    In the plantation days, there were many interesting steps taken in dismantling and reassembling Chattel Houses. However, in this era, that is a rare event. The house must be emptied of its appliances and dismantling began on Sunday's with the assistance of a carpenter and villagers; furthermore, it was a one day procedure. The roof, sides and flooring are carefully removed and transported to the new location where it is reassembled. After, the laborers are repaid with a hearty meal.

    In plantation days, the dismantling and reassembling of chattel houses was once seen as a community event.Sadly,this is of the past due to the fact that persons have purchased their own land and the legislation put it in place. It was a regular and important occurrence which took place on sundays with the assistance of men from the community and completed the same day. While labourers were not paid like carpenters,they were given a meal. This community spirit has seemed to vanish.
