<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 2160583, member: 23&quot;]We had &quot;outdoor plumbing&quot; until I was 10 and no hot running water.&nbsp; We had a wood stove in the kitchen/dining room/living room and two small bedrooms.&nbsp; My Dad would get up early and start the stove and put a big kettle of water on so we could wash up.&nbsp; There would be frost on the inside of the windows.&nbsp; My aunts who still lived further out in the NH woods - one had a pump in the yard and the other had a pump in the kitchen.&nbsp; When I first moved to Boston I was enamored with the hot water coming right out of the faucet.&nbsp; My roommates thought I was loony.</p><p>It was 1967 when all the hippies were moving to the woods to &quot;live off the land.&quot;&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t wait to live in the city![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
