Granaries are often built above the ground to keep the stored food away from mice and other animals.

Dieu Si Bon Garage - Gonaives Haiti

Look at this photo, Dieu Si Bon Garage in Gonaives Haiti. From the sign we can tell it is a repair shop for big trucks (gros camions), where they repair the chassis of these truck and more.

You should see how Haitians redo the chasis of these old imported trucks before they turn it into a 'camion boite' (a Haitian truck that carries heave loads cross country). They literally double the original chassis

Another thing to notice is that the truck parked behind the sign for Dieu Si Bon Garage is called "Dieu Si Bon." Who do you think the owner is LOL...
