything else. 10mm for the rings. 🙏🏾
@michaelkale7572 thanks Bro....👍🏾🙏🏾
Good morning sir
Good morning
Thanks for sharing body
Im interested to learn more about how you trade on eBay...can you do a video on that please
I made an overview video of the main aspects of selling on eBay. I will make more videos on it going into details on every aspect 🙏
Interested. What’s to learn more
I posted a general overview video on my channel last week. I will definitely put out more videos on the topic. 🙏
Great content, i think you will have to cap the tree if you dont want to remove the tree then cap it so it cant grow too tall and spoil the foundation
You are right. I think I will cut it and work on the landscaping once all the construction is done. 🙏
Nice work Bro👍🏾👍🏾...is Beautiful good work... The first floor casting which type of MM IRON RODS did you use for the casting?...thank you
I used 16MM for the beans and pillars and 12MM for weaving (I’m not sure if that the right word but you know what I mean 😀)
@michaelkale7572 oh Ok ...that's nice good job Bro..thanks🙏🏾
What do you sell On eBay
I started selling everything but I soon realized I didn’t enjoy that. So now I focus mostly on hard goods and shoes.
@@michaelkale7572 I do the same thing I would to ask you a few questions or interview you because i never thought people Africa’s deals with eBay
Good evening
Greetings 👋 🫡
Michael I salute your hustle and encourage you to keep it up. Be focus and always give out your best. I am interested in the eBay sales ventures but I will like to know more. Thanks.
Thank you for the encouragement! I'm glad to hear you're interested in eBay sales. It's a great platform with a lot of potential. I am going to make content delving deeper into every aspect of selling on the platform. In the meantime if you have specific questions feel free to ask me and I will be happy to share what I know. 🙏
It’s home. Home is home. Legacy is the thing. Anyone who thinks beyond themselves knows doing projects in Ghana can help our siblings to also dream.
Fact! 💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥
Yes, interested in econmerce.
Thank you for the feedback. I will start making videos on the topic very soon. I need to organize my knowledge and make sure I am concise and not boring 😀
I just subscribed to
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing it gives us ideas, can you share your suppliers and contractors. Also are you onsite or family?
You’re welcome 🙏 I am not onsite. My brother has been my foreman from the foundation all the way to the current level. He deals with the contractors/artisans and also the purchasing of the materials. I just supervise from afar to make sure they’re doing things to my liking.
Chale it’s not easy three flows wow. I’m doing three buildings at the same time irons rods is killing me😮
Chale it’s not easy oo😀. I have 3 more tons to buy to do a covered space on the rooftop. I want to put my poly tanks and solar panels up there otherwise I would have gone for regular roof.
@@michaelkale7572 I’m also like you living in New jersey building three buildings at one time!
@@gnunoo keep it up bro 🫡🫡🫡 soon you will be done and you will look at it and feel proud. I was working on 2 projects at the same time but I felt like I wasn’t making enough progress on each one so I paused the other one to focus on just this one in the video for now.
@@michaelkale7572 yeah bro I am Pushing each time I see small progress it gives me vim to push on more
Hi, Thanks for sharing your building experience. It looks great, keep up the good work. You are absolutely right about the importance of creating multiple sources of income. I do not want to continue living the way I do today. It is barely living, all I do is pay bills😞. I definitely want to know more🙏🏾
Thank you 🙏. I will definitely make a video about how to start selling online. It’s a lot of hard work but it will pay off eventually.
Good video Michael but you should remake the video with more details. Compare the complete total cost of the houses when payment is completed and also the dangers of falling behind on your mortgage regardless of how many years you’ve been paying Most of the initial ten year payment literally goes towards interest payment and much as building in Ghana can be daunting as some stages are money intensive, but you can genuinely see your investment as yours versus paying 4 years continuously and then missing 3 monthly payments, that house may go back to the bank very quickly
Absolutely! Because I’m new to making TH-cam videos I didn’t want to make my videos too long for now. I will definitely revisit this topic as the channel grows.❤
how is the IT job in texas and how much you got the house
I’m not very well informed in the IT industry but from what my friends in the industry say, it’s easy to get an IT job with the right qualifications (not necessarily college degrees). Also, most of the big well known companies have some sort of presence in Texas. I paid mid 400s for my house and it’s appreciated a lot since we closed. 🙏
Keep the windows bigger
I settled on 9ft wide windows in the front. Almost ceiling to floor.
Is the cost of the land included? How much is a truck of sand (16m2), cement (100kg) and steel per kilo?
The cost of the land isn’t included just the structure. The last time I bought sand , it was 2,600 cedis and a ton of steel is now 7,700 cedis the last time I bought it. 🙏
@@michaelkale7572 Thank you.
What is the land size?
@@daoudaniane7530 100 x 100 ….feet
Mike. as long as you can protect the wood from theft and from weather, it is absolutely worth.
💯 we have 3 stores in front of the house so the plan is to treat the wood with some chemicals and save it in one of the stores until we’re ready for the next project.
I think the views make the bedroom you choose, the best, Michael! Good job with the project!
Thank you 🙏🏾
How much is the land and which area is your project is located ? I would like to get a land and learn more from you .Thanks
The land is in Ghana and it was purchased in 2004 🙏
@@michaelkale7572, nice investment 👍🏿👍🏿
More grease to your elbows, Michael!
Thank you 🙏
Can’t wait to see the interior all finished
