Sampson Paintsil solar system would be in addition to the $50k. Unless you build a tiny house for $35-37k and spend 12-13k on your solar. This also excludes the land purchase.

Thanks so much for all the info. I live in Virginia, U.S...originally from Ahafo Region in Ghana. Id like to get in contact with your architect. I have a 6-bedroom house in Kumasi, Ghana, and I want to build a partial 2nd level. I'm sure we could use his expertise.Your video has shed a great light. I initially kind of "built a skepticism around me", but your advice has encouraged me to make the next leap forward...even if at a slow pace.

They are currently doing the plastering for both the inside and outside of a two storey seven bedroom split building. Can you please tell me the full name of the chemical that you added to your mortar to stop any damp issues. I look forward to seeing your videos. Good luck and thanks.

@ natural Ghana girl Thoroughly enjoyed this video with Venassa . You will soon become a consultant for those building first time in Ghana, you have gained invaluable knowledge of material and quality control . Please refrain from calling the extra house on the compound ‘“boys quarters “ guests house is more appropriate. Boys house is embedded in British colonialism and slavery!!❤️❤️

It is so difficult watching videos like this because instead of us showing us what you are talking about, the camera person is busy trying to keep the commentators in the shot. Personally, this makes the video hard to follow. I see many African descent people trying to follow the European KZfaq video format and it doesn't work, the video is not about you. I still have no clue how the house looks
