Growing up as a kid, I thought building your own home was as easy as reading the alphabets in English. I thought all you needed was a car to fetch you sand, buy cement and start building wherever you feel like. I thought it was as easy as building our historical Christmas huts out of palm branches. Little did I know that building a house was one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish.
The task has even become much more difficult as there are now a thousand and one problems to be faced just to build a home. If your land is not sold to someone else leading to confusion, then you just dodged one bullet in Accra. That’s not the end, you will have to face the fast rising prices of building materials which can make you wonder if the materials were shipped from Planet Mars.
But in all these troubles, one must find a place to lay his head, a place you can call home. If you have a plot and you are wondering where to get money to start a project, let me give you a piece of advice. Start something affordable and complete it quickly, then you will stop spending money paying expensive rent. Only then can you find your own peace of mind and think of doing something bigger.
