Description
A house in the Wissel Lake Area. These huts are made of split "boards", all very rude. The connections are made with plant fibers. The floor is at a certain distance from the ground, so the pigs can dwell underneath. In the center is always a fire, especially necessary at night, because it can get really cold. Moreover, the smoke dissipates mosquitoes. Adjacent to this hut a part of the fence is visible - to ensure that the pigs do not enter the grounds of the neighbor. If it still happens, the neighbor has the right to kill the pig.
