A new shanty is born

by in Jet Hag

Its amazing what you see from 7 stories up, this is a shanty being built over the last 5 days.

Day 1, the foundation is laid and the structure is in place… the hard working couple who are the proud owners of this house are actually living here already!

Day 2 , the rafters are being installed, but why normally there is just a tarp on the roof…

Day 3, the roof is on, and its tiles! Amazing that a flimsy structure can support the weight of roof tiles! These people arent your ordinary shanty people if they can afford tiles, normally its a large plastic billboard that makes the roof waterproof on a shanty house.

Day 6, Its complete, all we need is a toilet and plumbing and electricity and its done…oh heck we dont need that shit, lets just live here and take a dump out the back door.
