Out west ll

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

The next morning.

still is as approaching this farm from 1702.


coming into the yard.



Where they used to have sheep in the winter


and stacking wood.


proceeding to the washroom, notice the brook running into the washroom from outside.


And how they built back then, notice the wooden nails.

and how they made use of branches mostly of birch trees to hold up the gutter. All made of wood of course.

Thanks for watching.

Very interesting set, Ivar. I especially like the detail of the birch bark roofing. Mind, that toilet looks a bit dodgy!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Pete, but which toilet? If you refer to the washroom, it was then a mere washroom for clothes where fresh water was directed from outside to inside and vanishing through the stone floor. That water was there washing machine my friend, no toilet.

 

[Pete Askew]

No 5.

Very interesting look into the type of life style of that time period.
