    Well, the thing is almost everything had to be done by hand. So, the work never really ended. You had to cut wood for warmth and cooking, had to raise and slaughter animals and plant and harvest food, had to draw water from a well or creek to bathe and cook, had to wash your clothes on a washboard or rock in the creek, etc.
