I was fortunate enough that our family home had plumbing growing up, but we had relatives who did not. Did you have indoor plumbing when you were growing up? I can remember different relatives switching over to indoor plumbing or adding on a bathroom. Do you remember these outhouses?

I am 60 years young and for all of my life I have had indoor plumbing but I have used out houses many times. One of our relatives in Colorado had an outhouse that we had to use, it was a two seater which I would only use by myself. Another time when I was working on a ranch they had an outhouse for the workers. And of curse now on construction sites and other places where a lot of people are they set u; these "Johnny on the Spots" or portable out houses. I have made my contribution in several of them.

Actually it was the 80's when I remember one family who lived deep in the hollow who still had an outhouse. I was even forced to stay with them at one time when my mom was going thru some hardship. It wasn't bad during the day, but at night was creepy.
