Pyrate sez:
 
Living here as I do ; there are many locals that remember when the first plumbing and the first electricity 
came through (let alone telephone ) ;WPA created an ambitious program to fabricate and build for free 
poured concrete two holers for every farm and residence ...man that was living 


Mah Momma, may she rest in peace, talked about how the TVA in the late 30's brought electricity to the farm she grew up on (and to her neighbors) in south Georgia.  In my visits there as a yout', I remember seeing a hand-operated pump out beyond the kitchen door, but it never occurred to me to ask her about the sanitary portion of the plumbing facilities as they existed in her yout' and since there was a regular indoor bathroom in the house by the time I visited, it didn't occur to me to ask about prior plumbing arrangements.  And she wouldn't have brung up such a discussion, which would have definitely been bathroom conversation, as opposed to dinner table conversation.
