The first stage of building is with asteras (reed matting). Many families spend their first couple of years in such humble abodes, whilst some erect them so as to take possession of their land, living in them on weekends whilst saving money to move onto the next stage of building.


The second stage of building is sometimes a prefab house, or more often something put together from the wood of packing cases (above), using the same nails from the original case itself.

Moving into the final stage of building, normally after a number of years. It will also be a number of years before this house is ever completed - maybe twenty or more. Interestingly, nobody ever seems to steal the bricks from others' building sites.
