Time when facebook and youtube have not yet exist

Way back long before the turn of century back in '81 long before Youtube and Facebook..there wasn't even internet or cell phones..In a secluded place in the Mountains of Phillippines my father had already built a log cabin and was then building a larger cordwood cabin Proof that it can be done with out all the social media input. I used information form a book back then Remember those things that people used to write?
