At d' times when TIMBER was considered CHEAP... built wooden houses... but nOW... more to stones  ..  sand...nnn    ...cement...

Nice location..... slight....high land.... over look....down hills.....

The road is newly maintained nn   being resurfaced with new 'tar' ...  still looked ...branded new black tar.. both sides of d' road are well placed with concrete drainage....   so water flows to main big drains....

Once...The land here was BOUGHT ...in ONE piece...   so.. when.. families expanded.... a WISE owner....divided d' land into many pLOTS of land... to be divided nnn shared  ...to... uncles, aunties.....nn now their children.... cousins...nieces... nephews..nnn   ....  soo
