We lived in several different coal camps. I remember washing inside walls down with soap and water during the summer. I had a friend that helped me and we made pretty good money over the summers during this. It was hard work but it put some money in our pocket. We did this several summers. You see the houses used coal for heating and the coal would leave black film on the inside walls of the house and hard to remove or paint over. We offered a service that few wanted to do...it was hard work and people would asked us back year after year.
