Could rent the 2nd, floor to pay the mortgage.
Johnny boy!! where u?
“Hey, I upstairs on the third floor!”
That’s not just the best answer. It’s the beetsst answer!
deadly house ….
i doh mind na
This house took alot of creativity ,motivationi and architechuarl planninig can any one identify the plant or trees that”s growing on the left side of the house ? is it a calabas tree?
some serious architecture. chhhh
And it even have guttering we….. that house freak out boy.
it even have fence
I WOULD LOVE TO SLEEP THERE, THAN TO BE SLEEPING IN THE METRO, OR IN THE COLD, BLESS THIS HOUSE ……..
Nice – but it doesn’t appear to me that anyone is living in it, seems more like something that children
would do for fun –
love it i could picture myself sleeping there natural ac, love the hedging also
This house is truly inspiring. I would concur that the owner has no high rent or mortgage to pay and sleeping worry free. While so many of us are struggling and have people calling on us for their money, this owner must be living the life. God Bless.
This a real piece of art if this person had the right materials what would be standing there.I want to book the artic for my next vacation hats up to you
this is a wonderful work of art… gate and scene if u cross the gate and enter the man home then u wrong… but this just goes to say that you don’t need a big house to be proud of it
Lol. Thats in Sineku Kalinago Territory… No one actually lives in it. Just a small hut on the side of the road….
At least he/she is not in someone else’s country sleeping on neighbor couch…
Beautiful and I love that hedging.
How comes most people here assuming that this person doesn’t have to pay rent or mortgage? This person probably owe credit union and still paying his loan for his establishment. Now it looks like he he might need some repairs on the steps, the front wind-door (it’s both of them in one) and in the basement, so soon, he might have to add more money to that loan.
i like that one wind-door
I bet none of U’ll will change ur palace. Nice design, inspiring, but the builder could do with some assistance. If I knew where he was I’d arrange a campaign for him to get materials to take it to the next level.
If u really want to help, it should not be too difficult to find the person. If u set up a legit fund I’ll contribute!
I swear, the people that is laughing at this pic is so stupid! This is someone’s home. DNO should be ashamed of themselves to put someones home on display like that. This is no laughing matter. Dominican grow up!!!!!!!!!!
Shut the ?????? up what has D.N.O. done wrong by posting my house i am proud of my house no mortgage, no light bills, no water bills like those living above their means in our country plus i am not weting find something else to be vex about instead of faulting D.N.O. I am sure my house is better looking looking than you.
Amen i agree with you… Too many people living above their means im sure you happy… They had no right to make your home a pappy show not everyone can afford expensive houses at least u have your own place and you not on the roadside begging… DNO U WRONG FOR THIS… ON DA REAL…
Now why should DNO be ashamed? What has DNO done wrong? This photo displays the skills of our people who try to provide shelter for themselves. I am sure the person who lives in this house is not called “homeless” since he/she has a roof over his/her head. I can tell by the surroundings, with the beautiful flowers, the owner takes pride in his skills. Hats off to DNO and to the hands that built this house.
what is there to be ashame of ? its very cute. i love it, just cant believe someone live in it, its so small
Home on the range. Home in the lush greeneries. A peaceful place to reside and to lay his/her head, away from the hustle and bustle.
DNO is not laughing at the photo. DNO found it acceptable to post.
It is some of you critics who are laughing and making derogatory statements. You do not see the beauty of it and its surroundings.
There must be a person residing in it or merely using it as a temporary recluse. It is not important where it is situated. Many of you love to analyze and parse those pictures and critic them. Just admire the beauty.
Years gone by what type of housing did some of our ancestors have? Today, with so-called better housing some people appear to forget their very own humble beginnings. Talk of ungrateful people.
Keep in mind that as Our Almighty Father ordained, Our Lord Jesus Christ was born in a manger; not a mansion which is a lesson for us all which some, as Christians have not yet grasped and the meaning of it.
Therefore, appreciate this house and surroundings and cease your critics.
who Jah bless no man curse.
This is not a house. It’s a piece of art.
A real get-away. Emaculately landscaped!!!
Boy that looking like something Arbie would build.. That must be in Case O Gourie Laplaine.
omg…arbie…i remember him…is he still alive? I used to be so scared of him….well still am….lol
Did anyone notice the face peering thru the bushes to the left of top floor? Put on some magnifying glasses and ck it out!
I Noticed! Looks like ur face..
those are mangoes omg with u ppl
Home is where the heart is ….Not every house is a home…But I am sure this is “home for whomever”…Contented and rent free….Cozy and warm at nites…No winter….Enjoy your home my dear whoever u are…Cause some of us now struggling in “big country” trying to pay d rent ….Who laughs last …laughs the best…..
mr not paying rent like some or mortage lol i think i should invest in the same for a start llol
Have you ever did it in the Artic
wow! there also seems to be an attic
What I admire most about this building is the design. Do you realise that the roof is well designed to withstand hurricanes? That is how our forefathers built their homes. Now we have flattened our rooves to be modern but it has put us at a disadvantage. Do you see that view from the man’s backdoor? Awesome!! Surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the sea!! Immaculate!
