[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 500131, member: 694"] My Dad was born in 1914, those men were cut from a lot tougher cloth back then. When Mom went to the store it was for flour and sugar, everything else came out of the garden or woods. There was absolutely no waste of anything from hog killings to nails. I have straighted a many a nail. We used to get excited when building fence if we had some new staples. My grandson was over a while back and was total amazed in an old building I had tore down. I was pulling every nail and storing the lumber. He just couldn't get over I was straighting nails to keep, he said Pa you have the money to buy new ones why are you messing with the old ones. I responded for hard times son he never understood. [/QUOTE]
