BUILDING IN GHANA | SWIMMING POOL & ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS 

Gad's response to the pregnant fish😂🤣😂 comment is simply the best! They must build theirs for us to see.

Lovely.. But please go for natural grass and plants. It will be great and you can always get someone to help cut the grass. There are too many concrete compounds and artificial grass in Ghana. That's partly why Accra is so hot and there's also flooding in many parts of Accra. We need to get back to learning to live with nature, it's beautiful. Let's also all do our bit to help fight climate change by plantinh trees and grassb 😘😘😘.

The man was rude, disrespectful and full of jealousy. You chose what you believe it's best for you not him telling you the choice of bricks and all what not. Some people are just too bitter to celebrate with others for their success. You guys have come along way. Congratulations!

Gad's response to Mr Voodoo's comment was perfect. "Build yours and show us how it is done" . The comment itself was a bit crude and disrespectful only because of the 3 words "sweating like pregnant fish", everything else he said made a lot of sense and I have myself been wondering about natural alternatives to building with cement which readily conducts heat and is not the healthiest substance to work with or environmentally friendly to produce . Regarding your swimming pool the positioning is a problem as there is little privacy in the unoccupied land site. I would consider siting a very tiny pool at the rear of the house for privacy and easy access.

People always got something negative to say, your house is beautiful! Keep doing what you are doing, I love the pool ideal, yes much cheaper! The most high is awesome. soon I will building my house!❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Great response by Gad to Mr.Vudu. Do fish actually sweat.😁😁

Why not sell the gate and buy new one... Don't damage the wall pillars I don't recommend that

I love the sound of avocado 🥑 tree. My grandmother had one in her garden that was very tasty in sandwiches. 😋

Your videos are always inspiring. I am building in Shai Hills and have learnt alot from following your videos. Stay focus as always. Comments such as Voodoo's can only distract you from your fine works. Just ignore where necessary. Keep the good work up.

Thanks for the shout out and I'm also glad you finally found Gad's hydrangeas. Please go with natural grass instead of artificial. It's maintenance is not all that scary. Keep up the good job.

The wooden type swimming 🏊 pool will be great. 👍

Wow!, I admire you both for all the clips and the good work done in your mother land. You inspire me so much. You two are such a blessing

Yes, you should definitely get some greenery as part of the Landscaping and you could consider a mix of fruits trees alongside the avocado Excellent 👏🏿👏🏿

I like the way you handled the guy's comments. Point is, a lot of people have good ideas to contribute but lack the manners to do that. It's a serious pandemic that can only be cured by proper domestic education and change.

Wow. The landscape looks very clean already. Well done guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hello Asha and Gad... please l live in Uk and building a house in Ghana. I am more concern about the security system in ghana and any recommendation. Thank you

Sweating like a pregnant fish 🤣🤣 never knew fish sweat 🤔. Just keep doing your brilliant educational vlogs we love watching it here in 🇬🇧. One question, will you still be vlogging once your house is complete and your settled in😀. Blessings

This "vodoo channel" guy paa.. Very rude indeed. Btw I really like your response to him/her 😂😂

God Bless you and your beautiful wife I love her response to Mr Vodu lo quality mehn

Better to go for an In Ground pool. The above ground may be cheaper but after a while you will not like it. For safety You can put a nice pull fence around it ( mine is made of a kind of see through strong nylon like material) with a pool gate and key.. the fence looks very good. Dont know how to attach a photo would have shown you. Then you can plant two or three palm trees behind the pool to give it a resort style look.

Use the ram earth to build around the swimming pool area. To try it out. By the way where can we access the mobile swimming pool. Please let us know. You guys are awesome. You shared your knowledge about wiring electric connections etc. Asher I think you should have a shop sell electrical products and train electricians in Ghana. Your business will grow because you are honest and efficient.

The avocado might touch the electric fence though. Also, their branches and roots do spread quickly... and their roots are bad for the wall and building in the long run.

I'm moving to Ghana,from the Uk, in 2 - 3 years time.I will be building a sustainable home.The building method i will be using,is rammed earth,or a earthbag house.If maintained,these structures,they can last for centuries.Not only that,they are cheap to build.And are fire,and pest resilient...

Hahahaha “sweating like pregnant fish 🐟” …, this cracked me up. Presidential Salute!!!! 👨🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️

Nice job you guys. You don't need AC per se (if you don't mine heat) just ceiling fans. For me I'm canceling ceiling fans in most rooms cause apparently in South Africa at 3000 ft does not get too hot. You guys are almost there and congrats.

7000 to 8000 pounds sounds right for a swimming pool in Greater Accra which is $ 10- 15 K. Excellent alternative.

Leave "Mr. Voodoo" and his comment. You have done well and God will continue to bless your new home.

