Modern bathrooms are a relatively new convenience. Here in the small farming communities of Alberta, a few families didn't get indoor bathrooms until well into the 1960's, which for an old goat like me wasn't that long ago.
Both of my parents used outhouses when they were children and they were born in the mid 50's.

Re: THE OUTHOUSE I have neighbors that still use an outhouse, no running water in the house. They have also never been more than 50 miles from home! Yep, I live in the sticks!

Re: THE OUTHOUSE Ah yes. Now this thread brings back some childhood memories.

Re: THE OUTHOUSE if you live in cold climate and really really hate your neighbors that have an outhouse when it is still cold, in the early spring, manage to drop a stick of bakers yeast into their outhouse when the temperatures rise, so will the yeast and so will everything else

Re: THE OUTHOUSE Infidel, you are diabolical! :laugh_m: I've used them in other countries. Ick! The funniest one I've ever seen was one in Ixcatlan, Mexico, perched on a slope about 100 feet above the reservoir. The slope fell away under the outhouse, and the local free-range hogs would excitedly run up and wait under it whenever they saw someone heading for it. Oh, and it faced the town and didn't have a door or even a curtain. Mind you, foreign visitors are so uncommon in the area that a crowd of locals follow you everywhere you go, so sneaking off for private business isn't really an option. The best we could do was to try to "stand guard" for each other and get over any bashfulness about bodily functions really fast! :haha:

Same here. They are still being used there BTW that yeast tip is from the far north of Russia.
