Until about 1960.ish, as a tyke, a visit to my paternal grandparents' farm included both an outhouse and, for visits of more than a day or two, a galvanized 'bathtub' in the middle of the kitchen floor.

They had electric, and even a big radio, but plumbing lagged awhile.

I also used a outhouse up to the middle 60’s, fighting them wasp and yellow jackets now them were the days, old enough to remember helping dig the first cesspool when we installed the bathtub and toilet bowl , in the summer we took a bath down at the river or in the wash and rinse tubs on the wringer washing machine.(don’t miss those good old days at all)
