John: My grandparents had a bathroom in 1932, full 3 years before electricity. Water came to the house via graviety from up on a hill. My grandfather had seen these in the USA in the 1920s. Determined he was not going to sit in the little shack out bank in the heat of summer or cold of winter he built a bathroom.

He dug hole, put in a septic tank of poured concrete. The tank was 12' deep and 12' in diameter, along with just as large weeping bed. that system was in use, never opened anywhere for 62 years. The house burned and the county wouldn't let the new owner couple the new house to that system. Probably just as well, I built a new milking parlor and milk room on top of the old septic tank in 1972. An old timer who worked on the construction in 1932, pointed this out to me in 1977. Apparently my mother and a sister were reckless teenagers in 32 and didn't pay much attention to septic details.
