Good Morning Jeanine, No, this was actually the main portion of their house. The kitchen got destroyed by a fallen tree when a nice southwestern summer storm rolled through... LOL. It doesn't look as if there are boards missing, just not very "well built". I heard once news papers came out they would tack it to the wall as a wind barrier and also the homemade quilts were tacked up. In Nov 1996, we purchased a 20+ year old mobile home in my home town. That winter, the curtains would literally sway because of the winter winds. That was just around the windows.... I would hate to have lived where that was a constant. My Great Aunt, who still lives on the homestead, told me a story about my other Great Aunt being bit on the toe by a rat one winter...EW... LOL. It was backed up by my mother and her sister and brother stating it at different times. Heading to work...love to talk about Minnesota :) Lori L Hoper --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messengers low PC-to-Phone call rates.
