If you're establishing a homestead in a remote area, building an outhouse is something you'll probably want to do in short order. A properly managed privy is at least as healthful for people and land as a septic system.

One of the very first and most important buildings needed on a remote homestead is a privy, which isn't as complicated to construct and maintain as you might have imagined. Both the surface privy and the pit outhouse are simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. As long as you follow some general rules for building an outhouse, you can hardly go wrong modifying either type to suit your own particular materials, skill, or location.

A properly managed privy is at least as healthful for people and land as a septic system and is far more than a place to evacuate waste ---CONTINUED---

We have a septic system and we have the old fashion, double seater outhouse.

The outhouse is the first place the grandkids go to when they come over. They just can't believe that people use  that, especially in the winter.
