  Speaker 1: we have with property and getting a foot on the

  Speaker 1: showing green shirts, et cetera, et cetera. Forty four percent

  Speaker 1: bought a house with holes in the floor and the walls.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There were plants growing from the ground up into my bathroom.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The shower pulled. I had to use a bucket to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: empty the shower every morning. This carried on for two years.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: In fact, the shower was so small and the shower
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: head was fixed, so I had to duck every time
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I got on the shower to have a shower and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: duck my head, and the shower head was fixed. It
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: would only get me from my nipples down. Had very
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: clean nipples, very filthy here. Anyway, The point of the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: story is I lived like that for two years. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: fixed it up. On you go, things are okay, but
