With the gift from a former employer Josephine was able to buy the materials to build this house on a piece of land given her by her father just before he died. The house has cement floor, four rooms, each with an outside door. The front of the house has a wide, roofed veranda the length of the house. The walls are built from bricks and mortar, with iron sheeting for the roof. The doors are made of wooden planks and fastened on the outside with a metal hasp. There is no electricity or windows. Josephine is most embarrassed that the house is not plastered and painted inside and out. However, it was warm and dry during the night and the rains and free of bugs and vermin. So...all in all a great place to visit.
