Housing sure has changed over the years. The houses I was raised in was so different than what I raised my family in and their houses are different also. We can go back each generation and see the changes in houses. A smile comes across my face as I look at this image of Jim Bales place in the Great Smoky Mountains. Probably too small for most Americans way of living: no running water or electricity, therefore no microwave, TV, desk lamp, hot water or crapper. Probably would stay on the market too long. And, where’s the 3-car garage?
