Plastering Done… But We Found Termites 😱 | Ep. 19 – Building a Home in Zimbabwe While Abroad

In this episode of Building a Home in Zimbabwe While Living Abroad, we’ve made huge progress on the cottage and staff quarters. Both structures are now fully plastered, the floors are being tiled, and the bathrooms are starting to take shape. It’s amazing to finally see the project moving forward after all the challenges we’ve faced. But as always when you’re building… problems are never too far away. While digging the trenches for the foundations of the main house, we discovered something worrying — termites. And that’s a problem we’re going to have to deal with before construction can continue. In this episode we also cover: Removing the failed plaster Restarting the plastering work Sand deliveries and rain delays The crazy price of cement in Zimbabwe Lessons learned from earlier building decisions And the total costs for this stage of the project If you're interested in building in Zimbabwe, diaspora builds, or construction in Africa, follow the journey as we build our retirement home step by step. #BuildingInZimbabwe #ZimbabweConstruction #DiasporaBuild #Bulawayo #HomeBuilding #ZimbabweHomes #AfricanConstruction #BuildingWhileAbroad #ZimbabweProperty #HouseBuild #BuildingInZimbabwe #ZimbabweConstruction #HouseBuild #TermiteProblem #DiasporaBuild #Bulawayo #HomeConstruction #ZimbabweHomes
