Following that sage advice, we decided to follow local traditions in terms of building our house.
One custom is to sprinkle chicken blood around where each house pillar will go up. Our contractor arranged for some chickens, however, being more experienced with construction rather than with chickens, we soon ran out of blood and had to send out for some more chickens.
Another tradition is to sprinkle coins around the foundations, prior to the concrete being poured. Noel performed this task. Not all concrete got poured the first day and when we returned a few days later to inspect progress, we noticed that, where the concrete had not yet been poured, the coins were missing. At least we had the right intentions.
We didn't see what happened to the chickens but later heard that the construction crew appreciated this addition to their simple meals.
