Please make sure to watch all the ads so Vanessa can generate enough money for her dream house 🙏🏾😅. Great content sis.
I honestly love how different the style of Dela’s home is. It’s not the traditional Ghanaian home style. It’s beautiful 😻

I totally agree in the $50k amount.... we still have to add our wall and with that we will be close to that amount. We built a standard western style home 3 beds and 2 baths in Tamale.
As you know Im a sub to Both your channels and I love what you are doing in bringing us great positivee images from Africa which breaks down the often negative stereotypes of the continent. With regards to the house, It's an amazing addition to the original boys quarters house. I'm loving it. I can't get enough of the journey they are on as I'm eager to see the completion. Keep doing what you're doing Venessa. Your an astute youtuber and may God bring you and your family an abundance of blessings. 🇬🇧🇯🇲🙏🏾
Dela is stunning! I get Michaela Coel vibes from her.
Had no idea Vanessa was that tall lol, saw allot of her vids in the past, but your project GHANA GIRL Was my main inspiration for finally deciding fly over to Ghana and buy a property 🙌 thanks much
Dela has got the most brightest smile. Its beautiful. Nice video Vanessa
This is going to be a beautiful house when it’s all done. Looking forward to seeing the final build.
I love her energy and personality. More blessings for your success!
So glad my 2 favorite KZreadrs finally met. All love and respect!! you both should do more ventures together..
This house is going to be so beautiful
I love your channel and all the contents you create, and this house idea of rather putting on still pillers rather than breaking the older house down. This an amazing idea. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great to see you both together. Love the positive energy you both transmit. Hope the project is completed smoothly - look forward to seeing it completed. 💚💚
You guys are going to be living off the grid. That's awesome!
Nice one Vanessa and Della. Stay blessed🙏
Great Video Ladies... two of my favorite KZreadrs. Love seeing the progress and walkthrough of the house 💕
Thanks for the vid, Vanessa.
This is a massive house , all the best hope you manage to finish the house soon

This is top notch , thank you ladies 🙏🙏♥️♥️
So nice, I hope we can get to see the final product 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m sat here with my jaw on the floor😯,they are pumping money into this project.
I m very exited to see the final resultats. It will be defnitly great and beautiful when she will decorate it. 👍
Lady V Pleasure is mine watching your "chats"..Very good to see beloved country and how great people are investing in it.. Keep it up Khophi

Vanessa thanks for asking the right questions. I wish she would have been more direct in her answers. Keep doing your awesome work! It is definitely helping me with my vision when I move there.
Berla, this is so great
You 2 are beautiful ❤️
You girls arr having too much fun❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have been watching her channel. I thought it was a house for her to live in wow
Great idea 💡...to go solar!!!
I love this africa map
I am going back home also and want some place to lay down roots!
Nice one
This is an eye opener,50 thousand dollars will surely get you a beautiful house,and the solar system that’s great to know,very good vlog

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.
It’s real nice ngl
J love her door flames.
Id also like to learn a bit about solar power, as I'm interested in using solar in the very near future
Vanessa your presentation is Great. Do u travel back and forth from UK to Ghana for filming? Just curious 🤔 lol
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you Queen 👑
GOD'S BLESSINGS- GREAT AMBITION
It’s always an inspiration to see your building and the hard graft you guys are putting in. I’m at the same stage as you guys, also sharing very similar experiences. 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 KZread video format and it doesn't work, the video is not about you. I still have no clue how the house looks
