A wattle and daub house is a house made from wattle, woven twigs, and daub, a mixture made mostly of mud. The house is framed with timbers, the wattle is put in the open areas between the frames, and the daub is applied like plaster.
There is link below to a picture of a wattle and daub wall under repair, showing the structure.
Very poorly. They were a tenant farmer for the Lord (landlord) and all of their labor went to him. They had small houses that were wattle and daub ( straw, mud, and other things mixed). The house was one room with a fireplace, door, and may or may not have a window. Furniture was sparse. They worked from sunup to sundown and had very few days off a year ( there were 8 holidays in medieval Europe and they all centered around the church). If they were lucky they had a small strip of land to grow a few vegetables for their own table or to sell to make extra money. They usually were not able to hunt since the land was closed to hunting without permission of the Lord. If caught they could be put to death or in prison. The peasant was heavily taxed and there was a death tax that had to be paid when they died. Life was hard for them.
Nearly all merchants lived in towns or cities. Villages did not have permanent markets, so they were not attractive as places to live for people who worked in markets. Permanent markets were among the things that distinguished towns from villages. Some merchants spent a lot of their time travelling, but they had homes, and usually also had shops and warehouses.
There was no middle class. This is a modern concept. In the Middle Ages there was the nobility, church class, merchant class, and serfs. The largest of the 3 was the serf. They were also required to be foot soldiers in war.
First pick a narrowly defined topic, such as: What houses did serfs live in? What did medieval people eat? What technologies were developed in the Middle Ages? When was the chimney invented, and how did people cook without one? Then do research. Ask questions in Wikianswers. Do not believe the first answer you get, unless it has good links. Follow the links. Wikipedia has a lot of articles, and the following would work for the above (found by following the "see also" links in Wikipedia articles): Wattle and Daub Medieval Cuisine Medieval Technology Communal Oven Chimney Then write. To write, first summarize what you tried to find out, then say what you found out, then draw a conclusion.
The ancient Romans put the same things in their houses as we do. They had their clothing, furniture, household goods such as cooking and gardening tools, etc. The only thing different was that most houses had a little shrine in some part of the house to honor the household and family gods.The ancient Romans put the same things in their houses as we do.
