(Written for The_Weekend_Write-In prompt for the week, ''house''. Roughly 100 words)

My Mum (now 94) was telling us about her first house as a married woman back in the 1950s. My grandfather and a few of his mates built it on a vacant block of land, owned by my grandparents. They used old wooden packing boxes for the floorboards and made the bricks out of cement. Mum was especially proud of the round windows they had in some of the rooms. (My grandfather had rescued them from a demolition site.) Mum sewed the curtains and the cover for the couch. Modern recycling had nothing on the old days!
