That's so interesting! What's the name of the village you're in? And yes, the thatched roof tops are different but just as clever nonetheless. The mud houses and bricks I've always thought to be so smart; use what you have I guess!
That's too bad about the RC thing; I wish I could offer some kind of advice, but truthfully, I don't or haven't taken the time, to understand the whole thing yet :)
Our village is McGregor. About 200km from Cape Town. I will share, in a post, about a cottage Weber we're doing a clean-up. It is also mud. Built in the late 19th century.
As for the RC's@bluemist kindly delegated me some enabling me to reply. So grateful to the #steemitbloggers family :)
oh that's awesome! I was actually looking at mine to see if I could afford to give some to you :)
Let me know when you've done that post; I don't want to miss it :)
