   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There were different kinds of houses in olden days. Some were made of stones and clay and others were made of clay alone. The houses had usually a bed in the kitchen and most of them had an "out-shot". This "out-shot" was in the wall so that the bed wouldn't take up any room. Some of the houses had chimneys others had none. There was just a fireplace and the fire which was usually made of wood was set on it. The smoke went up against the wall and out a little hole in the roof. The fire was always beside the gable wall. Any house that had chimneys were made of clay. The houses were usually thatched with rushes which were cut in the bogs. Some of the houses had windows others had none. Some had just a little hole bored in the wall and they had a little door made to fit it and at night they put the door on it. They also put the door on any time it was raining. The people made candles for themselves. They were made from the tow of lint and lard.