And that even have a porch wee Lmao
and it have upstairs too….
You’re an idiot. Let see your backyard.
any woman wanna spend this weekend there wit me?
great place for a house party
i must conntact partner to rent when i come to da.
The man has his gate to his steps we!!
gated property…lol
Home is where the heart is.
This structure is very simply and well designed for its location. It is blending well with its background.
That is what you call working with what you have… love it!!!!
But we have TV Doh !!
ROTFLMAO…at least he has a roof over his head!
An artiste could work with that. I would buy a painting of this. Really makes you think.
Nice quiet house and area built between lush greeneries. One does not have to be rich and well-to-do to live happily and in peace.
Born free! We were born free. Our adult life is not free as we (some of us) harnessed ourselves with all that the world offers which placed us in bondage, some for the rest of their lives.
I bet that the owner of this house has a good night’s sleep. No mortgage, electricity, cable, etc to pay. That is an excellent, happy and free life. These people are the happiest ones on earth with no care in the world. This was the way it was meant to be for humanity.
Incidentally, someone sent me an email which shows a similar picture of a house except this house looked better built but approximately the same size and height. The subject is: “A Two Story House.” The first story/part of the house reads: “Politicians.” The second one reads: “Voters.” I thought this amusing.
Canadians are preparing for a Federal election in May, a forced one. The present Federal minority government got a vote of non-confidence. I do think this is unfair that two parties banned against him and his Party and forced an election. Also, considering the cost of election which will be in the millions of dollars at taxpayers’ expense. My vote goes to this Federal Prime Minister, again. I hope he wins the election. In my estimation, the other two are not worthy of my vote. These have been harassing the Prime Minister for the past year and wanted to call an election sooner. All Canadians are not pleased with them and their tactics.
At such a time there will be many amusing and sarcastic emails, statements and jokes.
People are people. In this case, we are somewhat no different when it comes to electing a government.
Reminds me of the good old days,we still find majority of the grandbay houses looks like this
Sorry Gbay peeps but i laughed when i read this lmao!!!
Go take a look on d Grand side boii shatta before u open you trap, der is alot to smile about, U clownnnn, last time i visted the city is well developed
u low minded ppl do not realise that these pics are circulated all over the world and tourist read these comments, do u ppl think that u are doing good for ur country with these nasty comments, grandbay is a part of dominica, every post i see a nasty comment of grandbay i do not live in dominica please stop bringing down all u country i would like to know if something terrible happens to that village god forbid if u ppl would not go and assist it is really sickenning, all u killing dominica without even realising but then u all are the same that criticise the goverment,and for the other ppl who keep joking around on that pic someone already explained that the house is in the reserve and that no one lives in it, just enjoy the pics, thanks DNO i take pleasure in looking out for the pic of the day
this is too funny
when last u visit grand bay u can come there today to see these old houses from past days are being demolished and better ones are being constructed… tebeh
I seriously admire this person. No loan to build this home, so bank cannot repossess it. No worries except for a strong hurricane. Wish more Dominicans were more self supportive instead of begging and blaming the government.
IS IT THAT THEY CALL THE NEXT LEVEL!
………………I HOPE THEY GOT APPROVAL FRM PLANNING………..AT LEAST DE PERSON WORKED HARD TO BUILD DERE DWELLING HOME……….AND DID NOT DEPEND ON THE SOO CALLED, “HOUSING REVOLUTION”
Where is HGTV? Somebody would pay an arm and a leg for this piece of property. I love it very much.
easy living!! i bet the owner of this castle living rent free! he doh have to scratch his head at the end of the month to pay rent. the foliage are beautiful. Bravo!!!! Love my Dominica!!! If i had one like that waiting for me i would pack and come home..
An additional two stories will soon be added for rent to visitors.
It looks like it alredy has three stories. You missed the basement. As you said, it could easily be rented out for visitors. This piece of work is priceless. Well done.
gardez sa! aw wah mon pas ka dormir la non
Talk about landscaping! Check out the lush greenery that surrounds it
i like, but the quality isn’t all that
oh please just appreciate the pic, about quality u ppl does just vex me up
wow…nice house.
Well the person even have upstairs and downstaIrs and Government cant even build that. Nice house. Hope rain doesnt fall to strong.
I am proud of this person and their home . This just teaches us to work with what we have!!
Amen to that!!!!
amen and i say amen well said
Creative cultural work with left overs. Congratulations. Some people may think it shows poverty but I think it is very practical, artistic and independent minded. At least he/she did not go and beg for a house.
indeed!!!!!!! sometimes, the simpler things in life are best:)
I agree. Great comfort and Mortgage free.
3 stories….and there even is a gate. lol
to each his/her own
