Houses 24- 3 -38
Nowadays the houses are much better than the ones long ago.They used not build them with stones as they do now.They would make them badly.They would build them up and they would put mud floor on them.
Some of the people mix up lime water and clay together and put it in a stick with the stones but it is seldom they would put the clay and lime together.They thought nothing of building a house it seemed like a ditch now often times a house would only last a month.
