I was raised in Turkey Creek with no indoor plumbing or running water. The house I lived in until I was 6 had no electricity or running water. Kerosene lamps were used for light. Mama cooked on a kerosene stove. Washed clothes in a cast iron wash pot with a fire built under it. We had an ice box. Got our water from a picture pump in the yard. Bathed in a number 2 wash tub in water heated on the stove. Mama ironed clothes with a irons heated in the fireplace, and later with a iron that burned white gas. We had a fireplace, but you burned up on one side and froze on the other.

Sounds just like my childhood.

I hated ‘washdays’

The cast iron pot was located a good hundred feet (or so it seemed to me!) from the house where we had rain barrels to catch the water off the tin roof for washing clothes.... on a washboard!.....then hung on the line, nowadays called a ‘Solar Clothes dryer! LOL!................
