The ole house in which I was raised was built in 1880, it did not have studs in the walls , the 1x12 vertical lumber was the walls and supported the roof, the wind blew through the walls and windows, at nite it would get as cold inside as it was outside, the only heat was a fireplace, no electricity , running water or indoor plumbing, so all my married life I have provided a warm house for the wife and kids, the first years of our married life the wife was pregnant and barefooted but she was warm, it was different times back in the 50's and 60's., It was some poor Texans back then, but we asked for no hand outs. I credit my work ethics and success on the way I was raised.
