Look Up, Look Down, Look All Around

We climbed through the roof-top entrance down into the interior of our hill-side mud Spitian guesthouse to take a look around. Glancing up at the roof-door admiring the fact that the only entry to the house appeared to be the one in the ceiling above us, we noticed a scratching-clicking sound coming from beneath a piece of wood lying on the floor next to us.
All of a sudden, without any warning, the piece of wood flew up into the air and woman’s head popped up out of “the floor”. She was bringing up canisters of water from a water source further downhill below the house. This amazing Spitian house had two doors: one in the ceiling and one in the floor. Now, that’s some creative architecture.
