[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1086349, member: 13268"] While I have never used an outhouse or anything I often wish that I had grew up in those times where that was the norm as well as my kids so they would have a REALLY good appreciation for what they have now. I truly wish I could have used horses to farm with for one year to see how it was. I got my great grandfathers farm equipment that was horsedrawn and I am reading up on it and trying to figure out how to use it. I am going to completely restore it while I do not like or have horses to get the full effect I will get someone to pull me on a tractor to simulate using horses one day. I do however remember ever year going to what we called " Wood Pile " and loading down the 1949 gmc truck with sides on it higher than truck cab and taking the wood home and splitting and stacking that is where I got my first taste of trees and loved cutting them and still to this day cut trees. I also remember great grandma milked cows and kept her milk and stuff needing to be cooled in what we called the spring house where it had pipes running in it and concrete floor wood sides and tin roof kept stuff pretty cool in there. We also had a grainery there and below it is where grandma kept all her canned goods and all the hog meat. Unfortunately, My great aunt wanted to sell the land and my grandmother that lives with me now did not and court made them sell and they auctioned the land off my grandmother didn't want to buy it and I didn't have the $ at the time to buy it. I tell ya something else you learn is some family just isnt worth a dam. [/QUOTE]
