Collene Riggsbee Rogers - Building houses (clip)

Collene Riggsbee Rogers: Well, you know, it’s our house that’s on Merrit Mill Road that we had also and the building, my grandfather, his father, is the one that gave him the building but it was like, you know old times they had wooden buildings and stuff, I guess it was starting to deteriorate he just tore it down. And then the town told him that he had to put another building there, and that's why he put that there. And the other houses, you know his cousin, Mr. Charlie Mason, he had land on Old 86 by Eubanks, he was selling property so he bought a lot out there from him. He and Mr. Jim Jones and a few others, and so they built Mr. Charlie’s house and then Daddy built the two houses. He built, I guess, one brick house and then there was another that was frame, I guess, whatever you call them I don't know but with siding you know wood siding. So, he built those and this was all done [with] weekend work, and when he got home early, he did. It wasn’t something he was doing because he had to do it. We still were in our house, he was just building it because he had it and then he was renting them out.
