Hi, welcome to my TH-cam channel 👋🏽
My name is Patience...
Hoping my videos will inspire someone to have a go at whatever they have been procrastinating about and learn something that will give value to your day.
Fear will rob you of going after your goals and dreams so, 'face the fear and do it anyway.'
It's taken me 5 years to talk myself into doing TH-cam due to fear. So today (16th Sept 2021), I've decided to do it anyway... starting with my house building project in GHANA! Hope you come along on the journey with me ✈
Family~Inspiration~Travel~Going after my goals and living outside my comfort zone plus lots and lots of food! 😉
In all your endeavours, remember to trust God... HavePatience.. #believeforit!

Yes, this problem was happening years ago. It’s common in Ghana and Africa due to short cuts.
It’s extremely common in the U.K. due to the climate in older properties. If it appears in new properties or properties like ours it’s a sign that damp proofing wasn’t used.
There is no permanent solution other than prevention during the foundation and construction.
10 months a year isn’t long enough to know if the treatment has work. 2-5 years (depending on the method of treatment) before the damp either reappears or treatment needs to be repeated.
I work in construction and spoke to my colleagues and done research. I had to do treatment in my property in Ghana last year. I had damp proof specialist assess my property.
My developer didn’t damp proof the whole estate.
I think you’re a rockstar lady….no need to feel embarrassed about anything. Your pretty too🎉
Thank you ☺️
Hello I came across your video from just browsing. I am a waterproofing specialist, the waterproofing paint you are using is a short term fix you will get water coming back through your walls. It's no fault of yours or the workers. It happens all over africa and the reason this is because the builders in africa don't know and have not been taught how to prevent water penetration. It is not just you so do not feel embarrassed. Anyone who has a house in africa has the same issue. I can't wait to come out to africa next year and actually correct alot of work and show the builders how to correctly prevent water. Because it's alot more technical then what they know and they are plastering completely wrong when it comes to water proofing.
Sister, also make gutters in the compound to direct water rain water away from the house strategically. This is a worry

Your banister, doors and wall decor is killing 🎉

"Good, job.😀.
Thanks!
Patience this is a very gracious video.
People in the previous comments were speaking out of concern for you and your wallet.
Lots of us have built and know how exhausting it is and the skillset of Masons. You're doing great and its ok to bring in an occasional specialist. It saves money in the end.

If cement quality is a problem then contractors should probably consider waterproofing chemicals in the mix during foundation and ground floor work. Sorry you’re going through this.

I think as a country, we just don’t share knowledge. Trassaco has been building in water log areas and in hardly hear about water dumping and no one could tell what they do to prevent that.
It’s sad most of us have to be worried about the mess.
What kind of filtration system are you using for your borehole?
Don't have a borehole, unfortunately
