The base of the walls of the house are newly painted
with earth from the bottom of the well
of a neighboring village- ochre
Newly painted floor- black -
a mixture of clay and cow dung ,
left to decompose for 2-4 weeks
And spread by hand by Ba
It will be dry by the end of the day.
Moullay working on the floor of the verandah–
going abit out of the village to get the clay.
Its home improvement week – the end of Ramadan/Karem
A kind of self reliance and independence
that is unknown in the west except by very very few people.
