    Share Share Post
    For a lamp they used a bottle with oil stuck in a board with a piece of tin at the neck to keep the wick rigid.
    When roofing a house they placed on the rafters and taobhain, then they cut long scraws and rolled them into a big bundle. Then they carried the scraw - bundle to the top of the house and rolled it down along the rafters to be make one layer of the roof and so on.
