Life was tough for Mrs. Walskys and her family who stayed in a small four room that was already falling apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

The place they where living was already falling apart ". . . My husband bought paint and did our bedroom over. Two weeks later the ceiling fell on Barry and me. . . ." she said. The bathroom also not up to standard and they had little number of rooms, from the document she says "There was no wash basin in the bathroom, only a tub and toilet. The two older boys slept in my father’s room and Barry shared our bedroom".
