    front of the chimney was made of clay and wattles or stone and mortar. The old floors were made of earth. Half doors were common long ago and are still. Turf and wood were used for fire. Bog - deal was used for giving light. Long ago people used to pull rushes steep them in grease and use them for giving light also.
