It was different, then. And we built good houses, with the tools and skills of the day.
Times change, and so did our tools and building systems. Still, I get an old builder now and then that will say, 'we were better builders...'.
I don't think we were better builders, house building has improved, like any skill. We were better, 'back in the day', with handsaws and hammers, I'll give you that.
