Photo Gallery #33-Chez Moi #3, Part I

As time goes on, I continue to get more and more settled in Gaya- a
big part of that is putting my house together, slowly but surely...

Laundry in the hangar- during the hot season, it's warm enough to dry clothes in the shade.

And if it's warm enough to dry clothes out of the sun, you can imagine how hot it must be, which is why I do almost everything outside, including sleep.
A small hearth for the ganoum, and a primitive sink of my own design, a pit filled with gravel and sand that works well for draining pasta, dishes, etc.

My 'kitchen counter,' a tin-topped table- not perfect, but considering the options here, not all that bad.

A view of the hangar, with the farfar (twig door) and a grass mat to keep out goats and sheep.
An outdoor view of the hangar, which practically doubles the size of my house.
A new house my landlord is building next door, to house a few of his children.
An unconventional use for farfar, as a mounting board for photos, something I've seen in several PCV houses.
The photos I ask for in my letters usually end up here.
My slightly crooked, but still functional shelf, which works for toiletries, medical stuff, etc.
One of two desks, which I use when it's actually cool enough to work indoors, rarely.
