The original "honey wagon"!

 

My mother often said if there'd been plastic porta-johns in the early 50s when they built this house, my dad would have never installed indoor plumbing! For years afterward he kept a wooden outhouse at the edge of the property near the treeline. Said it was the only place he ever got any peace and quiet! Had a lift-up toilet seat and everything in there.

I keep threatening to put in an outhouse here!

We get thirty to forty inches of rain most years where we live. We put up with the mud, wet leaves, cleaning the inside of the car and the carpets. The state keeps telling us WE have to cut back on OUR water usage because ninety percent of the people in the state live where they get fifteen inches or less rainfall! WE have almost no landscaping, I rarely wash my car. I do like clean clothes and dishes. About the only place left to cut back is to use a stinky outhouse to eliminate flushing.

Electricity, heat/ac and an exhaust fan required or at least the window has to open!

Oh no.  That is way too nice for my place! Way nicer than our main bathroom, and almost as big! Seriously, the bathroom here is a bit small, nice enough, just small.

Do your business and get out.  

 

Now I'll mind mine...

 

Take care.

Living in a woods has many benefits. 🙂

Yes it does - lots of leaves in an emergency 😳

Old folks were known to keep these in the little house away from the house. Better than getting a rash!

 

 

Me grandpa said scouring an unwanted dog or cat's behind with a cob soaked in turpentine was a good way to get rid of them. Someone did that to me, I think I'd have left town too.

Once the shop I worked out of ran out of TP and I hung three cobs over the roll holder. I didn't know the suits were planning a visit that day but a case of paper was there within a few hours!

Grandma didn't get indoor plumbing until the '50's.  As a little tyke, I was scared stiff of falling through the hole in the outhouse seat. She and Grandpa used catalog pages, but had a roll of tissue for visitors.
