"I can see that you didnt do German floor (DPC/Ground floor slab). This is one of the reasons why you need an engineer to build for you."

The landlord replied:

"Solid water seal will do the job."

"I remember when I tried to supervise the construction of our driveway in Benin. Those workmen showed me Shege. Deliberately wasting concrete to teach me a lesson. I later fired them and hired my friend as a contractor. He saved me so much. Unless this is your work, hire someone."
