My long awaited project

R 1 000 000-00 house today @ 10% appreciation p/a x 10 years = +- R2 500 000-00.

I bought my house at the age of 24 only 8years ago for R 120 000-00
its worth R1mill now.

Use it don't use it.

Good luck getting someone with a mil to buy it from you....

It's obvious....if you own one and renting it out, great...you are making some money, if you have enough money to be able to pay for a house costing you R7000 to R10000 for the next 30 years and deal with all the other hikes....great you are better off than the other 90% and thats great.

Unfortunately if you baught in the last year or two and you can't afford the hikes and taking into consideration that the market price is falling....oops....I have a bond for R800 000.....I have been paying for the last year....2....3...4....5.....now I can't pay the premium no more....and the best offer I can get is R600 000 or R700 000.....o boy.....sparky has screwed me over....or something else happens....you loose....my point is things have changed since you baught your house 10 years ago....it's not so easy anymore...

That's beside the point, Gary has baught him a wonderful home and made it look beautiful, I senserely hope it will work out for him.

That looks really good Gary, congrats man 😀

All the more satisfying you did it yourself hey?

hey gary,

its ok. 😈 😈 😈

whats next???

Wow, Gary! Thats looking amazing. Well done, I knows it been alot of hard work but it really shows. I escecialy like the way you have mounted the flatscreen. Looks awesome! You just need an xbox 360 or a P$3 to finish it off 😂 😂

Now, you need to get get the exterior sorted so you can get back to working on your sx 8) 🙂

Great work man.

awesome stuff Gary. Great job!
All the best with your new home.

I'm super impressed! Having mixed cement myself for the first time today, I know how much hard work went into your place, and it looks awesome. Well done!

Yeah Trance PS3 will come but not any time soon 😢 . We will start on the exterior next and the master bedroom, shouldnt be that much of a big job (although I said that when we were starting on the interior). I dont have many mods I want to do to the sx so that will just be the way it is for a while, will get big brakes on the back soon though.

Toby I mixed about 10m^3 of cement and yes it is a kak job 😂 .

Do you have a room to work on motors? 😂

Yeah have a carpetted garage for that 😂 , not too sure how long the carpets will be clean for though 😕 .

big up dude... Love that stuff... doing what I wanted, old house & refurbish... but never could afford it here... 😀

maybe that side I can change my luck 😀
