Indoor plumbing is getting a lot more popular now, some houses even have electricity ! !

I had to use the one at work for the second time today as I was near it and desperate I will stick to going in the woods. Are the made for fecking midgets or what? The last thing you want to do in there is touch anything but it's unavoidable.

In Dixie the shithouse was  wood planks.So a brick shithouse meant you were rich. 

I grew up with indoor plumbing but our water come from a well.I would love to go back and have a cold glass of well water.

We have a choice. Turn the valves and we can have well water in the house system. I usually only have it to the outside taps though. I've washed the car and motorhome with well water today. 

In the old cottage we used to rent, the water came from a large tank fed by spring water. After heavy rain the tap water ran brown and we got shrimps in the bath. The kitchen tap had a filter fitted.

I've always wanted to have both.The springs where I grew up came out of deep limestone caves and wasn't effected much by rain.We had to be conservative  with water through the summer months though.You didn't waste water.

Where we live is towards the highest point in the region. Top of a hill between two sides of the same river valley as it curves around us. Yet we have two wells that never run dry. And the water comes out at 12C summer and winter so, in theory, we could tap into it and run it through a heat pump. The top of the hill is about 20 metres above us in a field. There is a well in that field that constantly overflows. I don't understand it.

That is very strange.I have been around alot of wells in my area.I have never seen a well on a hill overflow.Do you know the depths of these wells? 

Our well was 310 ft deep.I doubt it would have ever overflowed lol.
