Started: 2012
When we moved into our house in Ruiru, it was an unfinished shell without interior plaster, tiled floors, or indoor plumbing. My parents completed the construction room by room as funds became available, moving our family around during plastering and flooring work. Living comfortably amidst ongoing construction taught me adaptability and gave me a high tolerance for managing unfinished, evolving operational environments.
