Another new house
Family member wanted to borrow $5000 to build a house on some land 10m x 15m that his mother in law had given them. Borrow usually means you never get paid back. Instead of handing over $5k and showing I'm rich, I opted to pay for it bit by bit. So far has cost about $3,000, for the 5m x 7 m building and he has showed me receipts for everything except the labour, $600, cause they have not finished yet. The floor is built up nearly 1m because the river behind sometimes floods.

Re: Another new house
And you see how holding back actually accomplishes things? Giving it all at one time would've lost it for sure!

There is probably about another $2,000 or more to spend on the roof, and tiles for the floor.
Will show a update when finished.

Re: Another new house
UPDATE,,,, Had the roof put on last week which cost $1,150, being $ 200 cheaper than the first quote.
Next on the list are floor tiles, price quoted is $650 for the 5m x 7m. . Paint $?? , leantoo roof at the back which will be used for cooking, and at the front, a roof with security grill on the sides which will be used as a shop. They already have a '' shop '' next door that sells the usual Cambodian bits and pieces .
