And to think, none of the family thought to complain and demand welfare... If I could afford it, I’d like to convert an old train car into a house.
Notice that Merles father planted fruit trees and a grape arbor to provide food for his family. I’ll bet they had a veg garden too.
As far as welfare people, in two urban settings I have seen extensive veg gardens right next to housing projects for the poor. The blacks had lots of collard greens growing while in Savannah Georgia after the Viet boat people first arrived. One housing project had lots of Vietnamese and lots of nice veg gardens by them.
Sometimes welfare people take some initiative and do for themselves
Me too! Have you been watching too many reruns of "Wild Wild West" too? Now that was a house....

A few years ago I almost bought a beautiful old caboose. It was wooden, had a wood stove and built in bunks and eating area. One of the issues was getting it to where it was to be permanently. To go over the rails it had to be inspected and any necessary repairs made. Then it had to be transported over the rails for a fair amount per mile. If I win the lottery tomorrow night I’m going to get one!
