SA celebrates the woman's hard work

The clip gained massive views and comments from social media users who were greatly impressed by the woman's building success. Many viewers were inspired to start similar projects and enquired about the cost of the material. Some said she was a motivation and asked her to share a video of the project on its completion. Others agreed that it was indeed her time, noting that she'll enjoy having her own space. They said she will have peace of mind.

User @Msoja7808 advised:

"This is a beautiful and amazing project. I just like to make builders and owners aware that not putting lintels over door frames can lead to door frame and burglar door being skew. This might make it unable to close well as the building settles in time 😔. So, please insist on putting lintels over all door frames and on windows 🙏🏼."
