Description

Hello. What an improvement! 4-5 ppl can build this type of house with hard labor about a week*. Many of them done it back in those days to make a living better. Bigger windows, more stable walls but still grass roof and soil ground(floor). * The mud brick need to dry a few days and then stack them to build a wall. Have a wonderful day...nite...and yes, cookie time...lol. seeya Ps: The recent New Zealand quake was on the South Island, this park is on the North island.

Another great shot. You really have captured the character of the "luxury accommodation".

this really looks like a great place and with the cracks filled to block the weather, I wouldn't mind a place like this. Fantastic shot - very well done.

I think about what building inspectors here have to flag, and what's really necessary for life ... the gap between the two is remarkable!

Rustic and such a comforting atmosphere about the place. It is good to see you still hang out on RR Tunde.

A strange special atmosphere! What kind of people should have lived inside this house? Great catch, thanks for sharing!

Superlative POV, clarity, color and textures in this very cool capture, Tunde! I like that haphazard brick work. And, even though the earthquake was on the southern island, it was still a powerful 7.1 tremor, which could easily shake up the northern island.
