Well good morning to you too!

It wasn't until mid 50's that my grandmother traded her OH's for indoor pluming along with a whole new resident and store! On a main highway Gratoit Ave. Roseville Mi.

It was a family adventure for my father and other helped build the new building as well as tear down the old.

My father worked as an Operating Eng during the day and evening & weekends continue to build a 2 bedroom, kitchen, bath, and Utility with store front.

My other grandparent added a room unto the house to bring indoor pluming! My grandfather was a carpenter and did blueprints!

One set of my grandparents didn't get indoor plumbing until 1959. One of my little brothers thought kool-aid came out of the pump in the kitchen, as my grandmother always put the kool-aid powder and sugar in a clear glass pitcher and then pumped the water. Grandmother liked the bath tub, but only took a bath and hair wash once a week, as a decent lady should. Granddaddy insisted on leaving the outhouse and continued to use it in the summer. He said he couldn't contemplate life on an indoor throne.
