Enjoyable site, a bit short on specifics; I imagine they prefer you get a catalogue. As a kid after WWII I lived in a house in Kansas with a hand pump next to the kitchen sink; no running water but we did get a bathtub, had to heat the water on the stove and carry it to the tub. We thought we were real up town.
We did not have a road to the house; what for? A railroad track ran through the front yard... always being told not to play near the tracks. The nearest house was down the tracks beside the 'highway'; they got one of those televisions with the picture tube facing upwards and you watched it on a mirror. I couldn't imagine why anyone would want such a thing.
We had a gander that chased me around the yard mercilessly. 😐 It really wasn't such a bad life... We did have electricity. It was up in the mountains North of Chattanooga in the '80s that I lived three years without electricity, no phone, no neighbors (except that moonshine bootlegger down the hollow.) I was recovering from 20 years in Boston and NYC.
