Roshini Ragoonanan display a mixture of cow dung (gobar) and mud, before applying it to the floor to start the leepaying process

We lived in Georgetown so we don't have experience with this coveted Guyanese function.

But speaking of cow down, I can see clearer now where your shit brains came from.

What a day, GNI gone to Shit., Cow Shit.

In defense of GNI, we already had the snake.

There used to be houses with walls that had to be daubed with this cow manure/mud mixture. I think it last about 5 days before it starts cracking.

Yes Kaz, I believe that Djangy's job as a small boy was to keep an eye on shit cracking and instruct the women when a redaubing was necessary. Now he graduate to a higher calling as PNC ???? ??? carrier.

Good for you had a great life,

I can remember as a kid my Grandparents [Children of Indian Indentured Laborers] had a house built with manicole walls plastered with mud and thatched roof of special grass sitting on three acres of land,years ago i moved on,my mamoo and cousins living on the property and today they have modern day houses.I can count my my self fortunate not to bear the brunt of living the logies on sugar plantations.

I will never forget from where i came from.

Django don't know to catch fresh cow shit with coconut shell right off the cow batty.

Not criticizing you bro. Some of Guyana's best came from very humble upbringing. We GT dudes and dudettes were just spoilt brats.

GT had and still have a lot of overflowing laterines. 

I don't remember seeing any latrines in GT.

I never experienced that or fireside. But my Grandparents on the MMZ had a fireside that they cooked on. Somehow the food always tasted better cooked from a fireside.

In GT my grand mother used a fire side and she would daub it to keep it clean, as for the bottom house it was carpeted with what we know as used rice bag, we also had a latrine in the yard.
