James’s house
The view from James’s house is quite direct to Roger’s home yard
Almost everyday Petrus’s family members sitting at porch of his house. Also, his family members sometimes turn on some music to listening and quite disturbing especially at night.
The house of back neighbour is quite far from the fence so it not really disturbing in term of noise. But there is a chicken coop near the fence.
View toward the front of the house The house have 2 levels floor. The ground floor is the living room and mainly made from brick and painted in red and white colour. The upper floor is only bedroom and it mainly made from wood also it not painted. Because of the house is very old, some part of the roof is not fully sealed so it will leak water when it raining. There also a crack on concrete wall because of Sabah earthquake in 2015.
