Do it. But how many young folks starting off today is able to do that? You got to have some [[?]] They got four children in their family.


[00:11:12]

They're liking it but it's not got nothin', any brick in it except the pillars under it and a big, big chimney.

[00:11:17]
And it's one big fireplace. There upstairs in their house is all bedrooms, downstairs living room. It's air conditioned. But I'm talking about living now without buying all this electricity

[00:11:29]

and all this fuel oil and these young folks gonna to have to find the answer and us old fathers and mothers and everything gonna have to help our children find that answer.

[00:11:37]

Start off little and get big. If you don't go into debt so doggone much that you can't never get out in a lifetime, is my answer.

[00:11:43]
I think I'm a little bit conservative but I've lived. I've borrowed $250 (I'm not braggin') in my lifetime and I didn't use that the first-- that was the second year I married and I just-- what I didn't have to have

[00:11:59]
I lived without, I left alone. But that won't answer everybody's problem; that answered mine. And so everybody's got to answer his own problem.

[00:12:07]
So, you tell your children and give them some advice, they need some advice. And help em' to get them ideas in their heads; don't go into debt so doggone much till they'll lose it halfway up the line

[00:12:18]
and have to give it back to the man they borrowed it-- money from. Some of em' are having to do that or will have to [[?]] Let's keep 'em, let's keep the family together.

[00:12:26]
Thank you. [[clapping]]

There's just a couple of more points we need to tell you about a dogtrot house and then I'd like to entertain some questions from you for about five minutes. We've already told you that the kitchen extends off the back

[00:12:44]
of a house like this. Usually the house stands up about 18 to 20" off the ground and that's where a farmer will store his tools, his fishing poles, his wheel barrows and things like that. Um, what else?

[00:12:57]

There's a real important thing on the back. What's that thing called, a wash shelf, Walter, the wash shelf in the back?

[00:13:03]
