My outhouses, like most I see here, have these pipes sticking up. I didn’t know what exactly they did, and honestly didn’t want to think too much about it. Today I found out! AfriGadget is a great blog, celebrating African ingenuity. I’ll be spending hours poking through it, I’m sure! I’m adding them to my blogroll so you can find it anytime you’re in need of an AfriGadget yourself.
However, I must confess that I do not use these outhouses. Here’s a picture of my favorite thing in the house. No running water yet, so I fill the tank by hand, but that’s fine with me! That way I can use laundry water and other gray water very easily for flushing. On a completely unrelated topic, for some reason every time I used the red eye remover tool in PhotoShop to try to fix this picture, it put black spots on my teeth and not on my eyes where I was clicking. Strange.
New career…world ambassador for the…
sorry, I just can’t write that.
tried the AfriGadget link in the post and it worked but it is not working from the list to the left.
Am I insulted about this new ambassador job…? Nah.
Fixed the broken link, thanks Dennis!
Love this post! So is the 800-number on the wall of the outhouse just in case there is a problem?
Yea. Just make sure you get the serial number from just inside the lip of the hole!
Laughing very hard at the thought of customer service for my potty…boy, could I use some service!
