When I lived with Grandpa in West Virginia we hauled our water from the spring (about 400’ from his home). Actually the spring was the old family coal mine before they hit water while digging coal. That water was filtered through the coal in that hill. I’m telling you it was the clearest, cleanest water I ever drank. But I would have tried to beat up a black bear to have an inside pump!

I was always getting the business from all her relatives down there 
, total way different lifestyle. I have never lived anywhere that you had to chop wood 🪵 to feed the stove and the old Franklin stove or pump water as a daily part of living.

They put indoor plumbing in my great grandpa’s house back in the fifty’s but he never used it till he got in his elderly years in the late eighties. For years while everyone else used the toilet he still went to the outhouse. He said shittin in the house was the nastiest thing he ever heard of

After we moved away and Grandpa passed, my uncle ran a line to the house. I never benefited from it though. They ended up renting the house out to a family years later and when they stopped paying rent and were kicked out, the home somehow caught fire and burned to the ground.
Bastards.

It is supposed to be up around 70 Wednesday. I would like to fool myself into thinking that’ll be it for the cold weather. But it isn’t likely. lol

@TopShelfTrees1 lol it’s kinda funny, brother. Right now you’re jealous of our bit higher temps but come summer heat we’ll be jealous of your cooler temps!

You got that right bro. You can always put on more clothing to warm up but you can’t take enough off to get cool. I know, just ask the folks that work at Walmart! I tried to explain my reasoning but it fell on deaf ears! But I was comfortable all the way to lockup. Dang, they sure keep them cells cold. But at least the other prisoners didn’t bother me. They just left me sitting on that steel bench seat and gathered in the far corner of the cell.
Just in case you all need this…
