Our house on the hill

by Jade on July 28, 2010

The building of our house is coming pretty good. They have started putting the tiles in the bathroom this week and it’s looking better and better each day. We are really very happy to see our ideas materialize right before our eyes.

The materials used for building our house comes from our surroundings. The walls are made of river stones and the roof of our house is made of cogon – it’s basically grass that you can find growing in the fields. 

The grass are cut and dried and tied together in a bundle. These are done by our caretaker’s wives. It’s a good way for the ladies in the farm to earn something extra. But when we have enough for our house, this ends. I hope I can find some buyer for this product so that the ladies can continue working.

I want to do so many things for the people here but for now I cannot do much as we have so many things to deal with first so we can settle in soon. That reminds me, I need to find a place where they do business card printing as hubby’s cards is running out.
