My Dad's Father and Mom had an outhouse in their back yard.

This was in the city and i remember helping dig the trench for the sewer hook up to city sewer.

Had to flower the outhouse hole with quick lime every so often.

The new restroom was built on the back porch and you had to go out the back door to get in.

Had no water heater so it was heated on the stove then hauled out.

Before that showers were done in a #10 washtub in the back yard in summer,in winter was done in the kitchen.

Life was nice back then.
