N2 - The construction of a ‘good house’ had become a preoccupation for seasonal-worker households in my fieldwork site of Lamen Bay on the island of Epi, and the small offshore Lamen island, by the time of my arrival in Vanuatu in November 2011. The day after I landed in Lamen Bay, my host mother, Mary,1 took me on a tour along the dirt road that looped around the settlement, pointing out the many new houses and more under construction.
