Insert sticks into the holes you made.(The fence prevents livestock from entering).

Make Final Touches

Put a string (barbed wire) and tangle it onto the sticks(Poles).You can add more staff like a Blair toilet,a fowl run or even a small garden.You can also put a pattern around the house.In an actual home the pattern is a way of decorating the house or marking so people know who is the owner i.e chiefs. .

This Is How Your Home Should Look Like
