I will, but to be honest, now that it is habitable I have slowed down a lot.
I have been watching you in silence. You're doing amazing. I may be embarking on a similar journey. Can you share how much this build cost you?

Hi I can't give a definitive amount as its been a long process, but I think it cost around 120,000 pounds to build.

@@MelroseLewis that would be great. I have come across builders who have provided outrageous estimates (way over market price) simply because I am a foreigner and it has become so disheartening.

I hear you, it is just outrageous, taxi drivers, street vendors too many of them are pricing them self far too high when it come to overseas people. There still some honest and reasonable trades people, however. Where on the island are you planning to build? @@wrkit888
