I imagine outhouse protocol is different in places where the ground freezes solid for six months of the year vs. places where it doesn't.

So in Finland does the idiom of a brick shithouse just mean "perfectly average quality construction"?

The main thing is to empty or level it out before freezing temps. Using a crowbar to break up the Great Pyramid of Poofu with icy shards of poo flying everywhere is not something I want to ever do again.

Ruflux posted:The outhouse at my grandparents' summer cottage had a whole bucket-shaped tub with drainage holes poked at the bottom and emptying it was simply a process of digging a hole somewhere in the nearby woods, emptying the tub there and covering the hole up. Incredibly environmentally friendly, in other words. It wasn't as horrible as it sounds since using the outhouse also involved throwing in some drying agent made up of organic material of some sort so it was mostly dried out mush of somewhat composted excrement and toilet paper but still. In the army the latrine cleaning duty is known as Atomic Patrol (because you get to wear your gas mask). Anyway there's probably sensible reasons for why things are done differently in different countries. Here it's loving impossible to dig a new hole half of the year because ground is frozen. Or if it's not frozen then it's probably too rocky or full of tree roots to be worthwhile. The old timers actually built their outhouses close to the waterfront, at least in Savo region where there's lots of lakes and thus many houses are by waterways. When the lake flooded in spring, it would flush the poo. Pretty nifty, except because people also ate fish from their home lakes it allowed tapeworms to thrive in the area until government required people to poo poo further from water. loving commie fascists.

I'm surprised the hammer drill didn't bust off the corner when drilled that close to the edge.

You don't need to move the outhouse if you don't build the outhouse. May I present the Auspol classic: THE GRID

No walls or anything resembling privacy or shelter from the elements, but beautiful views of storms blowing in over the Rocky Mountains while you poop.
