Yes, that yellow brick building with the tin roof was my home for two years. I had no electricity in the house or running water. I did have have a tap in the yard, so water was at least fairly close at hand. I kept large buckets of water in the kitchen so that when the tap went dry I could still cook and drink.My yard was dirt (I called it my little sand box) but you still had to sweep the dirt and make it look nice. The best women could sweep the dirt with different strokes and create a patterend masterpiece. I was lucky if I could get all of the little plant pods and stuff out of the yard in one go.
A tin roof in summer = hot.
A tin roof in the rain = loud.
I will say no more on that subject.
On candles
Candels cease to be romantic lighting when you have nothing else to use. If you have no candles you can find a small neighbor or boy roaming arrond the village and send them to go buy some. They always bring back back exact change. I think that in the summer candles put out more heat than light. One part candle wax mixed with one part paraffin (thats kerosene for you crazy Westerners) slowly heated makes a good floor polish. In the classroom a candle makes a good phallus for demonstrating proper condom use.
