Indoor plumbing - Just sitting back and thinking about it today gives me great joy for when I was growing up we had no such thing. We had to get our water from the well; spring, summer, fall, and winter. In winter we would have to prime the well then pump and pump till water came. We filled our pails and carried them back inside. We had no water to flush the toilet for we only had chamber pots or the outhouse. We’d fill the dishpan and rinse pan with water to do dishes. We’d take a bath in a galvanized tub or sponge baths in a wash basin. When I got married the only thing I wanted was indoor plumbing…..which I got.
