Life in the old days was really simple and uncomplicated! I could imagine the happiness and contentment that the rural folks experienced when they built their humble houses out of locally available construction materials. Money was not an issue because Mother Nature provided for everything according to their desired requirements.
Your mother and you are truly blessed to have a father figure in the person of your dear uncle Rafael, as he was your mentor and backbone of your engineering skills that transformed you into who you are today! My respectful salute to him for the marvelous legacy he has left behind! Thank you for sharing this heart-warming personal story @marcosmilano71!
Thanks @storiesoferne. Certainly without many complications but a hard life. My uncle Rafael, he was a hermit, he did not like life in the city, he preferred the countryside or the mountain, rural life was his favorite. He never hired anyone to make his house for him, himself, with his hands, built it using the elements of nature: earth, water, vegetation, wood and sun, all he bought was zinc for the ceiling. Thank you for your comment. Greetings and blessings.
