I like your approach to these projects you undertake. I have watched a number of your videos and I like the maturity and objectivity with which you present your contents. More so, I do notice that you take all projects: semis; bricks or stone houses whether bungalows or just modest dwellings. Keep up with the spirit!! I would like to pick your mind at some point about interior finishings and your thoughts about a certain project I have which is ongoing.
Its true fake stones known as brocken stones in Mombasa here.and the machine cut the small size very white ones are not the best to use for building astrong house.it can built yes but kama hujui utauziwa @ a high price in the name of machine cut for those hawajui.brocken stones in mombasa I would a dvise to use it to build perimeter wall.or simple house is also not so bad.but never try these two types in a gorofa incase mungu amekujalia kujenga gorofa.
Red burnt bricks are just as strong as machine cut stones. As long as the stones were made either right ratio of ingredients used, cured properly and burnt as they should. There are houses which are red stone built which are 200 years old or even 300yrs old and they are two or three storeys. Wakenya please before you say something is not good, please be sure you have investigated and researched well enough.
Isaac is right. Wacheni pressure ya kubuild with bricks. Get personal advice from qualified people like Isaac before you build and they will give you good advice to save money on construction.
