    African Traveler (John):
    I've recently discovered your channel. Dude, thank you very much for the content--profoundly invaluable! If I ever repatriate to Mother Africa, please know that your content played an important role. As for your parent's retirement house, it looks fantastic. I would love to live in that village (I believe you said...Bohati.) That roof though...
