My Mud Hut
24 Jun
That’s pretty much it… I have a stand beside my bed that was built by the guy who lived here before me. It holds my books and my mini-pharmacy.
That bucket on my desk there is a water purifier. Sitting inside of it is a clay pot that the water seeps through into the bottom. On the bottom the type of tap you would find on those old school coffee dispensers you would find at PTA meetings.
On the right are two doors – One that leads into the rest of the hut and then my door to the outside, which is locked from the exterior with a padlock. The lack of ceilings and shared tin roof makes it very much a shared living space acoustically (read into that what you will). The walls are built by stacking tree branches and then layering on mud, which hardens into a sort of stucco.
The chair (you’ll see this exact same design/construction everywhere in Pignon) is a little Van Gogh-esque, no?
It gets cable though right?
Wow! You got the real experience there. Where are you blogging from?
The office of the organization I am with has a pretty good satellite-based Internet connection.
Hey, that looks like Uncle Tom’s cabin! So what if it’s not on the shores of the Mississippi…
