Cement prices; kumbe nikubaya!

Elders, I set my goal this year to put up a modern structure huko ocha. Sasa nilingojangoja kidogo hadi March then I swung into action.

Economic changes kicked in (sijui ni vita ya Russia ama!) and price ya cement ikaenda juu. I had planned to buy approx. 100bags this week na budget was around Kshs. 650/bag. Saa hii nimetafuta cement kwa local hardware naambiwa 900 + and they are not readily available, wanasema kimadharau. Yaani nikama nimeenda kununua underware kwa hardware.

Wakubwa sasa ndio nafeel the heat. Wacha ile tunasema ati watu wa magari ndio wanaumia fuel ikipanda.

For those who completed and/or are on similar projects, siri ni gani. Should I put the project on hold ama niendelee na hasara juu? Are the prices likely to go down?
