Towards the end of 2017 we took a break from rebuilding Lolo's house, and constructed a piggery.
The piggery a joint venture between our family and Sweetie's sister's family, with us putting up most of the money for the structures, and Sweetie's sister and her husband doing most of the hard work raising the pigs.

| An interesting construction technique |
 |
| Hi Piggies! |
 |
| In the pen |
 |
| Gravel, used to make cement, (or concrete - I don't know the difference! |

| Improvised gate |
 |
| Not related to pigs, but very important anyway. Dodot, the son of Sweetie's sister, got an award at school! |
 |
| Sweetie's sister and her family are still living in the chicken coop until we finish rebuilding Lolo's house. This is a view of what it looks like in the chicken coop. |

| The chicken coop "pantry" |
 |
| Is that a sack of rice? |
 |
| I think that is rebar? |

| Happy, healthy pigs |

 |
| That looks like bud-bud to me |
 |
| The smooth surface makes these pens easy to clean |
 |
| All the construction work was done by hand |
 |
| Happy pigs in their new home |
 |
| I am NOT a pig. I am a cow! |

| The pens have a faucet where the pigs can get a drink whenever they want |