Trees = birds and other wildlife hopefully you future proof the house to accommodate;)

Well, I did ask the questions in another video about "rammed earth" and yes, it is a modern update to building from our ancestors. I'm looking to build in this manner and have requested your assistance so I hope that you read from me. A quick reference, the Great Wall of China was built in this manner and it still stands. It is a great sustainable way of building with fewer toxins involved. The rude comment I will assume was attempting to tell "vs" in comparison to "vs" because this method does keep the home cooler. I begin researching for around one year now and am becoming more in love with this method of building. It's so earthly beautiful looking. It reminds me of elementary school projects as a child or at an outdoor fair of pouring different types of sand into a vase to make unique designs. I am looking forward to a sustainable way of building. Yes, the price seems to be reduced but when you want what you want price isn't the issue if you can afford any or all methods. There are several methods that I have been observing for building and it has become popular in Ghana long ago. It seems to me that there are a few cons to the process such as, do not build during the rainy season and you can't just use any type of dirt that is dug from the backyard. It's possible but only if the location is key. Kumasi, where I am thinking of building, the dirt there is ideal and perfect. Otherwise, an expense is incurred because of travel time to purchase the correct type of dirt. I am ready and want you on the team. Your intelligence speaks volumes or else you can source the correct people for me (I pay of course) especially when it comes to the electricity side of it. I am preparing to use 110V, the standard American voltage rather than Ghana's 220V for my inside home appliances. But will also have the 220V installed as well. Thanks!

You’ll be better off cutting the bottom section of the gate instead. The aesthetics of the pillars will be altered if you cut them. Just my experience from doing metal work

Thanks for acknowledging me. Yes you said my handle correctly. Thanks for sharing. I understand what you have conveyed but it sounds like some wall breaking tasks. So you are saying whether the roof is flat or not, the solar water tank must be on the roof? It's going get the best solar exposure? And it is ideal for the gravitational flow for both single level or multi level?

His delivery was not appropriate however, he made some extremely important points. I would love to build the kind of house he is talking about, even in the UK.

I live in a louver window house and it can't block the heat coming from outside during the day (the hot air). Also, dust comes through quite easily.

Total respect between thé two IS solo lovelly bravo

Pregnant fish lives in the water, so where did you see the fish sweating? We need to be mindful of how we talk.

He/her is envious of your achievement and doesn't know how to express it. The most difficult thing to do is manage a project in Ghana.unreliable artisans, poor work attitude, unprofessional artisans the list continous. For you to navigate all these and have a beautiful building standing, you deserve a pat on the back. I'm sure it's envy being expressed.

great answer by your wife to Mr. Voodu...lol

that is great work. am Electrical engineer from ATTC. they should found professional plumber. Ghana here they do cut some corner

You sound like a lecturer, very painstaking with details.

How deep can a raised pool be without standing up too tall?

or you could send the hot water output from the solar into those instant heaters. if the water is hot enough the instant heaters should/may not come on. the nice thing about routing the output of the of the solar heater into the input of your electric instant heater would be, if the water is not hot enough from the solar water heater the electric instant heater would raise the temperature of that water.

I am also from canada trying to build house in Ghana.. can I get in contact with you for some questions.. maybe email or something?

Thanks so much. Cam you give more information about the alternative swimming pool company please? Cheers!

ppl who can't do, always got something negative to say. Let that clown go on and build the mad house and watch it come down within a short period of time. Even some cement houses and buildings falls prey to destruction. let alone, a mad house

Swimming pools are crazy high maintenance compared to the grass by the way. Pools are a money pit.

Tell him our ancestors never experienced arm robbery,

Angle Grind the depth of the gate out maybe My bro he sounds like a rude jealous hater I wouldn’t pay the person much mind your decide simple

Talks like a true Ghanain ooo!

Besides individual step down transformers, what is the best alternative solution for a house that was not originally wired for 110v to have both 110 & 220v?

If I living in Africa, I would only used rammed earth for construction coupled with solar panels.

Good information Kingsley....its been a while....I guess there's another correction to be done..... Regards Mr. Bright from Bright&Clara's channel

People always won’t mind their business. Just ignore the haters

Thank you for your video. About the abusive comment. It might be good points but completely unnecessary. It’s a choice if that’s the way he wants to build that’s ok. Unnecessary and abusive. I don’t think he would even speak to his friends that way.

Asher holding in the information about chopping of part of the front pillars for the gate till this video so that Gad can’t say anything 🤣🤣

Nice job 👏 👍 👌

Please how do I contact the pool people? I think I like the idea of no digging and blocks, etc.

Please where can u get that swimming pool? Thanks

Any recommendations of a plumber?

hello brother am bilding my house in ghana soon coud give me some advice on the plenning please

Sweating like a pregnant fish 😅 he's not serious..... old way is not necessary the best way.....

Which part of Ghana are you building

Which area is your house located please?

That's disrespectful.

He has no respect on his comment.
