The diarygame 22/07/2025,// going to timber market to buy building materials for my restaurant and bar business.
Hello friends good morning from where ever you will be reading my content.
I will be adding a new business to my onions business because everyday, the kids are growing and is demanding.
I did not know that children in the university requires money on a daily basis, I don't know if is because of the courses they offer. My kids are offering engineering courses, my first child is offering electrical engineering and the second son is offering mechanical engineering.
So the demands are huge for me, I didn't even include the other two of my kids that are in secondary school.
All this days I have been looking for a new business to add to my onions business that will generate money for me, so I thought of opening a restaurant and bar business, which is selling of all kinds of drinks and food.
I had already rented an empty land and packing store last week Saturday which was on the 18th of July at the sum of 375,000 naira, which is equivalent to 1.630 steem.
This is the transfer alert send to my landlord.
TUESDAY MORNING
On Tuesday, I woke up early in the morning because I had already arranged with the carpenter that will put on a structure on the empty land.
I want to build it as a bush bar using a traditional method.
So waking up early morning, I picked up my phone and I called the carpenter and ask him to come over to the site .
After the call, I took my bath and brush my teeth then dress up to go and meet with the carpenter.
Reaching the site the carpenter didn't arrive, so I waited for him. When he came, I took the measurements of the whole place and he started all that I needed to buy.
So he ask me to give him money to go and buy the materials, I told him no that I will go with him. Guys do you know that the carpenter got angry that I don't have to go with him to the timber market.
I was surprised, so I moved alone to the market, reaching there, those agent Started rushing me calling prices of materials high and I refuse to answer them.
So I went and meet one Obadiah that sales building materials and I told him what I want to do with the space.
I wanted to buy Nigeria since which my carpenter told me is 45,000 naira which is equivalent to 195.6 steem per buddle, but to my greatest surprise the Nigeria zinc was 38000 naira that is about 165 steem. Just imagine the interest the carpenter wanted to make just on that alone.
When I saw the Nigeria zinc, I didn't like it so I bought one other sinz though I have forgotten the name, I bought two buddles that day, then Obadiah directed to where I will be needing bamboo stick, and I bought them at the rate of 700 naira per one, mean while carpenter told me 1000 naira per one stick.
Then I proceeded to where I will buy polyne and raphter stick, then I bought tapolyn and then they look me to where I will divide the bamboo stick into two because I will be using it as a fence . Then I bought all the nails I will be needing for the work.
I really spent money at the timber market, I spent close to 500,000 naira which is equivalent to 2173 steem.
I then took motor and a loader that will help in loading all the things I bought and transport them to the site I will be raising structure for my business.

Though it was a little bit costly but I didn't have any choice than to eat but to my surprise, the soup was so delicious, it was as if I was eating home food. Na so I eat and lick plate, I make sure I eat every thing until the plate was clean.
After I went to where they were cutting the bamboo stick and the driver with the loader was there, so they packed it and we went to the site.

So the loaders help in offloading all the things I bought, he keeps some inside the packing store and all the sticks at the land space.
We finished everything before 5:30pm and I rested there a bit, while the my neighbor in the next compound gave me boil pear and I send for bread and minerals. So I use the pear to eat with the bread.

After eating, I knew I have eaten my dinner, I rested small and I went back home very tired. Reaching home, I only took my bath and I picked up my phone and checked my steemit account.
Checking the account it was empty, no active post except the contest post, so I started writing a new post. When I was done I went straight to bed and sleep.
So friends my day was so hectic, seeing myself doing all this that a man supposed to do is what gave me joy, at least with the restaurant business, I will be able to take care of my children very well.
